Lots of nice amenities and is clean. Overall I would recommend but for my particular use, I found it very loud on the weekend. Both nights people were partying, there was a high pitched squealing noise that went on for hours below my room, doors were slamming, people were arriving late. If you have early mornings I wouldn't recommend this place, especially on weekends! ##### Krysta Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angeline Apr 28, 2025 Liked: Amenities This accommodation exceeded my expectations in every area.

Please be aware that this is a hostel with shared rooms and bathrooms, but it is a delightful spot for the single traveler. ##### Timothy Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin Aug 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very clean and had everything you need! ##### Erin Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynda Aug 23, 2024 #### First hostel experience Convenient location close to airport .

We had an amazing experience at California dream Hostel. We stayed in a private room and everything was clean and well organized. Staff was very friendly and helpful as well. Safe area and free parking! The hostel is located close to an airport so we heard planes all the time. The room wasn’t soundproof but that is really the only negative aspect. Overall a great stay! Will definitely visit again! ##### Rebecka Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### susan Feb 3, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness Staff was great. Restaurants are close and very good. Bathrooms needed some tending to. Either leave cleaning supplies in bathrooms so we can clean after use or staff clean more often. ##### susan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma May 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I loved the hostel! The staff was super nice and didn’t mind answering questions or helping you out! The place was a little smaller than I expected but that’s not negative at all!! Super sweet and cosy!! The Pool is for free and the hot tub is super cheap to rent and nice for some down time!! The dorm and bathroom was super clean! ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Mar 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities California Dreams may call itself a hostel, but it's more like a hotel in many ways. Free breakfast, free wifi, pool, willing to hold luggage and help get it to the room, key card locks, and ADA compliant. They even have gender-neutral restrooms on each floor. Only thing that differentiates it is the shared bathroom. The staff were great, especially Sam! We'd highly recommend to anyone. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Brenda Nov 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Too much noise for the plane,etc. ##### Brenda Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Flor Nov 4, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I was never there.

Horrible place drug addicts you would be a fool to stay there! Horribly! ##### ROBERT Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Evelynn Mar 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Evelynn Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Sep 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome Hostel in San Diego in great location!! AMAZING hostel in San Diego just 10-15 minute drive to Gaslamp, beaches, Balboa Park, Zoo. My date and I were in a private room with a king sized bed and mini refrigerator. Everything was clean, the staff were very nice and helpful, the doors are all electronic. There are lockers for guests staying in the dorms/shared bedrooms. They have a large kitchen to store your food and cook with free breakfast items. The bathrooms and showers were very clean and spacious. The whole place feels renovated and updated but people walking the halls and opening doors is loud and can wake you up, so bring your ear plugs (I do this for all hostels). We really liked it and will be back, even for a solo trip. There seemed to only be street parking available so read the signage. Important note: only non-san diego county residents can stay here, you have to show your drivers license or id to prove you live outside SD county. If you only have a passport I believe you need to show your travel tickets (plane/bus/train) to next destination. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Edward Oct 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The house is very Nice & relaxing - location's Amazingly quiet, perfect for a relaxing getaway - the volunteer staff are Wonderfully accommodating - make you feel at home 🙂 ##### Edward Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suan Oct 13, 2025 다 좋았어요 근데 주방 쪽에 날파리가 너무 많아요.. ##### Suan Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Just the place that I needed!
