The property made me think of Europe or the Pacific Northwest-artsy, bohemian, clean and eclectic. The guy checking me was the only drawback, he seemed bothered by the fact he had to check me in. I had to ask questions just in order to find my room. Other than that, it was great and I would stay again.

It's a hostel. It has a funny smell but it's also an older building so that's somewhat expected. Check in was super easy and the staff was friendly. Some people don't clean up after themselves but that's not the staff's fault. Just keep it in mind when using the shower or restrooms. Overall it was a good experience. I came here for a conference and everything was walking distance. I'm originally from a big city so outside noise is actually comforting to me. That being said, night life is very much alive and well on the weekend here. If you are looking for something affordable to rest your head while exploring the city this is it.

2nd chance much better.
Alright this time I've gave it a 2nd chance and had much better experience. Was able to get a private room this time and I was in perfect spot by the shower room and toilet room. Plus was nice to check out amenities. Also kitchen still has its charm. Room was basic but perfect for if you need to crash on solo work or trip. The only negative was the street noise but can't complain much since I had a better room. In fact I hope to return in the future.

Online the picture of the private room had AC, ours didn’t. Only 4 person rooms must have AC. Area is extremely loud, being in the heart of the city. Restrooms were not very clean, urine on the ground. Overall, just not as shown online.

Homely Hostel
Compared to other hostels I have visted, this place was on par. The eclectic decor gave it a nice vibe and the staff was friendly. I wasn't in the mood for having a roomie, so I had a room to myself. The basics were covered & the worn in mattress sufficed. I wasn't traveling to stay at the hostel, so my needs were met. My only complaint, albeit a minor one, is the bathroom faucets. The ones on my floor had to be held down to allow water flow. Usually those types of faucets give you about 15 seconds of spray before they stop. But overall, you can't beat the location for the price. I was two blocks from the Gaslamp district & about four from the ballpark. And there were many restaurants and bars within 5 minutes on foot to choose from. I would definitely visit again if I visit SD solo again.
