EXCELLENT LOCALE FOR TOURISM. SHOPPING, BEACH, ENTERTAINMENT ETC.

Great location, great free breakfast, good laundry facilities. Nice and helpful staff- gave us information about the area and were friendly. Double deluxe room was spacious and comfortable.

As it is located beside the busy venice street, it gets loud at night time, especially during weekends. Bit of an odd smell in the room, which we felt got onto our clothes.

The staff were super helpful, lovely & accomodating. They even gave me mace to walk around at night as I didn’t feel safe. Honestly they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable as they could see that I wasn’t.

Location felt very unsafe. it's sketchy af. Anyone who says the homeless are harmless well that’s untrue, was attacked by one a few months prior in LA, in broad daylight. Place is quite dirty& smelly. Nail clippings on floor, hair on sheets, smelly pillows, clogged drains, sticky surfaces, mouse trap in the kitchen, furniture that looks like it died 100 years ago. Place is also loud from street noise, so any review that states that they ‘stayed with their kids & it was clean & quiet’ well I guarantee that’s not a real guest. Never leave bad reviews but I’m hoping that they take action on what needs updating. Also want to warn other solo female travellers about safety. Can’t even say you get what you paid for cause this place is expensive for what’s offered ~ Over $120AUS a night! For not much more you can get your own hotel room. As for the included breakfast well it's a nice touch but won’t appeal to healthy eaters.

location

couldn’t stay longer

the service is great! the most friendly people work in this places. everything I asked was provided. very thankful. of course the location is the best! ocean view, food places around and historical building that cares Venice Beach history

nothing

Location is perfect, you can see the ocean by the balcony. My shared room was cleaned everyday and was super super clean. Also the bathroom. Good space, big windows. There's a balcony outside where you can buy your own drink and smoke cigarettes. Is the nicest place because is where I've met a lot of travellers from all around the world. Made a lot of friends.Our nights aways finished there. Yoshi is a really nice guy, and the staff is really good, specially Asha, Zane and Carell. They help you with everything and make all possible to make you feel comfortable. I loved the place, it's a big hostel. I have been in US for a month and this was the best part of my trip! definitely will stay there again when I come back!

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

the bed was incredibly comfy!

nothing to note

- The location is good IF you are in the mood for partying, because there was music loud until very late and I couldnt sleep.

We didnt like many things: - The room was not as confortable as expected. - Something that really made me mad was that we left all our food in the fridge and the next day we left at 6h30 to go to Universal Studios and the kitchen was closed!!!! Nobody told us it opened only at 8am. In the end, we had to have breakfast in a café and I spent 20 dollars unnecessarily. I don't understand why closing the kitchen. AND also you can't take food upstairs to the rooms. So I guess the hostel wants us to plan our day based on their schedule or eat outside? So frustating. - The location is also REALLY NOISY. We just wanted to sleep but the music stays very very loud until late in the night. We didn't like it, but I guess it depends on the person. - I dont think the price we paid to stay there was worth it. Besides, the parking fees around the area as REALLY expensive so we paid 87 dollars to leave the car for 2 nights in a parking lot in the area. Which was REALLY expensive. In the end, we left the hostel to go to a hotel and it was cheaper since parking was free (and the accomodation much better).
