"i had a short stay for 2-3 days. The location and price was ideal for my stay. Each dorm has a bathroom, they provide you a towel. The rules are fair for anyone staying who isn’t looking to party where they’re staying. The rules are fair for everyone staying there. I received a roll of toilet paper when I arrived and a towel. There’s wifi. This was my first hostel visit and I didn’t feel at risk at all. I met security guard Glen on my first night and he was a gentleman and ran the place well. I...

"I was greeted immediately by a guest who offered to help me with my bags & a staff member who confirmed my reservation. The area & house was clean. The bedroom has a privacy curtain for each bed. The kitchen had your basics except it didn't have a microwave. They do enforce quiet hours after 10pm, but even during the day it's pretty quiet. The neighborhood can be a little off putting to some, but it's down the street from the bus & if you drive it's in a central location to a lot of places (food...

"The hottest of hot water showers. If you like a hades-like water temperature this is the place. *Chef's kiss* The water pressure as well. A relatively diverse bunch of other travelers with which there was some great conversations...everything from restaurants recycling oil from the late 1800's to the specific technique of tattooing a more solid line on someone. There's a health food tienda/café about 7-11 minutes by foot. Bought a bag of sugar for around 5 bucks. Plenty of seating outside as...

"I had an excellent stay at Burlington Hostel. This was almost the perfect place to stay. The Hostel itself was fantastic with excellent Interior Design ideas I was very impressed by. The landscaping in the backyard did need work though. It was such a fantastic stay as far as the others staying at the hostel. Everyone appeared to be comfortable while staying there, and they were definitely very friendly. I enjoyed the communication I was able to have with those I did have conversations...

"I booked a private room with a private bathroom. There was plenty of living space but the bathroom was pretty small. The shower, sink, and toilet were all a tight squeeze. Walls were thin and there was an unpleasant pre-type smell upon entry. I loved the character of an older building. Common spaces were simple and cute and I liked the well-groomed courtyard. Location was fantastic and parking was a huge plus. Service was friendly and professional. I felt safe here. "

"I stayed at Elizabeth’s upstairs apartment with my husband and 5yo twins. Street parking was always available and the beach/pier was a short walk. We cooked in the kitchen and did laundry in the space provided. We used the beach toys, beach mats and umbrella. We opted to rent bikes as we wanted tandem bikes for our children which was an easy walk from the apartment, but beach bikes and helmets were available. Our kids had fun at the Tongva Park which is also a short walk away. Thank you...
