Banana Bungalow Hollywood Reviews

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

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

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!

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.

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!!).

women staff could really work ib friendluess and customer service.

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.

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.

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.

nice quiet courtyard (apart from when there's parties, of course). good breakfast, nice dinners, lots of fancy facilities.

It was perfect, we met a lot of people and the hostel had a lof of activities.

meet some awesome people there!

This hostel is AMAZING stayed here twice and i will be back next time im in LA always friendly people working and fun people staying here, music playing pool table and ping pong where i was taught to play BEER PONG bloody brilliant! The place has recently changed hands but is still vibrant and fun, the new owner seems to be much more organized and is doing alot of work on the place, he is lots of fun and a great source for Hollywood tips. SO CLOSE to all the best shopping, aswell as good clubs

Great place! I was only there for two nights and was really tired after long flights so didn't party with the rest of the place, but it sounded fun. Great vibe around the place. Was close to all the sights and was just a funky little place to be!! Would highly recommend!!

This Hostel was cleaner than some pricey hotels ive stayed in. The housekeeping was friendly and those ladys did an awsome job. Most of the Staff was very nice, fun and helpful. They offer a lot of activites for day and nighttime. And even when it is a slow time,they try to arrange fun activities. Some nights i wished the staff would care about sleeping guests. 4am wasted guys screaming, knocking at every door, i hope somone would have told them to shut up. I tried but they would not listen.

Great value for the money! Nothing to complain! Id stay there again!!! ;) the other Bungalow is more party!!!

The hostel is great. There is kitchen and bathroom inside the dorm, so it's pretty practical. The only thing that I didn't like was the size of the lockers, because they are too small. They have lots of activities, it's pretty fun to stay there.

Pros: Middle of the action. If you don't have a car, this is the hostel for you. Cons: They charge 5 dollars for using Credit cards!! That's weird.
