Hostel on 3rd Reviews

Be careful not to be cheated, the service attitude is very poor, the store staff treats customers very impatiently

I was refused entry into this hotel. I advised that I lost my wallet and offered a passport and my online proof of license not only did they refuse me entry and lock me out and told me I could sleep on the street. . They did not give my money back. This shows the care they have for thier customers. I would highly recommend going to hi hostel as they care.

It's disgusting and smells so bad and they didn't let us into the hotel

The room is nice, the air is good, and the service is okay

Youth Hotel, good location, close to the city, the lobby is on the first floor, the room, kitchen and bathroom are on the second floor, there is breakfast, you can also use the kitchen utensils yourself, there is a supermarket nearby, shopping is convenient.

Nice place; clean and hygienic. You can also use the internet if you arrive later.

The hostel had their reception hours incorrectly listed on the booking sites, which does happen of course, I understand it can be hard to update sometimes. However, this made me book thinking I would get to stay there but reception was closed. The hostel then informed me that they would STILL CHARGE me for the stay after not letting me stay there due to the hour, so i ended up paying double because I had to also book another hostel. Dont let their shady practices get you too; consider choosing another hostel instead like I ended up additionally having to do!

Don’t let the white girls having fun in the pictures fool you! This hostel is NOT that kind of environment. Do you wonder why it’s $25 a night? You get what you pay for! If you like bed bugs, this is the place for you! If you like staying in a hostel FULL of homeless people, this is the place for you! If you like surrounding yourself with humans that smoke crack, this is the hostel for you! If you like watching a human licking his dirty underwear for 30 minutes as I did (see pic), definitely stay here! Do you like sleeping on mattresses with padding? Then this is NOT the place for you! Here, you will sleep on nasty mattresses, with zero padding and literal coils!!! You sleep on coils!!!! Do you like to get a good nights rest, you won’t get that here! It’s LOUD with partiers and those who smoke crack outside. If you like taking showers in clean bathrooms, you won’t find that here either! If you are not happy with the quality of the hostel, made the mistake of paying for two weeks in advance, don’t expect a refund. DO expect your bank to have to get it back for you. DO expect the owner to not give you a receipt of a refund amount. And definitely don’t expect him to care about the nastiness of his hostel, he doesn’t! What you will receive here is bed bug bites all over you, you will take bed bugs home in your belongings, lack of sleep, nastiness all around you, and an owner who gives no effs! Sincerely, Mandi Stillwell

Bittersweet to leave this place after 9 weeks of friendhips made, the most accommodating and kind owner James and Nancy along with their staff Charles, Tim, Aerial, Andrew, Chris and Adam. I will miss y'all. This hostel has a magnet, down to earth, caring, most amicable which I have not found or experienced in any other hostel or hotel (trust me, I have been to so many). I will also miss Jame's delicious pastries, cakes and pancakes every morning with coffee without fail, the chill and quiet lobby and patio where I could focus on my work, excellent rates that are honest and forthcoming. Most of all, I will miss its location for everyone's safety, right in the middle of Gaslamp, you can't go better than that. Love you all 💕

Decided to cancel my 2 night stay in Mid-April because of the numerous bad reviews on multiple sites online. That was a week ago, they have yet to respond at all despite multiple cancelation requests. I have never had a hostel take longer than a business day to respond to a cancelation. If they charge me it's going to be the easiest chargeback in history. Not only will my money get clawed back but their card processor will hit them with a 25 to 50$ chargeback fee so I don't get what they are trying to accomplish right now by ignoring me. They will lose money on this transaction by the time I'm done with them, not make it. Really sketchy

My buddy and I are J1 Work and Travel students travelling the US this August. We spent 2 months in Boston working before heading to the East coast. We picked this place because it was cheap and fell within our budget. Big mistake. Our room, which had one bunk bed and one fan, was disgustingly hot. I got virtually no sleep on the first night. The next day I asked for a second fan. This was dropped up to the room some hours later. Ironically, both fans were so ineffective what they actually did was spread the heat around the room more. On top of all this the shower temperatures ranged from warm to hot, so a cold shower in the morning could not save us. Halfway through our stay we decided enough was enough, checked out, and made our way to a motel with air conditioning. I would advise anyone who is about to book this place to really question what an extra few bucks in a place with air conditioning would mean to you.
