You Get What You Pay For

The hostel has a nice location--it's right in the middle of Gaslamp Quarter. It's accessible by public transportation. It's also reasonably priced--I paid $25 for one night in a four-bed dorm room. I could have paid $3 less had I been a member of Hostelling International.

One of the drawbacks is that it's on top of a bar and the patrons get really noisy until closing time, which is around 2:00 AM (at least it feels like it). I also can't understand why I was given an upper bunk bed considering that I am 6' 1" tall and weighs 220 lbs.

Except for these small matters, the hostel is fine. Basically, you get what you pay for. However, I was able to see San Diego in two days instead of just one.

GREAT hostel in Ocean Beach, GREAT location!

I didn't stay there but know people who have! Great hostel, cool people from all over the world staying in OB. Very laid back, great energy. If you don't have alot of cash but want the ocean steps from your door, think about staying there. Ah, one more thing! You must provide proof of international travel to stay there.

Unique Quality: Oh so close to the beach!
