Opinions ITH SURF CITY HOSTEL HERMOSA BEACH Hermosa Beach

Buena propuesta de acuerdo al precio/ calidad, con varias oportunidades de mejora.
Solo subida x escalera tener este detalle en cuenta si tienes mucho equipaje.

Love the place and the convenience of have everything close. The staff super friendly and helpful

Im gonna be honest…with a lot of options in the area it was difficult to choose smart…all
Pics on the web side are accurate and that impress me the most. Everything is close and or a convenience distance

I came on a last minute trip and it was affordable! I enjoyed my time at the hostel, I appreciated the fact that I could book a female only room. The surrounding area is beautiful and super walkable. Because it’s situated near restaurants and bars, it definitely isn’t super quiet at night, but if you can sleep through the noise, it’s a great place to stay!

I absolutely loved staying at this amazing Hostel!!! Every staff was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. I want to give a big Shout-out to Bruno, Marissa, and Eva for being soooo incredibly kind and soooo helpful!!! I absolutely recommend this Hostel!!! Such an amazing community!!!

This was a great spot. The staff were awesome! Very very helpful. Kudos to them. The kitchen was small but perfect for the self made breakfast they provide. The bathrooms were spotless. This was my first Hostel stay and I loved it. The location....wow. The bar next door does have live bands on the weekends but the hostel gives you ear plugs if you need them. I was unbothered by it. Daily events were a nice touch.

Hotels usually have friendly staff, but there was a real sense of care and warmth here at Surf City. Despite our unexpected personal circumstances, they did their very best to accomodate my wife and I with the utmost respect and humanity. Shout out to Bruno for helping us adapt to our first chaotic day in the US!

I enjoyed my stay at the Surf City Hostel. For last minute booking and affordability they worked perfectly. Excellent location right in the center of Hermosas downtown. Lots of great restaurants and things to do by the beach. Friendly and accommodating staff. Will definitely stay again when passing through or one of their other affiliated hostels. 5 star overall reviews but 4 stars for the room just because it is bunk beds but it's understandable for being a hostel and the mattress was comfortable.

Need a place to sleep so I could get up early a d run the coast. This place was perfect. It can be loud in the rooms due to a live music in the Mar below. I'm a US military vet so the sound didn't bother me one bit. Can't say the same for others plan accordingly. Also parking is difficult. There's free parking somewhere nearby. I never found it. I parked at Redondo beach pier a d paid for the night. Its. 1.8 mile walk to Hermosa. Again nothing that bothers me, you I can't speak for. Either way a great affordable place to sleep.

Perfect!

J'y passe 3 jours, l'emplacement est idéal avec restaurant, bars, terrasses et boardwalk.

Nice location exactly on the beach and everything close to you...nice people and nice service im gonna come back of course

Amazing location, good standard clean hostel. Staff is great and people are always friendly, can't beat the location. Some noise outside and downstairs because of the restaurants but not bad with ear plugs!

Great, easy stay in southern LA. Highly recommend for traveling on a budget and not looking for much more than a bed and simple accommodations.

While traveling from out of town for a Spartan Race and other business matters I wanted to try out the Surf City Hostel.

I came to find that the Hostel itself is quite cute and quaint in such a busy area.

The staff on the other hand is where I have major concerns. The owner was in office a few times trying to ensure things were done the moment that they left it was if the staff had no regard to the Hostel.

I would say that majority of staff are in the age range of 18-23 whom just have no understanding that this is not there home that this is a place for tourist/travelers/professionals to come rest and enjoy their stay without having to search for staff, or overhear them conversing about sexual encounters' with eachother and thats why no one was available. As an avid traveler this was one of the worst experience at any Hostel I have stayed at and there is only one other Hostel I have stayed at that had worse staff. I have traveled all over the USA and Greece staying at Hostels and the attitude and professionalism that this hostel shared was just under par by far.

There is free wifi as well as complimentary breakfast in the mornings.

Breakfast includes:
Pancakes'
Bananas'
Toast
Coffee/Tea

There is a refrigerator that is for all to use yet it is not well maintained and quite overrun by expired food and items that are not even contained correctly. Ensuring that you label your items does not stop theft as someone stole not only my food that was labeled but my tupperware as well.
There is a dry food storage as well, however they do have a rodent issue as there where bite marks in packages that where stowed away for cooking later.

The rooms are cleaned to the bare minimum, noting that the bathrooms are not cleaned often. This is due to the staff being young and not caring enough to ensure floors are vacuumed swept mopped and so forth.

There are plenty of options for shopping, food and tourism.There is the pier to the left of exiting the hostel about 100 yards away. This is also a great spot to catch some great waves and enjoy that California sun!

The "boardwalk" is 50 feet from the entrance as well as this is the main district of Surf City its extremely busy.

The hostel offers a warm and friendly atmosphere with helpful and pleasant staff. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, providing comfort to the guests.

A REALLY NICE EXPERIENCE.

Know this place is located right over a bar & if you end up in a room at the front on a weekend night, it can be loud, but the views are amazing, hosts are warm & helpful, breakfast is hot & fellow travellers are nice. Great amenities to use while there. Loved both my stays here, right on the beach. Parking is a little hike away, but the ocean air & hill was lovely exercise. I know I'll be back soon.

nonsense place. very rude and getto place. stay away not safe place for normal people. only for frauds

I love this place. Warm people, good atmosphere, good location. Debora is one of the people I remember most from my stay there. Super friendly and patient. We had great conversations and she made my trip so much easier with recommendations of places and things to do. I thank her for organizing fun activities like yoga and burger night for guests. I think we all remember that along with the nice environment of Hermosa beach!

Big thumbs up to Bre W. And the mostly amazing staff for holding this place together despite an aging building and the inherent craziness that can happen at any transient lodging such as a hostel. Let’s be clear…to even have a hostel in the center of such a safe and affluent town as Hermosa Beach with immediate access to the beach and even more affluent Manhattan Beach…is a lucky charm that every traveller should be glad to take advantage of considering that to actually live here costs an absolute fortune! Great job Bre you’re a true rock star!!! ????⭐️????????????

I was there just one night, a Saturday night. The place is above a restaurant bar and the band started playing seven or eight I don’t remember but the bass was so loud that I just couldn’t think. At 10:30 the music stopped and I thought oh nice, they were continued to play from 10:45 until … still playing. I had to buy my own lock for the locker which was fine. I think $7-8. The floor of the half bathroom was fairly dirty I would rather not take a shower then to have to look how dirty it is. You get what you pay for. I saw the big bathroom in the morning and it was really nice.

The most beautiful location outside you could ever stay at. The view from my room in the morning included ocean and sand.

I was too tired to go to the BBQ but the thought is great. It has a youthful vibe. You make your own breakfast in the morning there’s pancakes which really turned out to be like crêpes and they had chocolate chips and peanut butter and cinnamon my goodness that was super yummy. And I also made a couple eggs on the grill myself, and then washed my own dishes. ???? it was like camping in a cabin in the city.

Une auberge très sympatique, idéalement située au pied (pour ne pas dire sur) la plage, au coeur de la place principale au dessus des bars. Certes il y a de la musique les fins de semaine mais je n'ai eu aucun problème à dormir. Odile la gérante est adorable, quant au reste du staff sur place vous accueille et vous intègre comme une famille. Le petit déjeuner est appréciable et il est même possible de louer des vélos pour la journée. J'ai adoré mon séjour ici et je n'étais pas la seule car j'ai croisé plusieurs personnes qui y revenait.
