"Fair stay for first hostel experience. Kept clean. Guest were quiet and respectful of rules. Liked the curtain that divided each room. Bathrooms easily accessible and free most of the time. Poor drainage of sinks and showers. My bed wasn’t that comfortable- had a dip in the center- might be time for new mattress. Earplug available as some guest snore throughout the night. For business trip Stay classy got the job done. rate 3.5/5. "

"Great location with just steps away from restaurants, nightlife, and enjoying Little Italy just in general. Parking is a bit small but surely timing it right and not using your car til you leave is super helpful as the parking is free. There is one very small elevator with two ways of access into the building. Overall a good spot to stay and would recommend to others who want something cheap but still feel pretty comfortable staying there."

"Prime location, comfortable bed, nice staff, huge TV. However, I seriously considered sleeping in the car after seeing that parking lot. It didn't seem safe to leave my car there, with all the scatchy characters wandering around. There might have been a homeless and junkie convention in town, or it just gotten so much worse since the last time I was in San Diego. At the end, good value for the money. Highly recommended if you don't plan to park there."
