I booked a private room for two. I didn't mind sharing the bathroom facilities aside from the times it was super busy and I had to wait a while for either one of them to be available. I'm glad there was a kitchen available for use as it made reheating my food easy. The location was pretty great as it was not far at all from where I needed to go and a small grocery store nearby.
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

It’s been the best hostel I have stayed, it was really clean, the bed is comfortable and you have your own privacy. The common areas were great and they had everything you need. I also liked how the organize the food in the kitchen.
Great location in town close to the airport and the Waterfront Park, Went to run the marathon and was a great location to get to the start of the race and to get after the race. The room is confortable and although there is a lot of noise outside by the passing planes and trains I was able to sleep without a problem, the rooms have good sound proof. The hotel is a budget simple place and you get what you pay, don't expect luxury but is safe, clean and quiet.
Friendly people both staff and hostel dwellers. Bars a bit cheaper than LA with proper pints and free entry. Good competitive yet friendly welcoming pool playing at bars just up from the beach.. Winstons club had a truly great band playing with large group of banging musicians and multiple happening vocalists, great after a skin full of Hazy IPA, makes you dance on the wind, you just don't want it to stop...
I think one of the best Hostel I have ever stayed in. Very clean, good facilities, amazing breakfast that's included, super friendly and helpful staff. Great location, pretty close to the beach and to the Airport. I definitely recommend it and would come back.
The hostel was nicely decorated and pretty chill. Some days there are events where you can get free drinks a meet new people. The restrooms and showers were newly renovated and clean. This establishment is perfect for lone or budget travelers.
It was super close to the beach, the people was nice, and it’s in a safe area.
The breakfas was good, they have baggel, fruits and cereals, coffe and teas.
What I loved is they had a rental shop aswell, so you can rent bikes, surfboards, and lots of other outdoors stuff.
they also have a schedule in the main room where it shows different (free or super cheap) activities. I went to a free yoga class infront of the ocean, and I also got fish tacos for $1.5 in the restaurant near the hostel
Great location, nice free breakfast, helpful staff, communal areas were clean. Hostel was quiet and the staff were very good with keeping the place safe and secure, generally all round it was very good.
