First of all, the staff were SO NICE! Very helpful and accommodating, gave great recommendations - upon arrival I received many pins on my Google Maps. When I needed a room change due to having to complete some work (would rather work on a desk in the hostel) - they happily helped me and charged the difference. The kitchen is great, free tea and coffee, clean, the hostel itself is super cozy.

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.

    The location was excellent - right near the beach, and also close to public transport and bus tours. There were plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. As a solo female, it felt like a great area to be in. The staff were incredibly helpful, and I was able to store luggage for the day after checking out. Breakfast was good too, and the events run by the hostel team were good. I'd say if you're looking for a good location to stay in LA, this felt safe and well-equipped.

    The price realted to the ubication was amazing even on december holidays. The place is in front of the Doubly Teather with view to the wall of the hollywood stars. However if you have a bad luck and probably paying the cheapest tariff the room coul be more like a shelter than a hostel with people on drugs. Neverthelss, I asked for a change and the new room was totally different very clean and very confrotable.

    The Hostel is in a great location, especially if you want to spend a few days in LA without a car. It's easy to reach with the Big Blue Bus from the airport and has great connections to the metro trains running downtown etc. It's also great to explore right outside the hostel, Santa Monica is a fun and safe area to stay in.
