I'm sorry for not giving an excellent review. The location and the staff were wonderful, and they kept the place clean and kept the guests feeling welcomed with good attitudes and activities, but having only one sink in the hallway to share amongst many of the guests was awkward. Besides that, Ihad a great experience.

Really enjoyed my stay at ITH. My hosts Ruben, Sergio, and Megan were very accomodating in making my stay comfortable. They take pride in keeping the hostel clean. My bed was so comfortable with comfy pillows. The lovely room made for a relaxing stay. Thank you ITH! You all are awesome!

This was my first experience staying in a hostel and I have to admit it was great! Reuben was wonderful and the place was constantly getting cleaned. I had a private queen room and it was perfect. The shared facilities were well kept and I have zero complaints. The location of this hostel also made it easy to walk to Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. As someone who did a solo trip, I would recommend staying here!
