  • Engine customer May 2026

    The facility is in an amazing location and they provide everything you need, such as towels, washer and dryer, shampoo, conditioner and body soap! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need and the beds are super comfortable and private!! Can’t recommend it enough

    Staff super friendly; location is mesmerizing; the house is wonderful.

    Also, running a fan (or two) in the common areas might help absorb some of the noise at night. The high ceilings and walls do not. People should be able to talk quietly at 8AM in the kitchen or at the breakfast table without the manager making a small issue of "Quiet Hours" - wasn't a big deal and he was polite. However, It's 8AM. We weren't laughing or carrying on or anything like that. Just trying to talk in hushed tones between two people. Cooking eggs and bacon was louder than the talking. Odd how cooking hours don't match quiet hours. Either change the hours or do more to mitigate reverberating noise. 8AM is normal business hours... Maybe add curtains to the sleeping hours that are drawn during quiet hours. Fans. Sound absorbing artwork on the walls. There are things that can be done.

    The ocean front balcony, vaulted ceilings & sleep pods! It’s “higher class” with 3 sets of computer monitors and strict rules! I liked it a lot I would stay a minimum of two nights to really feel it Not as “Open” at the other “party hostel” (we had access to the property all day long as well as the showers) down the beach, NOT here, and you have to pay $30 to hold your luggage, other place was free…. Both have stairs you are required to climb… these people are “higher class” and have strict rules! Oh no checkouts on Saturday! I wanted to extend my stay but couldn’t unless I stayed 2 more nights

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Very clean in general, well located, with everything needed for a comfortable stay - much better experience than in a regular pod hotel Some patrons were not careful after using the shared facilities, which has nothing to do with the staff or facilities

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    The house keepers B an v keep our beautiful house very clean

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Shoutout to Rosie for doing an amazing job on keeping the place clean. I’ll Definitely be back soon.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    My favorite part of the property was the location, but I really liked staying in a pod too. The managers are very friendly and helpful. The only thing that was a little bit strange to me was sharing a common bathroom with men. But honestly I think that’s my own hangups. It wasn’t dirty or anything.

    Great hostel in great location. It has anything that I needed, clean and quiet. Capsule bed is something to get used too if first time, but it gave me a needed solitude. There is also a kitchen with all the expected things. Safe. Can't say that there was anything specific. all the space was well prepared and I didn't have any issues. Maybe a bit too cold at night, but that depended on a weather. Air flow in capsules can be worked on / improved.

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    I arrived to the property 5 min before check-in realized there is no way to enter the property. I called the number listed in booking. Very rude man told me I have to send msg and wont be help through call or at the property. Didnt care that Im standing already infront of it. He never pick up the phone again! I send him msg through booking when he replied I have to send msg to the number I called. After I did he text me to send picture of booking confirmation and my ID. I did. Then he want me to send it again to strange email, that he can approved it through the msg ( even he want me to do so). This all was really slow communication from his side spread to 1,5h me still standing infront of the property. After I decided to call booking costumer service. Then it took another 45 min to approve my cancellation and refund, because they need to give him a chance to reply. The owner had never intension to check me in just wanted to keep me hooked on very slow replies spread into hours. This need to be taken off the booking.com DO NOT BOOK THIS STAY and read other bad reviews.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    Amazing location. Amazing people living here. Amazing facilities. Run extremely well. Lovely people here. Lovely chill vibe. Probably going to spend longer in LA because of how comfortable I am here. Don't bother considering anywhere else. Zero negatives for this place.
