Wonderful hostel. Great location - could see the beach from my window. Staff were extremely helpful with everything from arranging airport shuttles to directions for locations around L.A.

Could do with free internet access, otherwise the current system will drain your bank account.

Great location, right on venice beach. Better to stay here than in hollywood. Hollywood gets old after a couple of hours, but the ocean is always great. Nice breeze from the ocean keeps room cool. No elevator! Four bed girls dorm was actually five, they added a really uncomfortable cot. It was really great having the washroom per dorm. Would definitely come back.

They said no dice, then took forever confirming the cancellation of my reservation. I then booked a room that had no problem accepting my US ID.
