Pros: The hostel is very nice, with lot of beautiful space of common area, the courtyard is amazing. Staff is very nice, always with a smile!

Overall good stay.

Pros: I got the room as soon as I recharged and it was around 10 AM and checking time was 3 PM. Very polite and nice behavior of front desk staff. Location is very good. Walkable distance from Santa Monica downtown metro and Pier.

Cons: Bed was bit noisy and uncomfortable to go up and came down.

Perfect location, excellent value for LA.

Pros: One of the best hostels we’ve stayed in. Private ensuite was perfect for our family of four. Amazing location with Santa Monica pier so close and third avenue with shops and eateries. Staff were so helpful, allowing us to shower and store bags before check in. Great accomodation.

I really enjoyed my stay!

Pros: The kitchen is fully functional and recently renovated and clean. It really stood out. I loved the pool table in the lounge area too. I also liked that my plane got delayed by one day and they let me readjust my check in day. Thank you!!
