ITH Nomad Haus Hostel - Downtown San Diego Little Italy

This place is a steal for the price they offer! Compared to hotels nearby for upwards of $215 for a room this place was super affordable and only $99 for my boyfriend and i to have our own private room with a double bed. the staff was so friendly and welcoming and gave us great service and help with any questions we had upon arrival. i do agree with the other reviews that the walls are thin, however, they supply earplugs in the main office for free so at least they’re aware! we stayed in the annex house with public showers and public living spaces and i have to say everything was very clean and tidy and i was very impressed! with the location being walking distance from amazing downtown eats and little italy right around the corner this place you just have to stop by and stay!!

This is a cozy place to land for anyone outside of San Diego, especially when you’re on a budget. I came from North Carolina and was under the impression the hostel was only for international travelers, but American travelers are definitely welcome! People do not tend to stay for long here, nevertheless it is fun to connect with international people and hang out in the kitchen and common areas. I am usually the biggest introvert but staying here made me enjoy being around people. I wish I had more time to spend with the people I met here as well as staff, who were so accommodating and welcoming, and are working round the clock to keep the place stocked and clean. There are privacy curtains on the beds in the shared rooms and I never felt uncomfortable sharing with the other residents, just use your common sense and pick up after yourself. I had a lovely week long stay, and now I can say that I have a bunch of new friends from several different continents, which I wouldn’t have at a regular hotel. I would definitely book with ITH again.

Was traveling to CA for college and came across this phenomenal Hostel. Well priced, spacious, and a really cool boat theme. They have a great assortment of activities planned for every day off the week and did I mention the pancake breakfast bar? I will be staying here again in the future!

We never stayed at a hostel before and decided to try it per the cost and awesome location! We were pleased with the stay and the bed was so comfortable for the private room. It was also right next to the shared bathroom so that was nice! Overall, a great stay for budget minds!

I booked a weekene at this hostel while getting away from a really bad roommate situation. I was initially pretty shy, but there were many welcoming people that made me feel very safe and welcome. Often the hostel is a place where many lost people find each other. Or maybe you just want a great budget place to stay while you're travelling. Either way, I recommend this place highly.

My daughter found this incredible hostel for our Mother/daughter time in San Diego. We are global travelers, mostly staying in hostels in Australia, America, South America, Australia and New Zealand.||We were treated like royalty even though we were the oldest as residents. My daughter is 52. I am 78. Because of a knee injury, I was using a wheel chair. Staff changed our room to the least steps and closest to the bathroom, which I highly appreciated.|| The kitchen and bathroom areas were always clean, clean rugs. Endless activities (Bar B Q, free transport to farmers' markets, the beach) were constantly offered but my daughter and I had our trip pre-planned. ||Staff checked with us daily to make sure our needs were being met. ||The Little Italy area is also a thriving area of San Diego. Incredible restaurants and farmers' markets in walking distance.

Really enjoyed my time here. The hostel has a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere. Social enough to meet people, but not loud or chaotic. The space is clean, comfortable, and has everything you need without any unnecessary fuss. Antonella was super helpful and kind, always around if you had a question or needed anything, but also gave everyone space to do their thing. She clearly cares about the place and it shows. Overall, it was a smooth, no stress stay - one of those hostels where you feel at ease right away. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area again.

My mom and I came down to San Diego for a mother daughter trip recently. She had a knee injury and required a wheelchair unfortunately, for our trip. ||We were originally supposed to be in a second floor room with air con which would have been hard for her to access. The manager Santi and another employee Steve took time moving the aircon unit to a downstairs room where she Wouid have easier access.||Both arriving and leaving helpful employees helped us with our bags up and down the front stairs.||We stayed in the annex with private rooms and loved the overall vibe of guests and employees. The kitchen and living room were cozy.||The bathroom and kitchen were cleaned every day and kept spotless.||Anytime we had questions or needs the staff were amazingly helpful. ||There’s also a WhatsApp group for the whole hostel which announces weekly BBQs, outings, and billiards matches.||Lastly- the location was super close to downtown, tons of restaurants, the train station, restaurants in Little Italy, and Balboa Park (so many fun events there!). It’s a block for the legendary Saturday Litfle Italy farmers market.||Great hostel for singles, couples, and family like us. ||Big shout out to the staff including manager Santi and all the hardworking staff we met: Steve, Priscilla, Adrianna, Ceyla, Kimberly, and Vito. 👏
