I've stayed in various hostels in the past but never did I stay at a hostel that offered so much to its residents. The staff was immensely friendly and helpful, the hostel cute and colourful. I particularly enjoyed the back terrace where we could have breakfast or enjoy the still warm evening air. I felt safe from the level of security put in place, and all the utensils (in the kitchen) and the beach commodities (towels, surf boards, etc) put at our disposition made the hostel feel welcoming and full of adventures. Plus it was really clean! The location is great if you want a beach holiday, but there are many buses that would take you to the town centre, and the airport.

The check in was easy and the parking space was extremely handy. Being able to use the two bikes was great as we were able to ride up and down the boardwalk. The location is great, you are right next to mission beach and there are supermarkets, bars and food spots less than a minute walk away. The apartment is beautifully decorated and was extremely clean. We really enjoyed our stay!

The only suggestion I would have is to have the hot tub open later. Everything was perfect.

The hotel is first row to the beach, you can hear the waves crashing at night, the rooms were furnished with a lot of love to detail, which made me feel really comfortable and I enjoyed staying there. The staff was friendly as well. Will come back when I am in the area, although its a bit pricy, but totally worth it in my opinion.

Scripps Inn is a sweet little hotel right on the bluffs of La Jolla shores. You can take your coffee out and drink it with a view. Just a little stroll north there is seal beach and a lot of nice restaurants. The room itself was spacious and had everything we needed. Room service is on demand only which we really appreciated. Staff is very friendly and will accommodate you every which way possible. Our room didn’t have a kitchenette only a coffee maker and coffee but that was fine with us.

    Situated right on the beachfront, the location can’t be beat. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to store our luggage as we arrived early via Uber. Comfy bed and the room was quiet. Great features such as filtered water and espresso machines and an honesty bar too. The outdoor lounge area with music is such a nice touch. The nearby grassy knoll park to the south is gorgeous too.

    The location is great, right on the beach, and walking distance from good eating. I was in town for a conference at a resort about 2 blocks away, I’m happy I stayed at the Ocean Park Inn, it was way more affordable and the rooms were nicer. Bed was super comfortable, room spacious, nicely decorated and very clean. Staff were very friendly and super helpful.

    Excellent location! This hostel faces the magnificent Pacific Ocean. It is the very best seaside hostel I have stayed. I wish I would have known this hostel earlier as I feel that the previous four nights were wasted on staying at various beachside hostels at San Diego and LA.

    This hotel is on the beach. There is nice area with sunbeds and chillin with ocean view. Beach is long so you can enjoy long walks. In the hotel you can borrow surfs, boogie boards for free. Hotel is next to the lifeguard headquarter so you can feel very safe. Nice places to eat are in walking distance.
