2/10 Poor

Dirty place

The worst hotel I've ever been to. It smells like urine, the pillows are yellow from being dirty, they refused to give me a locker when others did, there are cameras in the rooms, they force you to sweep, there's no lighting in the common areas, the manager mistreats you, there's no privacy, and I don't recommend it for women. They robbed me and did nothing.

A cozy cobin vibe where one can feel right at home. Conveniently next to little Italy and the trolley.

I just got back from staying in hostels all over Europe for a couple months. This is nicer than most places I’ve stayed. It’s super quiet. Large fan provides great white noice. Staff is lovely. Great communal space.

10/10 Exceptional

One of the Top 3 Hostels in San Diego!

Was just in town for the night on a gig contract and have stayed at Podshare several times in the last few years. Steven & his staff do a great job managing the place plus I'm glad to see that ownership allowed them to put up a "Clean your dishes" sign!

Podshare and Friends

Excellent PodShare location. Staff is friendly and helpful! They offer day pass use for both the common area and the lockers in the lobby. There are a couple long term guests and some who are overnight only. Exactly what I would expect!

2/10 Poor

This has to be one of the worst Hostel I have stayed in. The place itself is very hot. No AC or fans inside where people sleep, it doesn’t even have window. It feels like a oven, I have no idea how anyone can sleep comfortably in that type of temperature. It is dirty, smells disgusting and a lot on the people staying there live in that hostel.
Hector, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I had reserved the pod share for myself and my family member but we decided that it would be better to stay in a hotel. I was charged for the whole 4 days and only stayed for 1 day. That is unsatisfactory in my opinion. Other than that it is a cozy feeling place to stay. They have community coffee witch was nice and community kitchen, tables, and livingroom in the common area.
Chad, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Everyone was fantastic when we got there. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay, however the quality of our company left us feeling unwelcome toward the end. This was not the Hostels fault as far as I can tell, it was just unfortunate circumstances about what was being watched on the communal TV. If you're okay with paying a little too much for pod-style accommodations where you may make some friends, by all means. However if you're looking for more privacy or, in our case, members of the LGBT community you may want to look elsewhere. We are two trans women and it was a little less than ideal.
Ellie, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

I wasn’t expecting a facility that made me feel totally uncomfortable and racially unwelcome during my stay. Next, I was told that I couldn’t wash my clothes because only the manager at the facility was allowed to wash my clothes, but when I asked her to wash my clothes she told me “NO”. At 3:33 am in the morning I was awakened by loud talking when I was told that “Quiet time starts at 10pm and no TV after 10pm. Finally the shower in the facility was unsanitary and dirty. I took pictures of the unsanitary shower
LaTonya, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I’ve stayed in 72 hostels as a free lancer and I’m other capacities both pleasure and work related abroad and in the US. The noice in this hostel was unbelievable. There’s no sound coverings at the top of any of the rooms! I found the one staff member there in the mornings to be cold and the tenants to be just as rude. There’s so many hostels in that area! I’d really encourage you to find another one, especially if you want to shower. It’s cold, tiny and less than appealing. One of the worst I’ve seen and I’ve stayed in some not so fancy places! The lack of respect I felt was pretty unreasonable and I promise you I present as pretty warm (and respectful). I was thus surprised to see and experience what I did while I was there. The one good is it lets you check in by 10am and some hostels are later, but I’m reaching for a positive.
