The Culver City Hostel is one of the best hostels in the LA area. Mainly because it’s not like other hostels in LA where you need to share a bunk bed and possibly have a room with 5-7 other people. Here you get your own room and own bed. Great for traveling to LA solo or with friends and family as they also have bigger room options. There is free Wi-Fi, shared bathrooms and showers, and a shared kitchen and lounge space. Free street parking across the street in a quiet neighborhood if you have your own car or a rental. Food options are nearby and walking distance like Starbucks and Chipotle, and even a Mediterranean restaurant next door, and of course food delivery like Uber Eats is always an option if you don’t feel like leaving the hostel! The sheets/pillows/bedding and towels and overall room was very clean. I’d recommend this property to anyone traveling to LA on a budget! It’s a lifesaver if you can’t afford the average luxury hotels in LA (that range from $200-300/night & upwards to $500/night & up depending on location) but you still want your privacy and own room. Also this is in a great area in terms of no street noise and sirens, despite being on a big street, as well as easy access to the 405 freeway in case you have to leave early to the airport or continue a roadtrip. Front door has a code and so does each room so it’s very safe. I’m so grateful for the Culver City Hostel team’s friendliness and hospitality!

Conveniently located in residential Culver City. A 7 eleven and several restaurants within walking distance. The hostel was spotlessly clean. Dustin was very helpful via WhatsApp messaging. The cleaner was very friendly and showed me around when I got there There were clear instructions as to the kitchenware and fridge usage. It would have been good having someone around in case of emergency.

There was no proper window in the room, so it would get stuffy after a while. I appreciate the fact that the reception desk staff member kept in touch and messaged me the codssaes to the entrance and to my room; however, manning a reception desk from.time to time makes a difference and would make the guests feel safely

The location is very good. It's about 1-2 minutes walk to the bus station. Also the cleaning staff and hostel staff is very nice and helpful with me. This makes me feel happy a lot because I traveled alone. I also ask them for leaving the luggage at the property before going to airport in the evening, they helped me with that.

My room is D10. I cannot do anything with the window because it was fixed with the wall. When you wake up the light might be interrupted a bit but not that big deal for me. Also the room might be too hot for some people (but for me temperature is fine) but they have a fan in the room. In male restroom there's no hair dryer but female does have one and I really need to use them. The last thing is the pillow is too thin for me. I need to take my neck pillow to help and lift myself for sleeping.

The AC in my original room wasn't working, so the host moved me to another room promptly. The location is really ideal: walking distance/a few bus stops from grocery stores, coffee places, a laundromat, and restaurants. Wi-fi was strong in my room too. As hostels go, this was an overall pleasant and affordable experience.

The showering facilities could be improved: the water temperature is hard to control and not all the lights were working in the bathroom. Noise level depends on the other guests.

I felt welcome and safe. The staff were so polite and helpful. Room, bed was comfy. Good location, quiet.

Waiting for hot water. So much cold water wasted to wait for the hot water for a shower. I didn’t ask about how to use the tv. I didn’t get it to work. I’m not sure if that was extra. I didn’t really need it. The staff when out of their way to make me comfortable and they helped me with my travel needs. They really looked after me. It’s a good, clean, safe environment.

This hostel was exactly what I needed. I was in town for a weekend where I knew I would be working most of the time and I needed somewhere I could sleep peacefully, take a shower and store all my stuff securely. The Culver City Hostel fit all of these requirements perfectly. The location was also perfect. It's a little more expensive than some hostels in the area, but it's worth it to know all of my stuff was secure in my locked room when I was gone and I could sleep in a private room. The bathrooms are shared, but they were clean and I never had to wait to use the toilet or shower since there were two toilets and three showers (with privacy curtains) in the men's room, which was important as I needed to get ready and out the door. The staff were also great.

Location is number one. Safety is also important. Super close to anything you need and street parking consider fair. I stayed there for 3 days and i was satisfied. The manager Dustin, super helpful since the second i arrived at the property. He will work with you and he will try his best to accommodate your stay. Clean too. Kitchen is big and huge patio for everyone. I recommend this to everyone and YeS I will stay there again. No doubt

Need to provide small amenities like toothbrush maybe.

I stayed in the cheapest room and it wasn't bad, good bed, clean clothes and fan. But, it was not possible that it did not have an air extractor or some ventilation mole, it could even be dangerous for a person to stay more than 6 hours in the room and unfortunately when opening the door it gave to the bathrooms so the smell that came in was not pleasant

Silent and clean

The place is comfy, clean, and very convenient. Also, the staff were friendly and accommodating, the rooms were well-maintained, and the location made it easy to explore nearby attractions. I felt safe and at home throughout my stay, and I’d definitely come back again.

None so far

TJ was an amazing host that gave me personal attention and made me feel at home. He went above & beyond and was incredible gracious. Thank You!

Overpowering Smell of Cleaning Products. Switch to products with no added scents please. Overall it did not affect my stay. Just a suggestion because people are scentsitive to synthetic chemical scents. Put a screen on the bathroom window please.
