The Hostel California, THC

"I can’t believe there are some people commenting about not being responded on instagram, I thought it was just me . The owner of the hostel is a jerk, he discriminates and chooses who comes and doesn’t come to the hostel so if you don’t look the part like a white hippy traveler str8 they most likely reject you , they lie and tell you there isn’t any space available? Really even a week or two weeks advance?? They either ignore you or tell you “ they’re full” . Honestly this place needs to close down and be investigated this isn’t a professional hostel establishment and should be avoided at all costs"

"I contacted them 2 weeks prior to when I was hoping to stay with them and they kind of just led me on for 2 weeks saying they didn’t know if they’d have space for me yet. But that they’d get back to me. They never said yes or no despite me following up many times. I can’t trust this hostel, and I’m bummed out because I don’t know why they led me on like that. I just hope it wasn’t discrimination during pride month! If you’re looking for an alternative, I loved staying at the Samesun Hostel"

"Such a unique hostel experience! Absolutely loved the collaborative art atmosphere and community of this hostel. Location is a 10/10, walking distance to shops, restaurants, grocery stores etc. Felt very safe here as a solo female. The outdoor space was my favorite and had enough room to socialize or do your own thing. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you Andy!"

"Host is always available to answer any questions efficiently, Comfy spaces, Communal food/pantry. Lots of hang out spots, Hot Tubs, Blankets, Towels. Free Events and Djs! Everyone is extremely welcoming and makes you feel very comfortable from the moment you check in till the moment you leave. Whether you’re backpacking through the San Diego area or just coming to stay here, you will leave with great memories, friends and new languages learned from other international travelers that stay here! 100% Recommended and I will definitely come back!"

"The most chill people that I ever met.. Great place to relax, smoke your weed, listen an acoustic song in live, hot tub to relax and enjoy the people that you’re going to meet there! There’s plenty space for you to enjoy, food and much more!! I super recommend because it will be a unique and wonderful experience!!"
