Positive Reviews

Amazing location near the beach

Most guests of this hostel have raved about its location, as the building is just minutes on foot from the Santa Monica Pier and around the corner from Santa Monica State Beach. The Third Street Promenade is also just a short walk from this location.

Nice common areas

Many guests have enjoyed the common areas at this property. The hostel has a kitchen, and courtyard, and a lounge area that are spacious and provide an excellent place to relax when spending time away from your room.

Kept very clean

Guests have been surprised to see how clean this hostel is. Generally, hostels tend to get quite dirty because of the shared accommodation policy and people staying for different lengths of time. This property, however, has clean rooms, which made guests feel comfortable.

Negative Reviews

No air conditioning

Numerous guests have mentioned that this hostel doesn't have air conditioning in the rooms. This is a major issue in the summer, as the temperatures rise to uncomfortable levels in Santa Monica at that time, and has made the rooms difficult to be in.

Limited number of bathrooms

There is only one male and one female bathroom per floor at this property and this has led to lineups to use the facilities in the morning and evening. Guests have also noted that the showers aren't very spacious and there isn't much room in which to get changed.

Poor breakfast offerings

Past guests would have liked to see more variety at breakfast. Even though the breakfast is free, guests didn't like what was being offered and many have chosen to pay to eat elsewhere.
