Overall great setup. Lots of lil amenities. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The down side was not having a fan or individual AC in the room(private). The room was just muggy. Opening the window didn't help with the airport and condensor units right outside. Barely my second stay at a hostel. But i noticed the lack of group activities, maybe just the off season. Idk. But would definitely stay here again.

I enjoyed my stay. The staff are friendly and exceptional. I enjoyed getting to know some if the other travelers.

Hostel was fine. Breakfast too. Staff : Anna was great. Clementine was awful. Rude, unhelpful- worst staff person ever at a hostel.

Check-in was very easy parking is free in abundant everybody was super chill super nice I have no complaints

Good

An amazing place to stay! Beginning with a very reasonable nightly rate, a friendly staff that keeps the property immaculately clean, the amenities including rental bikes, surfboards, a swimming pool,... California Dreams Hostel exceeded every expectation!

Friendly staff. Recommended .

This accommodation exceeded my expectations in every area. The place was spacious and super clean and everyone was friendly. The kitchen was clean, organized and huge! Bathrooms/showers were very clean too.

Good place to stay 🙌, breakfast was really good.

Nice kitchen for a hostel, too many freeloaders, working and visiting the place. Hot tub broken, pool not heated. Old men are either dominating the TV watching 40yr old movies or youngsters playing video games. Not enough bathrooms . Staff apart from the cleaning women are a bunch of boring gen Zers obsessed with other people's food.

Thank you . It was a very welcoming place.

Overall good stay

Stayed with my 15-year-old daughter (hostel stays with her sometimes). This place is covered in gorgeous art, the staff are more than welcoming, the facility was so clean, our room was comfortable. The other guests were friendly. It was basically perfection.

I love this hostel and I like the fact they’re located in a quiet neighborhood but still central to go to Ocean beach. Staff are friendly and the hostel is very clean. Def coming back to stay here in the future.

You see what you get in the photos. Everyone is nice. Use common sense and you won’t have issues. I say that because it’s not a hotel; it’s a hostel. This was my first hostel experience and I was pleasantly surprised. I grew up in the area, so I’m a little biased and know what to expect from the neighborhood. The staff is nice and your basic needs are met. The breakfast was a bit of a disappointment, but also, you’re only paying $30-something to ~ $46 per night to stay in a beach town neighborhood. Notes: - bring your own blow dryer and toiletries. Towels too (they charge $5 for towels and they aren’t that big). - dress warm at night because it’s by the beach and the windows are open (long sleeves and sweats). - they have quiet hours. The only noise that woke me up at night was the temperature and hearing airplanes. I closed the window the next night when a roommate said she was cold too. I also brought ear plugs and headphones. - the blanket and sheets are thin. Again, dress warm and cozy at night. - surprisingly big kitchen and big fridge. Go to the grocery store and cook there.

This was my first time staying at a hostel. I would definitely do it again.

A less expensive alternative to hotels, this place was friendly, not especially clean, and had a diverse client base. The kitchen was large and had space for your food. Pleasant outdoor seating areas. They organized a few group events that were fun. Don’t rely on any off-street parking, but it’s not too hard to find a spot in this residential neighborhood. Public transportation (bus) not very convenient but downtown not far if you have a bicycle.

Hébergement très simple mais avec le confort nécessaire. Petit déjeuner compris dans le prix. Ambiance agréable et personnes accueillantes

Nice check in breakfast and clean safe environment
