快適!
Pros:

ロケーションもビーチの目の前で、施設自体も開放的な作りになっているため、とても過ごしやすい。就寝時間はQuiet Timeが設定されており静かに寝ることができます。スタッフも親切に声をかけてくれたり、教えてくれたりして快適でした。

Cons:

夜中にベッド脇を通る人がいると、床が軋むのか、ベッドが揺れる。

Best hostel experience with comfort, community, and a perfect beachside location.
Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.
