What can I say with this being my first experience at a hostel, it was incredible. The room and common area are homey and welcoming. The staff is attentive and accommodating. The location couldn't be any better right on the Gaslamp District of San Diego. This has been an experience I will never forget and can only thank Maria and her staff who I've come to call friends. I would highly recommend this place to anyone coming to San Diego for the weekend or longer. You are going to feel right at home.
