“ Upon arrival I was told I needed to pay $30 per night, as the deposit I had already paid was paid to Hostels.com and that it was not deducted from the total payable. RIP OFF!!! Every other hostel deducted the deposit from the total owed. Bands played in the hostel followed by kareoke and loud parties until early in the morning at a level that meant I got little sleep the first night. If you want to sleep whilst staying at night, then simply stay somewhere else!! ”

“ If you like a party house, this is it! It didn't bother me as I used my ear plugs when it was time to get some sleep. The music was awesome and the hostel had an upbeat feel... Food was good also and the Thai restaurant next door was delicious and cheap. The staff was also helpful and friendly. I would stay here again. ”

“ Overall, our stay was good. We wouldve enjoyed more female dorms rather than mixed and a better breakfast. ”

“ The infrastructure is a bit run down (eg, broken blinds) but there is a definite pride in the place. Staff were efficient, helpful and professional. I left a couple of items behind & they were posted back to me without delay, staff retuned my calls when they said they were etc. A couple of things were disapointing such as there not being bike hire when the website said there was and missing out on a tour because the number of places listed on the sign up form exceeded the number that could go. ”

“ It's good for the party folks and therefore a bit noisy, but the staff is nice, there's place for cars, the breakfast and location (20 Min walk to Hollywood) are good. The neighborhood is a bit gloomy. ”

“ Pretty good hostel, except there was only 1 staff member who was nice, and the others were VeRy rude. They made me feel like a fool for asking any question, and were never kind or went out of their way with anything. The guy at the end of my stay was nice, possibly so I would write a good review! Pretty good hostel apart from the staff! ”

“ Definitely to be recommended if one wants to meet cool people and have fun! Our room had its own kitchen and the hostel provided good opportunities to go party in the hottest nightclubs for little money! Daily room service provides a clean environment and free breakfast and often free barbeques the optimal atmosphere to have a wonderful stay. The location is good, but for Los Angeles a car is definitely recommended. Also a burger joint and gas station are right next door. ”

“ Hollywood Vine駅から徒歩圏内で、人通りは少ないですが治安は悪くありません。周りには数か所食べる場所やコンビニもあるので、便利です。部屋は清潔で、お湯もたくさん出て快適に使えました。毎週曜日決めでイベントをやっているようで、私が泊まった水曜日はカラオケパーティーをしていたため、夜23時頃までかなり騒がしかったです。学生寮の延長のような雰囲気ですので、そういった雰囲気に適応できれば快適に過ごせると思います。 ”

“ Very good hostel in my opinion. Free computers, a lot of parties and interesting things to do at the hostel. Great value for the money, very good location, less than 1 mile from Hollywood center. Cool staff, good options of tours to do in LA and close cities. Can't remember anything bat at this place. ”

“ Couldn't figure out how to work the shower haha, maybe there should be a diagram. Ant problem like crazy and they bite. Location is annoying for someone with a suitcase because it's a fair walk from the train station. Breakfast was good! Cereal and/or toast and tea and coffee too, cool if your budget is super mega strict. Bunk beds squeak like crazy! Extremely annoying, and you have to put your own sheets on. I would recommend checking out the Hollywood Youth Hostel just down the road. ”

“ If you are young and love to party THIS IS THE HOSTEL FOR YOU. The 10$ limo party is a great idea. They have activities for you EVERY night. Location is perfect, about 2 blocks away from everything. Liquor store and restaurants right on the corner. Staff was outgoing and friendly. ”
