Good location right on the boardwalk on venice beach - nightly activities which was fun. good location as its very close to the airport too.

Second time I have stayed here and I loved it just as much. It is right on the beach and a short bus trip to Santa Monica. Venice Beach is an extremely vibrant area, but it is an 40 minute or so bus trip into Hollywood Blvd. The buses a fairly regular and cost very little. The Hostel itself wasn't rowdy at all and provided a great place to sleep.

Hard beds, hot water runs out to quick, 4 people in a room can't take a hot shower after each other since hot water runs out. Good location though, and safe..

I was bitten by bed bugs and in my four days there, was lucky enough to get only one hot shower. All other showers were either cold or luke warm.

I like the atmosphere in the hostel, people are so nice here, and we can have our valuables deposited. However, the light in the room is a little bit too dim, at least for the room that I stayed in.

The hostel was excellent, the staff were nice, the facilities were very good. The only problem was the location. Venice beach at night is terrible, there is nothing to do, too many homeless people and you don't feel safe walking around there at night. Moreover, public transport to other places takes too long.
