This place was a lucky find. Very friendly community, clean and colorful, and hospitable. Great for a first visit to the city. Close to airport too. Staff was responsive and helpful. Please be aware that this is a hostel with shared rooms and bathrooms, but it is a delightful spot for the single traveler.

California experience 1970

A fairly worn grungy hostel. All the basics, but could use updating of common areas. And better cleaning of room. Staff friendly and helpful. Up charges for hot tub use. Mattress comfortable enough but synthetic sheets and thin blanket. Plenty of outlets and WiFi good. Breakfast starts late, 8:30. There is only street parking, free but may not be nearby. Public transportation is not nearby.

Very clean and I felt very safe. There are a number of rules but all meant to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and the rooms as well. Great little pool and jacuzzi. Surrounding area is a little slow but a quick drive to balboa park and cheap Uber to downtown SD. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend.
