Hostel in Little Italy with daily pancake breakfast and nightly social hour
Accommodations & Rooms
The hostel offers dormitory beds and private rooms in two historic buildings: the main Captain's House and the Annex White House. Each bed in shared dorms has a privacy curtain, a personal lamp, and a small cabinet for belongings. The private rooms are basic but clean, with shared bathrooms located on the same floor.
Amenities & Services
A coin-operated laundry is available for guests who need to wash clothes during their stay. Private lockers and luggage storage are offered free of charge, and the front desk provides express check-in/check-out. The hostel has a communal kitchen where guests can prepare meals, plus indoor and outdoor lounge spaces with a flat-screen TV.
Dining
Every morning the hostel serves a cook-it-yourself pancake bar breakfast with eggs, bread, fruit, coffee, and tea. A nightly social hour invites guests to bring their own drinks and food to mingle in the common area. The communal kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, and utensils for self-cooking throughout the day.
Entertainment & Social Activities
The hostel organizes daily activities posted on a wall, including billiards, karaoke, movie nights, and pub crawls to local nightlife spots. An entertainment staff leads evening events such as board games, trivia, and group outings to bars. Guests can also relax in the games room or join a WhatsApp group that announces weekly BBQs and billiards matches.
Location
The hostel is set in a Victorian house in Little Italy, a block from the Saturday farmers' market and within walking distance to dozens of restaurants and coffee shops. The San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld are a 10-minute drive, while Petco Park and Balboa Park are less than 4 miles away. The San Diego airport is 5 minutes by car, and the trolley station is a short walk from the front door.
