The high San Diego hostile was very nice with lots of really beautiful art. The staff was great! It was very safe and well organized. The kitchen was always clean. There was coffee on demand and cold water. The sitting areas were clean and comfortable and it was nice and quiet.
El Hostel estaba muy bien ubicado y tenía todos los servicios que se puedan necesitar, menos parking. Muy ruidosa la zona por la noche y por la mañana. Difícil dormir
Great hostel ! Perfect location , very big community room , fun vibe , free coffee and basic breakfast. Good choice in terms of price / location / amenities for San Diego

Easy access to lamp light district and conference center.
We had a private room it had a sink which was nice. They had plenty of bathrooms so no waits for showers or anything like that. Free breakfast! Lots of neat areas to hang out in. The location was the main selling feature it would be triple the price to stay in that area any other way
