I came to your hostel when I could not live in my homes I paid for with my family’s legal money. I paid for almost 40 houses in the US, but my family could not live in any of our homes. While my father’s invention in medical science has bought brought unprecedented economy to this country, we have been living in brutal poverty.
You have an employee Angi, who must have taken bribes to tell me that I must live on a single room when I had only social security income in my bank. Angi told me that the rate for one room was $289 for one night. I thus had to check out.
Your hostel should be a good one without your snobbish employees like Angi.
Thank you for caring about my opinion.

So close to the Pacific beach, as if it's your backyard. Also liked they offered bike, water boards & things for rentals. They had a nice little community room & fridge to store your food. Breakfast was convenient & simple specially since food is very touristy price outside. It was clean, surprised how large, clean & spacious the shower rooms are for a dorm room. LOVED also the renowned acai stand outside our front door! Had one everyday :) Also the bus 30 is super convenient truly around the corner to get up to La Jolla! Gorgeous to wake up & have sunset right outside & watch the surfers alll day

I like the fact that this is not bunk bed.
I also enjoyed the fact that everything in the kitchen is labeled and there is seasoning, and cooking foil available for guests if needed.
Bathrooms were extremely clean with supply of soap available.
The staff was very receptive and put you at ease. I keep having problem with my locker and they came all the time without any attitude.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

It’s been the best hostel I have stayed, it was really clean, the bed is comfortable and you have your own privacy. The common areas were great and they had everything you need. I also liked how the organize the food in the kitchen.
Great location in town close to the airport and the Waterfront Park, Went to run the marathon and was a great location to get to the start of the race and to get after the race. The room is confortable and although there is a lot of noise outside by the passing planes and trains I was able to sleep without a problem, the rooms have good sound proof. The hotel is a budget simple place and you get what you pay, don't expect luxury but is safe, clean and quiet.
Friendly people both staff and hostel dwellers. Bars a bit cheaper than LA with proper pints and free entry. Good competitive yet friendly welcoming pool playing at bars just up from the beach.. Winstons club had a truly great band playing with large group of banging musicians and multiple happening vocalists, great after a skin full of Hazy IPA, makes you dance on the wind, you just don't want it to stop...
I think one of the best Hostel I have ever stayed in. Very clean, good facilities, amazing breakfast that's included, super friendly and helpful staff. Great location, pretty close to the beach and to the Airport. I definitely recommend it and would come back.
The hostel was nicely decorated and pretty chill. Some days there are events where you can get free drinks a meet new people. The restrooms and showers were newly renovated and clean. This establishment is perfect for lone or budget travelers.
It was super close to the beach, the people was nice, and it’s in a safe area.
The breakfas was good, they have baggel, fruits and cereals, coffe and teas.
What I loved is they had a rental shop aswell, so you can rent bikes, surfboards, and lots of other outdoors stuff.
they also have a schedule in the main room where it shows different (free or super cheap) activities. I went to a free yoga class infront of the ocean, and I also got fish tacos for $1.5 in the restaurant near the hostel
Great location, nice free breakfast, helpful staff, communal areas were clean. Hostel was quiet and the staff were very good with keeping the place safe and secure, generally all round it was very good.
