First time staying at a hostel, needed to shower sleep and go. Couldn’t justify 300+ nightly for 2 days and 8 total hours in a room. Check in easy, clean, shower private, like a dormitory in college.

Samesun is a great budget option! The staff were nice, very strict on the rules, but that was ok because it made it feel like a safe and controlled space. Everything was super clean, and it is very close to the beach. I would definitely stay again.

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.

This was my first experience with a hostel and it was very enjoyable staying here. Having the ability to cook my own food is great. The location is great, so close to the beach. A target and CVS is in close walking distance. The transit system is quite effective too. The front desk staff is great and full of great recommendations.

This is my first time at a hostel and i enjoyed being able to cook my own food and have my own place. There was no pressure to mingle. No one bothers you if you want to sit in the corner to read for the whole day.
