This hostel seems brand new with newly tiled showers and private bathrooms. The showers are very hot. The kitchen is large and set up perfectly for self-service and lots of space for storing your own food. The lounge areas are a popular place to sit quietly or visit with other guests. I was pleasantly surprised to meet all age ranges including quite a few retired people like myself. People from all over the country who were very interesting. I would be happy to LIVE HERE FULL TIME. I arrived late from Tijuana airport at 3 AM. The receptionist was so nice with me and gave me something to eat. I woke up after breakfast had finished, but the housekeeper, Yolanda, fixed me a nice breakfast and coffee. The art work and decor both inside and outside is amazing. Photos don't do it justice. I will return here on my next visit.

The Nespresso stations in every floor. The welcome cocktail we received on arrival. The breakfast was delicious and David at the reception was super attentive.

Modern, super sleek, I was upgraded for free, genuinely really nice staff! Mind blowing views of San Diego. I had my own personal balcony and private safe area. It was walking distance to downtown (im a kiwi and walk everywhere) I was sad to leave! Thank you so much for having me!

My best friend and I were there on February, it was our first time staying at an hostel and we loved it. The staff is very friendly. We stayed in a room to be shared with other 2 girls. Rooms are clean, comfortable beds with lockers to keep your stuff. We were surprised they had towels for you to use, bathrooms are always clean and showers have hot water. The kitchen is just exactly what you need, nothing fancy, just a nice kitchen with all what you need. Big stove, big fridge to keep your food. Location is away from downtown but it's easy to access to public transport to explore around. I will definitely stay there next time.

We had a wonderful stay! The house is very beautiful, located in a quiet neighborhood with easy parking and a lovely view over San Diego. There are plenty of services and shops nearby, which made everything very convenient. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and kind. The house was spotless and had everything we needed, from kitchenware to household essentials. All instructions were clearly documented, which made our stay even smoother. We truly felt at home and would definitely love to come back!
