California Dreams Backpackers Hostel was opened in 2017 with the goal of giving those traveling through San Diego an opportunity to meet and connect with their fellow travelers. We worked very hard to see our dream of opening the hostel come to life and we strive every day to create the best experience possible for our guests. California Dreams hopes to show San Diego what a real, international hostel experience is truly like. We are an independent hostel and believe in supporting our local Pacific Beach community which we have grown to love throughout this journey.
