Good for cheap stay in a prime location. Also, they let me store my luggage for free which was great.Guest review byShaziaSolo traveler
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Excellent - What previous guests thought, 1,990 reviewsThis 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! :-)Guest review bySzanyaSolo traveler

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Excellent - What previous guests thought, 5,462 reviewsGreat 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!Guest review byglobetrotter_1992Solo traveler

Safe parking with good security. Felt safe, and the room is really nice. Would have no problem staying again!Guest review byStephenFamily with young children
- Avg. price/night: $369.52Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.3Very Good - What previous guests thought, 1,086 reviewsWow! Just lovely. A cool vibey hotel with lots going on in the evenings. Great location that felt safe. A short walk to the heart of the touristy part of Hollywood. We walked around until nightfall then got an Uber back to the hotel. We parked in the multi-storey car park on the corner of Argyle Ave and Carlos Ave, which worked out cheaper than hotel parking. We booked a Suite, which was perfect for us and the teens. We requested a roll out bed too as the sofa bed was too small to share. Very spacious.Guest review byAmandaFamily with young children
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.4Good - What previous guests thought, 69 reviewsEverything was fine, but dont expect a hostel vibe like in Asia or Australia where Backpackers come along and chat in the kitchen:) Some of the guest are living long term there and are not really interested in chatting with new people what is totally fine, just to let you know. Also there is not really a common room to relax and chat with others. But if you are looking for a clean, cheap and nice hostel with small dorms go to this place.Guest review byClaraSolo traveler
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Excellent - What previous guests thought, 5,462 reviewsspacious, really safe as you can only enter the hostel with a key. staff clean daily, massive kitchen with plenty of space to cook with multiple people. great location 5 minute walk from the Santa Monica pier, cafes restaurants and shops surrounding with cheap grocery stores around the corner!Guest review bySaskiaSolo traveler
