Los Angeles Backpackers Paradise Hostel Reviews

It was much nicer than I thought because the rating was 63%. They have free breakfast (blueberry muffin & coffee/tea) and dinner (rice, nachos, two kinds of French fries & cake). It is not very healthy but better than nothing. The only problem is that you have to have staff fix your card key every single day. It didn\'t work very well. And this hostel is closer to LAX airport but very far away from most famous places where you plan to go.

Absolutely amazing place. Love it!

In a financial pinch, this is a great place to stay. Lots of free stuff, I felt safe and staff was decent.

the women that work at the front counter are very rude... This place is in the ghetto. Me and a friend we going to stay for 5 days, but we ended up leaving after the second day. I will never go back there...

it was an awesome place to stay. Recommended!

rude staff, right in the ghetto, unsafe to walk around the suburb at night time. the only good thing was the free shuttle to the airport and train and the free breakfast muffin.

Good Big Hostel near the airport. There is free shuttle to the subway so it s not a problem to be far from the city. Good value for money. Plus, we have found the cheapest car to rent with th agency in this hostel.

Sorry but I will never go again to this hostel. The personal is so unfriendly, and the room was very dirty.

This hostel is housed in a former motel, beds are assigned. Housekeeping changes the bedding daily which can lead to confusion as to whose things are whose as that all belonging are moved against a wall. The shared rooms have a single bathroom/shower. Great if you want a party atmosphere, but if you're looking for someplace quiet look elsewhere. There is parking, although it is first come first serve and you need to be carful you don't get blocked into a space.

The price is good and the free shuttle bus as well. The breakfast is only a muffin and the diner is french fries, white rice, tacos and fried rice. No vegetables, no meat no sauce. Free popcorn and tee/coffee all day long and at 3pm you get cookies for free. Rooms are generally clean. Definitely a good price for what you get.

A very big congratulations to the helpful shuttle driver

This hostel was clean new sheets and towels every day but other than that, there was not much going for it. The staff was always having personal conversations instead of helping customers. They locked me out of my room after a mistake (on their part) with billing. The location is a little sketchy, in Inglewood, and the restaurant/bar attached is an absolute disaster. And \"Free dinner buffet\" means your choice of starches on a tiny plate: french fries, nachos, tater tots, or rice.

Don\'t stay here if you want your personal belongings to be safe and you would like staff to actually answer your questions and smile. I had my whole handbag stolen, the dorm room was messy and you had no room. The whole night was freezing cold and there was no heating and we were only given one blanket. All in all, don\'t stay here because it\'s cheap....spend the extra ten dollars and get something better.

Anyone can come in the hostel, it should be more reservated for the guests and it is too far from the touristic points, you need to take the bus or car to get any place

they have an age policy that is not clearly stated anywhere if you are older than 28 you cannot stay in the dorms,but they don't tell you this untill you arrive...please speak to them about this....there was alot of confusion with myself and others

One day the staff on the reception was really unhappy, angry, impatient and not really helpfull, Except that day it was good !!

I enjoy my stay here... Nice staff, heaps to do, cheap food n drinks... Central to shops... Loved the Free shuttles... The heated pool is awesome too :-) Would definitly stay there again...

They had the wrong reservation in the system. Put me in a 20 bed dorm instad of a 4 bed. Took 6 hours to get the right room even proof by voucher!

This hostel was convenient as we only needed a bed to sleep in on a stopover and it is almost next door to the airport. Apart from that I would never stay here again. The neighborhood is extremely dodgy and you are advised not to go out after dark. There is no kitchen to prepare food in, meaning you have to eat at the restaurant or brave it outside. Some of the people floating around the hostel are quite scary, I was spat on by a lady in the laundry room. Definitely not a pleasant experience.

The staff was rude and not helpful at all. Our shuttle to the airport was 1 hour late. Bathrooms could have been cleaner. No kitchens to cook your own food. No free dinner as promised. Location wasn´t very nice, but it´s easy to get around with public transport.
