I loved how big the kitchen , room & common rooms were. It’s cleaner than some of the reviews I had read before booking . I decided to just take a chance and book anyway bc standards are different . I’m so happy I did. The walls are colorfully painted . The all women’s room private bathroom was much bigger than the hostel I previously stayed in and cozy . They provided a space heater bc it gets cold . Its right on Venice Beach. It’s within walking distance to the Bus stop and Uber can pick up right outside the door on the corner !! Staff is amazing !

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.

The bed was super comfy and CJ was very helpful! I booked their ride option that you pay on site and it was $25 less than Lyft which was nice. Lots of food vendors on the same street and a grocery store across the street so food was easy. Felt safe and overall great quality for the price. I come to LA a lot for events and work so will definitely stay here again, especially since it's pretty much walking distance to the forum and hollywood park and the airport. Also when it's summer will definitely be hitting the beach since it's so close. Love it!

The staff organizes fun parties every week for its guests with barbecues and karaoke. The hostel is located in 5-10 minutes from the Hollywood boulevard (which is of course full of strange people). The Hollywood sign is visible from the second floor. There is a karaoke room with AC turned on where I could work and hide from the extreme heat.

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

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. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
