This has to be by far one of the worst hostels I’ve EVER stayed at! The staff have terrible attitudes and they have NEVER heard of customer service. This facility is also located in one of the worst ghetto/hood’s in LA! There is a Burger King about 2 blocks away and walking there is like taking your life into your own hands! Be ware IF considering this establishment!

Pay for what you get. Very noisy, was woke during the night by a screaming woman in the next room the screaming continued for over half an hour. The shuttle staff are not dependable according to what I heard from other guests but I had no problem with them at all. It is handy if you just need a place to stay for an early flight other than that go somewhere else!

Okay. Let me tell this straight up! The hostel itself is full of old drunk men and an owner who find pleasure in throwing young people out without any reason.. DONT EVER GO THERE! You will have a much better time on another hostel! Trust me! I have been traveling alot myself and i have NEVER been at a worse place than this!

If you want to need to get on and off on the airport at on time, you should never choose this hostel!! you have to wait 90min at least!!!!!!!!!

Had one of the worst sleeps in my life, shared a 4 bed dorm, and the person in the bed near me had stayed at the hostel for over a year and had set up the room to be his own bedroom. He wqs snoring, farting and coughing all night. I just didnt have a comfortable stay.

facilities are great free breakfast muffins free coffee any time free pop corn free dinner can take rest on pool free shuttle to manhatten beatch every morning but place away from downtown security very bad staff were crude with me. If you want to be close to airport you can choose that place but be away from staff , the internet access is very bad it costs 1 dollar per 10 min i tried to use it and took 10 min for loading google page wifi sometimes does not work

if you look for a cheap place to stay, this is it. it's close to the airport and car rentals. but that's it. the dorm is a very chaotic and noisy place. the accomodation is not charming at all. we stayed 1 night and were happy leave this place the next day to start our california trip.

Reception staff very unhelpful and don't seem to really care. Understandably they are busy and also run a car hire service but all customers should be treated with respect as we are all paying customers. There was a male/female couple in the all female dorm that i booked. That wasnt a problem for me but it may have been for others. Basic cheap - get what you pay for/ dont pay for. Transfer service was lovely though, the drivers were very pleasant. If only the reception staff could be the same.

Breakfast, diner, pool, games: good moment to meet people. Bus to the airport all day long: very usefull.

The location is yes, close to the airport and the hostel does provide a free shuttle but if you are a female and you want to walk one block to the CVS, it is likely you will be solicited for prostitution no matter what time of the day it is, how old or young you are or what you have on. This can be a little scary. The staff is all very nice except for the manager. He's an ass.

I've stayed in loads of hostels, and this is honestly one of the worst. Staff are rude and unhelpful, the 'hostel' is a converted motel and is half hotel, half dorm rooms, and not very clean. Only redeeming quality is that they have free shuttles to/from LAX, so a good stay if you need somewhere cheap near the airport - although had to wait an hour for the shuttle to pick us up. Do not stay here unless passing through.

The front desk staff were impatient, border-lining rude. The "continental breakfast" was just coffee and a muffin, very dissapointing.

The staff is GREAT!! They work hard and do a fabulous job at accomodating my needs and special request(s) with a happy attitude and smile. Nothing ever seems to be a problem or hassel for them whether it's management, car rentals, front desk or the resturant. Ray is my favorite shuttle driver! He is always happy, does his best to get you to your destination safely,within good time and without begging for tips- keep singing Ray!!! The last room I stayed in was very clean. Its a fun place to chill

The most attractive thing of the hostel is facility and services. Customers can be provided meal, snacks, tee, coffee, and so on for free. The hostel also has a good atmosphere to chill out and to have a conversation with other customers. I was very satisfied with the hostel for very cheap fee.

Good place to stay if you wanna be close to the airport. Not god for who wanna do tourism in LA. Free cookies, muffins, popcorn and dinner are a very good idea.
