Nice area right on the sand and around a lot of bars and food places for social gatherings a little hard to find in away but FYI look for the red door lol 😂 but customer service was great and friendly had lots of fun

The property is a little outdated. The smell of it was definitely old ocean sea water as you enter. The kitchen and common area is also outdated but for the overall price it was well worth it. We had gotten the comfort room and it was on the opposite side of where all the pubs are so it was quiet and we slept through the night. The view of our room was awesome. It is convenient as it close to the pier and many of the dining options. Parking wasn’t so bad because surrounding areas had 24 hour parking meters. Honestly the walk was pretty good considering how close everything is to the hotel. They do provide ear plugs for those that I’m guessing are on the side of where the pubs are. Definitely will stay here again in the future! Breakfast options were bread, butter, eggs. You have the option to make what you can with the ingredients that they have or you can buy your own and keep it in a shared fridge in the kitchen if you are booking shared bunks. Our comfort room had its own little fridge that we could put our things in. They did provide body wash and hand soap in our private bathroom which was convenient. I believe they also provide hair dryers but you have to ask the receptionist for it. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure worked well. The way our bathroom was it was a little tight between the toilet and sink but hey everything worked just fine. Thank you for having us! We had a great time!
Thank you for the nice stay. Upgraded from 6 to 4 dorm when needed. Thank you

I reserved the private room shared shower/toilet. The people were very nice. However The bed was held up with duct tape and fell apart as soon as i went to lay down. I toss and turn in my sleep so that wasnt going to work for me even after i tried to re-prop the bed up-this method was only good for visual effect. New bed frames are needed at least for room 203 on this property. Amazon has heavy duty box spring frames for cheap if i may suggest.
Nice place to stay near the beach in Los Angeles if you're trying to save some money.

Budget friendly stay
Nicole was very helpful and nice she made the stay pretty good. ITH is good for travelers on a budget. The place is fairly decent. Would be awesome if the kitchen and dining are are cleaner and doesn't smell bad. I survived so far with the days I was there, I booked the place to mostly sleep and eat breakfast..the view was awesome though being near the beach makes up for it
The ITH hostel is a fun place to meet people visiting from all over the world. It is a great place to socialize and experience Hermosa Beach when you are traveling!
Welcoming staff. Had bread and eggs provides each morning to prepare breakfast.
Access is with code, so no need to be bothered about forgetting the key.
I had a private room, pretty spacious with great view to the beach and sunset.
Just seconds yo walk from beach and some various restaurants. Big grocery shop vons also not far, about 10 min walk.
Connection with Downtown is wishing to be better , in general public transport if LA is pretty bad
