Sehr gute Lage! Zimmer waren auch ausreichend gross, und mit Lockers ausgestattet. Frische Handtuecher jeden Tag und saubere Badezimmer sind auch nicht zu verachten. Aber leider gabs keinen richtigen Gemeinschaftsraum und/oder Kueche.

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 location. Looks more like a hotel than a hostel. No kitchen utensils available but otherwise everything is fine.

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

I am not a smoker. Need more security for smoking. Guests were smoking in the Hallways with the windows open other than that I had a great stay. Wish you the best. By the way are there any AAE Hostels or affiliates in Seattle Washington?

This was an excellent stay that was one of the few places that actually exceeded my expectations and was a great value. It's very close to the train station (a block and a half) and a block from the San Diego trolley. Buses are available for most other attractions nearby. The rooms were VERY clean, and I am frankly uncertain how the shared bathrooms were kept so clean. There is a lounge area with microwave and vending machinge, and the rooms have small, flat-screen TVs with basic cable. (No prem

Excellent stay at the AAE San Diego. Location is brilliant being so close to the convention centre. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Price i paid was a quarter what my friends paid in a very nearby hotel and they weren't pleased at all. All in all, an excellent place to stay.

Hostel has a great location...right in down town, close to a train station and the harbor. The rooms are simple, but clean. There is a nice kitchen and hang out area. The bathrooms were pretty clean. The only downside was finding parking. You could park on the street certain times without paying, and there were parking garages close by, but they were $15 for overnight stay.
