Little piece of heaven!!
First hostel turning age 60 soon!! Loved it! Great space! The only problem was that a Bay Arean who was exiled with her grandkids in San Diego Cty from 2016-24, left in 2024 and is now back for 3-4 weeks and then will head back home to the Bay was not able to continue staying due to ID with SD county address. Total shame and exclusionary. I get that it’s an industry standard but it would have been great to continue on! Great kitchen!! Great amenities! Staff was great! Recommend!!!

I can't begin to say how much I enjoyed staying at California Dream OCEAN BEACH! It far exceeded my expectations! From top to bottom, a truly exceptional stay. To begin, the staff was universally welcoming, helpful, and friendly, always acting to make everyone's experience excellent. The facilities (hot tub, pool etc) were like a plushy hotel, the kitchen well-stocked and easy to work in, & my room very comfortable. The cleaning staff did a terrific job of keeping the place incredibly clean--much appreciated! WONDERFUl!

Boa Estadia e em Boa Localização
A localização é excelente muito próximo a praia e ao pier. Um lugar lindo para passear, fazer exercícios físicos, muitos bares e restaurantes próximos para todas as opções e é possível fazer tudo a pé.
Fiquei no quarto compartilhado para 10 pessoas, a cama era boa e o banheiro grande e bom também, porem o acesso se dá por trás do hostel em acesso externo, de certa forma isolado.
Minhas ressalvas são as seguintes: na busca havia colocado em estabelecimento com estacionamento, o hostel possui estacionamento atrás, porém ele só pode ser utilizado por hospedes de quartos reservados segundo a recepção, dessa forma tive que retirar o carro e deixa-lo na rua onde não há placas de restrição. Como é área de praia há momentos de dificuldade de encontrar vagas e uma das noites tive que deixar a 2 ruas de distancia. Outro ponto é o local para guardar a mala, ele é pequeno, cabe exatamente uma mala de mão na medida de 10kg e para trava-lo é necessário comprar/alugar o cadeado no hostel se você não tiver e só cabe o cadeado do tamanho grande.
Informações que precisariam ficar mais claras na minha opinião.
De qualquer forma o hostel é bem similar ao anunciado nas fotos. Coloco uma foto da entrada, pois no dia tive dificuldade de identifica-lo.
É possível também fazer a reserva de bikes, pranchas e outros equipamentos no próprio hostel.
Foi a minha primeira estadia em um hostel, fiquei 2 dias.
