Only if your desperate
As a hostel, it lacks that certain kindred spirit I find at most every other hostel I’ve stayed in. Mainly, I suspect because it’s in a part of town that has the homeless element ever present. Just my opinion, I probably wouldn’t stay there again if I could make other arrangements. If it was my only option the only way I’d consider it was if it was cheaper than the $50 I paid. More like a $20 a night spot imho

I enjoyed my stay at RK Hostel. Pleasant friendly staff. Affordable prices. It was nice quite and very peaceful. The room that I was in had beautiful paintings with good colour scheme. I enjoyed the fresh night breeze and opened windows. I look forward to staying again! Good job staff!

I seen cockroaches in my room on more than one instant I got bit by them around my elbows as well as the side of my butt. Outside of that the location seemed a little sketchy

You get what you pay for. The cleanliness is good but its the condition of the building that isnt which, especially in California, is an expensive thing for someone to pay for when the money they make is 30$ a night per bed. Bring shower shoes, the windows dont close, the bathroom door, at least the one in my room, is hard to close. Again, for what you pay for, this all isnt that bad.

I really liked that it had a community living room area, even though the tv (or rather the cable) wasn’t working. That area was nice and spacious. It had good size windows for natural lighting. One downside was that only one ceiling fan had a spot for a light bulb but there was no bulb and no other spots for lights in that area. I really like the community coffee pot. My friend and I donated some extra stuff that we had to the coffee area. The room that we were in was really big. It was clean and the beds were made and presentable. Clean sheets and blankets are always a great thing. I really enjoyed the two little couches. Super comfortable and cute. I really loved the HUGE shower. That thing was awesome. I liked the big round nozzle, it made it so the water would get all over you and not just concentrated in one spot. I didn’t like how, for some reason, only one bathroom downstairs worked. If one person was in the only working downstairs bathroom, and someone in a wheelchair or crutches or even elderly, they had to possibly wait a while until the other person got done. And sometimes with elderly they have a hard time holding onto their bowles. And I think that the hostel should provide maybe some hand sanitizer. Yeah I understand that they don’t want to put a bar of soap in there cuz of the spreading of bacteria or what have you. But a hand sanitizer would be very useful. All in all it was a great place to stay and I would definitely come back.

Got the single bed room. It was comfortable and was perfect for an overnight stay in San Diego. Extremely close to the airport.
