We originally booked a private room at the "Banana Bungalow" but got immediately transfered to the Orbit. Not a problem so far... But trouble started as soon as we got there and even went on after we left. First of all the staff's pretty unfriendly and always busy with being busy. Plus the rooms (we stayed in #1) have some... more

Orbit was great...I had a good time staying there. There was lots of partying, and lots of free stuff like dinner, breakfast...a free shuttle to the sunset strip where there are lots of clubs and bars. The LA City tour was awesome...Boogie really made us feel welcome and gave us a guide to having fun in LA. Check in was... more

We arrived at the Orbit to be greeted by a pretty rude guy at check-in, he shoved various bits of paper toward us for us to sign, and meanwhile he was on the phone chatting about some girl buying a car. We had booked a private double room, en-suite which was up-stairs and faced the road. The single glazing was... more

Room Stayed in a private queen room, was very spacious. Clean bed, room not serviced by maids, but dorms are cleaned daily. Ground floor private room was next to the road and with large single glazing windows, the noise got a bit ridiculous, especially at weekends. However, its LA so sleeping should not be a priority! Bathrooom En-suite bathroom was... more

My friend and I booked at the HI in Santa Monica and spent a couple of days there. It was easy to get there from the airport with Santa Monica Blue bus (one-way: 0.75$). Our room got 6 beds with large lockers where you can put your backpack. The common bathroom was in the corridor but really clean. Good location... more

I booked my 3 nights of accommodation via STA Travel UK's website in February 2007, for a double room with ensuite over the period 26/29 March. I'll start with the bad stuff. Check In. I arrived with another guest in an airport shuttle. We had to wait fifteen minutes before someone came to check us in. When the girl (who... more

Stayed here in a private room for three nights last month. Excellent value. The Facilities: The room was sparse but spacious. The beds (double + bunk) had clean linens. We had a bright, airy private bathroom with heaps of hot water and decent pressure- very clean bathroom. The room had satellite television and a fan. We had a balcony facing... more
