This place was a lucky find. Very friendly community, clean and colorful, and hospitable. Great for a first visit to the city. Close to airport too. Staff was responsive and helpful. Please be aware that this is a hostel with shared rooms and bathrooms, but it is a delightful spot for the single traveler.

Very clean and I felt very safe. There are a number of rules but all meant to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and the rooms as well. Great little pool and jacuzzi. Surrounding area is a little slow but a quick drive to balboa park and cheap Uber to downtown SD. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend.

Nice place, but a bit expensive for what we got. We had a private room, but it didn’t keep much noise out. Noisy night, including a guest crying in the bathroom on a long phone call. Hope everything turned out okay for her!

Came to San Diego for the first time for a wedding and heading back home the next day. I've never stayed in a hostel before and didn't know what to expect. this place was awesome, all staff are super friendly, guests were also very friendly, the room had 4 bunks, bed was actually very comfortable, and lockers to keep stuff safe (although i felt very safe here). they provided breakfast, there's also a supermarket a block over, down the main street there's a bunch of coffee shops, small restaurants, and corner stores. the area was very nice! i can't think of any negative thing about this place. the planes are kinda loud but being close to the airport is super convenient. i will definitely come back next time i come here!

The place was excellent and so was the staff. The only complaint I have is that when I went to get into my bed, someone was in it and my pajamas were under the pillow and could not get it. So I had to sleep in another bed in my underwear. I guess it was a Logistics error but there was nothing to do but just take whatever the Hostel gave me. I did not find resolution to be as effective as iot should had been.

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.

Staying in a hostel was on my bucket list and at 55, I finally checked it off. This is a really nice place. I stayed here twice this week. Breakfast was even really fresh... The outdoor area cannot be beat! I don't think I'll ever stay anywhere else when I visit my son in San Diego.

Great hostel for a great price!
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!
