ITH Hermosa Beach Surf Hostel LAX

I loved my stay at the ITH Hermosa Hostel this past weekend. The staff were fantastic and helpful. The social atmosphere of the kitchen and dining areas is what staying at a hostel is all about. Talking for hours around the dining room table is like being at college or being with family during the holidays. The location cannot be beat, a one minute walk to the sand of the beach, and another minute to the waters edge. Very safe area, no concerns. It is an entertainment area, so it can be louder than some people would like, for me I didn't mind. Being so close to the vitality of the area was energizing for me. Breakfast you make for yourself, which is nice so you make it how you like. There was pancake batter(and topping), eggs, and fruit. You clean up after yourself, which is being civil

Location is everything with this hostel, if proximity to the ocean is important. Wonderful staff, super clean and it leaves nothing to be desired. Perfect stay always!

Perfect for a friends or solo trip It been a while I didn’t stay in a hostel but due to the location of it I just went for it! Extremely easy to find, well located, clean, the staff were nice and helpful. The hostel is a bit old but well maintained. Only one issue, the bunk beds are noisy. I’ve stayed only one night so, I didn’t bothered to change the bed, but I noticed the same on the other occupied bed. Maybe just add some oil, could be great 👍. Breakfast is super basic but there is plenty of choices around, the smoothie shops open up at 7:30am. I’ll be back for sure

Staying at ITH Hermosa Beach is like staying with family who live at the beach! The staff is fun and personable, and are always hosting neat activities/events. Including beach meditations, nearby comedy shows, and house music night across the street. The rooms all have great windows, giving you the ability to not only let in the sea breeze, but in some cases even see the ocean from your bed! As someone with sensitive allergies, I have had no problems staying here. The hostal itself is very intimate. There are lots of opportunities to meet interesting guests. Hermosa Beach is a cute and authentic downtown. That and the beach, is right outside your hostal door.

My experience at this hostel was absolutely amazing. The views were incredible, and even though my English isn’t great, I was still able to communicate and have so much fun with everyone. I even learned how to ride a skateboard here! This turned out to be the best memory of my very first overseas trip ever. Thank you so much! 🙌
