All a go at the Banana Bungalow

Pacific Beach is an ultimate destination for travelers of all demographics, which includes young travelers on a budget. For visitors looking for lower priced options, the Banana Bungalow hostel offers low nightly rates, is right by the night life and if it were any closer to the beach, it would literally be in the surf.

Rates start at $25 a night for public rooms (meaning you’ll be sharing a room with fellow travelers) and start at $65 for private, 2-person rooms. Don’t know the area and unsure of where to start? Staff at this hostel have different activities planned out everyday. All you have to do is show up! These range from water activities like snorkeling to trips to Sea World and late-night parties.

Many of the guests are young internationals, who spend much time on the hostel’s deck overlooking the ocean. Out here you’ll see that folks usually have a red cup in one hand and are fist pumping the other. (And if they’re not first pumping, it’s probably because they’re playing a game of beer pong!)

So if you’re coming to San Diego with the intent to party hard and willingness to share a room for a great price, look no further.
