The restaurant was not open the entire time I was there.

10/10 Exceptional

Drains back up here, seemingly just a part of the San Diego water-crisis (and all that implies). Been here many (3+) times: drains, all of them, back up. Otherwise very nice place; great cafe downstairs; easy-going check in and out.

4/10 Fair

I found it quite noisy, I could hear people talking and content pounding on floor above! Checkin was easy and staff was helpful!

The hotel room was cozy and unique. Staff was friendly and always available to answer my questions.
SHAUNA, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointed

We were really disappointed. The room is like a college apartment with a motor home kitchen and bathroom. The floor to ceiling windows drew us in but unfortunately the thin shades kept the bedrooms bright at night. Also, we heard a lot of noise and full conversations of the homeless people throughout the night. It didn’t feel safe walking around at night with our family either. Positives were proximity of restaurants and Zoo.

10/10 Exceptional

Have stayed here multiple times and I love it. The larger rooms toward the top of the building have better views, but an open air bathroom situation. If you want more privacy for the bathroom, I would recommend getting a studio room.

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel!! The owners upgraded me to their amazing penthouse suite, which was very generous. Btw, their penthouse suite is over 1,000 sf of space with stunning 360-degree views of the entire city, kitchen, large seating area, etc. So I will always stay at the amazing Abpopa Hillcrest when I am in San Diego!!

Great place to stay. I liked the room very nice.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

This was definitely a unique alternative to the typical hotel stay. They have definitely created a niche lodging experience.

Modern comfortable hotel with cool vibe

We travel to San Diego for work several times a year. This was a new hotel for us to try. We loved it. A very cool, modern and hip vibe. A beautiful room. And a wonderful restaurant downstairs was great as well.
James, 1-night trip

Conveniently located. The city view was nice waking up to. Property manager was very helpful during check in. The morning coffee bar was the cherry on top.

2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love the Abpopa! Love the modern esthetic of the hotel, the original artwork on the walls, fridge and microwave in the room, cafe downstairs with vegan options, the great Hillcrest/Mission Valley location, and reasonable prices.
James, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bare bones but I’d visit again

I had difficulty getting on WiFi but finally managed it. Someone is always available by phone even though there is no desk. The parking is not gated nor does it have cameras so I felt parking was expensive for no security. It was a convenient hotel for me.
