The one thing you need to know about this hostel is that its miles from LA centre. If you want a beach hostel that most visitors wont know about, then go for this one. In a street that is full of lively parties and mexican restaurants. The facilities are great, showers and rooms shared, and plenty of info going. The... More

I write this post as I am trying to sleep, the music is über loud from the bar down the road. In terms of the room - think: basic, clean, convenient with nice people, hospitality, free wifi & breakfast included, which, speaking as a long term traveller = value ++.

This hostel is in a perfect location. It is about the third building from Hermosa Beach in a party area with many restaurants and bars literally just around it. It is actually located above a pub/restaurant. This is definitely a youth hostel and a party place. It is a good place to meet people. I really liked Hermosa Beach town... More

Our room was given away on the first night so we had to sleep on air beds. Not a great start. Apart from that its clean, friendly and has an amazing location.

Alot of the staff live at the hostel so really staff and people is the same thing, it seemed there was the odd traveller. I stayed here for about a week because of the location,... More

Brilliant hostel. Could do with a sweep under the beds but not dirty. The staff are really helpful and fun. The common rooms are small but everyone hung out together and had fun. Location is fantastic if you want the beach. Close to shops and bars :)
