I had to park overnight on 16th street which was sketchy, but besides that, this was my first hostel experience and will be the Golden standard moving forward!

Had a great time at stay classy hostel! great price for what it offers. The whole building is kept really clean and the staff are easygoing. The common area offered some activities as well as seating for meals. The kitchen is pretty small, however, since guests run on their own schedule congestion is not typically an issue. The building is located only a couple blocks away from a major transportation system as well as downtown San Diego which makes staying there with no vehicle perfectly comfortable.

Very classy adult only hostel across the street from so much! Albertsons, CVS, pizza, sushi, a nail salon, a coffee shop. Walking distance to downtown/ train station, the Convention center, the library, the Padres stadium. The place included self locking lockers, two towels, coffee, cold and hot filtered water. It had great community areas for games, eating and conversation. Washer and dryers were located in the building. Overall very friendly respectful safe vibe from the locals and travelers.

Easy going, there’s a grocery store across the street, staff is nice, friendly and clean. My first time in a hostel so not familiar with listening when people next room is snoring or packing while I was trying to sleep so …. You might need earplugs.
