  • the parking situation sucks, and it's wrong and rude for staff to walk in your room in the middle of your stay and make you move to another room because of there poor planning

  • Really nice place to stay if you're flying out early or coming in late. Free Shuttle is great, breakfast, well just a muffin, but very clean and really cheap! Staff was nice!

  • I was flying standby and with the free airport shuttle it could not have been better. The place is near the airport so perfect location for my need. The place itself feels a little seedy and dark but overall stay was fine. Cheaper to book online. Never saw the free muffins for breakfast. Free hot food buffet at dinner was tater tots, french fries, nachos and rice....it is what it is and i ate it. The cake...seemed quite old but hey its free. Four bedroom room w en suite had 4 single beds!

  • It's a good place to stay if you're catching up for a flight. The breakfast is not good, just muffin and coffee... I was staying in 20 female dorm and there's no hot water for shower. The staff are not friendly and they even had a fight when I was using my computer since the internet didn't work in my room.

  • Overall great Hostel for the value paid. Travelers will appreciate the free shuttle to the airport within 10 min. Great atmosphere with a bar, swimming pool and pool, definitely recommend for having a good time meeting new people and hanging with friends. On the downsize, there was no locker in my room for my luggage and well... curtains were not long enough to have a dark room...

  • I had to change the room, because it was too smelly. It seems that there some people stay there for a long period. I guess those are not backpackers, which is actually not acceptable for a hostel. The did check out after one night, and got no refund for the second, which I had to pay at arrival.

  • If you are looking to see any tourist attractions this is not the hostel for you. Also there breakfast consisted of muffin and coffee, not much of an option. If someone locks the door on the inside then there is no way for your key to work. You have to knock until someone opens.

  • It's cheap. You get what you pay for. It's budget accommodation. If you have no expectations, then you will be fine. Some of the staff clearly struggle with maintaining patience with foreigners. They seem tired of their job. This is sad because it ruins the experience of travellers who have limited English skills e.g. reception staff are blunt and make their exasperation very obvious. I had no personal issues but I witnessed many unfortunate incidents. A negative attitude doesn't solve anything.

  • I liked it here very much. Excellent place, very close to downtown, hollywood, everywhere..I met some very lovely people(including the owner) and we had a great time. The room's alittle crowded, but for its price that's what i've expected anyway.

  • The hostel is in Inglewood that means its a while away from all important things like sightseeing etc. We knew that but we didn´t know that there was nothing going on around the hostel. There is really nothing in Inglewood and you´re not allowed to use the pool after 10pm or be around the poolarea. The pub is stinky and crowed with weird old people and you can´t go in your room because there are a lot of other people who wanna sleep so what are you gonna do? Nothing...do really don´t havechances
