Great place!

The room was unique with loft, the bed comfortable and clean and [my] AC was working well. (Met other guests who were in a unit with no working AC). The windows were failing with condensation between the double pane, obstructing view. The furniture was very stained - so much, I wasn’t comfortable relaxing on them. Cobwebs, garbage in the upper corner of the room. Walls, ceilings and window coverings were marred with scuff marks or liquid stains of undetermined origin. Shower curtain had black mildew stains. No bathroom sink, so all hygiene routines happened at the kitchenette, stainless steel basin. 3 spoons and 2 knives provided in kitchenette. Lots of nightly foot traffic in the elevators by single fellas~ This place had potential, but I will not be staying here again.

Excelente lugar y exactamente como las fotos. Bien ubicado y con un restaurant abajo de la propiedad muy deli!

Fun and unique studio apartment. The cafe downstairs is great and the location is very convenient. The bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom is not great if traveling with more than yourself.

i stayed in the split level cabin stylish room, excellent walkable hillcrest location. we booked for 1 night and extended for another. a few things to be aware of in advance if you’re a couple considering staying in the unit 1. the length of the bed barely fits in the space so if you’re on the far side u can get around the bed but just barely (maybe 6-9” of free space) 2. the bathroom is suboptimal — unnecessarily tiny and open at the top and only has a tiny eco sink above the toilet. the main sink i used was in the kitchen. with the design, bathroom noise travels so unit really much better for a single than a couple or good for a couple that doesn’t care 3. the picture of the room that i saw showed a desk but our room just had a narrow table big ebnough for the flat screen tv sitting on it, so i repurposed the living room table as a desk for my computer despite some of the issues with the bed space and bathroom design, it was a great value for a really stylish unit in a great location. for the right people, highly recommend

Perfect spot to be in the heart of the city

The check in was contactless but painless and convenient. This isn’t how conventional hotels are but I like it for what it is. It’s close to restaurants and shops.

I really WANTED to like this hotel, as it’s independent and eclectic. Sadly, it’s the second worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms are utterly impractical. There is no closet, and not even hooks and hangers. There is a single “overcoat” hook by the front door. There is no bathroom. The toilet and shower are in the living room behind a moveable screen. There are two sets of steps (two steps each), one leading to the galley “kitchen” (just a counter, sink, mini fridge, microwave, and a few cupboards. The last set leads to the bed, which takes up the entire landing. The bed is ridiculously low, making it very difficult to get up from it, and the mattress was very uncomfortable. If you have ANY mobility issues, this is a death trap. It’s very easy to fall. The promotional materials don’t reveal the full impractical nature of the rooms. Hotels.com should de-platform this hotel, and the hotel should be investigated for ADA issues.

Front desk worker Paul was very nice and respectful & overall was a excellent and fun room for the night

Great tiny little hotel next to everything in the Gaslamp area of San Diego.

This is a cute hotel however you can tell that it was refurbished from a old apartment building. Although it was a spacious room there really wasn’t space for a woman to properly get ready. I had to do my make up in the mirror that was above the kitchen sink. The bed was very uncomfortable, although the sheets were comfortable, but it did not have a boxsprings. So you felt every single metal from the bed-frame. Outside there were multiple drug addicts hanging in front of the building and next-door at 7 eleven. Parking was not explained. We parked on the street. We did not get a ticket thank God.

Always love my stay at Abpopa Hillcrest, one of my favorite hotels! Great location and hotel is stylish with great art

Did not sleep at all!! So much noise outside the windows! Trash truck started at 5am. From 3-5am it was gang cars playing reallly really loud music. I even recorded it. The chairs in the room were filthy dirty with stains.

Loved the hotel - check in was so easy - staff was responsive - only note I would give to people is that the bathroom is not a private bathroom, just separated by a divider

The view of the rooms are amaing

We were moved to this property by Expedia after our reservation was mis-handled. It looks spacious but the master bathroom is a plywood space that is open at the top for all noise to be heard.. and tiny. Sink to brush teeth is a ‘kitchette sink”. The floors were sticky; make noise when walked upon. The other bathroom was a bathtub next to the bed in the CARPETED bedroom! Bed and tub next to each other with carpet as you get out if tub!!!! Reminded me of traveling in the 90’s in eastern block countries in Europe. Noisy noisy dirty hillcrest neighborhood right next to 7-11. Would never stay again nor recommend

stayed here every time we visit San Diego and we love the convenience of the options around us

Would only recommend if you’re staying one night, are a heavy sleeper and need to get up really early. Pros: Plenty of places to eat in the area Close to old town and balboa park Good water pressure in shower Room had plenty of space Cons: Noisy - no soundproofing, so you get noise from the street and adjoining rooms Blinds are thin and don’t block any light No kettle or coffee maker or toaster No bathroom cabinet, just a toilet next to the shower No servicing, so you don’t get toilet paper topped up or rubbish removed during your stay No drawers or wardrobe/hanging space for clothes Kitchen crockery was just a corkscrew and butter knife Air conditioning didn’t work There was no laundry facilities (hotels.com said there was)

The bed is up a ladder you have to climb to get to it. The ceiling is only 6 feet tall in the little room that has the bed in it. There’s no cable or satellite television. It’s just a Roku TV so if you don’t have access, don’t book it here. There’s no front desk. In fact there’s no one that works here. You have to call a phone number paste it outside the gate to get the code to get in. Not very user-friendly the bed was very comfortable. Other than that I have nothing else. Good to say. The restaurant downstairs for breakfast was excellent.

Great little spot with friendly staff who were always willing to help. Beds was comfortable, water pressure in the shower was great. Would stay again
