Nice place to be, especially the two bedroom with own toilet and bath. 20 minutes to walk to venice beach!

Pour le prix, cette auberge reste correcte. Cependant les dortoirs sont plus grands qu\'annoncés, et nous somme un peu les uns sur les autres. J\'ai connu mieux comme expériences en dortoirs.

The free airport pickup (with minimum 2 nights stay) was very nice and I really liked that the staff was so friendly and helpful. The dorms were okay, too. Maybe some people would have a problem with the bathroom because you cannot lock the shower and the shower is in one (big!) room with the toilet (which you can lock!), but there is at least a curtain and actually nobody comes in when you're having a shower. All in all a very nice place with a lot of nice people and located in a good area.

Amazing vibe at this place and the staff are the best. Was mislead in terms of how close the place is to Venice Beach but the price and character of the place easily made up for that.

After intending to stay only 3 days, I stayed 15 nights! One of the best hostels I've stayed at in 13 years: a great area, better than touristic Santa Monica, with everything close-by; staff are awesome, so friendly, down-to-Earth, helpful, just real chill people; clean, facilitated kitchen (cleaned each day); homely, unlike standard soulless/expensive hostels, thus it doesn't need HUGE signs outside - a house number & street name is all you need if you're smart :P Thanks for a great 2 weeks! :)

I was anxious after reading reviews online, but decided I should try anyway. It was awesome. The other people in the house were great. A fifteen minute walk to the beach. The closest comparison would be to staying at a party house, without the party.

A big old house with a great salon and a big kitchen. Very easy-going staff, if you need help, hey will help you! It is a bit humid and some heating more can be necessary in winter, but apart from that, the hostel is cool. Of course it is a Hostel, we are not talking of average hotel services! Anyway a cheap, sufficiently clean and relaxed place to stay in L.A. Thank you VBH! Mattia

Nice hostel, great helpful staff. Good value for money. Quite a long walk from the main part of Venice Beach though.

We are a young couple, and we have booked a private room with a "private barthroom": the beds were awful, our room and the common kitchen were dirty, and the worst thing was that the so called "private barthroom" was simply a WC and a bath tub IN THE BEDROOM, IT WAS NOT ANOTHER ROOM, so THERE WERE NOT SEPARATING WALLS BETWEEN the bedroom and the "bathroom"!!

Although I stayed only for a night, I really liked my stay. The staff was very helpful and courteous. I'll certainly stay at Venice Beach Hostel when I come back to Venice.

I enjoyed to stay at your hostel, as it had a cozy and nice atmosphere. Moreover, I liked to have the breakfast included and I loved the Christmas dinner. Thanks a lot for all your help!

Very peaceful and family sized Venice's hostel located around 15 minutes walk from the beach. Great free wifi access everywhere in the house. That really looks like a usual home instead of a true hostel. Max around 25/30 beds I believe. Near Los Angeles LAX main airport and Marina del Rey. No curfew and kitchen very available because of so few people. Managers are here just to keep an eye and hardly ever bother you. Cheap price, good value, one of my best experience so far. I do will come back.

Ian, who works there is very friendly, and is easy to talk to. Knows a lot about LA. The facilities could use a facelift.
