Would recommend if you're looking for a downtown SD hostel. Everything was clean, the kitchen was spacious and well provisioned.

I have stayed here before. This was my first time to book a private room. It was wonderful. Lots of space and a private bathroom. What I love about this hostel is the beautiful interior design, and it is located in the very center of downtown. So many restaurants and bars nearby! The only downside about that is that it is noisy. The bar across the street played music until 2am, and the garbage trucks came at 5am! Still, I think it's worth it for this amazing hostel.
