    Parking could be challenging. Besides, as a loyal customer to this hostel, I start to feel the facility starts to wear out.

    A good value place to stay. I have been staying at this place in the past few years.

    Locker 9 in suite 204 didn’t work to lock. I didn’t report it because I was in a rush & didn’t really have any valuables things to lock away. Otherwise, everything was great!

    Clean, beds are comfortable, staff is friendly

    The parking was a little bit hard for us. We still could find a place to park but if you wanna park close to the property it will take you time. And you have to pay for parking. But in general everything was good!

    The hostel is very clean! The stuff is super nice! I love this kind a hostel.

    No parking space, had to go-around numerous times until a spot is seen but the mind set is not at peace with the parking, thinking it might get towed anytime

    Very clean, affordable and very near the important sites intended for visit

    I wish the kitchen area was a little larger. It was difficult for more than one person at a time to prepare neals.

    The pods were very comfortable, the privacy curtains are a big plus. The restrooms were spotless and huge. The staff was very efficient.

    At night walking to the place in Market street from the Gaslamp district, you got to see the troubling side of San Diego. Many homeless people in the street.

    It was very clean and had a nice atmosphere inside. It delivered what I wanted in terms of something simple, elegant and cost.

    One staff member has an unclassy attitude.

    They have washers & dryers and even have a coin dispenser for quarters.

    Others aren’t mindful of the noise they make when they come in. Had ppl talking loud late into the night. Someone was on the phone talking really loud late at night as well.

    It was a little hard to find. No nane you can see from the street. Uber driver dropped me off and it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to get in.

    It was the best hostel I’ve ever used. I love the concept. I felt like I had a private room while sharing room w a lot of people. It was quiet and peaceful the whole time.

    nicest dorm EVER. Gorgeous modern facilities

    It’s possible the wifi was fast in common areas, but in dorm 204 at the end of the hall it was too weak to use from about 9pm on.

    Stay Classy was hands-down the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in and specifically had the nicest dorm. Each pod had a shelf, fan, light, hooks, and full length mirror. A big thank you to Carlos in reception for his warm welcome and helpful tour of the place. Everything was spotless and clearly well maintained. I was impressed by the unique extra touches, like the room near the bathroom with chairs, mirrors and hair dryers that you could use to get ready in without disturbing dorm mates or trying to balance all your stuff on a bathroom sink ledge. Coffee and tea was available 24/7. Both upstairs and downstairs common areas had plenty of space.
