This hostel is located directly opposite Mann's Chinese Theatre so it's great for sightseeing. The train station is nearby too but it's a long way from LAX airport and about an hour away from the beach at Santa Monica. The staff are great -- friendly and helpful, but unfortunately the hostel needs a makeover as it's pretty shabby. The dorm room I slept in didn't even have glass in the window! It's clean enough but it's pretty dark and dingy and looks like it hasn't been decorated in a few years. There's free breakfast of toast and coffee but the kitchen is tiny and there are no cooking facilities, only a microwave. Nice people, just a shame about the hostel!
