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.

I love this place! I've stayed in many hostels in Europe, south and north America, and this is one of the top in my list! It's very clean, Pedro was super nice and proactive, the bed are clean. Upon check in Pedro gave me a towel and the bed sheets, all super clean! Shower was amazing! And shower and toilet rooms were super clean. Although it is located right near the Hollywood Blvd, the hostel's location is very quiet at night. It's also safe (I traveled alone, arrived at night), and near everything.

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

    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!
