San Diego Hostellit

Plussat: Good for single traveler. Beds are comfortable with a curtain for more privacy. Everything is clean. Attract nice people you can chat with or go out. Activities are available

Plussat: Very friendly and laid back vibes throughout. Big open kitchen and communal area with smart tv. Perfectly located a stones throw from the beach, and surrounded by lovely bars and places to eat

Miinukset: Nothing. 10/10

Plussat: Super clean! Super friendly staff!!! Super location!!!

Miinukset: Sorta thought there would be more breakfast choices..... The TV and remote were quirky and difficult to use, unresponsive.

Plussat: Rey Ray was very helpful. All staff was kind and accommodating.

Miinukset: Mattress could have been slightly more comfortable

Plussat: Friendly staff Clean facilities The breakfast was not bad at all (some of the restaurant staff were not as polite, maybe they didn't like the idea of serving free breakfast!!) Some nighta the hostel has enjoyable vibes You meet people that you would not expect to meet The laundry Of course the location of the hostel js great several seconds to the Pacific Beach(I would stay there only for this pro).

Miinukset: The restrooms are not enough compared to the number of beds Breakfast window is tight ( from 830 to 930) I wish that the hostel had its special activities

Plussat: Ray Ray is a very fun and energetic employee, has great recommendations for the area. The breakfast burritos included in the price of stay are super tasty and filling. Each bunk has a privacy curtain that gives a sense of relaxation. The beds are really big for bunk beds.

Miinukset: The bars on the stairs to the top bunks make climbing in bare feet a bit painful. And it gets really cold at night in the SoCal 'winter'. Ask for a second blanket.

Plussat: Great location, right by the beach and places to eat. Clean and tidy. Ray Ray has great recommendations. Will be back in the future

Miinukset: The hostel is small so be prepared to hear a bit of noise of what is going on around you. Not a major issue though.

Plussat: I arrived on Thanksgiving and was even served a special breakfast

Miinukset: Street parking is limited. It’s in a quiet place but is far from scenic spots.

Plussat: New sheets, pancakes, bonfire and nice looking place

Miinukset: Charged extra $3, i wasn't informed when i made the reservation! It is very far from anything and no close bus routes, had to walk uphill for 40 minutes to reach the place!

Plussat: The staff was nice it was really clean plenty of amenities and a great location, and it was to close to other things to do.

Miinukset: The check-in process took a lot longer than I would have preferred. And it would be nice if check in time with a little bit earlier. However overall my experience is great.

Miinukset: The description said there was parking. Unfortunately there is only street parking and had to circle a few times to find a spot within a reasonable distance.

Plussat: They charge 4dollars extra which wasn't indicated as at the time of booking. So I cancelled. They went ahead to charge my credit card. Fortunately my credit card was blocked.

Miinukset: The hidden charges. Not so great staff attitude.

Plussat: clean and wide space

Plussat: The location was really good and the vibe at the hostel was even better! Everybody was sweet and check in and out was super easy. Shower + toilet area super clean and easy to use. Good breakfast with all you need

Miinukset: The room was clean and felt new, but kinda small and pretty noisy.

Plussat: Every HI that I have stayed at has been nice and clean and quiet. The kitchen at the Point Loma hostel was fantastic! I would enjoy staying again and for a longer period of time.

Plussat: Easily accessible to various places of interest for driving and walking. Well presented and maintained with good amenities including laundry. Good layout with limited number of places. Intimate residence.

Miinukset: Stairs.

Plussat: Everything was perfect. If you want to meet people, have a great time with the best crew ever, you have to go there. The place is perfect for surfing, only 10 min driving to Ocean Beach. Park everytime around the hostel. Downtown at 20min driving. Thank you for everything it was my best time in the USA.

Plussat: The staff were friendly and the sheets were clean. Good location.

Miinukset: The planes that flew overnight. Also I was near the bathrooms so there was alot of opening and closing of the door that was quite loud.

Plussat: The room was clean, bed was comfortable, bathrooms pretty well maintained, pleasant staff. Basic breakfast but I guess that is standard for hostels, at least it was something. Not too far from public transportation. HI San Diego took care of my needs while I was checking out the city for a couple days.

Miinukset: More counter space in the bathrooms would be nice. Several of my toiletries fell in the sink/on the floor because there is not much room for a girl to spread out her things. Also their power source is weak or something. I had to sit around and wait forever for my phone to charge at the end of each day and I tried several outlets in the building. It would have been nice to have an outlet by my bed so I could charge overnight.

Plussat: Great location, right in the heart of downtown. It was a block away from a CVS and close to other grocery stores. Extremely close to the Padre's baseball stadium and about a mile or two away from the USS Midway. For the price and location it can't be beat.

Miinukset: I chose a shared room with 4 other guys. Our window faced the street. I don't drink alcohol so it was a little hard to get some sleep. We either had the window closed to help muffle the noise and were really hot, or we had the window open and had a lot of outside noise.

Plussat: Location, cleanliness, spacious, really great bathrooms, friendly staff

Miinukset: Nothing - the HI hostels are among the best I stay in always. Breakfast was a bit limited

Plussat: The room is tiny and the free breakfast is limited, because you only can have 2 bagels for each one. The worst breakfast ever compared the HI hostel I used to stayed.

Plussat: I like it on general, their breakfast was nice and the staff is pretty helpful and nice

Miinukset: Did not like the the soap and the room location only it's not facing the street

Plussat: Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: I stayed in a single room, that had a window that went into a closed patio. Despite the air condition there was a poor flow of air, and the room smelled of wet dog for the duration of my stay.

Miinukset: too loud at nighttime because of the many bars and people on the street. Thin windows.

Plussat: Diverse

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The hostel is a 4-star hotel in disguise.. Superb experience and value for money. Perfect proximity to major areas.

Miinukset: As a traveler from the UK, I didn't know there was an "American adaptor" for phone chargers...Lol....I was stranded at first, couldn't charge my phone but later got relief from the hotel staff.

Plussat: The room was kinda tight for space but other than that it was ok.

Miinukset: I didnt like how crowded the room was .

Plussat: Great staff and facilities

Plussat: The staff is young and enthusiastic, very welcoming. The rules in place make you feel safe and the location is great near downtown and major attractions.

Miinukset: Could use some cleanup in some areas or air freshener to improve air quality in common areas.

Plussat: It was so exciting to meet wanderers from all over the world. There are so many stories to be shared and so many opportunities to do so. The Hostel is hospitable and so colorful. The laundry room was also a big plus!

Plussat: I like the atmosphere and location

Miinukset: Sometime the bathroom is busy being used by others

Plussat: The staff was helpful and friendly. They have me a tour and prepared me for breakfast and activities. Other guests were courteous.

Miinukset: Some people had colds and were coughing. There was the usual snoring, but it wasn't a bother. I thought $28 was a little high for a nights stay.

Plussat: Staff is excellent, create a warm environment.

Plussat: Moderni, ystävällinen hostelli San Diegon keskustassa.

Miinukset: Ei kerrottu, että huonetoverilla oli huoneessa koira.

Plussat: Not much; it is mediocre

Miinukset: First of all rude staff (at least one); then other staff not really compatible and/pr knowledgeable (young girls arrived fresh from Brazil and put in charge of reception). The place is small, not really much of common areas (other than outside); Not very clean; congested bathrooms (upstairs where I stayed there was just one single bathroom for 4 room (that is 24 people...). Very small kitchen and dining room; and no breakfast (other than the instant packet of oatmeal). For the booking process online I give Zero; it is kind of misleading, in few ways. Total score - mediocre minus minus.

Plussat: Some of the staff were really nice. Dinner was nice when u had the chance to eat it. Great opportunity to meet and chat with people. Bunk bads with three bads is too much.

Miinukset: Management. Wasn't ready to solve problems. Sometimes very polite. Sometimes rude.

Plussat: I liked that there was an outdoor shower. I liked the common room spaces within the houses. The staff were really nice and there was a lot to do everyday socially. I liked that I could bring my own food to cook.

Miinukset: The breakfast was okay however there was little choice in what to eat. It would have been nice if there was more.

Plussat: The Management of the hostel is incredible! The Dinners were sublime until they cancelled Dinners at ITH.

Miinukset: They have discontinued Dinners, which were always a joyous and fun event! They should reconsider having Dinners!

Plussat: every staff member was smart and happy

Miinukset: bedroom smelled in morning due to no windows and no air movement

Plussat: Nice, friendly, cozy, positive

Miinukset: kind of small, rocking bunk beds, short on common areas and kitchen facilities

Plussat: I liked the location and the facilities and all attractions available throughout the week. The breakfast was good for a hostel. Similar to all hostels I have been around the world. All personnel were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Since the place is in a central neighborhood, it is a bit noisy. You have to use earplugs they provide in the reception booth. What I didn't like were the taps in the washroom. They were time-adjusted and when you hit the tap, the water flows only for 2 seconds. It is a bit frustrating. 5-10 seconds would be optimal.

Plussat: The wifi is free and decent. Very close to the Gaslamp Quarter with lots of shops. Discount tickets to SeaWorld and the ticket last 2 days. Free breakfast. And some nights free dinner.

Miinukset: No elevator in the 4 floor building. Cannot use the laundry until after 3 pm.

Plussat: They are very concern about the cleaning and they also serve a good breakfast.

Miinukset: The fact that we had to change rooms because our first one was having a float and the T.V. wasn't working either.

Plussat: I loved how the restrooms where so clean and the showers were too. The kitchen was great and the breakfast is healthy and I loved it. I'm totally down to come back again.

Plussat: The KITCHEN!! It’s so big and almost complete. I love cooking and having my meals here. Overall this hostel has everything that I needed during my stay. Jacky is the nicest of all and also the young girl at the reception desk when I checked in on January 6th. Daniel from Brazil also made an effort to communicate with me. Another lady with dark hair who’s always cleaning at the kitchen, she always smiles and is very helpful (I’m sorry that I don’t have her name). Other staff, from my observation, just hangout with guests who speak their language and don’t really smile. It could be of language barrier, but it shouldn’t be hard to just throw a smile :) It’s a beautiful hostel (although old looking), and I’ll definitely stay here again. It was a very comfortable stay :)

Miinukset: It’s noisy at most nights as my room was close to the kitchen. Some staff and a group of their friends tend to gather there and were loud. I could also hear noisy drunk guests/staff at night too. But I guess, it’s not within my control. If I want a comfortable place, I should stay at a hotel.

Plussat: Great location - walking distance to everything - easy going & pleasant staff onsite 24hr a day -

Miinukset: One of the windows in the 4th floor were I stayed didn't have a screen on it.

Plussat: Room was clean. There was an issue with the shower in my room 216 and caused a mess on the floor. But clean hostel and no issue with staff. And surrounded by everything

Miinukset: Stunk

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: I only wanted to use the shower after a morning at the beach. I was getting ready for a meeting later. I could not find anyone to check in with, so I went to find the bathroom. The shower had a urinal in it that was filled will pee! The sink had a tampon floating in it. I left and didn't use or touch anything.

Miinukset: The dormitory smells like wet garbage, like there have been homeless people living there

Plussat: The beds are fine and there were blankets. It's cozy and warm.

Miinukset: The breakfast wasn't good tbh.

Plussat: Friendly staff, they work very hard to work with you. For the price you can't go wrong!

Miinukset: From the outside it needs to look a little more inviting to attract more people.

Plussat: Andre and the entire staff have done an excellent job at RK Hostel! Inviting and friendly, I had a very enjoyable stay in the clean and comfortable rooms. The coffee was great, the breakfast was breakfast, and the location snuggles on the very fringes of Little Italy, which smells like pizza, cannoli and virgin olive oil all rolled into one incredible olfactory experience. Enjoy authentic Italian groceries and wines at Mona Lisa right down the street.

Plussat: The staff was great, kind and very helpful

Miinukset: A little cold in the building but nothing a jacket can cover

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: No air condition. You never can adjust the water heater level. Long time registration process.

Miinukset: The kitchen has no light, only a small lamp, and the fridge smells disgusting.

Miinukset: Customer service is complete and utter garbage

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: No one answered the door or phone, I had to sleep in my truck that night. Disappointed in the unprofessional of this company
