Stayed here for a night in the private room. It was facing inwards so no views here. It’s pretty ok for the price ($125 ish). And it even comes with breakfast bagels, protein bars, hot choc. Showers and washrooms are adequate throughout the floor, didn’t really have to fight for it. Lots of activities to do nearby too, especially around Venice Beach. Only downside is no free parking. We parked along Riveria Ave and walked about 8 mins over as Windward Cir is full. We then took a Waymo over to the car with our luggages the following day for $10. I’d rather pay for this than to pay for parking nearby. Parking cost is also variable. As of Dec 2025, the parking next door quoted us $40 for overnight parking. Overall this place has a pretty good price point & location!
I was a little unsure about staying in this area because I heard a lot of complaints about homelessness and Venice Beach being kind of trashed. But honestly, I ended up really liking it, just made sure not to stay out too late. It’s also an easy walk to Santa Monica Beach if you don’t mind about a 40-ish minute walk. There’s tons of food nearby, the ocean is right there, and I stayed in an all-female dorm with super cute views. I really enjoyed the hostel and felt safe being here solo.

❗️Best hostel experience EVER! Bleu was always friendly and helpful will guests! His patience is commendable! The entire (!) staff is eager to maintain a wonderful relaxing atmosphere and make shure guests have everything needed (and more)! The rooms and common areas are always clean and the kitchen is absolutely spotless. Guests have access to large fridge and Microwave. No drugs, smoking or vaping tolerated! Location is within minutes walk from muscle beach, skating area, board- and bike rentals. Will definitely return!!!
I was hesitant after reading mixed reviews but overall I had an ok stay. Good value for money. Very clean and they have room service every day. I had a shared room, private bathroom, with ocean window views. It can get loud outside but it wasn’t terrible if you shut the windows and use earplugs which they provide at the front desk. Breakfast isn’t super elaborate but it’s nice to have some options. They have toast and bagels, oranges, and oatmeal. Cute little common room to eat and chill. Good location if you want to be close to the beach. As others have mentioned yes there are some homeless people around but that’s just LA. They mind their own business and I had no issue. But if you are looking to be in a less hectic area go for Santa Monica.
This was my first time EVER staying in a hostel (so I don't have much of a reference for comparison, to be fair). I stayed in a private room (with my girlfriend). The room had it's own sink, but all of the bathrooms/showers were communal. Bathrooms and showers were shared, but privately. Had a kitchen area, with continental breakfast provided, and a communal lounge for chilling and eating. Located right off the boardwalk (like 20 feet) which was convenient. Although, at night, the area gets a bit sketchy (worth noting). Overall, not a bad experience at all. Just note that communal bathrooms and showers means that you might have to plan out your mornings and itinerary accordingly, around varying availabilities.
