“Excellent”
Mazing space and location. Very safe. Offers late check out - bag storage (until 5pm) for extra 30$, but you can still use all the facilities. Works perfect if you have a late flight and just want to chill at the beach all day and grab a shower before the airport. Couldn't recommend more.

“Best hostel experience with comfort, community, and a perfect beachside location.”
I can confidently say this was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Even though there isn’t a separation between male and female rooms, I felt completely safe throughout my stay. The hosts, Lawrence and Cole, are incredibly friendly, responsive, and always around the property in case you need anything. The housekeeper is also very kind, and together with Lawrence, they keep everything spotless and well organized for guests. The bed was super comfortable, and the hostel maintains quiet hours, which makes a big difference. Since it’s a space designed for digital nomads, there are often people working, so the peaceful atmosphere is essential and well respected. Everything is thoughtfully arranged, from clearly separated spaces in the fridge to an organized pantry, making the shared environment very easy to navigate. The hostel itself is beautifully decorated and has a lovely, welcoming vibe. I also had the chance to meet people from all over the world, which made the experience even more special. I would definitely love to come back. As for the location, it couldn’t be better. The hostel overlooks Venice Beach and is about a 30-minute walk to Santa Monica Pier. There are plenty of great restaurants and cafés nearby. One spot I highly recommend is Little Lunch, just a few steps from the hostel.

First time for me staying in a dormitory, but I always felt very safe. The location makes this place truly magical. I met wonderful people and listened to their stories. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend carefree days right on Venice Beach.

“Spacious and nice.”
More like a big apartment than a hostel. Alot of space, clean and hosts were cool. Access to a nice kitchen, the location is great, just turn the corner and you are at the boardwalk and beach. They also offered a couple vikes to borrow for a few hours at a time.

“Exceptional in Venice!”
Unbeatable location in Venice, the hostel is brand new and all the specs on the bunk beds (charger, fan, light) work perfectly. It has a great coworking area where you can use their monitors, kitchen has everything as well. Bathrooms are great, WiFi works perfectly, and you can get skateboards/bikes/basket balls/etc for free on the reception.

“Incredible stay in a Gehry’s building, with great people in it and aestonishing sunsets and surises. A must if you want”
Everything, from it’s architecture ( Frank Gehry knew how to do lofts and you can experience that here ) to the friends I met here and the quietness that is unusual for an hostel. Let’s say that this is a luxury hostel
