I really like this hostel Always very clean - kitchen open…read more24/7. front desk 24/7, a lot of art work and colorful deco's. location is easy to get around from. the stuff is a bit (too) reserved but professional. REALLY slow elevator:)) This hostel feels relaxing with a lot of common spaces. doesn't give the vibe of just a "hookup" hostel (unless that is what you are looking for). cool curtains on each bunk bed to allow you privacy when you sleep or using the light when others are sleeping, AC unit in the room, GREAT mattress (less the pillow). already made beds. Personal bed lamp (that actually works) interesting building with "see through" floor between the floors. many (clean) restrooms/showers that also offer you free shampoo/soap dispenser and towels available to use (on the shelve next to the shower) also was nice to see they offer you little recyclable food boxes so you can take the food you made in the kitchen with you. at this hostel you feel that the hostel is for you and not that you are there for the hostel (like some other hostels)

Near by CVS, close to Ralps market, restaurants, bar club.... Room: they clean everyday. They give you shower towel for each bed, also there are a lot of towel in bathroom. 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. Great job Hi SD hostel team!!! Very high recommendation for all of travellers around the worlds!!!!

Went in the off season, super friendly staff and great overall experience. Only critical feedback…read moreis that the hot showers require a trick to use and we ended up taking a sink shower, however the host at the time was more than happy to help show us the trick with the shower when we let him know later that day. Also the phones were not working at the time, which meant we could contact the hostel when we were on our way there. The actual campsite is a fairly large dirt plateau that overlooks the pacific. Insanely gorgeous. You need to carry your gear down to the campsite, but no big deal. Fire rings are available (free). I will be coming back in a month from LA, just to spend the weekend here. It's worth it. $8/person/night when I went. Also- there are two ways to reach to the hostel. 1) stays on a paved road (I've heard) from the local, nearby town. 2) is a dirt road that is insanely beautiful to drive. Not very challenging, 2wd in dry conditions is ok, some ground clearance needed. It's a Jeep road. You might do it in your Toyota Camry, but it would be hell. Spotty cell service, remote road. Rock on, Happy Trails

Great little place to surf, hang out, and relax. Its located a short walk from a beautiful sandy…read morebeach. The place is clean and it's your typical surf house. 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.

This is a charming place just ten minutes north of Encenada. Four blocks from highway 1, which runs…read morealong the shore at this stretch. 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.

She has no experience in martial arts so it's important for her to get good basics and foundation. Her first couple classes she's already learned a few things that will help her in the real world if a situation arises. The teachers David and his son as well as Sarai the female instructor are great. It's not so crowded like other classes I've attended so we get better personal attention from the instructors. They teach in both English and Spanish. There are also kids classes in the evenings at 530 every day that is strictly for kids only. The prices are very cheap compared to the US. Recommend this place to learn self defense if you live around the area or if you're staying at the hostel.

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 staff at the time spoke only Spanish, but luckily we had some speakers in our group to get the check-in info. The facilities are clean, and there is a convenient room for showering, storing boards, and wetsuits. We will definitely consider staying here again

I was first in bathroom when I woke up, so no issues using the bathroom. I slept very well. Woke up twice in the middle of the night, but I'm a light sleeper. Heard light snoring in middle of night. 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.

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.
