California Dreams hostel is a great place to stay. The staff is very helpful. It is clean and has a large kitchen to make meals. It is in a great location in downtown nearby trolley pickups. The best part is that it is really affordable.

I booked a private room. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Room was great. The AC worked well and the TV with Roku was convenient. No private bathroom or shower but that was mentioned in the booking. The common area bathroom and shower was clean and perfectly fien by me since I saved so much on the room at this hostel compared to hotels (or nearby hostels w/private rooms) in the area. Being right in downtown by gaslamp quarter for the price was geeat! Will definitely consider booking again.
