I thought it was okay, but I've stayed at better. It's well-located if you're interested in the Venice/Santa Monica aspect of things. Staff were friendly and helpful. Not the cleanest of hostels, but hey, it wasn't expensive so can't expect much! Near Lincoln Blvd where traffic is rather noisy so not suggested for light sleepers.

30 Bed dorm is very good value. It's about a 20 minute walk from venice beach, which is a really nice area. I couldnt see any directions so....... From LAX take the bus to carpark C. Then take bus R3 from bay 12 and ask the driver to stop at corner of Lincon and Venice. From Union station take bus 330 or 33. Get off at corner of Lincon and Venice. The hostel is just behind the big blue car wash sign

This hostel is very basic and quite shoddy but definitely not to be avoided! Its cheap and its in a good location to venice beach and is easily accessible on major bus routes. Not much of a party atmosphere but we did get talking to people whilst sat outside in the evenings which was good. We booked to go into the 30 bed dorm but we were put in a 6 bed dorm for the same price which was good of them. If ur overly fussy then dont stay here but it really isnt too bad if u want cheap & gud locatiom

Not my favorite hostel. On the other hand, it worked, and was quite cheap.

Run-down hostel with many damages (e.g. just one working men-shower) and not well cleaned. Good located because its quick way to the beach.

Would not stay here again. Staff unhelpful, its dirty and a good hour plus bus away from hollywood and LA city. Free parking was the only good thing about this place. Would never stay there again ever!

the hostel is not very clean and they definitely need a new and better equipment for the kitchen. apart from that, everything is ok and it's also not very far from the beach.

Ok, but not in a particularly convenient location, depending on what you want to do.
