All good.Excellent location

Somehow a nightwatchwoman snuck in to the batch and ruined my trip and others, thinking she could be officious, rude and a warden of a jail that she always wanted to become. Fire all non-empathetic negative rude staff. It makes a difference says a Lifetime frequent travelling member.

Facilities were good. Liked that they had evening events. Cool that it has a comedy club attached. Location is in a good area, so good to go out in the evening. Metro nearby Very little. Location is a way from Hollywood and Downtown, but still feel it's the best location for a budget traveller.

I stayed at this accommodation from September 11- 14, 2026, and as a solo traveler, I can highly recommend it. The location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk to the beach and a supermarket, in a safe neighborhood with plenty of dining options. The staff were very kind, friendly, and helpful throughout my stay. The facilities were also great, with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable common areas. The shared bathroom was always clean, as were the rooms. The hostel also offers plenty of activities and opportunities to meet other travelers and socialize. I really enjoyed my stay here. Thank you for a lovely experience! I also really appreciated the possibility of extending my stay. Everything was perfect.
