What guests say
6.1 / 10 · Pleasant on Booking.com, from 211 guest reviews
R.K. Hostel draws budget travelers primarily for its excellent location near Little Italy and downtown San Diego, combined with very affordable prices. However, reviews consistently highlight significant cleanliness problems, uncomfortable heat due to lack of AC, noise from the nearby freeway and airport, and minimal staff availability, making it suitable only for experienced, flexible travelers who prioritize location and price over comfort.
