The breakfast is solid similar to continental breakfast. The property has a stove and toaster oven. Lots of shopping and eateries near buy. The bus line is a block away. The staff is friendly and accommodative.

Best hostel in OB. Great service for the price and has all amenities you need. They are in the perfect location on Ocean Beach and have many food/shopping options in a walkable distance. My only complaint is that you never know what roommates you get. My first night was perfect and quiet but the second night- I was roomed with someone who stayed up late with the light on and a woman who kept coughing horribly. Coughing so much- I woke up multiple times. The breakfast is also not much of a breakfast other than oranges and a granola bar. It’s nice that it’s available tho :) thank you! The staff is very nice and the place is a vibe.
