Great location, super comfortable beds, and a wonderful atmosphere! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this place!
I had such a great stay here! Everyone was extremely friendly, welcoming, and nice. The hostel was very clean, comfortable, and had a really good atmosphere.
The location was amazing!! you’re close to the beach, Belmont Park, and plenty of great places to eat, so there’s always something to do nearby. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Mission Beach. I would happily stay here again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A nice hostel close to the beach and a bus stop. The bathroom and common areas were clean. The room had a bit of sand on the floor, I guess that should tell you how close to the beach this place is.
Cons:
There was person that looked like was “living” in the room.
The room had a slightly bad smell towards the mornings.
Excellent hostel in a perfect beachside location! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The hostel is very convenient, with easy access to the beach, restaurants, shops, and public transportation. The breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety of options to start the day. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, a wonderful experience—I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a comfortable, affordable, and convenient place to stay near the beach!
Stayed at a handful of hostels and this one's in a class of its own. Bunk beds are comfortable and private, with plenty of lockable storage underneath. The space is clean, warm, and genuinely well put together. Staff are friendly and they set the tone for the place. Taco Tuesday is not to be missed. Easy in and out, free parking just a block away. And the location speaks for itself.

Great location. It’s just a block from the Mission beach on the Pacific side. Cozy facility with friendly service. Guests were given codes to the rooms and front gate. Breakfast and dinner are included in the price. Bathrooms and toilets are clean and functional.

From the welcoming vibe maintained by the manager Rueben & his awesome staff, to the cleanliness of this super-chill hostel it's no wonder it's one of the top places to stay in San Diego! And when you include the incredible location across from the Belmont Park Rollercoas

I've stayed at this hostel twice now and have had a wonderful experience each time. The room is really cute (I've booked the private room) and the staff are friendly. The hostel is in a convenient location - if you're driving, there is free street parking in the area. I absolutely will plan to visit again next time I'm in SD.
Wonderful staff! A great place to stay to meet people and very close to the bus stop and many things. They host different events at the hostel to offer connections with others.
