Los Angeles Backpackers Paradise Hostel

Nothing at all

This place is a joke. I arrived there 12:00 am and they could not check me in because I did not have my international passport with me. Even having a copy of my international passport the girl did not accepted. I could easily had sent her the copy through e-mail but it didn`t work. She said it was a house rule for the bed price I was paying and that these instructions was on booking. The thing is I haven`t read anything like that. If you have a so important rule like this it should be posted right in the bedroom`s selection, so it can be clear for the client. She said she wishes I had called them for instructions. What? Result: I was with no place to sleep 12:30 am. Tried some places around but it was full or it was too expensive. So I had to pay an uber back to the airport and spend the night there. This was so frustrating. I Love booking but I really cannot understand how they still have a place like this is their listing. So many bad comments and yet not clear with their costumers. I was so angry and I really hope booking takes an action and take out this place from their list so it doesn`t happen with anyone else. Ps: I was aware of bad comments but I still want to give it a try since I was spending just few hours there and the price seemed fair.

Free to smoke

Everything

I enjoyed the free shuttles that were available and the pool area was inviting and entertaining

Not having firemen do checks while I'm in the room, bathroom needed some better up keep, more information about everything that's offered (shuttles)

any

If you have a chance, stay somewhere else. They told me that when I arrived at the airport I would call them to pick me up. They would pick me up in 30 minutes. 45 minutes passed and nobody came, so I called again, but they told me the same thing. No one appeared and I had to arrive in uber. Upon arrival they were not kind to me. The room dirty and with insects. The next morning I had to return to the airport, they took me back to the time they prevented me from coinciding with breakfast so I could not eat anything at the accommodation. I do not recommend it.
