ITH Surf City Hostel Hermosa Beach

I enjoyed the quietness of...

Liked: The hammock in the hallway was nice. The property is close to everything I loved the neighborhood. The night life was so good and fun. Lots of beautiful views and the beach was so clean I’m highly impressed and can’t wait to visit hermosa beach again
Disliked: Didn’t feel secure my lock (dead bolt) on my door didn’t work. When I called to inquire about the property staff advised that I rent a car so that I could get to things. However, parking was a nightmare and very expensive. The staff should never have advised me to rent a car. Everything was close by and within walking distance. I’m confused why she advised me to rent a car. I wasted about $400 for rental fuel and parking.

I have stayed here before...

Liked: Location,location,location. Right at the beach!
Disliked: Stairs. Lots of stairs to get in and out.

Passable

Liked: Got a free room update to a better room. This one had a nice sea view.
Disliked: First two nights in a stinky room, direct above a bar, which plays loud music till 1:30 am. With earplugs was impossible to sleep.Almost never free food as left overs from guests before, as in other hostels. Because the staff takes it :-DSean, one man from the ppl who clean there, has frightened me few times, when I was cooking in the kitchen. I told him to not do it, when I satnd with my hot pan frying my food. But he still did. I had luck, that I havent hurt myself. Kitchen is small, but should work. And still one other woman, who works there, striked me in the corridor and the hot coffee went over my hand. She hasnt stoped to say sorry to me. Just looked smiling when she was 5 metres further.

One of the best hostels...

Liked: Amazing commitment to cleanliness. Very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful location.
Disliked: NA

Liked: It was a night I didn’t expect to spend here, but I made the awesome decision to stay—and it turned out to be an amazing final night of my trip. The Brazilian guy at the front desk was super nice and welcoming. Also, thanks for having a surfboard in the living room—such a cool touch!
