Unbeatable location - even tho its an hour bus ride to down town there is so much more happening on Venice Beach than down town itself and staff will organise tours to the big LA sights for you. We had a really dark dingy room with no sunlight although it was fine for sleeping - we got very cold during the nights. Although staff were generally very willing to help a couple were not particularly friendly. The place was kept very clean. I would definitely recommend to everyone - only one thing I would change - stop smoking in the communal lounge.

you see the ocean from your window, which is great. there are fun spots nearby, restaurants and stuff like that. good to stay here if you`re on vacation and don`t want to spend much money on accomodation. there`s a well equipped kitchen in the hostel but unfortunately only two restrooms on each floor, which might be a problem in case the cotel is full. and sometimes you wake up to the sound of a hoover, there are no `official` cleaning hours.

Location is great but also the rooms and bathrooms were nice and spacious. Cleanliness is excellent. For anyone with a car, there is ample free parking located a few minutes' walk away. In short, an excellent choice for LA!
