R.K.Hostel Reviews

All round amazing hostel. The staff (James) makes you feel very welcome as soon as you arrive. The rooms are clean, big and not rammed full with people which makes a change. The bathrooms are very clean, spaceous and there are many of them. There is wife, computers with internet and tv/ x box which is a huge bonus. Perfect location,10 minutes from the airport and right in the middle of little Italy and walking distance from the marina. I highly recomend this hostel.

Don't ever go there they got bed bugs they got bad piping they have no customer service they have no knowledge to the customers and just the big bugs I seen three babe bugs on the bed please do not go there if you don't want to be bit by the Bay blog like I did

RK was a sweet palace to stay. Of you get the boss' sense of humour you are all good here. Great place to visit little Italy and maritime museum, metro line and plenty of good eats and drinks around.

EXCELENT TIMES IN THE HOSTEL WOULD RECOMEND ALL TRAVELERS TO STAY FOR A WHILE

My room was noisy (hearing all discussions, and cars outside), and with very poor furniture (no chair nor something to hang out clothes, nor table, no curtain & store was damaged ,(lack of intimacy). Its door was not very strong, (don't feel safe as locker). Hopefully, staff was very kind and keeping the hostel quite clean. access to internet was easy ,shared bathroom was excellent. Location of this hostel (near large roads and closed to airport) would deserve better equipment to reduce noise.

This Hostel is the worst hostle I ever seen in my life. It smells bad; It is not clean. The rooms are full of bug. I couldn't get sleep. The staff the so called manager has no human character. In the kitchen I see mouse then I stop cooking or eating there. I got coughing as every body in that hostel. In the night it seems you are in hospital because people from every rooms are coughing. I think The City of San Diego has not made any inspection, rather it is collecting a 10.50% tax from us.

I've had an issue with this hostel ongoing since February-- an employee ran off with my nice C.K. sweater. The hostel told me in an extremely harsh manner that they would mail it back to me if I did ALL THE WORK because they were 'so busy'. It is not a busy place, though. I did mail them a check for $13 and they cashed it...without returning my sweater! It is now June and I am still in the process of trying to get my $13 back! My sweater is gone for good, they say... scary. rude. theft.

Bit of construction going on but other than that the staff were friendly and very helpful with directions and info!

After reading a few of the reviews I was a little skeptical about staying here, however I found this hostel to be a very cool little place and a far better alternative to the hostels downtown in the Gaslamp, which always have homeless people hanging around. They are located in Little Italy and are close to the airport which I found to be very convenient. James and Jeff are both super friendly, helpful, and had me laughing the entire time. I felt very safe and welcome thanks to these two.

the staff are so far from reality and not up to international hostel standards and have been found fighting and calling each other names. the dust under the bed was so thick i could write a letter in it. the common area has a weird vibe and the bathrooms are not great. boo. this place seems to attract the seedy. booooooo!!

I didn't care for this place. The staff where not friendly and welcoming. It was actually hard to tell who the staff were and who was a guest. The place lacked warmth. The most offensive thing I experienced was the men's bathroom on the first floor. I used the troff urinal. It had no plumbing attatched to the drain. so, the urine and flush water spilled onto the floor and ran across the bathroom floor. They could have at least posted an out of order sign or taped it off. Not returning

Persons who works in the hostel are very nice but cleanliness is bery bad. I was bitten by some bedbugs ! With my friends we have found some insects on the bed... So they have to pay attention about the cleanliness of the rooms.

The house looks very pretty from the outside but it was a really weird Hostel with very weird people in it! We had the feeling that most of them are homeless in there. Me and my friend we were kind of scared to spend the night there...
