This HI San Diego Downtown Hostel is an absolute gem! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the bustling downtown area and all the nearby shops, restaurants, and supermarkets. The dorm rooms are clean, well-organized, and surprisingly spacious for a hostel. I was especially impressed with the fully equipped kitchen—perfect for preparing meals on a budget and even sharing cooking adventures with fellow travelers. The staff are friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. Everything about this place feels welcoming and thoughtfully managed. If you're looking for a comfortable, social, and affordable stay in San Diego, this hostel is a top choice. Highly recommended!

Gaslamp Hostel
I'm giving this place a solid 5-star review! The hostel is clean, welcoming, and perfectly located for exploring downtown San Diego—super easy to get around by public transit. That said, I do need to mention something that concerned me during check-in: the front desk staff asked for my credit card, wrote down all the information by hand, and even removed the CVV protection sticker on the back of the card. It felt really risky and made me uneasy about potential fraud or misuse. While everything turned out fine, I’d strongly recommend the team reconsider this practice for guest safety and peace of mind.
PodShare San Diego
Perfect for a quick, budget-friendly visit to San Diego! The hostel is incredibly clean—every corner feels fresh and well-maintained, which says a lot about the staff’s dedication. Guests are respectful and considerate, creating a peaceful atmosphere where you can relax or focus on your own things without distractions. The team is friendly and always ready to help, making the stay feel welcoming and stress-free. I loved the vibe, the location, and the overall experience—definitely planning to come back if I ever return to San Diego. A fantastic choice for travelers who want comfort, cleanliness, and a great community feel without breaking the bank.
RK Hostel
I absolutely loved the welcoming vibe at RK Hostel in San Diego, especially the spacious community living area with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. It felt open and inviting, even though the TV wasn’t working—still, it was a great spot to relax or hang out with fellow travelers. I really appreciated the shared coffee station; my friend and I even brought over some extra supplies to make it more comfortable. Our room was surprisingly big, super clean, and the beds were neatly made with fresh linens and blankets—always a plus! The two small couches were incredibly cozy and stylish. The shower was an absolute highlight—huge and well-designed, with a round nozzle that sprayed water evenly across your body instead of concentrating in one spot. That made for a truly refreshing experience. One thing worth mentioning is that only one downstairs bathroom was functional, which could be inconvenient if someone using crutches, a wheelchair, or an elderly guest needed access. Waiting for the other person to finish could cause delays, and balance issues with holding bowls can be tough. A small bottle of hand sanitizer near the bathroom would have been a helpful addition—understanding the hygiene concerns around soap, but a quick disinfectant option would still be useful. Overall, this place offered comfort, charm, and great value. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting San Diego.
Urban Boutique Hotel
Staying in the heart of Little Italy made this hotel an ideal base for exploring the area. It’s just a short walk to restaurants, and the bus and trolley stops are conveniently close—perfect for getting around without a car. The room is compact but spotless, with essentials like a hairdryer and iron included. While room service wasn’t part of the package, it didn’t matter much since I was only here for a brief visit. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice for solo travelers looking for a quiet, clean, and well-located stay in San Diego. Great value and a cozy vibe—would definitely return if passing through again.

Staying at Pendry San Diego was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—right in the heart of downtown San Diego, yet close enough to the beach for a quick morning walk. Everything about the hotel worked flawlessly: the room was spacious and beautifully designed, the Wi-Fi was fast, the air conditioning ran smoothly, and the bathroom amenities were top-notch. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and efficient service—always ready to help without being intrusive. From check-in to check-out, the experience was seamless. It’s rare to find such a high level of comfort and attention to detail in a modern urban hotel. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting San Diego, especially those who value style, convenience, and quality.
The Westin San Diego Bayview
The Westin San Diego Bayview is an absolute gem! The front desk staff went above and beyond—when I realized I left my watch in the room after check-out, they immediately reissued my key card so I could retrieve it without any hassle. The room itself was brand new, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Location-wise, it’s perfect: just a short walk to the waterfront area with great views and plenty of scenic spots to explore. Santa Fe Depot is literally right around the corner, making train trips to Irvine super convenient. Being in downtown San Diego means getting around is easy—whether taking an Uber or hopping on the Trolley, everything is within reach. This hotel offers excellent value, top-notch service, and unbeatable convenience. I’ll definitely be back!

I loved how close it was to downtown attractions and public transit, making it super convenient to explore the city. The breakfast spread was impressive—fresh, diverse, and delicious, especially the local-style pancakes and freshly squeezed juice. The staff were warm, attentive, and always smiling, making me feel truly welcome. From the moment I arrived to the moment I checked out, every detail felt thoughtfully curated.

Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter
Staying at Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, with restaurants, bars, shopping, and live entertainment just steps away. I loved how easy it was to explore the city on foot, and the vibe of the area is so vibrant and fun. The room itself was spacious, stylish, and perfectly themed with that tropical Margaritaville flair—cozy, clean, and full of character. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a baby. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome from day one. It’s rare to find such a great mix of style, comfort, and convenience in one place.

The moment I walked in, I felt a sense of calm and space—perfect for some well-deserved 'me time' before diving back into the daily grind. The location is unbeatable: steps away from downtown energy, yet quiet enough to truly unwind. I highly recommend exploring the nearby Japanese Friendly Garden—it’s serene and beautifully designed.
