Property Description

SEE THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN FROM OUR COURTYARD !

Our hostel is a very popular international destination in a great location. We’re right on Hollywood Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood. You'll be centrally located in Los Angeles and within walking distance of all the action. We’re also close to the subway and bus stops to get around LA.

Our hostel is an oasis for backpackers, featuring all the amenities, activities and events that travellers truly want. This includes friendly staff to help you, a fun international crowd to hang out with, cool rooms, lots of hip common space, a great vibe and atmosphere, and daily events and activities that supply lots of fun for free or very cheap.

This place was a cool Hollywood motel that has been remodeled into a colorful retro-designed hostel.

Each of our dorms has six beds plus a private bath and its own kitchen. That's right; we’re the only hostel in Los Angeles with kitchens available in our dorms! The six-bed dorms have six beds in one room, while the eight-bed dorms have four beds each across two rooms. They also have colorful decor plus satellite TV with hundreds of channels. There’s free lockers in every dorm as well as free linen and free luggage storage.

All of our rooms are kept very clean according to the high standards of housekeeping. Plus we have the best private rooms of any hostel in LA and at the cheapest prices, ranging from small to deluxe with kitchens. Great for couples!

Our common space is fantastic, featuring a huge, warm and welcoming courtyard that has music, palm trees and a sidewalk café. We also have a billiards room with music, dancing, live music, comedy shows and karaoke stage, a movie theatre with big screen and 5.1 surround sound and a Tiki garden with sunbathing and music.

There’s coin-operated laundry machines with free soap.

We have tons of freebies for our guests, like free internet, free Wi-Fi, free breakfast, free foosball, free ping pong, free basketball and free barbeques.

Our friendly staff can help you get free TV show tickets, special

Pros: - location close to Hollywood Street and a lot of attractions - reasonable price for the area - friendly and helpful staff Improvements: - rooms could use a makeover. No curtains near the beds so limited privacy - the breakfast could have more variety - limited parking space inside the hostel. If you are late you might need to find parking outside

Cool spot, with great location and interesting vibes that really match what you would expect from a hostel in Hollywood. There a few limitations however, specially in the facilities.
