Estávamos com medo pois os comentários e que não se consegue dormir por causa do barulho, nós chegamos a noite e foi super tranquilo, mesmo com a rua cheia de jovens e bares em volta lotados e muita festa, conseguimos dormir bem, do quarto não se escutava o barulho dos bares, o café da manhã e bom, os staff são maravilhosos, super atenciosos, recomendo a todos, nota 1000...

Surf City was a great place to stay, namely because of the location. You can see Hermosa beach from your window, and it's also right on Pier Avenue where there are restaurants and shops and bars. Great place to be. It's also not too noisy if you did prefer a more chilled night. The only issue with the location is that it is far away from Downtown LA and the public transport is a nightmare. But we just booked a tour that picked us up from a nearby hotel. Simple! Clean, nice rooms and bathroom.

Staff were extremely helpful - went out of their way to make sure you were happy and help you find places to go etc. Even gave us coupons to save on food shopping! Free breakfast was best we've had in 4 months of travelling. Only downside to this hostel is the location. Whilst its set right next to a beautiful beach, its next to a lot of bars so is noisy at night and it is also quite far from downtown LA/Hollywood etc so takes a fair amount of your day up just travelling there and back.

One of the top hostels I have stayed in. Everything was amazing, from the location (can't beat it) to the staff, to the people staying there. We had more fun there than any stay on our trip! Thanks Surf City, I will be back fro sure!

I had booked here for a week and decided to cancel after a night (wanted my own room and thier "privates" were more then at a hotel), but they wouldn't refund my all my money- kept an extra night's stay even though it was 9am! So charged for 2 nights and only stayed for one, even a hotel doesn't treat you like this, otherwise great location with ocean views, but after a few nights there isn't much new to see or do.

Great hostel. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Loved the location and wasn't too loud at night where you couldn't sleep even though there are a lot of bars around. Loved everything about it!!

One of the best places we stayed at in 3 weeks in the USA. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, we wanted a place near the beach and I don't think we could have been any closed. less than 100m from front door to sand. The surrounding area was full of excellent bars and restaurants and the hostel itself was really nice.

Great Place, great staff, UNBELIEVABLY good location! Ignore the stuff about this being SO loud. I was there on a Friday and Saturday and it was not bad at all. I slept like a rock....

Wow, what an experience..... The Team at Surf City combined with the amazing stretch of surfable coastline and abundant amount of happening bars on your doorstep made this one of my favourite experiences..... The team is down to earth and very willing to provide help wherever needed.... i.e. purchasing a vehicle, or getting around town..... Margharitas at Sunset or seafood fresh out of the ocean....... all readily available! Thanks guys...\"Well get him when he comes back in\" (insert Point Break)
