Words can't describe the experience I had at this hostel. Reuben was an awesome host, along with everyone else. Very accommodating and always there to help. The location is the best, walking distance to everything, but also convenient location for transportation. Parking is easy as well if you have a car. I loved the activities the hostel provides for free every day. Not to mention, the amenities you receive like breakfast in the morning & some nights were they cook for guests. I never felt unsafe or bothered at all by other guests. Comfortable beds & enough privacy & security. I loved that it's a small hostel so it never feels too crowded. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely consider coming back in the future.

I'm sorry for not giving an excellent review. The location and the staff were wonderful, and they kept the place clean and kept the guests feeling welcomed with good attitudes and activities, but having only one sink in the hallway to share amongst many of the guests was awkward. Besides that, Ihad a great experience.

This was my first experience staying in a hostel and I have to admit it was great! Reuben was wonderful and the place was constantly getting cleaned. I had a private queen room and it was perfect. The shared facilities were well kept and I have zero complaints. The location of this hostel also made it easy to walk to Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. As someone who did a solo trip, I would recommend staying here!
