Solo traveller, 24 years old, female. Stayed here for a few nights in Oct 09 and had a brilliant time. Great location in the Gaslamp quarter, loads of resturants and bars on the doorstep, close to transport to everywhere else youd want to go. Hostel itself is small which is brilliant as everyone talks to each other in the social... more

You get what you pay for so im not complaining, the hostel was in a great lcoation for bars, shops, nightlife, pretty much everything San Diego has to offer i'd guess. We only spent two nights here so cant say a lot. We had a four bed room for four of us so no sharing with other travellers, we shared... more

I stayed in one of the mixed 4 bed dorms at this hostel for 3 nights. My dorm was pretty small in comparison to some of the others, and absolutely boiling (it was August in San Diego, but it was a joke!)! The hostel has great amenities - free pancake breakfast every morning, free coffee and tea all day, free... more

This will ruin your trip if you are a seriouse traveler. It is for frat parties and discos. The music is so loud you can not even carry on a conversation with the receptionist. I asked the "supervisor" Chris if he could adjust the volume because I have a health condition. He refused the request. They should be stopped from... more

My boyfriend and I were expecting good things from this hostel after spending the previous week at USA Hostels Hollywood (great hostel) unfortunately the name was the only thing they had in common. When we arrived (very tired after an 8 hour bus journey) we were told we had to wait to check in despite the fact it was the... more

Located right in the heart of the gaslamp district!! Everything is within walking distance and public transport in San Diego is great. The bathroom was always clean and tidy, rooms were of a reasonable size and clean. This is a smaller hostel, most of the staff were very friendly. One thing that suprised me is they do not have a... more

Positives: cheap, central location, some staff are friendly. I have stayed in quite a few hostels so I know what to expect. For just over $20 per night this place gets you off the street and it is downtown if you value that. But I had a miserable time staying there. The room stank (as other reviews found) and there... more

I chose this hostel since I stayed at the USA Hostel in Hollywood last year, and that hostel was really good. Their San Diego Hostel cannot compare at all, it is very old and run down. It is very much for people under 20 who are there to party and get laid. The rooms are tiny and hot, thankfully my... more

The long and short of it is our stay at this hostel ruined San Diego for us. The rooms are small and dirty to start off with, the staff unfriendly and unhelpful, and the hostel is a 'party' hostel which means you won't get any sleep. After the 2nd night my boyfriend and I noticed bites all over our bodies... more

Management response from
USAH, VP Operations

It is to our regret that this reviewer had such an awful experience at our hostel. At the time of the incident our manager was out of town and the staff who handled the incident did not have any experience in such matters and, we admit (and admitted to this reviewer) that the incident was vmishandled. However, we did then...
