  • If you are not an animal party and like to be awake until the 3 am don't go there. The hostel is very well situated (in front of the dolby theater but facilities and cleanless are not good at all.

  • Liked the location, facilities and bedding. Found most of the staff to be rude and uninterested.

  • When I check-in, check-out, and everytime I ask something, a smile on the face of the member of the staff would not be too much. I am paying to stay there, the staff should remember that they do not give me a favour by letting me in and so, if it is a business as one told me once, they should behave like they own one. I cleaned my room when I arrived because there were a lot of papers and other garbage on the floor. For instance, receipts of the previous customers, dated 3 or 4 weeks before.

  • The location was perfect. The staff there were nice, but it wasn't the cleanest place. I wouldn't mind stay there another time.

  • Just location, if you are used to really cheap places then you won't mind staying here. I'm not demanding but for the location and price this place could be waaaaaaay better. Staff basically cares only if you checked in or out, not friendly at all. Clealiness is bad and guests also don't seem to care much about it. If you can't find any other place or wants to really stay in Hollywood, then go there.

  • Most staff were excellent esp the english vanderpuss brothers were really great and friendly and totally attractive as well...I will say the one staff member that really needs some training in customer service is bob..the short guy with the hat. About 4 paying guests were watching a t.v. show in the lounge and he just comes and grabs the remote and changes the channel in front of all of us...we were pretty surprised..he was rude and acted like he was a guest rather then a staff member

  • It's the kind of place you just sleep and shower. The showers aren't great, not much privacy. But like I said if you just need a place to sleep while exploring the city it's perfect since the red line of the subway is right across the street.

  • At first hostel seemed run down and dirty,. but that just Hollywood at 11pm. but rooms are clean and bathrooms are new and clean. kitchen area and Carpets are what let it down, Free alcohol on fri and sat to get the party started. your right amongst it on the Blvd, so great for exploring. Some Staff are great.. and a real hoot to hang out with after hours.

  • One guy was grumpy, just like all the other reviews said, The Australian/Kiwi guy was super neat though :) FANTASTIC location, right in front of a Red Metro rail stop and Starline tours 1st stop. If you're debating over this or Banana Bungalow Hollywood CHOOSE THIS ONE. Far, far cleaner and friendlier. Nice bathroom here too. Sturdy beds that don't squeak much. Linen put on the bed for you. short walk from a good/cheap supermarket. Not scary for a young female travelling alone, thank god.

  • The staff was very rude and unfriendly. If I could, I would punch all of them in the face. The rooms were hot. The other guests were unfriendly and foreign. I would not stay here again.
