It's comfortable and cozy. The location is perfect a one-minute walk from the Walk of Fame. The kitchen is organized and the bathrooms are clean. We like the vibe of the hostel, it's vintage but well-looked after.

I stayed in this hostel when it was named the walk of Fame hostile back in 2017 and I was really impressed because you do have lockers that will fit a small suitcase even an expanding one plus extra height on there. They’ve added curtains around the bed for extra privacy, which I think is a fantastic thing and both genders have their own floor for bathroom and shower facilities. I don’t remember the changing room in my room before but it was a different room. I was in room 29 originally which didn’t have it but the lockers were kind of in a separate part of the room to the beds so I think each room has its own layout. I like the shelf and the light for the bed with the charge ports which were really handy and the only thing I disliked was the stairs going up and down - which are not the most user-friendly if you’ve got heavy luggage. However the pros so much outweigh the cons this is a minor inconvenience. The staff are absolutely fantastic and the location is a*. I would definitely stay here again.

The location is great, right next to ocean. Outside doors get locked, so there are no straingers in the building, its good and safe. The view from the room to the beach and ocean was great too!! If you are travelling to see the ocean and have fun at the beach, then its a great stay, definately! But you better know that its way too far from for example Warner Broth studio, which is located at totally other part of LA. So you have to know where you want to stay more - by the ocean or by Hollywood area.

    This is by far the best hostel I've ever stayed. It's so clean, friendly and cosy and you can tell the staff take great pride in it. If you're looking for a quiet place in a great location look no further. I'd like to thank Pedro, Bea and all the staff who made my stay so memorable. Everyone was so friendly, cheerful and always willing to help. They made my stay so enjoyable and I can't thank them enough. Already looking forward to my next stay! :-)

    Great location, spacious room and big lockers, spacious bathroom and pretty clean, good breakfast, nice common areas, a lot of activities (I didn't participate but it is a nice option especially when travelling solo). They even provided towels (which is not often the case in hostels). With the reception and the key cards it also felt very safe!
