Would recommend a stay here. My husband and I stayed in a queen room with private bath. It is noisy but we went there knowing that would be and just turned on the provided fan. Very clean room and cooled nicely with central air.

It was a nice hostel with nice people. They offered beach towels, sunscreen and some more things for free. They had vending machines and beach stuff for rent. The breakfast was ok and the kitchen was oretty well equipped. The women's bathrooms were nice but sometimes the showers stayed a little dirty for a few days.

This hostel is very nice and clean. They have a spacious common area and it is located next to the beach. They have a farmer’s market every Wednesday on their street and it was one of the best markets I have ever been. All the staff are very friendly and helpful! Def will come back to stay here whenever I’m in San Diego.
