Hostels For San Diego Travel

Hostels For San Diego Travel

Southern California lodging is notoriously expensive, but youth hostels are a great way to cut the high cost of San Diego travel. With $30 and an open mind, you can stay in some prime spots on the Pacific Beach boardwalk in San Diego. And while hostels were once considered only for backpackers, their popularity has been growing with a wider range of travelers in recent years.

For those seeking a more social and budget-friendly alternative to hotel travel, they can be the perfect option. And hostel travelers today expect more than "no bugs and hot water" from their hostel accommodations. Especially in Europe and Australia, hostels are becoming much more upscale, promoting a concept known as budget luxury. This is catching on in the US as well, with hostels like the Banana Bungalow in San Diego offering extras like free barbeques twice a week, sunset parties and live performances by local bands.
