Really nice and friendly place with lots of activities to do (ping-pong, outside bar, karaoke..). You can meet new people there. Paid parking included. Laundry room available the whole day. The possibility to make some food in the kitchen.

Mexico1 review“Friendly staff, good value and amazing location. Perfect for a few nights in the heart of Hollywood.”Some guests are not that clean but they made sure any imperfections were corrected ASAP. After all, this is a hostel...
Staff were friendly, beds were comfortable enough, room was quiet enough and breakfast was nice to have. The underground parking was great and I loved how they reserve your spot after you pay for the nights, so no matter how late you get back your spot will be waiting for you (other hotels fill up their parking and you're stuck outside).

No handicapped Accessibility! I had to wait outside the cold for somebody to open the service entrance to get in! I'm going to ACLU! SHOULD BE LONGER THAN 28 DAYS! CAN'T FIND ANOTHER PLACE! I wish I never came here.
It's good for the money and the people are good here! The staff was good!

Brazil1 review1 helpful vote“Friendly staff, good location. Great price.”It’s a hostel with a lot of young people and young people stay up late. Bring ear plugs in case you have issues with noises at night.
Good location, a few blocks away from The Grove and the Farmers Market.

United States of America5 Reviews1 helpful votePleasantThe place looks better in the photos honestly. The place appears a little dirty and is dilapidated. They allow smoking in the courtyard that all of the rooms share so you're almost constantly inhaling cigarettes. The "breakfast" they provide is just pop tarts or fruit. Hardly a breakfast if you ask me. The hallways smell of extremely harsh chemicals. I don't know what they clean with but it has an extreme odor. Our room odor was generally fine. Overall, we felt slightly grossed out staying here for our time.
I liked the location which was close to many bus routes and cool sights.

Argentina12 Reviews3 helpful votes“It excels on the not so important things, but doesn't fullfill expectations on the main ones.”It sadly fails to deliver on the most basic ammenities. The wifi works on and off,, the showers are subpar and the breakfast variety really depends on the day (sometimes you will find the kitchen staffed with baggels, pop tarts, muffins, toasts etc, and some other days there will be nothing but coffee).
Amazing place, very big and, it has everything from ATM, laundry, kitchen ,billiard, table tennis table, vending machines, patio, outdoor bar, etc. It hosts a free barbecue every friday night. Also, the location is fantastic.

Australia10 Reviews“Great stay! Would overall recommend given the price and what you get for the stay. As a couple in a private room it suit”Some of the staff were a bit rude. Others were great though. The aircon control was scattered, some nights it was super hot and others cold. Didn’t make any sense.
Great value for money. Very casual vibes with organised parties/drinks every second night. Rooms relatively clean and contained all the things we needed. You get what you pay for basically!
