The view of the beach was absolutely amazing and I am 1000% going to stay here next time I go to LA. It’s an amazing hotel and the staff were nice and friendly

Closer to beach. We walked to beach and stalls. No parking so you need to plan and park a bit away from the hostel for free. Should you want to park next to hostel it will be costly. Nice stay. Can def recommend. Breakfast every morning.

First time staying in a hostel and it was a great experience. It was the perfect accommodation for what I needed on this trip; a safe and secure place to rest my bed at night. Everyone was very nice and respectful of one another, and I had access to all the resources I needed (bathroom, kitchen appliances, fridge, etc.). If you’re looking for a low-budget, simplistic stay in Venice Beach, this is your place. Would stay here again!
