"A no-frills, budget-friendly way to stay. Best if you just need a place to get a few hours of sleep, shower, and reset. Being a communal space steps away from nightlife and major roads, you're going to hear noise all night. Bring earplugs or just tire yourself out to the point you don't care, like I did. The staff is extremely accommodating and all of the other guests were friendly and polite. There's a cute outdoor patio, and ample restrooms. It is a little run down in appearance and could...

Samesun Ocean Beach - Hostel

Point Loma

10/10 Excellent

Such a chill & comfortable environment!! Ridiculously close to the beach where there are, what appeared to be, a great spot to catch some waves. There are surf & boogie boards to rent in house! Loved that they have staff at the front desk at all times to monitor those coming in. Even with door code that's changed daily it's nice knowing random peeps couldn't just come in with guests. Plenty of lounge areas to chill & meet other guests. Enjoyed my stay here & would return in a heartbeat!!! def...

Mission Beach

10/10 Excellent

The hostel was clean and the staff were friendly. We had a private room that offered many amenities most hostels don’t such as a TV, fridge and sink in the room. The bathrooms and showers were also private stalls which was nice. It is a bit hard to find as it is above a taco shop so we did have to look around for the door but all good once found. It also has a security lock as well. One block from the boardwalk/beach and there is a big free parking lot down the street if you can’t find street...

This is my very first time staying at a Hostel so I was very apprehended and nervous being a female traveler by myself! The place is located not far from downtown. It’s accessible to everything. I was a little....well a lot nervous and scared! Lol I did not sleep the first night having a big amount of anxiety! But it was quite clean the staff were super nice and comforting! I am not super social so I spoke to others briefly but kept to myself. If this is your first experience at a Hostel I...

I absolutely LOVED it here. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, and it definitely felt like home in about 30 minutes. Everyone here is traveling for different reasons, but there were a lot of Europeans that are backpacking around the United States. Facilities were cleaned every day, everyone was very considerate of others, and events were going on every night to give people things to do. Would definitely stay here again if I'm ever back in San Diego. <3
