Absolutely terrible service and I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying here ever again.

Was trying to help my mom check in one night while she was in the States visiting me last year, and because we weren’t white (and yes, I AM using the race card here), the front desk associate working at the time was treating us like we were a ticking time bomb or something. Basically treated me and my mom like 2nd class citizens.

Long story short, we ended up leaving.

Even Hostel on 3rd located in the Gaslamp Quarter is better.

I had to leave the first night as there are no conditions for a human being to sleep even few hours there or at least it was my case … my roomate was smelling so bad, very dirty, he has 40 boxes of medicine and was snoring all the night. I can understand the price which is very cheap but I can’t understand how a human can sleep there especially with a smell like the one I got in my room. No isolation, extreme loud noises from other rooms during all the night …. I booked another accommodation which costs almost the double but believe me the conditions are seriously bad there …

It’s a hostel, so there is at least 3 other people in the same room as you are.. however, it was pretty clean, bathrooms were spotless, rooms are sound proofed.. people at the reception are friendly & helpful.. I love the location cuz I love ocean beach & how it’s close to lots of restaurants, bars & shopping stores

My Husband and I stayed here just this last week for the first time and we loved it! Had such a good time that we extended our stay for the day. The staff is great, and the atmosphere is really a positive community vibe. We we're worried about being too old (46 and 45) but there was a great mix of ages and people and everyone talked to each other. The community spaces were clean. Stay on a Wednesday so you can go to the night farmer's market! If you get a chance, the swings are a great place to sit on the front porch and people watch! We stayed in a private room with a double bed, sink, toilet and shower. Next time we are in the area, we will be staying there again!

This is the best place I've stayed for a long time. I loved it in every way I can remember, and I agree with all the 5-star reviews about it.

As a "people oriented" person I was very impressed about the vibe in general and, especially, the quality of the staff members. On this aspect - besides the fact they are very nice and competent people - what impressed me the most was their freedom, disposition, ability, and willingness **TO MAKE DECISIONS** in order to help the guests in every way they can. In my experience, this is a rare event, and makes this place unique.

Staff members like Chris, Koa, Mark, Erik 1, Erik 2, Aly, Brendan, and a few others I can't recall their names right now (I apologize for that), along with some very cool guests, made my stay absolutely amazing!

I can't finish this very personal review without saying that I owe a debt of gratitude to Chris for, unbeknownst to him, helping me in very meaningful ways.

Terrible business experience! Came to Ocean Beach looking at properties for my company The Rent Place LLc. and had to leave a bit early for Mexico because I needed updated passport and special documents to look at a home in Ensenada for my business. I left my bags stored at hostel not correctly but assumed it would be no big deal. When my check out date came I was unable to call due to lacking service. I got back about a week later, and spoke with a gentleman at the front desk who let me access my bag verify everything was there move things around and change clothes, left for breakfast. Upon returning, the girl at the front desk, presumably first shift, let me know my leaving early and leaving bags was a huge risk, and I will be trespassed from hostel and need to leave now. I had a busy day and stored my bags somewhere where my work laptop and clothes ended up missing or stolen. It's not that I care that I can't ever stay here again I just would never want anyone to go through that.

Staff it's not very hostel friendly, more like a hotel style organized hotel!! Used to be best hostel in SD but not anymore.

Terrible smell in the rooms, hygiene concerns; in a good location and a good overall experience, however

A fantastic hostel! Incredible staff, great people, very clean, and great services. They serve coffee and some food in the morning, offer boards and beach toys for rental, and have some very nice, comfortable common spaces. The rooms are very clean, beds are very comfortable, and are set up nicely to give you a private, cozy space even though you are in a room with 1-5 other people!

This was my first time staying at a hostel and it was truly an excellent experience.

Hey people I am from Istanbul and It's been a little over a year since I stayed here. Definitely perfect place to stay!! I stayed a full week in this beautiful hostel. I had a chance to use every utility in the spot. I took pictures and I preferred to use the ones without people and their faces. The hostel has back garden and front sitting area. There are 3-4 toilets which is more than enough for their capacity. There is a TV lounge which people watch movies or sport events. The kitchen is full of equipment if you wanna cook. There are a couple of full time cleaning personnel who made my stayed even better. Apart from regular room and check-out cleaning they work inside and outside during the day. It is very chill and peaceful in the back garden with people. I really enjoyed each night that I spent over there. Restaurants, bars, cafes and markets are all around the hostel, just pick which one you want. There was a reggae event in a bar which we all went from hostel. I also enjoyed being with the local band and community. Everything was beautiful in Samesun Ocean Beach!! Since the day I left this hostel I am dreaming about coming back!

I adored, no, I loved staying here. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the people staying here were magical, and the whole vibes of the place and town was beautiful. If you are looking for a good place to stay where you can be by yourself, or be as social as you want, this is the place for you. I'll forever be grateful for the experience here, and I hope to be back sometime in the near future. If you're questioning whether it's worth it to stay here, it definitely is. You will feel safe and welcomed here.

Plus, the free coffee/pancakes/waffles in the morning are a big plus :)

An astounding hostel. Clean, quiet, nice people, incredibly helpful staff. Great common area, very well located on ocean beach with reasonably regular buses into town. I stayed three nights at the start of my trip, and it was so good I stayed three more nights at the end. Thoroughly recommended!

Great location, clean facilities, friendly/helpful staff - I loved staying here! The shared rooms are itty bitty (hard for more than 1 person to be out of their beds at once) but that is pretty standard for hostels.

I can’t say enough about my experiences at this hostel. 10/10 across the board. Amazing clean and bright rooms, bathrooms, free breakfast, community spaces, friendly atmosphere, activities, and location couldn’t be more perfect. Staying at this hostel helped me find my new future home-ocean beach ????

Super ambiance ... Déco décalée à l’extérieur mais simple à l’intérieur ... Localisation parfaite ... J’y suis restée bien plus longtemps que prévu, et y suis même retournée ! Un de mes meilleurs souvenirs de ce voyage, les gens que j’ai rencontré dans cette auberge. Cours de surf (gratuits si je me souviens bien) dispensés par les « employés » qui sont en fait ... des voyageurs comme nous ! Chambres doubles privées disponibles,dortoirs plus ou moins grands, mixtes ou non ... Bref il y en a pour tout le monde et des activités sont proposés tous les jours/soirs. Et surtout deux pas du Pacifique ...
Attention c’est un peu cher pour une auberge de jeunesse, mais pas pour la Californie, qui reste hors de prix.. Et franchement ça vaut le coup !
