Daily breakfast and coffee was a nice touch. Good area for cooking if you chose to. A bit noisy with nearby bars and because our room was near kitchen but they offer ear plugs. Check in staff were lovely. Steps to the beach and live music. Hostel itself is spacious with room outside to sit. We got a private room and only thing was the bathroom is set on a motion detector so the light kept going off while showering and with no Windows you couldn’t see so only suggestion would be a clear shower curtain that maybe would pick up on a sensor. Overall good stay. We enjoyed it!

We stayed in a private room. It was clean and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised to find a small heater, portable air conditioner and a fan. Common areas are fantastic! Grocery store across the street. Hated to leave!

It’s the cheapest room in Ocean Beach. The room is cozy with cute decor. They leave a pair of water bottles and some old mints, lol. Lots of young people hanging about. We are old so we always book the private rooms. Nice place for a night or two just to hang out in OB.

Staff was amazing. The place was lovely outside out quiet hours and nestled in between shops and restaurants. Beautiful location. Wednesdays market was set up right it front. Parking is a little hard to come by but do able. Read the signs before parking.

Would recommend a stay here. My husband and I stayed in a queen room with private bath. It is noisy but we went there knowing that would be and just turned on the provided fan. Very clean room and cooled nicely with central air.
