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!

Staff were incredibly kind and accommodating during my short stay — they have plenty of activities every day to bring people in the hostel together, including movie nights and BBQs. The kitchen, rooms, and common areas are incredibly clean, the beds are comfortable, and a bus stop is very close by.
