Great place with great wi-fi, shared kitchen, and a picnic area. On my first stay, the staff kindly helped my elderly parents, which I remember fondly. I recommend joining their activities. I'm coming back for a romantic escape.

We had a lovely time in our Double Room, especially enjoying the cozy couches in the lounge and the outdoor dining areas. The vibe was great with afternoon tea and fun game nights. The balcony was perfect for relaxing after a long day. The only hiccup was the breakfast was a bit basic, but honestly, we didn't mind too much! 😊

good stay but cramped space
The check-in process was smooth, even at 3:30 am. The en-suite bath was a pleasant surprise in a hostel setup.
The room felt a bit cramped with three bunk beds.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting with friendly staff, and the events created a fun social vibe. However, the dorms were basic and could get noisy at night. Still, it's in a great location close to attractions, and for the price, it’s worth it!

missingWrote a review on Jul 24great locationfriendly atmosphereinitial impressionpoor maintenance
The location was great. I got to explore so many hotspots and attractions, including the main street. I arrived late, but the staff was welcoming and helped me settle in. My stay was pleasant without any major issues. I appreciated the friendly atmosphere among fellow travelers. I enjoyed being able to meet people who were also exploring this vibrant city. The overall experience made my trip memorable.
The initial impression of the establishment was less than appealing. There was no elevator, which made it difficult to carry my luggage to my room on the upper floor. Some amenities could have been better maintained, and I experienced some inconvenience with the room key at check-in.

I stayed for one night in a bed in the 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room. The atmosphere was fun with a ping pong table and kitchen access. Staff checked me in at 3:30 am, which was impressive. Location was convenient, close to Santa Monica Blvd. I would absolutely return! 🎉

That outdoor area really offers a great spot for mingling with fellow travelers. The free breakfast spreads a nice variety, helping kick off the morning without breaking the bank.
While the hostel’s older character gives it a certain charm, some decor felt dated and could definitely use a facelift to shake off that dingy vibe. The cleanliness in communal areas didn’t quite meet expectations. a lingering odor occasionally took away from the atmosphere, making it hard to ignore that not all common areas feel fresh. I also noticed a serious lack of attention to detail with housekeeping—sheets and bedding could have been cleaner, which isn't ideal for longer stays.
