Incredible
Liked: Everything is very comfortable. From the moment you step into reception, you feel a very calm vibe. The rooms are cozy, and the beds are super comfortable.The different spots around the hostel are top-notch, from the kitchen/game room to the atrium.The location really makes you feel like a local in San Diego.While there is some street noise due to the area, it’s not really an issue—the rooms are very well insulated.The receptionists are lovely. Every one of them that I met was friendly, attentive, and spoke to you in a really nice way. Many of them speak Spanish if you need it.
Disliked: The cleanliness is a bit excessive in my opinion—they’re always cleaning. At times, I felt uncomfortable because they were cleaning while I was eating in the kitchen, and this happened at different times of the day.Since it’s a shared room, it’s really just luck who you’ll end up sharing with. In my case, I was with two Indian guys who didn’t have the best hygiene, and the room had a bit of a strong smell. But well, that’s not the hostel’s fault.

Clean and proper facilities, and...
Liked: Simple breakfast provided which is nice. Hostel location is Gaslamp quarter (downtown), so night time can be loud for light sleepers, but earplugs are provided. Great location to check out multiple clubs and bars at night. Relatively close to public transportation which can take you to the SD Zoo and Balboa Park, the airport, UCSD, etc. Room was simple and clean; locks are $6 on the first floor for the lockers if you don't bring your own. Multiple bathrooms are located throughout the floor.
Disliked: I'm a light sleeper so I had to wear earplugs at night to block out club music from outside. Not a big deal though.

Very good
Liked: Great location and hostel had everything I need
Disliked: You have to pay for parking outside location. They recommend a garage that charged $15 a day or anytime you leave you have to pay again.
