If you’re staying in Los Angeles, you want to be where the beautiful people are – and that’s by the beach. It’s quick and easy to find from LAX airport and only a block from the golden Santa Monica sands, so you can start to sun yourself instantly amongst the impossibly perfect and tanned Californians. There are plenty of activities organised at the hostel itself, along with being close to the famed bar crawl routes. The hostel desk can also help you with tours of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and other attractions like Universal Studios.

Overall the hostel is great my only two complaints are the lack of activities and the that large groups are allowed to stay. For example there was a group of 30 that stayed during the same time as my visit. The group did not interact outside of there group which Seemed like a lost opportunity to have 30 random individuals from around the world to connect with. Do not miss the Sunday bar crawl, it’s a great opportunity to make connections.

Moderno hostel. Limpio y amplio. El trato es mas de hotel que de hostel. Te cobran por guardar las valijas el dia del checkout (si es dsp de las 13hs), lo que no se suele caracterizar en los hostels. Tambien te cobran una fee por dia.

HI Los Angeles - Santa Monica says

Lo que más les gusta a los huéspedes de Hostelworld es nuestra fantastica ubicación, a sólo una calle de la playa y el muelle de Santa Mónica y a una manzana de las tiendas y restaurantes de la Third Street Promenade y del centro comercial Santa Monica. El Museo Getty está a un corto paseo en autobús. Personalmente, recomiendo a nuestros clientes que visiten Jinky\'s, justo al lado, si quieren un desayuno impresionante. Tenemos un montón de actividades organizadas para pasarlo bien, como barbacoas, noches de comedia, noches de pasta, bailes de salsa y timbas de póker, entre otras. Tenemos las mejores opciones para todos los estados de ánimo - si quieres socializarte puedes unirte a nuestras actividades de grupo, y si quieres descansar por tu cuenta puedes relajarte en nuestras modernas y cálidas zonas comunes. La mayoría de nuestros clientes tienen de 18 a 25 años y tenemos instalaciones adaptadas para personas con necesidades especiales o discapacidades.
