“This hostel cultivates a relaxed atmosphere that's hard to define, yet easy to appreciate. Its central location and budget-friendly rates, including breakfast, make it a practical choice, especially given San Diego's drinkable tap water which saves money. While some rooms can be noisy due to street traffic, the overall cleanliness and communal spaces are a definite plus.”
