Everything was great! The hostel is located in a beautiful quiet area of ​​Los Angeles, not far from Downtown. But I still recommend renting a car, since the distances in LA are huge between the main attractions. The hostel also has excellent internal parking for your car and this is another huge plus! During my stay, I met wonderful people, it was very interesting to listen to their life stories and why they ended up in LA at a certain moment. My special respect and gratitude to the hostel owner Victor and his brother for their hospitality, good mood and wonderful evening conversations in the lobby with delicious coffee. I will definitely come back here next time! Big hugs to you, my friends.

It was in a very neat house with many areas for chilling! Super close to Hollywood Boulevard and quiet enough to enjoy some down time away from the noise. Pedro was so helpful and happy to give us tips around the area.

I was attacked and attracted by this place the moment I stepped in! The vestibule (waiting area) was the first thing made curious to go in and check what’s behind this amazing wood door! The entrance hall took back to 70s; the vintage wallpaper retro orange flock on gold (baroque period) WOW! Very selective pieces, furniture and everything!!! Cats lover for sure, many interesting stories on walls inside frames! I would live here for sure hahahaah Love it, and you should visit it

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

    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!
