This place was great! The staff was super-friendly, the amenities were good, everything was perfect. My only regret was that I was only staying one night!

The place has a lot of character and is about a half hour walk from the beach. Not much to do in the area at night. Most folks just stayed at the hostel talking into the early hours. The neighborhood is safe. If you don't have a car then it's worth hiring a bike to get around easily (they rent them at the hostel). I found Emil to be particularly helpful and knowledgeable, so good job Emil!

We had a really great time at Hostel California... it was the cheapest of all the available hostels and in my experience the best we've stayed in so far... thanks.

This property was very convenient. It is in a great location and has free parking. We had no problems except a bathroom getting fixed. I would suggest bring your own towels.

I enjoyed my stay here. It was so easy to meet cool, friendly people, both guests and staff. It is much farther from the beach though then you're led to think from the add, a 20/30 min walk at least. Lots of typical hostel activities here too! Although, I must say my roommate had her bed break in the middle of the night. It collapsed under her and she wound up on the floor. She was fine though and we all had a great time!

This hostel was pretty decent. Good kitchen facilities. About a 30 min. walk to Venice beach. It's in a little bit of a shady area. You wouldn't want to be walking alone late at night. It could use a few repairs to doors and maybe some better bunk beds. The mattresses didn't quite fit properly on the beds and wooden bunks aren't such a great idea in a hostel. But otherwise it was pretty good. I was only there for one night so I didn't really socialize that much so I didn't quite get the whole ho

There are people living in this hostel as a permanent home. It was quite dirty and the staff was often drunk, but for $15 you get what you pay for. Respectfully, Mark

I don't think it's right for hostels to say that they don't allow Americans to stay in their hostel. I like to know what laws say you can denie me from staying there? I thimk I may sue them.
