I check in on last night tuesday and check out today . In our room AC is not working. That's was terrible. It's getting worse while we sleeping . I lived on upstairs on bunk bed so that's make me dizzy & sweating . Even though the receptionist girl is good but the room was terrible .

With Santi, the manager of this cool Little Italy hostel!

I ended up in this hostel by 'reject' of a friend I was supposed to stay at (last minute change of plans) and this ended up being a very cool experience for me, meeting diverse people that I won't probably have the opportunity to meet and spend a night sleeping on the cheap side in the heart of Little Italy. Needless to say that was a super plus to wake up to the Saturday farmers market full of life. At the check-in was greeted by Santi, the manager of the hostel, who hails from Chile and has extensive work experience in the SF area. We exchange a good conversation about differences of living in the Bay Area vs San Diego and he showed me the ladies shared room, painted with bright colors, simple and functional. I found the place charming, I passed by that building so many times before when I lived in SD, so my experience now as tourist in one of those charming houses was peculiar to me at this point in life. Even though I had been in hundreds of hostels especially in Europe...I did that mostly when I was young, so I was reluctant how a woman my age will be 'accepted' among a group of youngsters 420-friendly (if you are allergic or cannot stand the smell, not your place, as everyone seems to be smoking there. Not my thing but I did not mind). Every one was super warm to me and I actually saw a couple in their mid 60s, a fun Welsh that sells balloons in Balboa Park (he made a cool one for me!) in his late 50s and other couple in their 30s...so not all 'college kids in spring break' kind of image. Some of the guests also were voluntaries in some sort of program where they travel through various hostels and help running the place, cleaning, making beds, cooking...for free accommodation. The bathroom was never busy, and the common areas were pretty cool, especially the kitchen area with coffee, pancakes, omelets, etc included for breakfast. I felt safe and warmly welcomed and I will definitively go back again.

First time in San Diego and I booked this super well located spot in town, amenities included are wifi and pancake breakfast everyday also you can cook yourself whatever you want. It is located within a10 min drive from the airport or 5 from Car rentals. The area is pretty safe to walk at night and/or leave your car. If you walk south of the hostel you will find plenty of restaurants and a nice plaza surrounded by ice cream and coffee shops. Parking was a little confusing I never understood quite well the zones, and the brunette lady at the desk didn't knew much, but right outside the hostel you can park just read the signs for the days the city sweeps the street (Wednesday - Thursday). They are accurate on their times so I had my room at 4pm, I asked to have it earlier but they were still working on it. No worries you can still drop your luggage, use the restroom and start touring. I asked for a whole room instead of sharing it in a bunk bed and it was a big room (23), great firm memory foam bed. I was given a couple of card keys for me and my wife so I felt comfortable and safe about my things. However this room doesn't have any fans at all not a ceiling one or a standing one and it gets super hot although I saw one at the shared room behind us. Staff is friendly, the blonde lady is nice and looking after your needs but it was weird at a point knowing who works there and who doesn't, young guys and girls were behind the desk sometimes. All restrooms are shared but everything was spotless but I would say that towels was an issue since the only shower upstairs during the whole week I stayed and one day they ran out of clean towels the only answer the brunette lady said was oh we need to wash them so that day I dried myself with the clothes I wore. My suggestion is grab one and stick to that the whole stay or probably some more rules since I saw towels at different rooms and not in the dirty towel container. Overall this hostel is a good and economic spot but we didn't have a great experience since the other guests t there gathered upstairs at night on our first day to talk loud about their plans till 1 am I asked them to cut it off, didn't help, I had to message the hostel through booking.com since it was the fastest way and she asked them to take their talk to the living room or somewhere downstairs. Similar thing happened the third day when some guys started playing beer pong on the patio, shouting and being loud, and our room (23) is literally above, making it impossible to sleep adding that you can't close the window because of the heat. Anyway, after asking again for help they said the policy is to be quiet after midnight!!! So think about preparing for a trip or do snorkel the following day but sleeping early is not an option since some guys won't shut up because they are allowed. I've been at other hostels and there are many rules posted everywhere and staff asking you to follow those, so I can say that is great location, good place, not so good management, no logic rules, no thinking about anyone but their $$$.

Mouse traps in multiple rooms of the house
Joanne J.

We booked the whole house on Front St this past weekend. By far my worst experience as a traveler, we started off with the host being unresponsive about check-in instructions on the VRBO app. I messaged the host 3 days before our check-in to inquire about instructions and I did not hear back from him until I called the number. Once I called the number, they provided instructions over the phone but when I requested them to provide check-in instructions on the app, they stated they didn't know what app I was referring to. When we first arrived, the house smelled like Urine, there were huge urine stains in the front stairs. As we went inside the home there was a hole on the door, seemed like they removed the doorknob and just left the hole. This is not what was advertised in the pictures. When we asked about the whole getting sealed one of the hosts representatives gave us attitude and said well, we have cameras. To which we responded, we don't care about your cameras we care for our safety. She angrily left to get someone to try to fix the hole. The house was not cleaned at all, there were mouse traps in multiple areas of the home. Throughout the whole home there were a lot of spider webs, kitchen and kitchen utensils were filthy. The house was advertised as fully airconditioned which wasn't the case, there were only air conditioners in certain rooms. The kitchen table and all the surface areas were sticky to the point you where you would set your arms on the table, and they would get stuck. The pictures did not match what we were greeted with. There were multiple windows that were either broken, wouldn't close (allowing bugs), or missing entirely. There was one window (hole) that was patched with 2"x4"s and chicken wire. All in all, I would not recommend this location to anyone.

stains on the sheets
Jas N.

This place definitely looks nicer in the pictures, which I usually wouldn't really mind. I'm in my 20s and play in a band and have stayed weird places, but because it's COVID I was more apprehensive. Staff + guests didn't wear masks and the community areas were pretty small so not really any space to distance. We stayed in a private room though, all gucci. The room was only $60 in the heart of Little Italy, so I couldn't complain too much. The staff and all the guests were also super friendly and didn't make me feel unsafe or unwelcome. I'd definitely come back outside of COVID, but if you're looking for a safe place to travel at this time you may wanna go to a hotel. We had a mini fridge and were right by the shared bathroom, which was clean and never really busy. The one thing is that our sheets had stains and the bed/furniture was really shabby and old. I remedied this by drinking until I didn't care where I was resting my head lol parking on street is easy if you just follow the signs

The patio were I've been smoking very stressed, based on a travel principal has completely not been honored.
Marquette C.

Just curious to know, how I can file a complaint & compensation for items ( not just left around randomly), but that we're taken from the tenant I was staying in while taking a nap before work.? I brought this matter to the attention of the so-called boarding staff at the ITH & was told I so-called signed a voucher excusing theif within the property?? Basically I was treated like I was wrong! That's completely false. The only thing I signed upon arriving was for my visa. I'm trying my best to refrain from leaving a side-ways review of this place completely over looking the bad in this place and utilizing the positive. But the GO-HAPPY-PARTY-STAFF circle at the hostel did nothing, to inforce the policies of this place, nor even question the so called housekeeping/party staff that run the hostel. (Its was evident who took my belongings; either the housekeeper, who may have took it thinking the last person who slept there left it behind or the other transient who took a shower & thought the same, before he left. Thinking hey I came up! Because there's only 2 outlets in the room both ackwardly by bunks that port the outlet).This is really upsetting for me, I invested a bit of time & money into this place only to be disappointed by staff that seem to stick up for there crush-partner-party-friends. Unfortunately I still owe T-Mobile $96.98 on the stolen property that was taken out the room, that can only be entered by code. If there is no reincompensation push forth in this matter I will take the next step civil-wise. I look towards a rapid response. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. My best regards to the ITH ADVENTURE/ ITH DO-WHATEVER HOSTEL M.

Only complaint is that they don't have a heater on in the hallways so it's freezing. Also it's not very soundproof so it's very loud being so close to the gas lamp quarter.

Dear Management Team, I am writing to formally bring to your attention several recurring issues regarding the facilities and service at Hostel on 3rd. While the hostel's central location in the Gaslamp Quarter is a significant asset, several operational and maintenance factors are currently detracting from the guest experience and falling short of industry expectations for budget accommodations. Based on recent observations and consistent guest feedback, I would like to highlight the following areas of concern: Sanitary and Cleanliness Standards: There have been frequent reports regarding the cleanliness of the shared dormitories and bathrooms. Specific concerns include persistent unpleasant odors (notably in common areas), unwashed linens upon check-in, and a lack of consistent deep-cleaning in the communal restrooms. Facility Maintenance and Climate Control: The lack of air conditioning is a primary concern for travelers during warmer months. Furthermore, the absence of an elevator in a historic multi-story building creates significant accessibility challenges for guests with heavy luggage or mobility limitations. Transparency of Fees: There is notable dissatisfaction regarding the $20 surcharge for credit card payments and the strict policy surrounding the $20 cash deposit. Guests have reported that these fees feel punitive, particularly when the check-out process is not clearly communicated, leading to the potential loss of deposits. Staff Professionalism and Security: While some staff members are highly regarded, there are consistent reports of unwelcoming or impatient service during check-in and check-out. Additionally, some guests have expressed concerns regarding the general feeling of safety within the building, suggesting a need for more robust security presence or modernized access controls. As a prominent fixture in San Diego's hostel community, Hostel on 3rd has the potential to provide a premier experience for budget travelers. Addressing these issues--specifically regarding sanitation and fee transparency--would significantly improve the property's reputation on platforms like Hostel world and Expedia. I trust that you will take this feedback into account as you look to improve your operations. I look forward to seeing these improvements implemented for the benefit of future guests. Sincerely,

After staying downtown all weekend, I wanted a more quiet and calm spot for my last night in SD. I booked through Priceline and prepaid my stay for the night at $41 in an all female 6-bed dorm. Mark greeted me upon my arrival early Sunday evening. He was kind, professional and informative. We actually are both from the same home state, coincidentally. After checking me in, he gave me a tour. . The place is huge and very clean. Very much donned in a surfer bohemian aesthetic. They have surfboards for rent, but extra towels, blankets and yoga mats are free to use at will. There's a tv room that leads to the courtyard/lounge and kitchen areas. Plenty of seating either on small tables, benches or the patio couches. There's also a hammock, a front porch with swing chairs, a bar, & vending machines. A couple of clear door fridges are in the lounge area and duplicate in the kitchen. There are top left shelves designated to abandoned foods that are up for grabs. The kitchen is like an island surrounded by the lounge, courtyard and downstairs dorm hall. This arrangement allows the kitchen to remain open 24 hours as the dorm hall side is closed off with a sliding door. Most hostels close their kitchen at night to not disturb other guests, but this is most convenient. They also offer free tea accesible 24 hours and free breakfast from 7am-9am. . There are several single occupancy restrooms and two communal ones designated for men and women. My room was tight quarters, but overall functional. There's a nook with an overhead light next to the bed and adjacent to an outlet. The room has a big window which my fellow roomies did the right thing and opened it wide. The room also has a mirror vanity and sink which was helpful if I didn't want to go out to the hall to use the restroom. The sheets were clean, smelled phreshly washed and the blanket was thick and warm. . It's also not far from downtown. I commuted there via the trolley and the bus which took about 45 minutes. You can cheat the system and take an Uber part of the way to or from Old Town (the bus leg of the trip). I would definitely stay here again and hope to have more time in Ocean Beach. There are many restaurants, cafes and shops nearby and literally steps from the water. If you need quality accommodations, in a great location on a budget, Samesun will get the job done! . Sidenote: There are only stairs inside and outside of the building.

Brought back memories of living at the dorms in a nice way. The room itself was basic with two bunk beds. There are outlets accessible for top bunk people and lockers to lock up your valuables. As you'd expect with sharing a room with strangers, there were some slightly unpleasant moments. My first room's door wouldn't open. The front desk tried for about 10 min and the sleeping resident was pretty annoyed having to wake up and open the door. In my second room, multiple people were snoring (myself included possibly). If you can't handle stuff like this, you should look for other options. My experience was pleasant. It's definitely not a luxury hotel, but if you're willing to compromise, it's a great way to save money traveling.

I am so happy I found this place via AARP! Located in the heart of the Gaslamp District, I had never heard of this hotel prior to searching. Upon checking in, the desk clerk was very friendly, efficient, and answered any questions that I had. As for the room, he put us up on the top (4th) floor. Room is the perfect size for two people. Very clean, warm, inviting, and has some really cute and convenient amenities such as a pineapple themed USB quad port at the desk, along with a Keurig machine (had I known that I'd have brought my own Starbucks K-cups)! The bed was nice and comfy with lots of soft but supportive pillows and two separate comforter blankets so you're not fighting for covers if you are sharing the bed with someone or your significant other. Bathroom is very modern and clean. A hairdryer is hanging in the bathroom as well. The only item missing was an iron and an ironing board; however, you can request that at the front desk. If you are looking for a hotel with a gym, laundry facilities on site, and a full breakfast buffet or continental breakfast, then this place is not for you; however, if those things don't matter to you {I typically look for those types of hotels during a longer stay) then this hotel is all you need. You also get other unexpected creature comforts such as Starbucks coffee in the lounge along with 4 different blends of water as well as these cute pineapple cookies in the afternoon. Based in Seattle, WA, I am so happy I found this chain as I will be on the lookout and consider staying in other cities. Parking is available in a garage connected to the hotel next door for a fee. Also, bikes are available in the lobby for getting around (not sure if gratis or for a fee). I definitely recommend staying here! One small recommendation for the hotel: provide rooms with a small microwave and mini fridge to reheat leftovers. It all worked out as I gave a homeless guy mine.

I mean, even…read morethe name felt a little unserious to me and made me question how legit these accommodations would be. I've stayed in Gaslamp before, so my hope was that at a minimum this would be a safe and comfortable spot to rest my head. Honestly, they totally met my expectations and then some (not a lot, mind you, but some). The staff were super friendly, even offering my companion and I flowers for Women's History Month and the lobby amenities included a water station and complementary cookies (pineapple shaped, of course). The rooms weren't super spacious but it was enough for a night and they were clean and safe, which is the most important part. Note: there is no parking attached to the hotel! Your best bet is a public lot called Park it on Market about a block away. It's $21 to park overnight and you can book in advance (which I highly recommend because it can sell out).
