Backpackers Paradise Los Angeles - Los Angeles, USA

I stayed December 24. On December 25, Christmas morning, someone turns on the stereo outside, full blast, at 7 AM. 7 in the morning! Loud rock or heavy metal music. Not good.

Actual facility not great, but for this cheap of a price right near LAX, I can't say it's a bad deal per se.

Well i did not make it i was at brussels airport when the attack toke place, so all flights were canceled, I was there also last year at the hostel and it was nice, thats why i booked there again a bed for 3 nights Sven

Worst. Hostel. Ever. Run.

close to airport far from down town cheap suitable before leaving to airport or arriving from airport as ther is shuttle picks you up

It's a pity there's no 0 percent for the staff. The bad things written about the staff at this hostel and at Tradewings (they are the same place) are all true. These people will ruin your stay, believe me! The noise is just unbearable. The hostel area looks nice though. The free shuttle is also ok.

The place is a great setup, and the staff are ultra-friendly. The only problem is its location. The atmosphere is conducive to a young peoples' haven, but there aren't enough people or nearby attractions to give the party that it desperately wants.

The hostel is a lot like a frat house.

The hostel is quite far from everything besides the airport. It takes about an hour by bus to get to Hollywood or Santa Barbara, about 1 and a half hour to downtown LA. Or you take the metro train and have to take 3 different lines (which means you have to pay three times). Bus and metro stop running at about midnight. So if you come here to party you should rather stay in another hostel closer to Hollywood. Besides the area is not very nice thats why they offer all these free rides to the trains and airport because they dont really want people to walk around in this area. The blueberry muffin for breakfast was great, they have a heated pool which is awesome, but the bar is quite small (only room for about 7 people) but I still had fun. There were 20 people in one room who had to share 1 bathroom! Some people working there were not very friendly. They wouldnt let me cancel the rest of my stay allegedly because I had booked via credit card which is stupid because I didnt have any problems cancelling at other hostels. Well, all in all I wouldnt stay there again.

Their position differ from the map! I went civic center following the map! I stayed another hodtel! Liar!

this hostel is infact a travelers paradise!!! i've read the negative responses before and can now totally say that this place is perfect for travelling to L.A,cheap, freindly staff, mostly clean infrastructure, a hot pool, a place to party...what wants a backpacker more??? just the area the hostel is located is a little bit to far away from siteseeing places & rough! all in all i was very satisfyed with the hostel!!!

The hostel is very nice, with happenings at times that I wasnt' there (like 6.30pm, 7.30pm...) Nice rooms, cleanliness not bad. Nice the bathroom too. The position is kinda uncomfortable because is far from everything (but at least close to the airport!). At least 2 hours to go by bus and metro everytime that I had to move from one area to another one!! The shuttle bus "24 hours" took until 90 min to pick me up. They said "because of the traffic". Don't wanna even comment about. Unfiriendly and rude staff. They don't like their job I think, especially a couple of them. The service SUCKS!!

This place was an absolute dump, in a terrible suburb, incredibly dirty and the staff knew nothing about the city and public transport. All the "free" items are are joke, and the internet is incredibly expensive to use if you don't have your own laptop. Do not stay here.

Totally worth every dollar. Nice and clean. Because of the 24 hr Shuttle to Airport, Bus and Rail Transfer Station the Position actually isn't that bad. For that price you can't beat it.(All their pledges are true)

Very fun and friendly atmosphere. Rooms were spacious and well equipped, though not luxurious. Heated pool was great and you could tell the owner tries hard. Major points for the free food! I recommend it!

The hostel is quite clean, with bedsheets changed on a daily basis, it is close to LAX airport, so it is ideal for transiting people but to enjoy fully LA it is a bit far from the main attractions. Staff (with the exception of 2 persons) are extremely unhelpful and unknowledgable. I think it is good only for American travellers, but not for foreigners.

great place close to airport, not for people who want silence though, loud music all day long

Thx. Tatjana from Serbia

It's been a good stay. Perfect with free transportation and dinner.

restaurant and bar workers were lovely and really serviceminded! recepcion people could ues some improvement when it comes to smiling and to give information on how to get to the "hotspots" of L.A and Hollywood...
