Banana Bungalow Hollywood Reviews

The staff were friendly. The location was very good. How to use the washing machine and laundry was quite confusing first, though. I put $2.00 to buy a $1.50 drink and I didn't get any change.

Solo traveller, stayed in 6 bed dorm. I loved everything about this hostel! The name is what caught my eye when making my booking. The people I met, the organised social events, the kitchen/bathrooms in the rooms even a tv in the room. The rooms are cleaned everyday. Staff are friendly. Great thanks, I will be coming back and recommending :)

Pretty good hostel, lots of activities etc, the room had a small kitchen in it, breakfast was good. My only complaint is that the bunk bed I had was super shaky and whenever the person in the bed below moved the whole thing swung like crazy. They should consider securing the beds or replacing them with sturdier framed beds. The location was good (LA is a big sprawl though obviously), but there are a lot of strange people in the area!

This is one of the best hostel I've ever stayed in! This is litterally perfect, the staff was very helpfull and all the tours and activities were great ! I totally recommend it

Great location! Location and secure parking were really the best part of this hostel for me. The staff were also very nice/helpful and I appreciated the passcode security access to the hostel. Dorms were simple, but included a kitchenette and bathroom. Dorm bed was comfy enough, breakfast was available (cereal, bread/spreads, and coffee/tea), and the tiki lounge area was cute. It's not my favorite hostel, but I would absolutely stay again if in the Hollywood area.

Nice hostel in an excellent location. Been there for only two nights and I was a really awesome part of my trip!

This hostel is super rad! one of the best ones ive stayed at. it has the perfect southern california vibe, and is in a great location. subway only couple blocks away. trader joes also super close. The rooms are very spacious, equipped with kitchen space. I really liked the tiki lounge as well. the place has everything you need and more. will definitely stay there again when i go back to los angeles.

The place is great, something on every night ad easy to get to places from there. Had issues with a creepy guy making the girls in the room uncomfortable but the staff were fantastic in resolving the situation and removing him.

I would recommend Banana Bungalow to my friends. All said!

Genuinely really liked this hostel, really glad i stayed. The staff were lovely, there is a massive courtyard area with ping pong, pool, TV and computers, and there are daily events on at the hostel like karaoke, party buses. Its a good place to meet people. I would go back.

I really enjoyed my time in Banana Bungalow. The hostel is nice. They clean the rooms everyday and try to organize different events. Especially Tuesday nights are great, lots of free food and drinks. Some nights are really fun but some nights can be very quiet too. The only problem is the location. Hollywood is really not a nice area to stay. it might be a better idea to spend some days close to the beach.

Value for money, great location, activities everyday...

great hostel! awesome parties, everybody on the staff was very receptive, I had a great time!

The only criticism I would have is that the sheets provided for the beds are not warm enough. We were provided with a thin sheet to sleep under and as a result were freezing every night. Something more substantial is required.

Im from argentina, I spend 3 days there itss a grat hostel I would go back. itsa great place to know people becaouse every night the hostel organize some BBQ o pizza or somethink where you dinner with all the people of the hostel. I didnt like very much the location of the hostel because if you walk to one side was the hollywood blvd an its nice walk, but if you go to the other side was more poor. I never had some problem and arrived every night late at door. Very safty inside regards!

women staff could really work ib friendluess and customer service.

Hostel could be amazing, but staff are indifferent and they don't market trips/evenings out etc well enough. Location is excellent though, right on Hollywood Blvd. Rooms averagely clean, with limited kitchen items (e.g. 1 mug for a room for 8 people, no glasses or cutlery, so not really a kitchen!!).

Excellent location, and very pleasant staff. The hostel offers travelers who like to be in a place where there are "lots of things to do" and a party atmosphere.

The hostel itself was decent. My buddy "lost" his phone there, but someone in the hostel "found" it later. They offered to return it, but it's been almost two weeks and he still hasn't received it. Don't trust the staff to get your stuff back to you, at least in a timely manner, if you forget anything there. Room was nice, and the general atmosphere was good. Parking availability was a definite plus.

Good to have a place to park the car, but sometimes it was blocked by another car. The room I stayed had a kitchen with microwave and refrigerator, but the carpet was really dirty. The lockers are really small, only for documents and a small purse. The breakfast is ok, but on saturday I arrived 30 minutes before it was over, and there wasn't any bread or cereal. The karaoke night is fun, but it is really loud in the rooms. I recommend it if you have a car, but you can't be much picky.
