Nothing special but the location.

I've never stayed in a hostel before and I don't think I will again. I know some hostels are nice,especilly the newer ones like the one in Santa Barbara where I visited a friend who was staying there. However, this in old building and the furiture junky. I had my own room not a dorm room and I thought I had a private bath, because the the desciption kind of deceoptively made it seem like it did by not making it clear. Just saying that they didn't provide toothpaste or a toothbrush {as if anyone expects that in the first place!} I'm not into sharing a bathrom with anyone on the same floor. Yes, I could partially see the ocean (and the old/rusted roof equipment on the roof next to it.) I have to say the location was great and the staff was friendly, If you are on a surfing trip with the guys or gals and you need a cheap dorm stay it might be okay.

I loved breakfasts, kind people and quietness of the place (except early morning machinery out there in the beach, but I’m an early bird). What I wished to have is a larger basin and a hygienic shower, as well as cleaning options in my room / laundry options in the hostel. Thanks for a nice stay!

2nd floor does get loud because of the bars around. But the hostel has free ear plugs. Hermosa Beach is so close which is awesome. Hostel has events every night if people wanted to participate which is nice.

If youre looking a for fun,foodie and a beach within feet. This is your place. Especially if youre into the night scene or going to a concert/festival. Youll find others to join. Best for solo or couple travelers as they have private rooms as well. I had a great experience and would travel here again.

I love this place.

This place was incredible. It’s our first time staying at a hostel but we had our own room. Being able to stay on the beach was such a cool experience and walking down from your room to hear local talents singing or over to Hennessey to enjoy incredible food. It was a great experience!
