It's comfortable and cozy. The location is perfect a one-minute walk from the Walk of Fame. The kitchen is organized and the bathrooms are clean. We like the vibe of the hostel, it's vintage but well-looked after.

Great tourist location. In the very center of Hollywood. Just in front of Dolby Digital. Lots of cafes, bars, restaurants, shops nearby. Although it's hostel, but they have private separate rooms. Good Wi-Fi. Friendly staff. Pretty big kitchen and common area. Shared bathroom also is pretty big.

All hostels in Los Angeles

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.

    This is by far the best hostel I've ever stayed. It's so clean, friendly and cosy and you can tell the staff take great pride in it. If you're looking for a quiet place in a great location look no further. I'd like to thank Pedro, Bea and all the staff who made my stay so memorable. Everyone was so friendly, cheerful and always willing to help. They made my stay so enjoyable and I can't thank them enough. Already looking forward to my next stay! :-)

    Great location, spacious room and big lockers, spacious bathroom and pretty clean, good breakfast, nice common areas, a lot of activities (I didn't participate but it is a nice option especially when travelling solo). They even provided towels (which is not often the case in hostels). With the reception and the key cards it also felt very safe!
