It’s kinda weird that you have to wash your own dishes after breakfast. But great that they have breakfast at all!

I’m staying second time at this hostel, it’s beautiful! Clean and comfortable, common areas are great, they even have fireplace in the lobby! They have free events in the hostel for everyone which is nice. The comedy show was really cool! I’m not even thinking of other place to stay in Santa Monica.

As always a pleasure to stay in this hostel. It was my third time.

I feel like HI hostels are usually bigger and more anonymous than small hostels that are not a chain. Everything is regulated, less personal.

Close to the beach and the station. Breakfast was better in other hostels. Facilities are great: Big kitchen, light and sockets with every bed.

Staff could have been abit friendlier and informative.

Fantastic location. Very clean.

I only spent one night in a female dormitory bunk bed with ensuite bathroom and everything was clean, comfortable and safe. The property is a few yards from bus stop 3, connected with LAX Airport. As an alternative, they offer a $ 30 flat rate taxi to the airport. The location is just a few minute walk from Santa Monica Pier. Fresh options for breakfast, also suitable to vegetarians/vegans, are included and a well-equipped full kitchen is available in the common area. Very attentive to waste recycling and environment and to people with reduced mobility. Free entertainment events at the weekend.

Smell of weed in the dormitory unfortunately from one of the other guests

I felt safe. The bed was comfortable. The hostel was warm. There was plenty of communal areas

Stayed in April 2024

The shared bathrooms should be cleaned more frequently, especially during the morning and evening peaks.

The Hostel is located in a nice street, very close to all the main attractions. The room is clean, with large lockers and the common areas are very comfortable.

Very clean place and very friendly staff. This place is run very long time here and very good standard hostel method. No smoking, no alcohol, no drugs. There are 24/7 free coffee and hot water to have own drinks. Huge professional kitchen like real restaurant size. 10 huge refrigerator, stones, ovens etc… Located central Santa Monica, easy to walk to beach day and night. Nice to walk around residential area as well. Also they let me stay lobby area after check out to do some work with wifi and have drinks. Very friendly place to stay. No crazy drunken hostel peoples here. Safe to stay here with kids as well.

The rooms are very small for 4 people but if you have a lot of activities to do you won't be in the room other than to sleep

The space was very comfortable, it's ideal if you travel alone and you don't mind sharing!

Noisy the first night we were there.

Great location, clean facility & opportunity to meet people from all over the world!

I had problems with my flights and didn't arrive for the 1st night. The person on the front desk first said my reservation was cancelled, but he was going to see if could get me a bed to this other night. But then came a supervisor and the reservation was magically on and had to be paid full. It sounded dishonest. I didn't have a prpblem with paying, but the way they told me sounded like they were taking advantage.

Breakfast is good and the place has an industrial kitchen and good common spaces, where people can hang out and talk.

Location, everything was very clean, good breakfast, helpful staff.

The room had a bit of a slightly unpleasant, non-neutral smell. No privacy curtains on the bed

Close to the beach, bedside charging and lamp, organized activities at some days of the week, great location close to the beach.

One can not not like when the lift is out of order. There must be something done about it. And it was.

The dedication. Accessible. Help from the stuff. The warmth of the fireplace as well as this was the place to meet and talk to the people.

I wish the beds has curtains and be more private

Excellent location and very international

Originally booked 4 nights but needed to cancel two of the them. It was within the stated guidelines, but the per-night rate on my remaining nights increased. Only other dislike was my bed...very loud every time I moved. Made me self-conscious so didn't sleep well.

Friendly, helpful staff and great atmosphere. Happily surprised that breakfast was included. Met lots of interesting people and enjoyed the public spaces. First time in a hostel and would definitely consider again. Location has super-close access to beach, restaurants, stores and the Santa Monica Pier.
