I traveled alone and booked a private room here. People were helpful, friendly and a base breakfast & dinner was included. Not the newest, but clean and spacey and excellent value for the price. Enjoyed the social interactions on a good scale, facilitated by friendly staff and sharing food. Excellent location.

Got here early and our room was ready. Great considering we just got off a long haul flight. Central to some great bars and restaurants. Walking distance to Santa Monica pier. Beds comfy and rooms clean. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Helpful with information.

Was here for a night between flights from LAX. The directions are wrong on the email. If you arrie by plane take shuttle C and ask to get off at Lot C. Take big blue bus 3 and get off at california and Lincoln about 15/20mins by bus. Then go south down California and take bus 1 and get off... More

Perfect location! Arrived at close to midnight and reception were still open to greet us and sort out our room. The room was massive, and we had our own computer with free internet which was heaven!

On our trip we didn't interact much with the other guests, luck of the draw I guess; however we made friends with some of the staff. I will... More

Loved the time we spent here. Probably the best location in Venice as it joins onto the Venice sign and is just 1 min walk from the beach. The hostel provides free coffee and waffles in the morning and I met some really interesting people whilst staying here, all of which were very friendly! We even went to san fran... More

Was concerned with previous reviews. However enjoyed an excellent stay. Staff on reception were very friendly and helpful. Room was basic but clean and spacious - definatley recommend private room ! Location was great just off Venice beach, restaurants and off licence near by. Not a massive amount of Night life around in the way of bars and clubs but... More

DONT EVERRRRR STAY HERE!!! If I could, I wish I could sit out there everyday just to let everyone know HOW DISGUSTING and VILE this place is. BUGS all over the bed, room and bathroom.
