Qype: The Banana Bungalow in San Diego

San Diego

I haven't been to the Banana Bungalow in about 2 years, but i felt compelled to review it after my housemate opted for the comfy motel option over the beachside beauty of the BB. He's off in 2 weeks time and i'm sure he is making a monumental mistake not staying at this amazing youth hostel. I don't care how old you are, who you're travelling with or how long you are staying for - this is possibly the best place to stay on the west coast of the USA. Hell, it may even be one of the best hostels in the world. Ok, i think you get my point. Here are some details -

- Right on the beach with an amazing sun deck overlooking the pacific

- About $25 per night (dorm room). Double rooms get booked up very quickly.

- Barbecues, theme parties and events happening every night. You'll never get bored.

- Surf schools either side of the hostel

- A very short walk from all the best nightlife in San Diego. Check out Moondoggies!

- Super friendly staff. Always looking to go the extra mile.

- Hooters is located directly behind the hostel.

All in all, an amazing place to stay. I've been here 3 times and as long as they will let me in, i will always be a guest when i'm in San Diego!
