Limited towels and cheap ones too. Noisy, especially in the weekends. Check out is at 10am rather than 11am. Honestly, stay away

Property was awesome for a hostile. They kept the bathrooms clean, and the property itself is in really good shape and updated. Only complaint is that room service didn’t come into our room once to clean up. Also, we didn’t know it was a hostel. It turned out being OK but you have a shared bathroom with everybody.

Very clean and quiet. Staff was helpful and friendly. Only a short walk to get to all the restaurants so it's perfect for an evening walk to go get some dinner. About 15 minute walk to get to the harbor. Will definitely be staying again in the future

Clean property and cool amenities. As much as we enjoyed the location and easy walk to Little Italy, the noise from the street and people slamming doors all night using the shared bathrooms, I doubt we stay again.

This accommodation is not a hotel. It is a hostel. The price seems good for San Diego at first, but they surprise you with a $25 a day surcharge for "amenities" (a coffee machine and cheap packaged breakfast items). With how much you end up paying, you might as well book a nicer hotel. The rooms were very very small. There is only one bathroom for an entire floor, so you have to share it with many rooms. One of the bathrooms was out of order for 2 days, so guests were made to shower upstairs. There was no privacy in the bathroom, as the windows were left open. The staff were friendly and helpful though.

It has a nice look inside and out. The surrounding area is really nice and little Italy is so cool. The biggest downside is in the shared bathroom, the shower was not draining. The water was up to my ankles. So then I question even though the bathroom looks clean, why was this not fixed or was it not noticed. Luckily, another bathroom down the hall was a lot better. Ample coffee around too but I'm unsure how often they change the water in it.

Easy check in. Good communication. Great location. Close to lots of restaurants and bars, and can drive to most attractions within 10 minutes. Nice hotel. Older building that has been completely renovated. Highly recommend it.
