30 March 2010 max would recommend this property

Liked: it was 2 blocks from the beach and it was in a prime spot in ocean beach. A party hostel by all means. Dont go if you want a quite peaceful hostel. It was loud at night and kids partying till 4am. Was not my favorite but they do give you a bottle of sparkling wine when you check in.

Liked: San Diego's Ocean Beach International Hostel is located in one of the cutest beach towns I've ever been too. Located next to fun bars and popular food, and great locals! I can see this place being a great stay in the summer, with a breeze from the ocean and all... but being that I stayed there at the end of December – getting to my room to find the window was open – the room was pretty much an icebox. The sheets were pretty dingy too. They were white sheets - a long, long time ago. The dorm room we stayed in was equipped with its own sink and shower, which was really nice, however, the faucet to the sink was tricky! The knobs went in all the wrong directions. The staff was mixed between very sweet and obnoxiously rude/dismissive characters. Breakfast was tasty and the chef was a pleasant riot :)

Customer review

27 April 2008

Liked: the people r very nice that stay there. but the rooms r small and dirty. the location is not very good . the bus is coming only once an hour to go downtown. the hostel is very near the ocean, so if u plan to make only a " beachvacation" it is nice. but i don't recommend to go san diego for young people. i went after san diego 2 days to la...that's much nicer there.
