2nd floor does get loud because of the bars around. But the hostel has free ear plugs. Hermosa Beach is so close which is awesome. Hostel has events every night if people wanted to participate which is nice.
If youre looking a for fun,foodie and a beach within feet. This is your place. Especially if youre into the night scene or going to a concert/festival. Youll find others to join. Best for solo or couple travelers as they have private rooms as well. I had a great experience and would travel here again.
It was amazing the guys from the office were so nice and helpful and fun it made every minute of the day a joy, the location in amazing there is fun litterally on the street and the beach just a minute walk away, could not ask for better.

It’s noisy during the midnight party and mosquito inside the room to wake you up.
This place was incredible. It’s our first time staying at a hostel but we had our own room. Being able to stay on the beach was such a cool experience and walking down from your room to hear local talents singing or over to Hennessey to enjoy incredible food. It was a great experience!
Front desk lady seemed totally uninterested like a robot. The man was cool. The room was messy, and room cane with a drunk in it whovdidnt remember precious night. Cancelled my stay and got full refund back which i am thankful for. Just was not for me.
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The property is a little outdated.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 The kitchen and common area is also outdated but for the overall price it was well worth it.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.
