We decided to check out a day earlier than planned due to several issues that made our stay uncomfortable. While the location is excellent, we found the hostel itself to be below our expectations. Unfortunately, it triggered our allergies. Despite having stayed in various hostels worldwide, including Los Angeles, Boston, and New York City, this experience was quite disappointing. The air conditioning was not functioning during the hot summer days, and the fan provided was excessively loud. The refrigerator was leaking, which caused damage to our food. We reported a clogged toilet to the staff, but the issue was not resolved. Additionally, we noticed staff smoking vapor inside the hostel, which was unpleasant. The trash cans were overflowing from the evening until we went to bed around 1:30 AM, and they remained unemptied. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday, and it was unfortunate that these issues impacted our experience to the point where we wished to change accommodation.
I am so unspeakably grateful for Podshare!! I live in LA and needed to go to San Diego for a few nights, so I jumped on the Pacific Surfliner and took the beautiful trip down. Podshare is so splat in the middle of everything that I was able to stroll from the station easy peezy. I walk in and internally shriek because the location is gorgeous and the pods are just so cool. There's something so special about co-living like that to me. Check-in was a breeze, so I get my awesome pod, put my stuff away and wander around gorgeous Little Italy. Since I saved so much $ on my hotel, I was totally comfortable splurging on food and drinks, and thank goodness because Little Italy is bursting with the cutest spots. I got what I had to do done, much of which was done by foot (which is a gift given I live in smog-filled LA), and came home to a clean pod and some cool characters. Personally, when I travel alone I often feel lonely, but this was never the case here. Easy, cute, convenient. I am definitely coming back, and can't wait for it!!
STAY AWAY FROM THAT PLACE This hostel is the worst place in San Diego. I saw people get drunk and fight each other and listen music all night long. Nobody at the front desk was helping me with an extension so I did it online and they cancelled my booking of 3 days less than 24 hours before with no refund. A kid with a gigantic Napoleon complex called himself the Booking manager called me on my cell phone and said that I had to leave. STAY AWAY FROM THAT PLACE
PodShare San Diego offers unparalleled convenience in the heart of one of San Diego's most charming neighborhoods, Little Italy. Nestled in this upscale area, it provides easy access to all the excitement downtown has to offer. The staff, from the resident advisors to management, are incredibly hospitable, always ready to assist with any inquiries or needs (Damon, specifically, was amazing!). If you're seeking a comfortable and convenient stay in the picturesque downtown of San Diego, look no further than PodShare San Diego.
I enjoyed this place a lot. The staff was great and they took care of the place. There were a lot of people staying here long term which speaks to how it is taken care of. Also, it was great for me because it was close to the trolley and easy to get around SD from here.
I stayed here for one night last August of 2023 and it was a great experience. Unfortunately my last stay here this week wasn’t so great. The kitchen and bathrooms were dirty with the trash overflowing. The sleeping area really smelled and you could tell some people had been living there a long time and had all their possessions stuffed into their living space I can deal with stink. I’ve spent time in plenty of hostels. I just feel like it should be a short term place and not a place for people to live long term. Because then you get those quality of life issues like hoarding l, body odor and bed bugs. My last night there I woke up with four bed bug bites on my arm and hand. One on my foot as well. I’ve included pictures. Great location but until they get rid of the bed bugs and long term residents I’m never staying there again. To me it’s a hostel, not a homeless shelter.
This is by far the worst hostel ever. Management is super rude and bossy with their guests, and they order them around like if they are working for them. Many fights every day. Bad vibes. Don't ruin your san Diego experience by staying there.
