Ok, so this is a bit of a strange review. We only stayed one night, arrived at the hostel on a Friday and it was awesome. That night there was a free keg, lots of cool people, good, cheap food and just a really good atmosphere. Unfortunately me and my friends had some money stolen by a guy in our... more

Worst bed I have ever slept in. Had a private room. The fan did not have a cover over it ... very dangerous. Needs work done on the hotel, Seems dirty. Breakfast is depressing and the internet never works. On the other hand it is in a very good spot and they have lots of information and deals on stuff... more

I had an okay time there, but... 1) the place is very run down (although what is there is kept clean). There are also pretty much no cooking facilities. 2)Security was very very bad, as anyone from the street can walk into the hostel, the back door of our room didn't lock at all so basically anyone had access to... more

We stayed here for four nights and were very happy with it. The hostel is in a realy good location on Melrose Avenue, walking distance to shops, restaurants and bars and a short taxi or bus ride to Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards. The rooms are basic but comfortable and the staff helpful. They organise day trips to the theme parks,... more

This was one of the best places i stayed, and i have been a few places. The rooms were nice and clean and the staff were great. Some of the previous reviews on here slam the place and i don't see it. I loved the place and would recommend it to anyone... more

I was lucky, staying in a 4 bed room - only with three other girls! Beds were not really stable, but ok to sleep in. Own bathroom in each room which is great! If you're on 1st floor you can go and sit outside in front of your room - great to meet people! Breakfast included - cereal and toast,... more
