I recently stayed at The Vibe and whilst it is not the nicest hostel around, I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, especially when I had to stay an extra nite unexpectedly (due to inefficient Greyhound) and rocked back up at 12.05am. Many thanks to the really cool security dude Mike !!!!!

Great tv room and party room etc and I think young people would really dig this place. If you want quiet then this is not the place but if you want people and a bit of a atmosphere and music then this is for you. Oh ... you may need to bring your own AC with you as well.

  • Liked — The staff - especially the security guy
  • Disliked — No AC but they do provide fans, also noise level of younger guests until wee wee hours, but they are told to quit by security guy.

I stayed there for a time and the owner, Joe, is not nice in anyway not to mention some of the workers there. They treat people like trash and book you in rooms left unclean. This place is a LAST RESORT! They also go by the Banana Bungalow - FORGET THE TRIP....

I stayed at The Vibe a few times and it was always a pleasure to go back, but I have to admit that the last time I went back it wasn't the same. The Orbit took over the place and it has a different flavor. Uptight and arrogant. There was a gentleman running the place, I believe his name is Vlad, who's no longer there. An employee
who once worked at the Orbit said that he was set up by the Orbit management, something they'd been trying to do for a long time. The place isn't being ran professionally and it's more about what the staff wants rather than what the guests want. They don't make you feel comfortable, they don't smile the place sucks. If anyone knows where Vlad is, please say hello from London. The ladies at the embassy miss him.

Disappointed guess.

  • Liked — my friends were with me
  • Disliked — Not enough attention and politeness. Very un professional

This is my second stay at The Vibe and I will be back. The location is perfect; 60 seconds from the Hollywood Freeway (101), and a three minute walk to the Hollywood/Vine Metro Station. Whether one is driving, walking or riding underground, the location is superb. All of the Hollywood Haunts I wish to see are within walking distance. The Vibe rocks with guests from all corners of the world. It provides excellence in every amenity, convenience, and best of all, security. I especially enjoy the modern appliances and fantastic design in each room. I really hate to leave! Finally, Lara, the New Manager is running a tight ship; staff works non-stop and we are going to barbeque and play basketball in the Courtyard on Saturday at Seven! Yippee!

  • Liked — State of the art wireless network, all new, way clean, people are cool and fun...
  • Disliked — Having to depart...

I loved the Vibe. The atmosphere was amazing, and the staf was even better. Prior to my stay, I had read some negative things about the staff and the area, but I experienced NONE of those things when i stayed there. The staff is undergoing some employee changes and its certainly a great thing! The people there made my stay comfortable and accomodated me when there was a problem. I felt just like family and loved it. The security guard has made the area super safe and I never felt a bit worried. The rooms were cleaned every day and everything was on point. The location was SUPERB and I will definately visit again in the very near future! A+++!!
