HI - San Diego - Downtown

This is my third stay at a HI HOSTEL, the first in Boston’s, the second San Francisco, and no San Diego. I've traveled a lot over the years, but seldom have I enjoyed accommodations more. The places are quirky, this one filled with art, comfortable, clean, and located in interesting areas. But the two things in enjoy the most are meeting fellow travelers from all over the world and across generations and the staff. I marvel at the great staff in each. In San Diego as in the others, the staff were welcoming, extremely helpful, as pleasant as is possible! They are just great! I marvel at the quality of the staff and their good humor! They make the trip! Now in my elder years, HI Hostel has made a bit of travel economically possible for me. The surprise is how much fun they contribute to the journey!

Great location, friendly staff......it's an older building and fun, loud crowd, especially on the weekend...….just such an older building that there are few power plugs for phones and laptops, so bring a 3 way plug and a extension cord...….breakfast is nice.....just a great location, walking distance to everything.....I took the train to san Diego, so I just walked the .8 mile with my rolling luggage to the location.

My linens were very old and had stains. I felt itchy and the guys at the front desk said it was because the bed sheets were new... and believe me, they were old. I don't think they wash the comforter. My mattress cover had white spots all over, it was VERY disgusting I'm very sad this happened at a HI hostel as I always book with you.
