Surf City Hostel

I'm so happy I decided to stay here. My friend had stayed there in the past so I felt safe with this choice. And it's situated in one of my favorite places in LA so I was happy to go.

The whole experience was amazing.

Breakfast is included (continental and pancake mix) and the volunteers organize activities every night which makes the hostel very social and a fun place to be (go to BBQ night on Saturdays for burgers and hot dogs!)

The volunteers are so friendly and you'll make great friends whether it's with them or other guests.

The bathrooms are super clean as well as the restrooms, and you'll be provided with linens and towels. And the beds are comfortable!

A massive thank you to Sophie and Carey for making my stay an amazing one. They are always ready to help you and are fun people to talk and hang with. Truly the best! Cannot wait to come back!

I booked for a day and ended up staying for 2 weeks!! This hostel is incredible and there is so much to do in the area. My room had ocean view and it was amazing to wake up looking at the ocean everyday. The hostel is clean, quiet and comfortable. The breakfast pancakes are so good and we love the activities they put on everyday, it really brings people together and we had so much fun. We loved Taco Tuesday and meditation night. Beach clean up was also very cool!! it was also super affordable and close to LAX airport.

It's the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The kitchen is small; in the morning you can make your own pancakes. There is a lounge with tea that is open all day & during the night. The location is unparalleled for its right on the beach.

If you need to stay close to the beach and the heart of Hermosa Beach, you are at the right place. The only thing you have to take into consideration is the noise of the bars and restaurants close by. So have your ear plugs, your headphones ready or wait it out. Rooms are good maintained and the stuff is super friendly. Just don't expect anything super fancy, it's as good as a hostel you remember from your youth's can be. Also parking is not that easy and public transit doesn't come as often as your like.

This hostel is amazing. The private rooms are exactly what my husband and I were looking for. Room and bathroom with ocean view, comfy beds, quiet nights but yet, in the heart of the action. We stayed for a week and it was excellent for us to work online and enjoy the beach. They have double desk, coffee and tea maker in the room, free breakfast, smart TV and the staff is awesome. I will def come back!
