Ostelli a San Diego

This hostel is set up really well and it pains me to leave such a negative review as you can see so many elements are really good such as the community rooms/laundry area/check in. The issue we had was our room 306 was above the Main Street for drinking plus the bike cabs used under our bedroom window as a cab rank blasting music out all night until 4am on their trikes. The window does not close properly and when we returned to the room after dinner and drinks I obtained 4 towels from reception to wedge into the gaps to try and muffle the music and traffic sound. I noticed the back tube for the air con was broke and I tried repairing this with some plasters we had as it was pumping hot air into the room as it was a nasty noisy old style unit that went via the window thus making even more gaps in the window. Even with ear plugs in, wedging the window closed with towels and the very noisy aircon on for white noise you can hear the music/road traffic. I messaged reception at around 2/3am to see if we could be moved to another room but we would have to vacate the current room immediately at 2/3am before they would give me a key for an inside room with no road noise. My partner was sort of sleeping and I asked could we not move in the morning fully? to be told in a rude, nasty manner NO! The lack of consideration, empathy and emotional intelligence in this situation was unbelievable especially considering the time.. I then cancelled the other 3 nights stay immediately due to the unprofessional and nasty attitude of the person. Whilst packing in the morning I found a nasty old mattress under the bed covered in dust. The room was quite dusty and was in need of a deep clean. Such a shame as if the room had windows that closed or/& secondary glazing it would have been amazing.

Once again I had an incredible stay here, the staff and location are both terrific! Just like last time, Olivia was totally awesome and did everything she could to ensure that my stay was perfect. Everything was very clean and well-kept in all places throughout as well. The entire setup is organized to help make new friends, ones from all over the country/world, which is a plus for people who are socially active or like to get to know interesting people. The price is great as well, for those who are keeping costs on their mind. I feel both younger and older people would be able to handle the setup, the bunks are very easy to navigate, not cumbersome or hard to get in/out of at all. Overall, I have no complaints or bad thoughts in any way whatsoever, everything went so well for this most recent stay here. Olivia was SUPER professional & friendly throughout the entire experience again & I highly encourage anyone who wants to spend time in this part of San Diego to go ahead with Samesun.

This hostel is CLASSY just as the name implies. The living space is huge, clean and awesome and filled with amenities like desks to work at with USB ports, sofas, benches, pool table, multiple TVs, etc. The kitchen is complete with FREEZER too (I was able to enjoy ice cream during my 5 night stay). I met a lot of cool people during my 5 night stay. There was coffee either always made or you can make a batch easily since all supplies were provided. The place was VERY bike friendly - I was able to leave my bike each night and not have to worry about it getting stolen from the outside. Bathrooms and the whole place is kept very clean. Staff is helpful and does a great job in maintaining the place. Carlos was particularly great - he shared a lot of empandas with me - he was very friendly. Fresh towels always available. The sleeping quarters were comfortable, spacious, quiet, etc ... This place is a secret gem - an awesome find. Con: When walking from the trolley station (2 blocks away) you do have to walk by some homeless people. Just be prepared for this. Con: Coffee creamer provided is french vanilla - it messed up the taste of coffee for me. I wish they provided original creamer (no flavor).

A great little hostel in the centre of town. A very well laid out hostel with a nice common area and clean and comfy rooms/bathrooms. Good transport links nearby to get around the city and to the airport.

The hostel was really well located, since it's not far from the airport or the San Diego convention center if you're visiting the are for a convention. It's also close to the gaslight district which is a great area to check out while visiting San Diego. It's also very affordable, would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking to travel to San Diego.

Another enjoyable stay during SD Comic Con! Stephan, the manager was very responsive to and questions and requests. Wanted to mention that staff member Eric was very helpful.  I appreciated his help in getting the morning going with much needed coffee. The bed in my room was very comfy.  The facilities were very clean as usual. The kitchen was in excellent condition.  I hope to stay there again next next year!
