California Dreams Hostel - Ocean Beach

No pets allowed.

It was a dream come true since it was clean, spacious, quiet and comfortable, and priced right.

Other guest would tear through my labeled food bag in the fridge

I really enjoyed my stay here. Friendly staff and guest. Good breakfast. I slept well. Shopping and bus lines right around the corner.

The location was great especially if you have a car. Still a few miles from the beach but peaceful location and hostel. Street parking usually not that hard to find. Walking distance to some cute restaurants. Curtains for each dorm bed! The restrooms were generally kept clean. Some of the staff was amazing and very friendly. Decent security with key card access. Simple breakfast included. WiFi worked well in the dorms. I’d stay here again. This place is a very good value.

Mostly it was great! But minor areas for improvement are just adding a trashcan to the dorm rooms. Some staff could be better trained on general knowledge on what to do in the area. They couldn’t answer fairly simple questions and instead of giving suggestions just told people to look at the brochure stand. Not the fault of the hostel but someone stole my properly labeled food within 12 hours and left the empty bag in the back of the fridge. Not sure what can be done but this is never happened above me before and the hostel was fairly empty when I stayed

Surrounded by a quiet neighborhood. It is easy to find parking. 25 minute walk to the beach. Large kitchen and an outdoor grill.

The coffee was no bueno.
