Great stay. I was traveling alone and the bedding space was adequate. Spent 2 nights, used their lockers as well. The showers and the restrooms were very clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Walking distance to little Italy, Gaslamp quarter, Petro park and to the MTS station on the Market station. 100% percent recommended for solo travelers.

A hostel where you have the privacy close to having your own room. Spent 2 nights and it was a nice stay. A little more than some of the hostels I saw, but I chose the privacy over saving a few bucks. Would stay again. Also got a free upgrade from the twin to a full bed when I checked in.

I had to park overnight on 16th street which was sketchy, but besides that, this was my first hostel experience and will be the Golden standard moving forward!
