The 5 Best Hostels in San Diego (Updated 2025)
"I'm a big fan of HI hostels and this downtown location is one of the most affordable and consistently top-ranked hostels in town. It offers free breakfast, organizes lots of events and tours, and has a large kitchen for cooking your own food. The bunks are basic but comfy (they lack privacy curtains), and the common room includes video games and a pool table, creating a social atmosphere." - Matthew Kepnes
