Hotels in Pacific Beach - San Diego

Positiv:: Super friendly and helpful staff. Really clean for a hostel with modern bathroom. Location really close to Pacific Beach and also a Ralphs supermarket. Relatively close to La Jolla cove. Clear comfort rules.

Negativ:: A bit far if you want to explore downtown, however bus 30 runs from Old Town Transit Center till ca. 1 am and stops really close to the property. Breakfast is ok, it gets a bit boring if you stay longer.

Positiv:: This is my favorite hostel ever. Everyone from the staff was amazing - sincere, caring, with great energy, engaging. Thanks so much, Pedro, Kristen, Ray & Caleb! The ocean is about 1.5 min from the hostel, and the beach is just beautiful. The vibe is relaxing, it's social, and they also make sure people can actually sleep there ;) I booked for 2 nights initially, but then just kept extending my stay, as it was too hard to leave.

Negativ:: Unfortunately they don't have a garden full of unicorns... I really can't think of anything.

Positiv:: Die Lage unmittelbar am Strand ist für Strandtage unglaublich angenehm, zum Erkunden der Innenstadt jedoch, ist ein dort gelegenes Hostel eher zu empfehlen. Zudem sind die Auswahlmöglichkeiten an Restaurants in der Umgebung wirklich toll, da es für jeden Geschmack etwas zu bieten hat. Der eigene Shuttleservice ist auch ein gutes Angebot, das vor allem was den Preis angeht, im Vergleich zum Taxi deutlich günstiger ist.

Negativ:: Auf den Bildern erscheint die Unterkunft größer als in Echt. Vor allem ein zusätzlicher Raum zum Entspannen und Zurückziehen, außerhalb des Schlafsaals und Gemeinschaftsraums mit Küche, wäre wünschenswert. Das Frühstück beim Mexikaner nebenan könnte umfangreicher sein. Nur zwischen 8.30-9.30 und dann auch nur einen Mini-Burrito mit Getränk ohne Nachfüllen.

Positiv:: It was great to have a small fridge in our room with drinks to purchase and a private TV with Netflix! Staff were SO friendly. Beds were surprisingly comfortable for a hostel. Very clean. Common areas were comfortable. Location can’t be beat — just steps from the beach! Loved the breakfast burritos.

Negativ:: Room would benefit from a bunch of hooks on the walls for hanging towels, swimsuits, etc. (Even just some Command hooks would be great! Would be good to have toilet separate from the shower, but the bathroom is definitely not equipped for that.

Positiv:: -sauber - gute Küche -sehr bequeme Couch und großer Flachbildschirm TV mit Netflix etc

Negativ:: -ein Mini burrito pro Person als Frühstück -nur 2 Toiletten/duschen für das gesamte Hostel die auch noch jeweils im selben Zimmer waren -14 Personen in einem Zimmer -Hostel zu klein um Leute zu treffen

Positiv:: Everything

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Friendly staff, and location. Good venue.

Positiv:: Everything was exceptional. Loved the privacy curtain for every bed!

Negativ:: N/A

Positiv:: Very friendly staff!

Negativ:: The passport requirement even for Americans is awful, but it’s a new San Diego law for new hostels, not the fault of California Dreams

Positiv:: The friendly staff

Negativ:: Nothjng

Positiv:: The entire staff was incredible. Paul and Rico made sure we had a good time and the group events were a blast! The privacy curtain made a huge difference.

Positiv:: Ease of use, quiet, clean. Staff friendly and accommodating. Neighborhood was busy but safe and lots of food and recreation options.

Negativ:: No complaints.

Positiv:: Es war ein Vergnügen mit Bill im Büro Gespräche zu führen.

Positiv:: Das Zimmer war sauber. Das Management war höflich und hilfsbereit der meiste Teil. Der Pool und das Spa waren sehr willkommen und meistens sauber. In der Nähe vom Strand. Betten gut geschlafen.

Negativ:: Das Parken war kostenlos, aber schwer und unzureichend. Wenn es aber voll bis am Wochenende gibt es nicht genügend Parkplätze. Das Personal sagte Pech , es ist der Strand an einem Wochenende! Die Manager und ein viel Ärger zu beheben. Die Extras waren minimal. Bad hatte Geruch nach Abwasser, war eine Stufe in der Nacht, die schwer zu verhandeln. Viel Lärm von der Straße.

Positiv:: Das Personal war großartig! Sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. 1 Minuten zu Fuß zur Promenade, toller Preis. Sauber, aber keinen Fön.

Negativ:: Keine Badewanne, nur eine Dusche

Positiv:: Location was perfect.

Negativ:: I would suggest installing more mirrors, including a full-length mirror in the rooms. One mirror in the bathroom is not feasible for two or more guests. Also, the rooms are very bright due to the parking and street lights. I would recommend curtains in addition to the blinds.

Positiv:: We loved the decor, the people and the location. It was very clean and comfortable. We were very pleased with our stay and hope to return soon!

Positiv:: We had very loud people in the room abobe ours, Bill was great in finding the best solution for us! Great location, great staff!

Positiv:: The location was good but the online pictures were deceiving.

Negativ:: We were kept up all night by the people next door. The walls are too thin and the check in was too late.

Positiv:: Tolle Lage, 50 Meter vom Strand, sehr geräumig und sauber. Liebevoll eingerichtete gemütliche Zimmer. Sehr hilfsbereites Personal. Pool ist geheitzt und gepflegt. Preis/Leistungs-Verhältnis top! Ideal für Familien.

Positiv:: Location is awesome.

Negativ:: The bed was hard as a brick. The bathroom had some mold.

Negativ:: Super kleines Zimmer

Positiv:: The location was great. The rooms are smartly designed and fashionable.

Negativ:: The pull out bed is very uncomfortable. It needs a new mattress very lumpy.

Positiv:: There was a mix up with our room and the owner made everything right! The hotel is close to everything and rooms were very clean.

Positiv:: Clean, extra towels and toilet paper. Kitchenette was a bonus allowing for breakfast in. Great location, close to the beach and restaurants.

Positiv:: We really liked the pool and hot tub area. It’s also in a great location - very close to Pacific Beach. The staff was very friendly and responsive.

Negativ:: It would have been nice to have coffee in our room. The rooms are also very small.

Positiv:: I liked the staff and how clean the rooms were.

Positiv:: The place was beautiful, with amazing oceanfront views.

Positiv:: Location right on the beach and the view was amazing!!! Hot tub and pool area, although a 1/2 block away, were very nice. The full kitchen always makes a week long vacation easier and less expensive.

Negativ:: The only thing we were slightly disappointed about was that there isn't an actual balcony that you can sit on. It's about a one foot patio with a railing. Good thing is you can still open the doors and hear the ocean and even stand on it to look out though. I just pushed up two chairs to the sliding glass doors and we sat in the living room for morning coffee.

Negativ:: All Good

Positiv:: Lovely kitchen with granite countertops. Well equipped with upscale appliances. Nice flooring and stylish and comfortable furniture. Beds comfortable. More than enough room

Negativ:: The only yuck was some cracks in fiberglass tub. Easily forgiven because of the rest being lovely

Positiv:: Beautiful property and location. Penthouse was extremely clean and far exceeded our expectations. Walking distance to beach and bars/restaurants/grocery stores. Would definitely stay here again!

Positiv:: Fantastic location right next to a great beach, with lots of great places to eat within walking distance. Condo was quiet, with gorgeous ocean/beach view. The on-site parking was crucial, because street parking is hard to find. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Kitchen was well-equipped, living room was thoughtfully furnished with two swivel chairs in front of the huge, west-facing window. Bathroom was compact but very clean.

Negativ:: The pillows were surprisingly bad -- hard foam rectangles that were uncomfortable whether you slept on your side or your back. There was free WiFi, but it was so slow, it made 1998 dial-up look fast. Even the weather app on my phone wouldn't load when I was on the WiFi. Sliding screen door was broken and impossible to open more than a few inches.

Positiv:: The view

Negativ:: Condo could’ve been cleaned better. Volume on the TV in the Master kept fluctuating on it’s own between loud and soft. All soft furnishings (bed spread, dust ruffle, draperies, carpets, could all be replaced or at the very least deep cleaned. The screen doors out to the balconies didn’t meet. Balconies and railings were unsafe. The door on the entrance way was scary looking. The outer white door had some sort of stain all over it. The one elevator was shaky, dirty, and had a drop cloth over it. All in all you could tell this property was in it’s hay day in the 70s.

Positiv:: The view was amazing - we were in an upgraded room. We didn't like the first room we saw, but the person in the office gave us keys to see other rooms, and we were amazed at the room we got. Loved the location, the room, the service - we will return.

Positiv:: Love the beachfront location and the condo was clean and had everything we needed.

Negativ:: Parking lot was extremely cramped- if you have a truck or large SUV, you might have to find separate parking. Came back that night and was unable to fit my car in the assigned place even though there were 15 other empty parking spots and had to get an alternate pass for a few days.

Positiv:: The location is great.

Positiv:: the view and size.

Negativ:: one bathroom doorway was moldy, we can't even close the bathroom door, afraid the mold will drop from the top.

Positiv:: -Aussicht -sehr sauber -Pool und Whirlpool -Sicher

Negativ:: nichts

Positiv:: Tolle Lage, gute Preis.

Negativ:: Low Budget.

Positiv:: Super schönes zimmer,sehr sauber und gutes einfaches frühstück.

Negativ:: Beim pool stand,dass er nur für gäste war,jedoch konnte jeder hinein.

Positiv:: Die Lage ist gut, nah zur Beach.

Negativ:: Zimmer sind sauber, aber eher dunkel. Zimmer zur Strasse ziemlich lärmig. Für diesen Preis findet man diekt an der Beach neuere und schönere Hotels. Waren sehr enttäuscht

Positiv:: 2 minute walk to the beach

Negativ:: A/C unit was extremely noisy. Small rooms. Pictures provided by booking.com GROSSLY misrepresented the room received.

Positiv:: The bed was good but because of the air being muggy inside, I had trouble sleeping.

Negativ:: The air conditioning unit didn't work properly and as a result, I got sick. The building on the outside had me worried but the inside was good. We had to fight mosquitos and that worried me because I had my granddaughter.

Positiv:: Nice staff, great location

Negativ:: Sinks smell like sewer, small parking spots

Negativ:: Bugs in room. No choices for moving from buggy room. Manager was rude and unaccommodating.

Positiv:: I was extremely surprised at the proxemity and accessibility to the beach and restaurants. The rooms were very nice. Shower and bathrooms were very good too.

Negativ:: More towels would have been nice.

Positiv:: Great Location!

Negativ:: Smokers next to our room!

Positiv:: Everything!

Positiv:: Convenient location...restaurants..beaches..all within walking distance

Negativ:: Asked for extra bedding and requested was ignored..after going to the help desk, staff members said they would bring to room...never showed up or did they inform us..

Positiv:: Beach haven is a spotless clean fantastically located oasis in a busy resort and the staff can’t do enough to help you. great for large families like mine and couples alike.

Negativ:: I have no complaints at all.

Positiv:: I could see a partial view of the ocean from our room. Plus they had a little patio area set up outside the room to enjoy the view. I liked the shutters on the windows and the proximity to the beach. The toiletry products were nice as they were Bath and Body Works. The pillows and bed were comfy.

Negativ:: There could have been a useful functioning light in the closet which also held the fridge, coffeemaker and microwave. There was a small light that wasn’t much more useful than a nightlight.

Positiv:: Mir gefiel die Nähe zum Strand. Ziemlich sauber.

Negativ:: Das Frühstück war nicht wirklich ein Frühstück, nur Gebäck. Das Bad ist sehr klein mit sehr wenigen Handtuchhalter oder Zimmer um das Waschbecken.

Positiv:: Shows a variety of hotels. Close to beach but not next to it!

Negativ:: After you book a hotel it always shows that hotel with cheaper prices. This really sucks when it is $80 cheaper after you book the same room!

Positiv:: Die Nähe zum Strand und zu den vielen Restaurants und Bars. Außerdem ist der Service sehr freundlich!

Negativ:: Sehr hellhörig im Zimmer! Nachts kaum ein Auge zugemacht, da viele Leute Party gemacht haben. Die Anlage sollte generalüberholt werden, dann ist es ein gutes Motel. Was uns sehr gestört hat, ist die Tatsache dass der Pool, der Safe und die Waschmaschine im Partnerhotel, 2 Blocks weiter ist.

Positiv:: Die Lage ist fabelhaft, das Zimmer sehr groß und vor allem ruhig. Wir hatten eine Mikrowelle, eine kleine Kaffeemaschine und einen Kühlschrank im Zimmer, was sehr praktisch war! Das Personal war sehr sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, hat uns tolle Tips gegeben und auf Nachfrage auch extra Decken und Handtücher. Nur zu empfehlen!

Negativ:: Es hätte im Bad ein bisschen sauberer sein können.

Positiv:: Nice fresh sweet rolls, friut juices and good coffee with real half and half or flavored creamers included. Friendly staff. Least expensive property so close to the beach. Pool at sister hotel within walking distance. Upgraded us for free

Negativ:: Communication between staff members. We were given different information about check out, etc. by different staff

Positiv:: Really close to the beach. Competitive prices for location

Positiv:: Good location close too the beach

Negativ:: Parking was terrible and the pool was at another motel down the road

Positiv:: I like the location. It’s a few steps to the ocean. I like the staff, especially the housekeeping, they’re so friendly and nice. I also liked the lady at the front desk when I first got to the hotel. My flight from New York arrived early. Since I couldn’t check in yet because it was still early, she proactively told me that I can leave my bags with her and come back at 3pm when my room was ready and recommended places to eat around the area to kill time. I didn’t get her name but she was so nice. I got to the hotel from the airport around 1:30pm on July 13, 2019.

Negativ:: I didn’t like that my tv didn’t work when I first checked in into the room. I couldn’t find the remote and I couldn’t call the front desk because the phone didn’t work. I spoke to the lady at the front desk to ask for help (I think she just started her shift because it was a different person) and she was so passive aggressive about the whole situation. Instead of helping me, she gave me 3 remote controls to try out. I asked her to help me and had to convince her to come up to the room with me to see for herself. When we tried out all the remote controls and it didn’t work, I asked her to help me fix the tv and then she said to me: “I don’t know how to fix tvs. Don’t ask me”. So I told her, I just checked in this afternoon and I’m going to be here for a week. I can’t have my tv not working this entire time. She then rolled her eyes and told me, “I’ll call someone now to fix it” and left the room. She never did. I don’t remember her name. This was on July 13, 2019 around 3PM room 221. The next morning, I went to the front desk and told the person that my tv didn’t work. The nice gentleman immediately accommodated me and sent someone to my room to fix my tv.

Positiv:: Close to beach and restaurants

Negativ:: Small, old, floors uneven, not fully stocked, very noisy, too expensive for what you get. Very little parking. Had to park a block away!

Positiv:: Check in staff was amazing. Very friendly.

Negativ:: No microwave in the room. Hairdryer was impossible to plug in where it was bolted to the wall.

Positiv:: That it was close to the beach

Negativ:: The beds a very small.

Positiv:: we liked everything except the parking or lack of. Not having a parking place when we got back from dinner really put a downer on us.Had to circle around and finally had to park on the street.

Positiv:: The location is perfect...literally a few minutes walk from the beach! The room was clean and had all the basics you need. It was a convenient stay for a better price than the other places nearby. I would stay there again if I was in San Diego.

Negativ:: When we checked in the staff member at the desk was quite unpleasant. Normally that wouldn't factor into my review but she literally didn't say hello and then made me feel like I was inconveniencing her by being there...not a great welcome! Luckily the person at the desk in the morning was much more friendly which kind of made up for the person at check-in.
