Very clean, staff was a little more business like then friendly but respectful. Its location is the only draw back. Never felt unsafe but it took away a little from the the experience.

Prepare to be amazed! The Stay Classy Hostel isn't just a hostel; it's an experience. I've traveled the world and stayed in countless places, but this one blows them all away. The private cubicles offer unparalleled comfort and privacy – a huge plus! Everything is impeccably clean, from the restrooms to the kitchenette. Saving money is easy with the nearby grocery store and the ability to cook your own meals. The location is unbeatable – explore Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo, and the vibrant waterfront, all within walking distance! But the real magic lies in the staff. Brandon, Maria, Umberto ~ a US Army Veteran, Ricky, and Wayne create a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Trust me (I'm a US Navy Veteran & travel the SE Asia area to support the U.S. Military & their families stationed away from home), I promise you, you won't find a better place to stay in San Diego.
