International Travelers House Downtown San Diego - Adults Only

Location and friendly staff

The upper shower needs a shelf to place your soap/shampoo (easy fix) and cleaned regularly.

The staff was kind. Since this hostel is NOT handicap friendly the staff helped me lift my cart up the stairs once I was inside the building.

There was NO AIR CONDITIONING inside the hostel and during the month of July it was HOT inside of the hostel while there was a cool breeze coming from the opened window. What a let down.

I liked its location. It also had a pool table, board games, and a guitar for anyone to play.

The front desk staff wanted to charge me to rent a towel and washcloth, when it specifically said they were included in the amenities and also on the door of the room in which I stayed. San Diego residents are not permitted to stay there

Stuff was friendly and location was good.

Tv didn¿t work. Cockroach in the room. Bathroom had mold all over the ceiling. Pictures don¿t resemble the reality of the property

Very Nice Staff, clean facility, close freeway, restaurant,beach, all range the hotel was good.

my only inconvenience was the parking

Staff have tried hard to keep the place clean.

A bit crowded in the common areas due to the small size of the kitchen and lounge room and no work space.

Staff was really nice and helpful. They also would plan group events such as bbq and meditation so people could get to know each other.

Your staff was great the few ppl I met were friendly coffee shops around the hostel looking fwd to staying again

Only took me 50 minutes to walk from the airport to this hotel. Great location "Little Italy" is tons of fun with lots of great shops and restaurants.

Hostel is super old = thin walls = very loud even with ear plugs. The wooden floors echo all of the noise; people coming in and out all night long. Would not recommend for couples or families.

People is so friendly and helpful.

I love everything in there.

Friendly staff

friendly people and great chill vibes

Staff

Location was great

Friendly staff in a good location, right by Little Italy and easy walk to Balboa Park. Luggage storage was free, and staff helped us with our bags, very nice. Our private standard room was basic but clean and had an aircon. However it’s not super cheap. For the money for a private room I think there are probably places with more comfortable beds for a few extra $.

Sadly the bed had major rolltogether so it was pretty uncomfortable. There was a loo upstairs near the room which was good but the shower upstairs was out of order. No big deal but not a great look. This hostel has moved at the end of 2025. The address on the check in info we were sent hadn’t been updated so it took a bit of extra time to find it. It is very close to the original address, but on Front St. The pics on Booking.com were also out of date in Jan 26. I’m sure these will be updated soon but worth checking.

The staff was overworked and polite. There were only 2 and that seems exhausting for hostel wages compared to the responsibilities.

Generally put off by the long term guests the cramped feeling of the shared spaces and the smell of the place. Some guests can live there long-term and they have some personal problems they need to work on from drug abuse to general hostility. The living room is not conducive to socializing. The bedroom I stayed in smelled like socks.

Very good location. Kinda friendly staff. Tolerable for price. Clean bathrooms.

The building was pretty old and our door was not strong enough, it was like it can be easily opened with one push. Staff was friendly in attitude however my only request, changing towels, which were not clean, was not considered and any action was not taken. There was a guy smoking something outside so there was a pretty bad smell in the house.

The location was prime. Easy access to to interstates, restaurants and stores.

The shower was not working?‍?

Location- near or in Little Italy, many wonderful xadés and restaurants within walking distance and proximity to the Mexican Consulate where I had an appointment. Easy to get to from the airport- bus and walk. The house is well maintained , has lots of unique features in its architecture and takes you back in time. My room was comfortable, clean and safe. It felt very community like, whille allowing for quiet alone time. I liked that there were some planned events everyone was welcome to participate in. The breakfast that was included was well-organized and delicious, with access at all times to use of the fridge and kitche facilities. The shared bathroom was single use and private. The front staff were friendly and helpful. It was very good value for the rates.

I can’t think of a thing.

Great staff, fantastic location. Free breakfast.

Found a couple cockroaches during our stay, one in the kitchen and one in our room.
