A few boards hanging around, wetsuits, sand, and a chill atmosphere. I stayed in the Dorm room and it was perfect! There's about 6-8 beds, clean sheets, and a huge balcony over looking the water. It's such a great place to relax and stare out at the ocean. If you're looking for a laid back atmosphere, clean bed, and interesting people - this is the place. Ian is helpful and Charmagne is a super awesome surf instructor! It's a pretty relaxed vibe so if you're looking to party, you're in the wrong spot. Ian sells beer and you can totally enjoy yourself, but this isn't Rosarito or TJ. It's a small town nestled between the highway and ocean. Very cool.

The hostel is on the hillside, so there is an unobstructed view of the ocean from every room, and the sunset plays out each evening for the guests relaxing on the covered porch. The owner is a friendly lady named Maria. She will greet you with a smile when you ring the bell at the gate, and will prepare a delicious breakfast in the morning. The rooms are clean and cozy, decorated in an artistic Boho style. There are four beds to a room. Two outdoor showers with hot water. The kitchen has a helpful bookcase full of travel books. There is parking inside the gate, although you can easily walk to the main road where you will find restaurants and a convenience store. If you are looking for a quiet spot, away from the tourist traps, then this is the place.

Even the restaurant was pretty good (although going down to puerto nuevo street is objectively better) But I just couldn't fly with the fact there was a giant hole behind our TV that let into the adjacent room, I thought I was going crazy or the tv was malfunctioning but it turns it it was just the tv noise from the room next door. I stuffed the hole with a hand towel and slept with my airpods in but that was just inexcusable. Definitely hope to have better luck in the future, would be happy to try again. And yes this place is 1000% FAMILY friendly so if you dont like kiddos at play, stay away.

So many bathroom in this hostel, one in room and another 2 each floor. Kitchen: this area is big and comfortable with all of stuffs you can use. Open 24 hours, whenever you feel hungry you can make some foods. Hot water, coffee machine,....always ready for you. Laundry: $1 for wash and $1 for dry. Only quarter so you can get change at cashier. A little but old system but good condition and working very well. Customer service: They have so many people who work as a receptionist at different time. I lived here 2 weeks and met all. All of them is friendly, kindly, helful and professional. Impressive work!!! Price: Im pretty sure you will get cheaper price when you book the room at this hostel, or on official hostel's website more than on any online app. And cheaper if you book on weekday compare to weekend.

We were provided with bedding and towels. The rooms were large and there was a ton of bathrooms. The beds were pretty comfortable. Was happily surprised by the amenities - a game room and a movie room and a really large kitchen. Also a perk that they had free breakfast. Only complaint is that they don't have a heater on in the hallways so it's freezing. Also it's not very soundproof so it's very loud being so close to the gas lamp quarter.

There are also dorm rooms with bunk beds and shared bathrooms. The common area is nice with a large couch, a kitchen for cooking and storing food and a TV. Pacific Beach is a few steps away with plenty of dining options around. I had a nice time here. You can't beat the price to stay so close to the ocean. The staff was great and gave me a tour of the facility when I arrived. You can rent equipment like surfboards, bikes, skateboards, beach towels, etc from the front office. California Dreams has everything you need to make your beach experience fun. They also run a coffee shop outside in the mornings.

The staff was very friendly. Asked purpose of visit. Fully explained all amenities. Gave complimentary ear plugs. I was a little worried about finding parking at 11pm. But there were a ton of spaces everywhere. I would definitely come back here again.

Theres a break out front and some breaks to the north. I booked this spot on Airbnb in July and it was perfect for a young group of people.

The facilities are clean, and there is a convenient room for showering, storing boards, and wetsuits. We will definitely consider staying here again

I did not expect to enjoy this place as much as I did…read more I've only stayed in one other hostel before--a hostel in Zurich, Switzerland--so it was hard not to compare the two experiences. This hostel sits right on the beach and boardwalk and is known for its lively, social atmosphere. I was originally hoping for something a bit more peaceful and restful, but I ended up loving the energy. In terms of cleanliness, it doesn't quite measure up to my experience in Zurich. However, that shortcoming is easily overshadowed by the incredible ambiance and stunning location. The sound of the ocean waves alone is enough to melt away stress. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by friendly faces. The hostel feels like one giant living room filled with friends from all over the world. Conversations happen naturally, and everyone seems relaxed, welcoming, and carefree. It's genuinely amazing how easy it is to connect with people despite language barriers or age differences. The accommodations themselves are simple--basic bunk beds and shared bathrooms--but comfortable and clean enough. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves and waking up to a cool ocean breeze was pure bliss. If you're looking for luxury, this probably isn't the place. But if you're looking for atmosphere, community, and an unbeatable beachfront experience, it's hard to beat.

After staying downtown all weekend, I wanted a more quiet and calm spot for my last night in SD. I booked through Priceline and prepaid my stay for the night at $41 in an all female 6-bed dorm. Mark greeted me upon my arrival early Sunday evening. He was kind, professional and informative. We actually are both from the same home state, coincidentally. After checking me in, he gave me a tour. . The place is huge and very clean. Very much donned in a surfer bohemian aesthetic. They have surfboards for rent, but extra towels, blankets and yoga mats are free to use at will. There's a tv room that leads to the courtyard/lounge and kitchen areas. Plenty of seating either on small tables, benches or the patio couches. There's also a hammock, a front porch with swing chairs, a bar, & vending machines. A couple of clear door fridges are in the lounge area and duplicate in the kitchen. There are top left shelves designated to abandoned foods that are up for grabs. The kitchen is like an island surrounded by the lounge, courtyard and downstairs dorm hall. This arrangement allows the kitchen to remain open 24 hours as the dorm hall side is closed off with a sliding door. Most hostels close their kitchen at night to not disturb other guests, but this is most convenient. They also offer free tea accesible 24 hours and free breakfast from 7am-9am. . There are several single occupancy restrooms and two communal ones designated for men and women. My room was tight quarters, but overall functional. There's a nook with an overhead light next to the bed and adjacent to an outlet. The room has a big window which my fellow roomies did the right thing and opened it wide. The room also has a mirror vanity and sink which was helpful if I didn't want to go out to the hall to use the restroom. The sheets were clean, smelled phreshly washed and the blanket was thick and warm. . It's also not far from downtown. I commuted there via the trolley and the bus which took about 45 minutes. You can cheat the system and take an Uber part of the way to or from Old Town (the bus leg of the trip). I would definitely stay here again and hope to have more time in Ocean Beach. There are many restaurants, cafes and shops nearby and literally steps from the water. If you need quality accommodations, in a great location on a budget, Samesun will get the job done! . Sidenote: There are only stairs inside and outside of the building.

I was truthfully very scared to make this decision, but it ended up being the best one ever. If I ever stay in San Diego for work again, it'll be here. It felt like I was in college again! I felt safe. I felt secure. The environment was SO welcome and friendly. The staff were extremely helpful. The location is unbeatable. I went to the beach to watch the sunset every night. Then I went back and got work done in the common area while eating dinner. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. Yeah, I was in the top bunk of a tiny bed. With 6 other girls. But they were super respectful. It was quiet. Charging plugs attached to the bed. For what you pay, it's so worth it. Hostels aren't for everyone I'm sure, but I had such a wonderful experience. I can't wait to go back!
