Finley, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay at Abpopa, cool layout feels modern, artsy. Excellent location for the Hillcrest nightlife, walkable to Balboa Park & Bankers Hill neighborhood. Definitely would stay again.

Lovely quick stay!

Great experience in the middle of a lovely part of town. Space was exactly what I needed for my short stay, and was in excellent condition

Joe, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Great views but the bathroom is not in its own room and has no privacy. It is basically a stall in the room. It feels very much like a hostel. The shower was dirty and the shower bar was held together with a paper towel.
Ryan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Always love my stay at Abpopa Hillcrest, one of my favorite hotels! Great location and hotel is stylish with great art

Great room.. weird bathroom

This hotel was perfect location in Hillcrest. The room was great… lots of windows and great views while in bed. Nice living space and kitchen… comfortable bed. The weird and disappointing thing was the bathroom which was a toilet and shower behind a black plywood partition… so sharing this room, you want to have a comfort level with your partner. But beautiful room for sure.. not sure if all the rooms are… and Vincent was awesome helping with check in and information.
Kenneth, 2-night trip

Close to everything

Great tiny little hotel next to everything in the Gaslamp area of San Diego.

The view of the rooms are amaing
Najmuddin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was interesting. Two lofts with two twin beds in one and a queen in the other. One twin bed was an actual mattress and the other was just a pad. The queen bed was very comfortable. The rooms are directly over a gas station (7-11). It really felt more like a hostel than a hotel. It served its purpose.
Zachary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great option to hotel chains

Great little spot with friendly staff who were always willing to help. Beds was comfortable, water pressure in the shower was great. Would stay again
Ryan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the hotel - check in was so easy - staff was responsive - only note I would give to people is that the bathroom is not a private bathroom, just separated by a divider
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved this area and much hotel vibe!it’s of natural light and windows are operable to a nice cool breeze was attainable!
Alicia, 2-night trip

Unique and homey, perfect for 1 night stay

Cute quirky little place. The loft with the low ceiling was kind of fun and whimsical. Great price for the location
Matthew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

First time stay

Not super clean. Some furniture needs repair or upgrade. I had curtains stained in my room but the management was super responsive and moved me to a better room. The Internet was slow though. Maybe it was just in my room because I saw lots of people were using their laptops downstairs. Also the amount of homeless people around the hotel doesn’t add it a charm. The AC was working but because of the room design, the living area was not getting enough cool air, making it hot while it was freezing by the entrance and kitchen area. This place has an interesting design, but I wish the maintenance of this place was better.
Oleksandr, 4-night trip
