The one great thing that stood out in my mind when walking into this hostel was a welcoming feeling. The staff are very friendly and have great insightful tips for a traveller on a budget. The hostel is funky and has quirky art on all the walls and most of all the rooms and bathrooms were always clean. The breakfasts... More

This hostel had a lot of great things, but also some real down points for me. I'll start with the good! Free breakfast - amazing, varied, well stocked, and tasty. Free dinner on a Tuesday, which we were there to enjoy. Friendly and helpful staff. Discounts on local attractions, we got a discount on zoo tickets. The location was really... More

This is a sunny, spacious hostel with loads of character and friendly, helpful staff. It's well located, clean as a whistle and has great facilities; a fantastic big kitchen and comfortable common areas. There are shared meals and pub crawls and other activities which are great for getting to know your fellow travellers... all in all, the perfect hostel!

Ive been to over a 100 different hostels in my life. All in the USA to include Hawaii. First impression I got was how well the Hostel was planned out. Common room separate from where people are sleeping. The kitchen is amazing. I had only planned to stay here a few days. But kept extending my stay, for many reasons.... More

Pros: - located in the heart of the Gaslamp district, great for restaurants, bars, shopping - cool artwork done by people who have passed through over the years, with some very insightful and thought provoking quotes along the stairway that have stayed with me. I felt like that's what made this hostel stand out amongst all the hostels I've stayed... More
