This hostel was really clean and pleasant. The shared bathrooms were spotless, and the shared kitchen was very well equipped. I actually regret staying here for only one night during my trip to LA🥲🥲 If I ever travel to LA alone again, I would definitely stay at this hostel again😀 The staff were very friendly. On the first floor, there is a shared kitchen and a laundry room ( with both washers and dryers), as well as a space where you can play pool and board games.

Awesome stay, located in a very convenient and accessible area. There’s so much to do and see in the area. The hostel itself was very clean and the facilities were well taken care of. I was also glad that I was able to use some facilities even after checkout (but before 10pm) since I had a very late night flight. Overall, if im ever in the area or have a long layover I’ll definitely stay here again. Courtyard was a nice area. Staff was so friendly too. Thank you!!!

It was a really clean and satisfying stay! Since check-in started at 3 p.m., I left my luggage at the accommodation and went for a walk along the beach. I wish I could’ve stayed longer, but if I come back again, I’d definitely love to stay here once more.

I've stayed in many hostels, but this one was by far the cleanest and a really fun place, thanks to the events they hosted. The cleanliness was outstanding.

Of the places I've stayed in LA – this hostel and the Samsun Hollywood Hotel near the Walk of Fame – this one is simply miles better. It's incredibly clean, feeling even cleaner than many hotels. Absolutely fantastic, I highly recommend it!

Considering how ridiculously expensive things can be in the US, this place includes breakfast, is right on the beach, and even has a kitchen for cooking. What more could you possibly ask for?!
