Great place. Breakfast and lunch in little cafe downstairs is great. Really close to airport. Good restaurants around. Little record shop downstairs is a bonus. Spacious studio.

Not a huge fan of the loft layout. If I come back in the future (which I very well might), I'd instead probably go for a more traditional room where I don't need to climb a ladder to get to the bed. Glad I tried it at least once to see how it was.

Overall a solid option. Pretty convenient location with lots of options for food, shopping, and entertainment. Has most anything you'd need to stay for a couple days (sink, dishes, microwave, fridge, shower amenities). The AC/heater was nice, too.

Floor was concrete and I personally like to have my shoes off, so I had to create my own little trail of towels to step on because they didn't have slippers. Location was pretty sketchy, a lot of homeless around the area, and especially as a solo traveler, please be mindful of your surroundings. Wi-Fi was extremely slow, so I basically just used my data the whole time. Bathroom sink area was weird, you can only use the sink if you flush the toilet, so I just used the kitchen sink to wash my face. The blinds also let a lot of light in, so if you're someone who likes darkness, don't stay here.

Great staff! They let me check out later and since my flight didn't leave till the evening, they let me leave my bags in their little lobby. Room was spacious, equipped with cups, microwave. plates, water kettle, etc. They have a TV and rooms were decorated nicely. Great air conditioning. Amazing location, within walking distance to so many cafes and shops.

Elevator was broken. Had to climb 5 stairs

Air con machine was leaking heavily and someone had just stuffed a lot of towels underneath so we’re obviously aware of the problem. Toilet and bathroom had no privacy.

Good location, room had great double aspect window

It was a higher cost than most places I would stay. I never met the manager or the front desk staff.

Location. The manager quickly addressed my concerns.

There is practically no noise insulation. Our neighbors were incredibly loud and it was difficult to sleep.

Great hotel with a convenient location. Lots of windows and light inside, really liked the atmosphere. Very tasty restaurant right in the courtyard of the hotel.

Mattress could be newer and more comfortable, bedding was old and grungy

Location and funkiness

Stayed in June 2024

The internet provided was nothing short of non-existent when accessing it from your room. We had to go downstairs to get a reasonable signal.

Location was very good. Direct bus service to downtown and the trolley to Tijuana. Excellent value restaurants nearby. The one opposite the front door very reasonable and good food.

The eco-toilet is a nice concept but completely impractical. You can only wash your hands if your flush the toilet, so we ended up usually washing our hands at the kitchen sink. The location of the heating/cooling unit was awkward in that it made one end of the table really uncomfortable to sit at (limited room for legs).

Fantastic location. The size of the room and the furnishings/decorations were all great for two people. Television was small but had all the services we wanted. Kitchen was adequately stocked with dishes and tools.

The blinds didn’t close properly so a lot of light came in, making it difficult to sleep deeply.

WiFi barely worked the entire time. When it wasn't too slow to watch streaming services or browse the internet, it was down.

Check-in and check-out was easy. The location was great, with plenty of food options and close to public transportation. Parking was semi-private, but safe. Staff was friendly and reachable. The room was clean with decent amenities. The code-locked elevator was a nice security feature.

I would say the studio room that sleeps 4 people would be the challenge. The steps to get to the beds are creative but a little on the small size. I wanted to put my suitcase on the bed but wasn’t able to drag it up. But that’s the only thing! Everything else was AWESOME!

Very convenient location!! Everything we needed was right there within walking distance.

It felt like a second home and very comfortable and was close to a good amount of the bars down there so it wasn't too far of a walk.

Facilities are a bit dated, the bath room is very awkward.

Poor check in procedure. Owner was busy on personal calls and didn't check to see if room was ready. No service and feet like I was staying in a glorified youth hostel. Never fixed broken lamp with no light bulb.

The check-in process could be better. The receptionist took my credit card, and I got a text with the room codes. That's about it. I would have appreciated more information on how to lock the door on your way out, a reminder of how to use the AC, etc. Also, the remote control has a weird design and finding the volume was challenging. For instance, these little bits of extra info in a Welcome letter in the room would be great. A more personalised check-in experience would have been appreciated. I still 100% recommend this place to any solo travellers or couples who want to be centrally located in Hillcrest.

The room was exactly what I needed. The location was PERFECT: super central in Hillcrest and close to coffee shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance, which is what I wanted. The bed was super comfy, and I was lucky with my neighbours as I had a very quiet and peaceful stay.

The maintenance in the room was a bit poor: The tap fitting was loose. The A/C unit was under the table/bench, making the floor very cold (unpleasant), but not reaching the loft box rooms, meaning they were very warm (it was August).

Great location. Quirky room. Fun with teenagers. Good parking (undercover and spacious). Nice cafe/bakery incorporated (didn't take advantage of it, but nice to know it was there). Very easy location to travel to and from. Would stay again.

The bedroom is really stuffy since it's too close to the ceiling with no ventilation. Might want to think twice before booking if you have a respiratory problem.

Really friendly staff. Good location. We had a nice patio, but it's not available in every room tho.

Stayed in August 2023

The bathroom door had no way to stay closed.

It's a really nice neighborhood/area to be in. The bed was comfy. It has everything we needed for a short stay.

The outside noise

Stayed in August 2023

the bathroom wasn’t completely closed. there is a gap on the top so you could look in from the top loft. toilet got clogged and didn’t hear back for over 2hrs

it was ok.

The room was missing a ton of minor details, such as a mirror in the restroom (there were 2 girls trying to share a small mirror over the kitchen sink), trash cans in the kitchenette, a place to store your clothes. There was 3 hangers on a pole in the wall, but no dressers, night stands, or a closet in either of the rooms. If I was staying for longer, this would have been a huge inconvenience.

We booked a 2 bedroom/2 bath suite for the 4 of us. Having separate spaces for the guys and girls worked out perfect, plus we had a common living room. The building was safe and secure. We had access codes to get into the gates after hours, the elevator to get up to our floor and the enter our room.
