Backpackers Paradise hostel 4200 W. Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, 90304 dorms from $15.99 Backpackers Paradise is the cheapest hostel in Los Angeles, but it has the most amenities. I was completely surprised by this place. Anyone on a budget will clearly find this hostel to be the best overall value in Los Angeles.

Overview

Free everything is here! Free food (yum) free shuttle buses (airport, Venice beach) free drinks (champagne - for an hour each night). While most hostels will offer you free toast or something for breakfast, this hostel goes above and beyond any hostel I have been to as far as free food goes. Mornings - free coffee and muffins, all day - free popcorn (made in one of those movie theater type of popcorn poppers where you can just go up to it and take as much as you want) Afternoons - free cookies baked in their restaurant oven. Evenings - free buffet. You could literally live of the free food here. I like that.

Pool

This is also the only hostel in Los Angeles that has a pool. A nice one at that. The pool area is a great place to chill and there are dozens of tables to sit at, internet kiosks to use and video games galore.

Room Details

The Backpackers Paradise hostel offers both dorm rooms and private rooms. The dorms have 20 beds, which are spread out between two or three areas.

The private rooms here are huge and a great deal if you are two to four people traveling together (they are all suites some have a front "living room" as shown here, and others have two large bedrooms which are nice for small groups).

Bar and restaurant

The bar serves the cheapest beers I have found in Los Angeles. less than a dollar for a large beer, I love it. Even if you are broke, you can have a great time in the evenings in their bar. The restaurant is full service with a wait staff and a full menu. There are quite a few good deals to be had.

The hostel is located near the airport, so it is a particularly good deal when you are first coming to or leaving LA via plane. The location is not near tourist attractions, but the free shuttle to Venice beach is really helpful in that sense.
