Lucky D's hostel is amazing. The staff is super friendly, everything is nice, clean and cozy. I would totally recommend any traveller to stay here if you are in San diego! It's close to Gaslamp and it has plenty of cool bars and restaurants close.

“Amazing stay” — May 10, 2022

The place was wonderful, the staff are super helpful and always there 24hrs to assist. Facilities are numerous an ATM, ironing equipment, ear plugs, reading room, laundry facilities. These guys have thought of almost everything that you will need. Plus I was lucky to have a free meal on one of the days courtesy of a guy called ‘Osteen’ I think. There is a lot of socializing too, good place to meet people. Thanks Leo for the warm welcome.

“My Adventure” — April, 2022

Lucky D's is like a family. The atmosphere is probably one of the best I have ever experienced in a hostel. The people are kind, the location is excellent, and the staff are amazing. Love it here!!

“Lucky D’s is like a family.” — May, 2021

Great place, helpful and accomodating staff. The rooms and common areas are cleaned daily by the staff and several volunteers. In contrast to other hostels Lucky D has several common rooms that create a social and homely feeling. Best of all, the hostel is centraly located and resonably priced

“Love this place, great people=great vibe” — March 2021

This is two years back to back I've stayed at Lucky D's Hostel in San Diego. The people operating this place are great, friendly & very helpful. The atmosphere is openly social, I met several nice people who were also staying there. I appreciate what this establishment offers to travelers looking for a nice, low key affordable place to hang their hat!
