If you are looking for a hostel in the San Diego area, I would suggest gaslight hostel than this one. This one is okay overall. It was cute and check in wasn’t bad. However this hostel was much hotter than the other one I stayed at. The walls are thin as fuck. This wasn’t on a busy street but all the noise was coming from other people in and outside the hostel. The inside noises were the worst even with door closed I could hear people in other rooms on their phones and talking. I have stayed at several hostels internationally and domestic. This is the only one I could not get good sleep in cuz of the noise. I can sleep through street noise but not when it sounds like people are talking outside your door. The staff was nice.
