International Travelers House Hostel Downtown San Diego

Superb

Bad

Disliked: I reserved and paid for the room that day and was told that they were going to put my name on the bed I'll call that 2:45 p.m. just to verify make sure everything is good I was told that by Sanji and when I get there then this transgender person so my bad and act like it was no big deal because it was Comic-Con when actually by the hotel standards if I reserved and paid for the room there's no way that should have happened and she was very rude didn't want to help me straighten out the situations she didn't even go out her way to try to help me or do anything to conversate me I had to really lose my head and then some other worker person help me to straighten that situation out so I can get my money back and go somewhere else she would not do that at all if she would have done that then we had a problem she was so busy trying to act like it was nothing and didn't want to help me at all and and that pissed me off and this is why I give it a bad because the customer that reserve the room and pay for the room always come first I have I even been 24 hours I had just reserved the room a couple hours ago and paid for it and she already sold my bed and she still was holding other people's room that haven't even showed up and she didn't sell any room but she sold my room unbelievable she should be fired

About what you'd expect

Liked: The price was good compared to the options in San Diego. The staff all seemed friendly and helpful. You can rent a towel for cheap. Lots of toilets and one large private bathroom.

A nice hostel at a...

Liked: A nice and friendly hostel next to a vibrant neighborhood Little Italy.The room was comfortable, shared bathroom next to it. Wifi worked well. Breakfast was amazing: eggs, pancakes, syrup, butter, oats, bread, coffee, fruit, jam were free, we could prepare our own breakfast. Kitchen was well equipped and there was a fridge in the room. Lockers for valuables were available (bring your own padlock) and towels were provided for the room.There is even a game room in the hostel with billiard etc :)Staff were polite and always helpful. We could leave luggage before check-in time.
Disliked: We stayed in the annex not the main building so we had to walk to the main building for breakfast every morning but it was not a problem.Shower in the bathroom next to our room was under repair, only toilet and washbasin was available upstairs, for showers we had to go downstairs.

sorry to be a bummer....

Liked: i liked the breakfast and the co-op-y sort of feel. i also liked the feel of the room, it was just right.
Disliked: i’m going to be honest, i think the health department should step in of the management is not addressing the black mold in the shower rooms. it shouldn’t be that you pay money to stay at a reputable establishment and find toxic black mold everywhere, it for a night or two it’s probably OK … however, the staff is living there, right? so they’re the ones who are most at risk.
