Another cheap "hotel" in San Diego is camping in a tent or RV. There are a number of inexpensive San Diego beach campgrounds or inland campgrounds in San Diego.


San Diego Hostel

Another cheap "hotel" alternative is to stay at a San Diego hostel. A hostel is a low priced accommodation where you rent a bed, sometimes just a bunk bed, in a shared room with other guests. There is typically a kitchen where you can prepare your own food, or meals may be included but you need to help out.

Some hostels may have certain restrictions, such as only for non-San Diego students. Hostels are not for everyone, but they are budget friendly!

Hostelling International has locations in downtown San Diego and Point Loma. This San Diego hostel offers coed, male, and female dormitory style accommodations, with breakfast. From $19 per night per person.
