HI San Diego Downtown Hostel - San Diego, California

Great location at a walking distance of everything at Gaslamp. The staff is super helpful and always there to go the extra mile. Clean, with a nice playroom and a kitchen that includes everything you'll need if you plan to cook.

Super recommended (as all the HI I've been), would go back.

It's a good budget place. The location is also very good. I stayed for a conference and saw lots of other people from the conference as well. The kitchen is well equipped. There were dozens of great places to eat within 5 min walk. Staffs are friendly as well

This was an okay hostle. I stayed her for the flight night of my cousins bachelor party. I first want to say, the location of this hostle is the best you can get, better than any hotel etc, the location was just great. Only downside for me , was the smell of the rooms, smelled like old 1950s house with a hint of dirty socks, but other then that it was great.

A decent enough hostel. If only it were in a better location and had a more friendly atmosphere.

It’s spacious, quiet, and nice inside but just lacks some love. The northwest facing window made the room roast during sunset, and my bag reeked of urine after sitting in the locker for a few days. Weird.

Staff is overall responsive but just there to do their job. It is a bigger hostel after all.

I left a night early to go to another hostel by the beach.

Had a great stay here while I was in town for a conference and sightseeing. The beds have a privacy curtain and individual power sockets, and there were plenty of bathrooms. Safe area for a solo traveler and it was easy walking distance to the conference center. There are large lockers you can fit your bags in. I would stay here again!

Clean, comfortable, fully stocked and ready to go kitchen, in the middle of downtown (and yes, there is the noise that comes with that, but if you aren't ready for that, it's on you for not understanding what being in the middle of the city entails). The front staff could use to smile more, it is hospitality after all, but otherwise, great stay.

Cockroaches seen on 3rd floor in the hallway, weird lack of bathrooms on second floor where we were, and prices were a little higher compared to Samesun out in ocean beach and Gaslamp hostel close by. Quite hot in room, even on a day with a high in the 60s. Service was prompt and professional , beds were pretty comfy and each bed is quite private.

Wonderful experience. Great Hostel to stay at. We were upgraded to our own private room just because!!
