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

Welcoming Place

It was comfortable and welcoming. The evening activity was karaoke and had a really welcoming and encouraging vibe. I enjoyed talking with the other guests from around the world. This hostel was mellow and I got a great night sleep. It was amazing to be able to walk to the beach! One downside is that you can’t park overnight in the Belmont lot across the street. I didn’t notice the signs and paid a hefty towing fee. My own fault.

Words can't describe the experience I had at this hostel. Reuben was an awesome host, along with everyone else. Very accommodating and always there to help. The location is the best, walking distance to everything, but also convenient location for transportation. Parking is easy as well if you have a car. I loved the activities the hostel provides for free every day. Not to mention, the amenities you receive like breakfast in the morning & some nights were they cook for guests. I never felt unsafe or bothered at all by other guests. Comfortable beds & enough privacy & security. I loved that it's a small hostel so it never feels too crowded. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely consider coming back in the future.
