The hostel is a rare find if you want value for money in terms of accessibility and places to see. Seriously, it is right in the heart of LA. In 4 days, I traveled all the way to Pasadena, Santa Monica, Long Beach, and many more just because public transportation was accessible and I could always find a train back to this hostel. You can not expect a full-fledged 5-star treatment at this price but it certainly offers you a lot if you are traveling light. Downside? The beds really need some refurnishing, they creak a lot even with the slightest movements. One thing I would really appreciate is if they did not charge 7 bucks for that lock/key. That felt like a rip-off. But overall, a good experience I would say. Would recommend.
