They provided guided free tours. They suggested several activities that travelers can enjoy. The place is convenient to go shopping, dining, and sightseeing. Their workers are very helpful and professional. And it's always clean especially the common areas.

I booked this hostel as I needed a place to crash for a night due to plans changing last-minute and I was pleasantly surprised the experience was even better than I imagined! A nice, quiet, clean place to stay within walking distance of a mall, lots of places to eat, and Santa Monica Beach/pier. They even had things like towels and beach toys you could borrow for free which I thought was really nice! I was in a shared female bunk room but during my stay there was only one other person there and they left early, so I practically had the place to myself. I appreciated the courtyard and living areas/work spaces scattered throughout the property. Staff were kind and helpful. You can store a bag for $5 after your stay which I didn't mind paying because it was worth the peace of mind. I wouldn't have minded staying here for a few days if I had to. Felt very safe for a female solo traveler. I'll definitely be back if I need a cheap place to crash in LA!

This was the best hostel for this price I have ever seen! Especially considering that it is so close to the beach and pier. The last hostel I went to at this price was basically a homeless shelter.

Didn’t like that I paid the same price or more for the same bed without ever getting a new towel or new sheets. The rooms are hot and you’re not supposed to open the door. No curtains for the bed, so limited privacy. The laundry machines only take quarters so be prepared to use the atm then break a 20 into 5s at the front desk then break that 5 into 20 quarters for your laundry. Great spot if you like being treated like a middle schooler at summer camp. No drinking even in your own single room which the price was $200 for one night. Also, don’t drink on the street because it’s illegal. If you’re at this place make sure you only drink the massively over priced alcohol at the bars. 👍💯 Also, I hope you like sarcastic, nosy management and janitors! Thanks for the blanket, hope it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience.😉

I’ve stayed at this hostel many many times over the years and it is still fantastic! super clean, really friendly staff nice atmosphere. you get a free breakfast, it’s Nothing fancy but it does the trick. I’ve never had an issue staying here. I highly recommended it! My only Disappointment in my last stay after paying for 3 nights I needed to put my bags in storage for less than two hours, and they wanted to charge me for that.
