Its location is magical..for a 4 night stay I managed to get a glimpse of two Movie celebrities right from my hostel window. The streets below hosts movie premiere, if you are lucky like me you snap photos of your favourite celebrities right from the comfort of your hostel. Best Hostel ever

The local, the place, and overall everything. I prefer staying in places that feel more like personal rooms than cookie-cutter hotels and drab furnishings. Great spot close to loads of amenities and easy to navigate around even if you don't know the area. More of a self-serving BnB... . and already booked another stay.

I felt very comfortable and safe in the area. it was very walkable to the subway and had no issues getting around. there’s a 7-11 on the corner that was perfect for quick things. the rooms were quiet, other guests also quiet and respectful, everyone kept to themselves which is more my vibe. the bottom bunk looked more comfortable. only problem with being on top is I didn’t have anywhere to charge my devices, but charged in the morning downstairs. nice organized fridge with everyone labeled their stuff was great. had no issues here, first time in a hostel and I’d definitely stay here next time I’m in LA

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening.

    This is by far the best hostel I've ever stayed. It's so clean, friendly and cosy and you can tell the staff take great pride in it. If you're looking for a quiet place in a great location look no further. I'd like to thank Pedro, Bea and all the staff who made my stay so memorable. Everyone was so friendly, cheerful and always willing to help. They made my stay so enjoyable and I can't thank them enough. Already looking forward to my next stay! :-)

    Great location, spacious room and big lockers, spacious bathroom and pretty clean, good breakfast, nice common areas, a lot of activities (I didn't participate but it is a nice option especially when travelling solo). They even provided towels (which is not often the case in hostels). With the reception and the key cards it also felt very safe!
