Great location could smell better

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Mar 30, 2017via mobile
There is no elevator so have to lug luggage upstairs. Also the luggage storage room has no key or anyone looking at it so anyone could take the stuff in the room. The room was good but walls are thin so can hear noises outside. Also the bunk beds are squeaky. Breakfast was very basic. There are smells to the rooms so need to air out a lot more. The location is great and convenient and have place to get hot and cold drinking water!

This hostel is in a great location & easy to find just over the road from Hollywood Highland Station & the TCL Chinese Theatre.
The staff were very friendly & also helpful when i asked for information
I stayed in a 4 bed dorm which was spacey & the bed was decent.
The communal areas & the kitchen were well kept.
Location wise you are close to buses, trains, tourist things & so many good places to eat.
In Los Angeles when hotels can be expensive this is very good budget option!

We stayed here for two nights as a stopover for the remainder of our trip. It was easy enough to get here from airport took flyaway to union station then the train to the station outside the hostel across the road. Right on the boulevard right amongst everything. There's a good few steps to go up to reception and the girls floor but sure gives you some exercise. We were lucky that one of the guests helped us out. the showers and toilets are fine. Rooms are clean. The ceiling fan didn't work but a stand alone fan was placed in our room which didn't really reach the top bunks. When someone had checked out I accidentally forgot to put on my necklace that day and left it on the vacant bed and when I got back that day it had disappeared. The cleaners were the only people that would have been in the room. Reception seemed very uninterested about the situation and when I asked the cleaner she quickly brushed off ever seeing it. The mystery continues ..... I would definitely make use of the lockers for valuables it's just unfortunate I forgot to put it on before leaving that day. I'm gutted it is gone. Breakfast is bagels, jam/cream cheese and one of the mornings we had cut up oranges very basic.
You get what you pay for here but as I said location is good

The guy's at the reception are very uninterested and souned borred when you have Some questions. They give the right information but it doesn't sound They like their job. The hostel is on a great spot in at Hollywood boulevard! The mall and several musea are right next to the hostel. It is verry clean and you have lots of space in the rooms! Would recommend for a short stop in LA for a few nights if you can sleep trough the noice of the street, I do so I had no problem!

Thank you for your honest response. We will have a talk with the front desk and work on improving as you may have caught one or two of them on a bad day. Our staff has received high reviews before in the past so please dont feel this is an everyday occurance. We hope to see you in the near future.

I stayed here a few nights whilst travelling California. I shared a room with 5 other girls and the room was very clean. The location is perfect, right on the doorstep of Hollywood's Walk of Fame and close to the Chinese theatre, Madamme Tussauds, Hard Rock Café and shopping etc. About a 40 minute train ride to Santa Monica Pier and about 20 minutes from Beverley Hills. The only downside was the shower/bathroom in the hostel, was not clean at all. Apart from that, staff friendly and hostel is always busy no matter what time you arrive back. Free breakfast included is pretty good too.

I stayed in a 4 girl dorm, very clean good size, would be good to have more showers but that was fine. Beds are made everyday, towels are available, breakfast daily. Great location with a locked door downstairs so not just anyone can enter
