This hostel scared me about the quality of hostels in the US, This may have been down to me and my friend not having much information about Ocean Beach to start with, but we were completely blind sided. Me and my friend stayed for 3 nights It was character building, The hostel is situated in a large Art Deco building... More

Pretty average hostel. Location was brilliant, stones throw from the beach and great restaurants and bars close by, free breakfast was lovely. Eat as much as you want and pretty tasty. No hot water whilst we were there which wasn't ideal but as we were only there for 2 nights we made do. The outdoor space out back was a... More

It should have been named: 'Ocean Beach International Hostile' It's a very hostile environment to stay at, even for a few hours.

My first experience staying in a hostel and it was great. Curtains on the beds, free internet, free linen and many organised events every night of the week. I was speaking to my room mates who have travelled around the globe and they said the it was one of the best that they've ever stayed at. Very close to the... More
