ITH Hermosa Beach Surf Hostel LAX

Great kitchen to cook most things. Huge fridges, filtered water. The location is great, it's on the beach! Staff is welcoming. If you are on a budget, you can get here by bus from LAX by M (connector shuttle) & 232 bus at Aviation/LAX. It's a little bit of a walk from the bus stop, but no biggie. Bathrooms are clean. Shower booths have a good amount of space, the water is nice and hot. The dorm locks are quiet, which really helps with people getting in late or midnight bathroom runs.

Very budget-friendly. View of beach and pier from room. Great breeze. No a/c needed. Bed was comfortable. Staff were great and other guests were friendly. People from all over the world. Bathrooms were shared male and female, which was fine with me. Everyone was very chill about it. Good Stuff restaurant was right around the corner.

It was a last minute booking because my flight was cancelled and during the tour around the hostel, which by the way the receptionist was very receptive and provide all information in detail, I received a call saying my flight would be rescheduled for the same night. It was a shame because I loved the place. As a traveler I always chose the cheapest option to save some money I thought would be horrible because was cheap and I confess that I should have stayed over there the whole time. I loved that is a historic/old building surviving in the midst of unbridled and capitalist Los Angeles. It is not a new building so, if you are picky it is not for you. The facilities are dated. I will definitely be back!

I came with my family of five and we stayed here just for one night as a layover. It was my father's birthday and our main destination was Hawaii. My father and mother had a private bedroom and private bath on the corner. They enjoyed the view of the ocean but being older, did not really appreciate the bars below as noise could go late into the evening when they wanted to sleep. Myself and my girlfriend had a private room with no bath. My brother had a private bed in a four bed dorm. We enjoyed the beds - very comfortably. Even though we weren't here for a long time, we really appreciated the staff being super friendly and the location is amazing. Right outside is the beach, Pier, plenty of cafes for breakfast, and plenty of bars and restaurants open late into the evening. Some of the best views of California on the beach. The rooms are very clean. Bathrooms are very clean. The staff is also very accommodating. All rooms you can see the ocean. Very affordable.

Third time staying here. Great location, I love Hermosa Beach. Wifi is fast and reliable, was able to do some work remotely. Breakfast keeps gettin better, there’s pancakes and eggs now. Staff were great too, friendly and helpful.
