"If you want to stay out late and party, this hostel is ideal—Lucky D's hosts nightly events and pub crawls and is located in the central Gaslamp district near plenty of bars and restaurants. It's one of the cheapest options, with lockers in every room, comfy mattresses despite squeaky, curtainless bunks, spacious colorful common areas, laundry facilities, and bikes for rent, so it's easy to socialize and have fun on a budget." - Matthew Kepnes
