Staff is awesome except one, Teressa. She will make you feel like a bum trying to check in at the Ritz with $20. We watched her speak down at guests,roll her eyes when asked questions and really upset this New Zealand gal over a late check out. She can ruin your whole stay.

The best Hostel you can go to in San Diego! Tons of other young travelers you can meet, comfy beds, cheap surfboard rentals, 2 min away from the beach! Great place to be, definitly coming back. The staff is great and they also love to party. Carly and Jason are the best, and they always go that extra mile for you. with $20 a night you would be crazy not to go.

I can see how this hostel would be great if you're young and want to party or hang out at the beach. This isn't what I'm looking for and I would have appreciated an edible free breakfast as opposed to half-cooked pancakes cooked by a volunteer who could not care less.

The receptionist was great and professional. She really helped plan our time in San Diego.

The room was nothing special. I've stayed in nicer hostels but it wasn't a dump. The bed bugs were a drawback but that can happen anywhere.

I'm not a huge San Diego or Ocean Beach fan, but if you want to stay by the beach near some ok eateries and get blasted, this would be the place to do it.

If you want to get away from all of the craziness on this planet, this is the place to be. The staff will make sure you are well taken care of and you will meet some lifetime friends. I spent 2 weeks out here in So Cal and wish I knew about this place before... I would have just stayed here the entire time! It is truly the most unique place I have seen anywhere and I travel all over the World. The food is excellent and for the price you cannot beat the service you will receive.
