I am impressed! This facility is the nicest hostel I’ve been in. The layout is perfect. Great privacy for what it is. Clean, modern, spacious. Common areas are large. I will be looking them up next time I’m in SD.

Super clean, fantastic staff. Bed and room was comfortable, blackout curtains and you feel like you get your own privacy. Everything was excellent. Small locker, towel, and shampoo also provided -- I'd recommend bringing your own conditioner and also a pair of slippers/flip flops for convenience to wear after showering. I really appreciated how they let you store luggage before check-in time, and until 10pm after you check-out. I'd stay again in a heart beat, best hostel ever!

Clean space! It is located in a good area, and grocery stores are within a walking distance. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. The Gaslamp Quarter on 5th Avenue is just a 15-minute walk away! Also, you can take the trolley on Park and Market St. to commute to various spots.

Great stay. I was traveling alone and the bedding space was adequate. Spent 2 nights, used their lockers as well. The showers and the restrooms were very clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Walking distance to little Italy, Gaslamp quarter, Petro park and to the MTS station on the Market station. 100% percent recommended for solo travelers.
