OUR PASSION IS TO HOST TRAVELERS

You’re traveling the country looking for the ultimate place to stay which can show you how to experience the local culture. You are not sure if you want to stay in a hotel or have a more insider experience at a hostel from a local champion host who can show you the city.

Where do I stay at that can host me with a great experience and show me some fun local spots?

Oh, you’re are in just the right spot, friend!

That’s where we come in!

We are James Black and Bobby Dyer, cofounders of ITH Hostels. Ever since an early age, we have always had a passion for hosting and a love for travel but weren’t sure how we could combine the two.

After meeting each other while working at another hostel in San Diego, we knew we could help travelers with a better experience during their trip to San Diego. After over a year of searching on craigslist for a potential property, we found the perfect spot, and ITH Hostels was born!

We believe that traditional accommodations leave out the most important parts of your journey: the chance to open your mind and experience the world through another traveler’s eyes. 

Our sustainably driven communal lodging strives to educate each guest in the walk of life that we call hosteling. Open your mind by meeting world travelers and learning new cultural practices of how people live in their communities. Look beyond the hostels as a simple place of rest, and embrace the unique experience you’re about to be immersed in.  

Creating a global family, one traveler at a time.
