What colours, what hippy LA style! My husband and I had a ball at this hostel! It was cheap, in a reasonably good location in Hollywood (about a 15-20min walk to the Kodak Theater), and the staff were AWESOME! We had a private double room, it was pretty small, but bearable. The breakfast was pretty basic, but there is a... More

We stayed in a private room at the Banana Bungalow aka Vibe Hotel. We arrived late in the evening but check-in was quick and friendly. The room was basic, but homely for a couple of travellers. It's a clean, bright, loud and funky! The bathroom / shower had a few ants but on the whole was good. Sleeping was occasionally... More

I had a 1 night stopover with a friend in LA before carrying on to Orlando. Was very handy to explore the tourist spots of LA that we had to see given the short time we were there. Arrived early in the morning so appreciated being able to have a shower after a long flight and store our bags until... More

Stayed here for 8 nights, paid to have a private room with ensuite. Great location, just a short walk to the heart of Hollywood. Free breakfast was a plus. TV in the room was also a good touch for lazy evenings after busy days. The hotel was mainly just used as a base - we'd leave in the morning and... More

This hostel was pretty basic just some beds and a bathroom to be shared with a group but it's location on Hollywood Boulevard was so convenient with the Walk of Fame right outside your door and Grauman's Chinese Theatre just a 15 minute walk. You can also see the Hollywood sign from the hostel. However, it was excessively loud as... More

if your looking for somewhere to stay in Hollywood look no further, this is the one. stayed in an eight bed dorm which actually had two four bed rooms in it, an awesome kitchen and a bathroom. free parking is the perfect bonus in LA, and not having to leave the hostel to party makes life a little too easy....

If you are a back packer or budget traveller, this is perfect. If you are looking for a hotel, go elsewhere. As a solo, female traveller in my mid twenties, this was perfect! I stayed in an all female room and always felt safe. I also stayed in a private room and I was very comfortable. However, if you are... More

I decided to stay at the place for one reason only. $22 a night stay. I knew what I was getting into when I booked a place. Only requirement that I had was that they provide free parking for my rental car. The place is pretty easy to find. Within walking distance from the heart of Hollywood. Parking can be... More
