Reviews of Ocean Front Vortex Female Hostel private rooms Free bikes

The position is great, just in front of the Ocean in Venice Beach, the area is quite safe but nobody's around after sunset. There are buses to serve the area. Small markets (very expensive) nearby. The owner is great, the girls in the shared apartment are nice. The wi-fi is working. The room and the bathroom are big, with many beauty products. The experience in Venice Beach is unique, sunset on the beach is amazing.

The living room in the shared part of the house was not clean and messy, and I did not use it. The bathroom "communicates" with the other part of the flat so sometimes at night you can hear the girls talking loudly. No boliler in the room. Bikes have no braks. The area is very expensive so organize yourself with food and breakfast! The are is not clean (as many in the State) and is full of homeless people.

The owner was very attentive.

Everything ! Location is unbeatable and the vibes of the building are so nice and friendly!

Nice location close to the beach. The host was very nice and helpful!

Loved the vibe and Gary is super helpful

The place is magic. Great vibe, very well situated. Cooking with the ocean view was a highlight!

Quite a lot of stuff in some corners. Some girls live there longer, probably it´s the reason.

The owner was absolutely helpful and kind. Bikes available (really old, but working).

House was really dirty and messy. At least the room (+ private bathroom) was ok.

That it’s was different then any other place

Nothing

The location is great, close to Santa Mônica (approximately 20 minutes by car), lots of bars and restaurants. Gary is very attentive and was very friendly during my stay. I hope to return in December. 😊

The only thing I wish was better is the bed.

Gary is a very nice host.

Room with bathroom very clean.

I had an amazing experience. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, for which I'm very grateful. The girls who shared the house with us were all wonderful, I'm so happy that met them😃I highly recommend this place for a stay in LA.

Gary is super nice and helpful with everything :) Great community and place to stay.

Fantastic spot to stay at when traveling solo! Location is right by the Venice beach and the area is safe, the room has access to private bathroom, heater and is tidy and clean - haven’t heard much outside noise either. Gary is a terrific host, makes you feel very welcomed and comfortable

Vortex, the coolest place where to be in Venice

The room I stayed was very nice and cozy with a private bathroom, a big closet and a desk I could work on. The host is super friendly, as are the girls who are living there. The position of the place is just perfect. You step out right on the boardwalk, just a few steps from the beach, watch surfers in the morning while drinking coffee and grab one of the bikes to move around easily (next time I would like to ride up to Malibu!). Very convenient and fun! Next time I travel to L.A. I will ask for a room there again for sure!

Amazing stay! My first time at a hostel but I booked the private room and bathroom so it felt like a blend between airbnb and hotel stay. Everyone there was pleasant and clean. It is broken up into a few suites, the one I was in had a nice small balcony area and relaxing bright living room. The bedroom and shared space was very comfortable and there were keys for each entry point. The bathroom was clean and had a nice rainfall shower head - so please ** bring a shower cap ** if you don’t want your hair getting wet! Location was amazing right in front of “muscle beach” and on the boardwalk. Paid reserved parking was available but I was able to find free street parking every day! Short drive to all the tourist sites and nice walk/bike to anywhere on the boardwalk. Everything you need is there with the exception of your personal toiletries. I will definitely be back for my next stay. Oh yea please note it gets COLD at night - bring a good sweat suit to jump into!

I liked everything about the place- The only complaint I have (I was warned about this from the host too) the boardwalk food was not good but the local doordash options were great! Also this should be expected but there are a lot of people gone on drugs, they mind their business for the most part but they’re there.

Wonderful: the accommodation, the location, the facilities (bike, sup, mat…) and the host. Gary is super friendly: always available for a coffe, a beber and a chat.

Location was fabulous and the property was perfect for what I was looking for. A nice getaway for those wanting some privacy, relaxation and the beach!

Location and people ❤️
