The property is situated 12 km from Knotts Berry Farm, 14 km from South Coast Plaza and 25 km from Fashion Island. Queen Mary is 32 km from the hostel and Battleship Iowa Museum is 40 km away.

From the moment I arrived the staff were welcoming and helpful! My room mates were considerate and clean. There was no issue in sharing the bathroom and even late arrivals were super quiet and didn’t wake me. From a yummy pack and go breakfast to a space to work away the afternoon by the pool, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Hot tip for hostels, always bring an eye mask, expect to share a space, make some friends and have an economic pricing for your stay in a super expensive area of the world! Have fun!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Excellent value if you’re just looking for a place to sleep. Similar to a hostel but in a private residence. Option of a private room.

    During my recent visit, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the hostel. It provided a great opportunity to meet new people and have engaging conversations, resulting in unforgettable memories. The hostel's affordability is particularly noteworthy, especially given its location just minutes away from the city's top attractions. Additionally, the self-check-in process and the friendly staff made my experience even more enjoyable.

    Distance to Anaheim Conference Center is doable on foot, takes 1h one-way. Bus connection to MetroLink and AmTrak is easy and direct (twice per h). Location wonderfully quiet, no traffic noise (snoring roommates is hostel risk . . ). Staff very friendly, helpful and personable (includes a chicken that offers a morning welcome).
