Tradewinds Los Angeles Hostel

interesting socioeconomic blend;

pool too hot for lap swimming...

definitely go-to-again!

helpful friendly & excellent value.

Worst hostal experience ever. The hostal was overbooked so they couldn't give me a bed, although I had made a reservation in May for my stay in August. They put me in a house at a 10 min walk from the hostal with the staff, no lockers, no wifi, only one bathroom, messy, no facilities, front door was left open... They called it an 'upgrade'. After complaining several times they finally put me in a decent room, but that was at midnight and I had arrived at 7.30 pm. Worst thing was: no apology, no refund, not even a friendly word... I'm still waiting for an apology from the manager... Oooh and very unsafe neighbourhood! This is the first time I actually take time to write a review, because I'm so dissapointed :(.

Cockroaches found in the room (namely 117) and public restroom. Hard to park a bike. Stinky smell in some rooms, at least in 117 & 900. Permanent residents in some rooms. Some of them seem to have schizophrenia.

Nice free amenities: swimming pool, popcorn, evening drink, light breakfast, shuttles.

this the worst hostel I have seen

The hotel is fine, everything clean and staff is very friendly. But. I was waiting for a shuttle from airport for 3 hours. On my calls to the hotel girls there just said all the time : Wait for 30 minutes. Finally I was waiting more then 3 hours!!!!

Cool place, nice staff, hostels always get slightly low points on cleanliness but thats the hostel way, and we who stays on them accept that:-)

For the price and location, with free shuttle to the airport, it was what I needed. One shower for tons of people and not so friendly staff, but was still ok, and if you have time to spend it seems like a chill place.

It took over an hour to be picked up at the airport because I wasn't told that the van doesn't say Tradewinds on it and the driver never stopped to ask who was going to Tradewinds they just drove by. On my third call I asked if it says tradewinds and they said no it says Adventuer. It would have been nice to know that earlier

The staff are friendly. The hostel offers a high value considering the price. You get to see people from all over the world.

it is ok If you just want a very cheap bed for the night.

The place was ok. Cleanlines is fine. They change beding everyday. Provide clean towel. Only problem is that the stuff is always looking for tips.

It's worth the money but it's so so so dirty.

Good manège man, unconvience traffic and shuttle.

Thanks for free shuttles, cookies and tea/coffee with muffins! Also really liked the pool. Hostel is nice, clean, and really good for this price

Think I paid more than specified in reservation.

is good hostel

i meet a lot of people there

the dorm is clean and good

Unfriendly, unprofessional, rude RECEPTIONISTS. The receptionist was specifically being rude to me and refusing my booking without making effort to find it. Placed in different room than booked.

IMPROVED FROM PREVIOUS YEARS.

the staff must be more kindly and the bathroom cleaned.

very happy with my choice if staying with them

Very nice if you're staying just some days. A little bit far of the center, but the Shuttle-bus can bring you to the beach, airport and Metro station. In the dorm room there is no space to put your luggage.

I didn't feel the place was safe, specialy at night.

Anca was really nice and helpful from the staff. free food, free popcorn, games, pool.. its actually a pretty good hostel just a little far out but they have free shuttle bus that picks u up from the airport/hostel and takes u to the bus station etc. only prob with the 20 dorm room theres one bathroom and toilet! lol

Staff extremely accommodating and friendly, fun place to hang out, free shuttle to airport makes this hotel very convenient
