PodShare San Diego - Hostel

The worst hotel I've ever been to. It smells like urine, the pillows are yellow from being dirty, they refused to give me a locker when others did, there are cameras in the rooms, they force you to sweep, there's no lighting in the common areas, the manager mistreats you, there's no privacy, and I don't recommend it for women. They robbed me and did nothing.

Would have gotten a better review if my check in process went smoothly. I let the agent know ahead of time that I will be checking in after midnight since I’m driving all the way from Fresno. She assured me that it was fine and she will take note for the staff. I get there and the office was closed, did not email me the code and the check in details like she said she would. I was there waiting for 30 minutes, ringging the door bell nonstop and calling the phone. This is my first time staying at a hostel so to have an experience like this is disappointing. The manager came finally, after talking to the other tenants outside I guess he heard us talking. He at least acted somewhat professionally. The place is not bad, the bed is soft, the blanket had some type of smell idk if its unwashed. If you are in the navy, this is somewhat close to the berthing expect it is larger that what you are used to. I just came back from deployment on the ship so to me its spacious not a 5 star hotel obviously but its not bad for the price.

20 bed bug bites 1 night hellish now

I liked the large dayroom area

It was really chill, pillows need some love

Bed bugs.

The staff is super friendly and attentive to your needs. Great little spot in a convenient location. Would definitely stay here again.

A cozy cobin vibe where one can feel right at home. Conveniently next to little Italy and the trolley.

The host was amazing. Super attentive super clean The overall ambient is great.

Great place to stay for a quick, cheap trip. Everybody in the hostel is super nice and respectful, while also doing their own thing so its pretty quiet. The interior was SUPER clean, the staff does a great job making sure of that. Overall, great experience, and would love to stay with PodShare in the future!

I just got back from staying in hostels all over Europe for a couple months. This is nicer than most places I’ve stayed. It’s super quiet. Large fan provides great white noice. Staff is lovely. Great communal space.

Everything was exactly as expected upon arrival with the very clear directions sent to me at my remote check-in (which I was very grateful for as I wouldn’t gotten to my event on time otherwise) Other travellers were very respectful and quiet, even outside “quiet hours” the only downside is having 2 restrooms to accommodate all the pods. Had to squirm for a bit upon waking up as both were occupied for showers. Otherwise a great Hostel. Sadie was a wonderful hostess and ensured I had everything I needed as I headed out into town for the night.

I wasn’t expecting a facility that made me feel totally uncomfortable and racially unwelcome during my stay. Next, I was told that I couldn’t wash my clothes because only the manager at the facility was allowed to wash my clothes, but when I asked her to wash my clothes she told me “NO”. At 3:33 am in the morning I was awakened by loud talking when I was told that “Quiet time starts at 10pm and no TV after 10pm. Finally the shower in the facility was unsanitary and dirty. I took pictures of the unsanitary shower

This has to be one of the worst Hostel I have stayed in. The place itself is very hot. No AC or fans inside where people sleep, it doesn’t even have window. It feels like a oven, I have no idea how anyone can sleep comfortably in that type of temperature. It is dirty, smells disgusting and a lot on the people staying there live in that hostel.

Great experience. My first time in. Hostel style experience and I was extremely comfortable

Afuera siempre olía a pipi, falta de limpieza, yo tuve que poner papel en el baño como 3 veces, espacios incómodos

Very nice people and everything just like in the description.

Everyone was fantastic when we got there. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay, however the quality of our company left us feeling unwelcome toward the end. This was not the Hostels fault as far as I can tell, it was just unfortunate circumstances about what was being watched on the communal TV. If you're okay with paying a little too much for pod-style accommodations where you may make some friends, by all means. However if you're looking for more privacy or, in our case, members of the LGBT community you may want to look elsewhere. We are two trans women and it was a little less than ideal.
