Everything was well-kept and clean, it was very good. I had no issues at all with the coordination of the booking, all the information was clearly and fully provided, a seamless process. The staff was incredible, Allie was so diligent and friendly and she fully explained everything and left me with no questions whatsoever, I truly appreciated her help. The beds and comforter were very comfortable and made falling asleep very easy. The employees are always on hand to help out should any needs in any way arise. Various necessities such as locks and towels are all made available which is great if you happened to forget or didn't bring them. The bunk beds had electric plugs and lights right in your space to help make sure you are charged up and have the ability to see where you're going. It is right in the beautiful town of Ocean Beach which makes it more interesting and you can walk right to the beach, it is that close bow, so fun. You'll be able to fall asleep very easily as people seemed to be respectful when coming and going and they have earplugs if you need to use them. A great stay for those on a budget as well. Both male and female solo travelers felt safe and should feel safe during their stay here, as the other reviews mention as well. It was great having conversations with guests from all over the world, and the common area was very cozy and nice as well. People who have never stayed at a hostel before shouldn't hesitate to check this place out, it will be very comfortable and secure during the entire stay. The kitchen also has everything you could need to cook a meal and places to store and refrigerate your items. I can't think of a single thing that went wrong or that I could make a negative remark about in any way, Allie was just the best person you could imagine through the entire stay along with the other team there. I recommend others check this place out, I am definitely planning on coming here the next time I'm in San Diego.
