ITH San Diego Beach Bungalow Surf Hostel

Super nice ocean view for currently about $35 a night! Really nice staff and guests. I was freaking out the whole time and nobody said a single thing. Also, they have a lot of activities and bbqs. Im quite concerned about the owner's business skills. J/k

I was just not impressed with this ITH location. I've been to a couple of their other properties and was definitely disappointed with this one. The front desk girl who works the early shift was so unfriendly. The kitchen is tiny. Parking is a bit tough if you don't want to pay the $20 nightly parking rate. The bathroom is the room was so small and smelled. Unfortunately I won't be returning to this particular location.

The area is great. Although the bunk beds aren’t in the right spots becuase of the ladders. It could definitely be remodeled. Super old and a lot of rusty spots.

This is a hostel, so if you want 4 stars go somewhere else. The property could use quite a bit of TLC, but the linens and rooms were clean. The staff were awesome and the overall vibe of the hostel was exactly what I hoped and more. The staff do fun nights and simple meals. Overall I really enjoyed my stay.

They do not provide parking

It’s a great beach hostel with the comfort room having all the necessary, great facilities on the site, great vibe and a very sweet team. If you like to party and communicate, there’ll be numerous options for you. Though, if you are looking for a quite stay, it is as well for you

The beach is amazing location is amazing building is super old and and falling apart. a dog lives on the property so be careful where you step not cool! Pee and poop the guests we're amazing. made some good friends employees we cool

It was the best stay if ever experienced, the staff was so friendly and willing to help, the views and location are unmatched, and the equipment that is free to use, along side the free breakfast are awesome perks!

Loved staying here at ITH Beach Bungalow Surf Hostel! Right on the beach, fun activities planned throughout the day, breakfast included, friendly staff-I would highly recommend if you’re looking to save a little money & meet new people in a fun community based environment.

Travelers who value a good night’s sleep and cleanliness might want to choose a different hostel. The location on the beach is great but you’re roughing it here, it’s not comfortable, loud music, people talking late into the night and early morning, maybe before surfing. Also, not enough bathrooms. Too many people are sharing just two bathrooms, one in their room and one other in the common area. And cleanliness is an issue. Bathrooms are not cleaned often enough because they were not clean during my one night stay. And a lack of toilet paper in the bathrooms. Overall, this hostel is a base for surfing, sleep a little and catch a wave!

Private room was a little dirty. Hair in shower. Great location and staff though.

The Employees were friendly we didn’t expect a lot for the price on the beach but we did expect the room we rented. This was not the deluxe private room in the pictures. Bed was comfortable but the room was in the worst shape I’ve ever stayed at. Been with my wife over 30 years and never had her stay in a room this bad. But surprisingly she was ok with it. The place has an amazing vibe lots of history and it’s unique. I would just like the room we rented on the pictures. Someone needs to spend a couple of days caulking and painting. We couldn’t touch the bathroom sink or it would fall. It’s anoint an inch from the wall. The ceiling has 3 types of texture or not at all. They have breakfast as it says but you have to cook your own. They provide eggs and pancake mix. No creamer or sugar for the coffee. It is what you make of it. Like I said good vibe, friendly people but at least give me the room I saw on the Hotels.com. We checked out and someone threw up all over our car looked like top ramen dried up. Not the Hotels fault though. Just remember looks and pictures are extremely deceiving.

The hostel has a great enviroment and atmosphere, but the private room was very small, a little dirty, the fan was disgusting and there was mold in the bathroom. The brazilian host that greeted us was super nice and kind!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Stephanie, the manager, helped me with everything i needed, she’s a super sweet person. The room was really nice, the bed was super comfortable. The attention to detail in the decor and cleanliness was evident, and it really made a difference in my overall experience. The location was perfect, close to everything, making it easy to explore the area. I especially appreciated the beautiful view, taking breakfast in front of the sea. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Truly a fantastic place with wonderful service!

It was rarely cleaned. Guests and hosts were plastered drunk and loud till very lat at night (3am ish) most of the property is exposed to the elements, which makes the dorms and commons smell like mildew & mold. Ceiling leaked water on a bunk. Last night while I was sleeping someone from the out side was trying to get in and pick a fight. Ended up breaking part of the back patio. I could hear it happen while laying in my bunk. Did not feel safe.

A little messy

Very affordable. Great location. Unfortunately, despite the 10pm lights out/quiet time, there were some who would talk all night, put the lights on etc. I got no sleep and had to find another place to stay. But I loved the location. Plenty to do and see. Enjoy… if you can!

If you like meeting new people - this is the place to be. Memories for life. If you are a sensitive sleeper, look somewhere else. I loved this place and wish i could stay longer but the hostel only allow you to stay for a maximum of 14 days. You build friendships so fast

Ocean view couldnt be better Why i picked this Not normally a hostel woman

In poor condition. Few doors or windows made it quite uncomfortable on mornings of 40 degrees. They don't seem to like older guests.

Everyone was so cool and welcoming

The staff was super welcoming and friendly. It was comfortable and perfect location. If you’re looking for a 5 star resort probably don’t book here, but if you’re down for a new experience go for it!

Staff was kind an informative

Loved the location! Was able to take a nearby bus and train to San Diego ComicCon and back. Very convenient.

Great location. Right on the beach and affordable.
