Auberge de jeunesse prĂšs de Petco Park Ă San Diego
Free breakfast is available daily. A computer station is on site and WiFi is free in public spaces. A library, a vending machine, and an arcade/game room are also featured at Lucky D's Hostel.
My attempt to check-in at 2:20 (instead of 3pm) in a room of 4 beds occupied by 2 people (aka 2 beds have to be available) scared me off a little considering how firm the No was and how little the person cared. But eventually, this place turned out to be great. Not too loud at night despire the bar downstairs (they provide earplugs in case you forgot yours). It's conveniently located, the kitchen is well equipped and the free breakfast was great.
It was ok for a night. You hear EVERYTHING so bring earplugs. The doors need changing. One hard pull and you get inside of every singel room. We had a private room with queensize bed. The bed was nice đ we had to share wc and shower. Both was super clean all the time so this was great. They have a kitchen, but did not use it. Was ok to stay here for the night but would not recomend staying here for solo female travelers. I saw no other girls around. I was with my mom so did not feel so uncomfortable. The area around was great though!! The guy at the reception was REALLY nice who let us check in about 2hours before since he saw that my mom was really tired. Appreciated it GREATLY!! đđ ps: there is no elevator here so if your staying at the last floor. Be prepared to go up many MANY stairs đ
The hostel was comfortable. The building is old but overall kept fine and has its charm. I didn't need to use the TV I didn't see the remote but I didn't ask. --The temperature was comfortable, there was A/C, not sure how would be heated in case of cold weather (heater?), or it may have been centralized. The kitchen, wi-fi, and laundry room were available. Coffee for 3$ at the reception was good and some pastries were available. The staff was attentive and provided me with a lamp. In the queen single room a folding table and a stool may help as well as a support for the luggage. It probably was the most comfortable bed, pillow and linens I have ever used. Parking was available through the hostel, so inquire with the staff. Restroom and showers were kept clean.
The best part of Lucky D is the location. You are just 3 short blocks aways from 5th Ave in the Gaslamp District. It is great place to roam and check the many restaurants and bars. The restaurants and bars here are more expensive, but it is a cool location all the same. Lucky D was also affordable. I selected a private room but with a shared bathroom. I was disappointed that there was no TV in the room, and it definitely appeared as if there should have been one because you saw what appeared to the wall hanger for the TV at one time. The internet access was great. While it did not have air conditioning, it was not bad since there was a ceiling fan. It needs to be updated and there are some simple things that would have made a better overall impression such as having a lamp shade on the lamp instead of just a light bulb. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean. For the price and location, I would stay again.
I loved this hostel. The front desk guys were very kind. The room was great, very organized, quiet and safe. The best location in the gaslamp district. I will come back. Thank you!
