I was in a double room with my boyfriend and i really liked the hostel. almost everyone was very nice, everything clean and the kitchen and common room had everything you need. the breakfast could have more variety, since it only has pancakes. and the hostel is too noisy in the early morning. More

If you don't love staying here, well, ... The Point Loma Hostel is located right off of the 923 line from downtown San Diego. $2.25. The hostel is very chill. They have mixed and same sex dorms, plus a few singles. The staff are friendly and tolerant when it comes to hanging out for a while after checkout(10:30am). All the... More

This was my first hostelling experience and it was a very good one. I was in San Diego attending a professional engineering conference and was on a tight budget. This is a great rate for what you get. The hostel was very clean and the staff friendly. When I brought up a maintenance issue with the staff they fixed it... More

We stayed here for three nights at the end of a six-week road trip from Seattle, so needed somewhere to chill for a few days before flying to Central America. Point Loma was perfect. The hostel is very welcoming, we arrived mid-evening, but still got an enthusiastic greeting from Matt, who gave us a quick tour and showed us to... More

Spent a few nights at this hostel in a private room. Staff is very nice, especially James who is there during the day. Hostel is clean (and was getting an extra special scrub as inspection was looming...) and the kitchen is the best hostel kitchen I've seen (matching dishware, granite countertops). I loved the special attentions that are all over... More

I stayed at the hostel for 6 nights and slept in both a dorm and a private room. Both were very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were also very clean which was appreciated. There was ample storage space for my things, the kitchen has newer fixtures and appliances, which made the experience nice also. They also do $5 taco night/BBQ... More

I've stayed in lots of hostels, and this is one of the best. I found it immaculately clean, the staff was professional, friendly and helpful. I slept like a baby on a better mattress than the one I have at home. The communal spaces nurture interaction with other hostelers (and everyone I met was great) but there are also lots... More

I just returned from a 2 week stay at the hostel. I cannot speak highly enough about the professionalism of the staff, their dedication to detail and how hard they work. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and I slept like a baby on the Posturepedic mattress. When meals are prepared for evening meal ($5) the quality is great.... More

Point Loma Hostel is the first hostel I have ever stayed in, and I chose it over staying at expensive hotels in San Diego the second time I went. It has a delicious make-it-yourself but free pancake breakfast. The staff was helpful but not pushy. Huge common area. Clean private rooms. The bathrooms were sort of unfortunate (like dorm showers... More
