4/10 Fair

this place is bad. Plus, location is pretty noisy. Unless you’re heavy sleeper then you might be tolerating reserving a stay at this bad location.☪️
Alfred, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was my first time staying at a hostel, but I really liked the stylish interior. The young staff at the front desk were very helpful and provided detailed explanations. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, making it comfortable to use. Most of the guests were younger, and the friendly atmosphere, with everyone greeting each other with smiles, was particularly memorable. As I had heard that the hostel was popular as a place for socializing, I felt that it truly lived up to its reputation. On the other hand, some areas showed signs of wear and tear, but considering the very affordable price, I don’t think it’s fair to list that as a drawback.

It was wonderful! I did read people complained about noise due to bars and restaurants around, I was there for cinco de mayo and honestly it wasn't loud enough to keep us awake. Room is clean, friendly staff and I loved the location. Definitely staying again when I visit san diego
