California Dreams Hostel - Pacific Beach

The beds have curtains for better privacy. Fairly easy parking, continental breakfast included bagels & cream cheese, cereal with almond milk. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Shower leaks, doesn’t shut off completely. Breakfast ran out of milk and juice by 9:30am one day. Only 1 shower/toilet next to the bedroom, although there’s another 2 doors down. Upper bunk ladder is difficult to use with bare feet, I wish it had wider and flat steps instead of small round bars.

The staff were so nice and friendly, everything was clean and the overall vibe was just chill and laid back. Perfect for a weekend getaway to spend time on the beach. Tons of great restaurants and activities nearby to keep you entertained all day.

The bathroom situation was a little difficult to deal with since there are only two toilets and it can get busy.

close to the beach.

the room was small, but the bunk bed was spatious.

The location is good.

The staff attitude. They are not friendly and some of them the volunteers were even mean. They stay with the guests in the same rooms and give guests an attitude as if it is their room by sighing even if the guests make noise not more than 8 pm which is not their policy. Also, one of the volunteers misinformed me about the number of available beds on their premises. Then, I booked through booking and it went through. However, they said that it was a 'software' or 'system' issue. Also, they put parking signs behind the property in irrelevant places(parking lots for people with disabilities) and invade some other parking lots to keep other people away including you if you are not renting a private room.
