This is the first time I have stayed in a shared room at a hostel, so I was a little hesitant before arriving. However, I was incredibly impressed with the hostel, especially as I booked last minute. The rooms and corridors were all exceptionally clean, and there were many bathrooms so you never had to wait to access one, despite a large number of guests. I get cold very easily, but was provided with warm bedding which meant I never required extra, and the other guests and staff were all pleasant. Event though the hostel is located close to Hollywood Boulevard, it is very quiet after about 9:00 pm, which was perfect as I had some very early rises. The hostel is brilliantly located close to major metro lines, which made it very easy to travel around the city. Overall, I was very pleased with my stay! I would not hesitate to return.

I stayed in this hostel when it was named the walk of Fame hostile back in 2017 and I was really impressed because you do have lockers that will fit a small suitcase even an expanding one plus extra height on there. They’ve added curtains around the bed for extra privacy, which I think is a fantastic thing and both genders have their own floor for bathroom and shower facilities. I don’t remember the changing room in my room before but it was a different room. I was in room 29 originally which didn’t have it but the lockers were kind of in a separate part of the room to the beds so I think each room has its own layout. I like the shelf and the light for the bed with the charge ports which were really handy and the only thing I disliked was the stairs going up and down - which are not the most user-friendly if you’ve got heavy luggage. However the pros so much outweigh the cons this is a minor inconvenience. The staff are absolutely fantastic and the location is a*. I would definitely stay here again.

This place is kept very clean. For its price, the breakfast is sufficient. But compared to Samesun Hollywood that I stayed, the coffee truly needs improvement. The hot chocolate is good but it's gone quite fast without being resupplied in time. There are some homeless people by the beach but in general harmless and there are police patrol vehicles around.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
