We weren't actually able to stay, we booked a reservation through the website, and when we showed up there were no rooms available.

Very good hostel, but a little expensive... And the kitchen doesn't have anything, no dishes, no spoons, nothing!!

the location is very good! near amtrak and grey hound bus station and down town. but there isn't any equipment for cooking such as pot and kettle. you can lose your stuff if you use public refrigerator. but the facilities are very clean. It is good hostel~^^

Don't go there, we found a roach in our room!
very good location. Looks more like a hotel than a hostel. No kitchen utensils available but otherwise everything is fine.

Awesome location in Downtown, close to the Amtrak station and Greyhound, pretty convenient! Clean and well maintained facilities although the dorm was really small but anyway... Good staff, good security. Eventhough some people look weird at times, no worries, this stay at AAE Hostel was a good experience. Would come back anytime!

The name "AAE San Diego 500 West Hotel and Hostel " NEVER is showed in reception, only "500 WEST HOTEL", when i arrived i asked to the tall guy and he was rude, the i had to go down and asked to YMCA receptionist and he helped me. Please take care when a tourist arrive without the enogh information.
It is very close to the amtrack train station but it is basically a hotel. I met a few people from the dorms and they called it the YMCA so Im not sure if it is really a hostel but it was basically just a really cheap looking hotel
The staff were incredibly helpful and the location is amazing. Definitely stay there.
