AI Summary
Guests lauded the friendly staff, well-equipped amenities, and clean facilities. The non-touristy location near the beach and peaceful surroundings were also highly appreciated.

These scammers charged my cc for a stay weeks before my actual planned trip. I had to cancel. The booking was fully refundable but they charged my card( the deposit ) as if i stayed there when i wasnt even in town and REFUSED TO RETURN THE MONEY when the fully refundable booking was cancelled had to get cc involved. Stay away from these scammers and watch your cc if you already booked!

The location of this hostel could not be better, The staff are very friendly and always available. Everything is clean and there is is breakfast, a full kitchen to use. This place is great. Parking can be tough if you drive here.

I thought that every thing was superbly managed. I was very happy with the bed, the facilities, only thing is, no real free parking. Each bunk has a curtain, and they have quiet hours. You need to use ear plugs, because of the other guests will snore. But they are very attentive and staying at a hostel you can talk to the other guests easily.

Friendly staff, lively area, clean facilities, comfy beds & lots of food options around the area. Just a heads up parking is challenging.

Little piece of heaven!!
First hostel turning age 60 soon!! Loved it! Great space! The only problem was that a Bay Arean who was exiled with her grandkids in San Diego Cty from 2016-24, left in 2024 and is now back for 3-4 weeks and then will head back home to the Bay was not able to continue staying due to ID with SD county address. Total shame and exclusionary. I get that it’s an industry standard but it would have been great to continue on! Great kitchen!! Great amenities! Staff was great! Recommend!!!
