"Tofo was super dirty, garbage in the room, used tampons under the bed, the bathroom was terribly dirty, there was no toilet paper. Additionally, the area where the hostel is located was dirty, and looked dangerous. I do not recommend staying at this hostel. It's cheap but I wouldn't stay here again."

"The hostel is a rare find if you want value for money in terms of accessibility and places to see. Seriously, it is right in the heart of LA. In 4 days, I traveled all the way to Pasadena, Santa Monica, Long Beach, and many more just because public transportation was accessible and I could always find a train back to this hostel. You can not expect a full-fledged 5-star treatment at this price but it certainly offers you a lot if you are traveling light. Downside? The beds really need some...

"I enjoyed my stay, I did go and purchase cleaning agents because I felt I needed it to be up to standards I felt comfortable with. I slept in a dormitory style room with three other people. I slept in the bottom bunk it was comfortable, for more privacy I had use a light blanket and a yard of cloth that I hung from the upper bunk that draped down to give me that barrier of privacy. The sheets , pillow and comforter were clean. I would say check your mattress, prior to sleeping in it not for bed...

" day we arrived, with the hotel citing a ‘Force Majeure’ due to weather—even though there was no inclement weather. When we called to understand the situation, we were met with an unhelpful response. It took assistance from Hotels.com to secure a refund, as the hotel claimed they weren’t liable due to their ‘Force Majeure’ policy. Very disappointed with how this was handled and the lack of transparency."

"This property was close to all the events associated with my 45th Santa Monica High School reunion. I appreciated the private entrance given I was coming and going all hours of the day.

"Excellent property and host, well described. Very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Although all required permits are provided, street parking availability varies with time of day and beach lot parking, while reasonably convenient, was commonly gated and locked. Apparently there is a code to open the lock, but we did not learn of that until the end of our stay which caused some inconvenience. "
