California Dreams Hostel - Pacific Beach

had breakfast included

room was a bit small

Very friendly and great location to the beach

Parking, but that can’t be helped

The beds have curtains! So nice for privacy when sleeping! It's also right next to the beach. Parking was pretty easy, I was able to park on the same block every time I came home.

The shower needs repair. There is a water leak which has been there since March, still not fixed. One night I tried to shower and had no hot water, maybe because the leak had drained the hot water heater. The beds have a metal panel separating them from each other. If you touch them just barely they make a loud sound like a crashing cymbal, wakes up everyone in the room. The ladder to the upper bunk is round metal bars. Easy to climb with shoes, hard to do in bare feet or socks. Would be great if they had actual flat steps like a real stepladder. Breakfast was good (bagels & cereal), but often ran out of juice and almond milk after 9am.

Very nice and helpful staff, easy check-in procedure, close to the beach and good restaurants

Noise at night
