The place is great, the rooms are a little tight but is comfortable. It is in Hollywod Boulevard but you need to walk a lot.
I liked this hotel very much. Its location is pleasant for tourists. Hostel staff are organizing different events for their guests. If I visit LA next time, I'll surely stop here.
It was clean and nice, but it really lacks atmosphere
Booking via Hotelsclub is more expensive than somewhere else. You have to pay more than in your confirmation email. This is the hotel policy. They don t care nothing.
It's a mix of motel-hostel. In LA it's really hard to 'not-have-a-car'. But this hostel is located between two metro stations so it's kinda good. If you have a car its right next to the highway which -again- is an advantage. What bothered me most were the loud room mates. They watched tv in the deep night, so i guess it's a bad option to have a tv in a dormitory. All in all - this is a place that wants to acomodate too many ppl and too many 'options' in a small aeria. I think sometimes 'less' its better, sometimes you have to skip things.
Fantastic hostel, one of the best.
Perfect location,very friendly personal,a lot of free entertaiments!! Recommend to all!!
Had just a great time! Hostels has it all: Events, Commonplaces, Places for u alone... You're never alone (unless u want to :P )
A very very nice place to stay! The staff was quite nice, too. It's definitely a place for those who like big companies, noise and a loooot of fun.
This hostel is absolutely brilliant! No complaints whatsoever, really clean, housekeeping come into dorm rooms every morning without fail. Great atmosphere, activities and free stuff every night so great opportunities to meet people!! Staff are helpful and the location is pretty good. Really safe feeling as its completely enclosed and there's a guard and staff at night. Couldn't be more impressed :)
It was not for me ! The atmosphere is good but for partying !
a very good hostel. i'have been to many hostel in new-zealand en australia and compare to that this is one of the best. 3 days a week free dinner( very good). otherwise 5 dollar a good dinner
Awesome.
Great location. No common area when it rains, for the tiki bar is in the patio. The guy at the reception booked my shuttle to the airport at too late an hour, saying I would have plenty of time to catch my flight, instead I risked missing it, and there was not even much traffic. Count at least 1hr by car.
Good hostel to enjoy party's!
Generally nice I must say. In the dorm I was, however, it was in one of the rooms a total mess with womens clothing. In the night sometimes it was loud music disturbing the sleep quite a bit.
The dorms could be better but the staff is awesome. I would come back.
nice staff and people.
This is a great hostel, social events organised some evenings with free food! i dont know any other hostel that does that, its great! i will definately be recomending this hostel to anyone who wishes to stay in LA.
I am very satisfied with the overall service, except for one person that is rude, I believe she is form Japan, and she needs to learn more people skills, she does not know how to treat people
