Despite being an American hostel, has all the amenities and culture of a European hostel. Friendly staff and people staying there were all cordial and friendly. In a busy tourist area which is close to transit and lots of things to do, yet rooms stay quiet.

The staff really enjoy their jobs and are super helpful. I’m 70 years old and I had a blast. It’s certainly right in the middle of everything you could want (and more). Downtown San Diego is as eclectic as it gets, but I never felt unsafe. It’s a great area to ride a bike. I think you could say this is the perfect hostel; the key is you have to come from out of town (no locals).
