Banana Bungalow West Hollywood Reviews

I had such an amazing time staying at Banana Bungalow! Everyone was really nice and there was such a great atmosphere. Each night there is something great to do, we arrived on a Saturday and that night had a $5 meal at the tiki bar downstairs (Massive portion sizes) then we went to one of the best nightclubs I have ever been to! Was such a good night out. The hostel is about a 30-40 minute walk to Sunset Blvd and Hollywood Blvd which is nice a sunny day otherwise a short taxi ride!

Staff rude and not helpful at all not ideal if your a solo traveller everyone sticks in there own little groups. So hard to meet people. They have free meals and drink only good thing about this hostel.. don't stay here

Had an amazing time! Much better than the 4 star expensive hotels we stayed in, would definitely recommend to anyone! Staff are super friendly and we had a great time :)

Initial impression not good, due to one member of staff who was very unhelpful, didn't give us codes for outer doors and was rude. However rest of the staff were really good, friendly and helpful. The hostel itself was really nice, in a good location- very close to bus services. Good common areas and evening activities. En-suites in rooms was a nice change. Down sides were the beds were rather old and rickety. Our room connected to next door= walking through ours. Favourite hostel to date!

Good bathrooms. kitchen awefully big but very difficult to work ovens. staff always busy n not able to talk to u or help. they have tours the towns tour is good but really u only c gates n fences of stars homes so wouldnt recommend. the have shuttles to disney land for 50 bux b warned u can get the bus for 6 byx return its really easy just look up metro bus service.

One of the better hostels I've ever stayed at, thanks

Great overall. Just a little bit noisy at night if you wanna fall asleep early.

Hostel is located in West Hollywood, making that a good convenient location to different areas of Los Angeles. It is in walking distance of shopping and some attractions, including CBS Studios. The public transportation for the area was decent as well, for what Los Angeles public transportation is. They have all sorts of information available at the hostel. Shuttle vans run to major attractions. Only con for me would be the noise in the lounge area & it being the only place to use the Wi-Fi.

2nd time I've stayed there - I'll be back. Value for money - great location - free booze & burger nights...what's not to like!

I love this hostel. Stayed here about 10 times. Friendly staff, great partys, always something organised any day of the week so real easy to meet people. They used to do a hot breakfast for $3 which i was gutted to find out they have stopped doing. I would and will be staying here again :-D

1) Misleading 'free shuttle', only one shuttle going TO the airport. You have to book your own prime time shuttle for around $15+tip 2) Some staff were excellent. The guy at the information desk is amazing, very friendly. Others seemed jaded and tired and wouldn't give you the time of the day. 3) A bit of a mess inside rooms. Toilet and sink was clogged up when I was there. The posters seemed to suggest this was a chronic problem. 4) Great location though, walking distance to things

Fantastic Hostel, very clean (Pretty strong smell of disinfectant though) Really friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast, wonderful new facilities, lots of room to chill, out door area and nice couches. I was only there for one night and didn't go out but it was a great hostel to stay at :)

Banana Bungalow is fantastic! They really offer so much for the traveler by way of information, planned evening options, breakfast is included, and you can by dinner for $5. Perfect! Really well located in West Hollywood and close to Sunset, Hollywood and Melrose. Day trips available for a good rate, I recommend it if you only have a few days in LA. The rooms are clean, the bathrooms are very clean and stocked up, awesome party and chill out/lounge areas. Beds are comfortable too!

Great place with a very relaxed atmosphere. Good tour selection, free drinks and food on activity nights, free internet, clean rooms and bathrooms, good kitchen....what more can you ask?? Stay here.

great hostel for a reasonable price!

very nice reception the one night time mainly, recommended location is in a nice aarea of la.

This place has fast internet, great breakfasts, delicious dinners for reasonable prices, and plenty of fun activities to help you enjoy the Hollywood experience. I had such a nice time I extended my stay...twice! I would especially like to thank the manager and assistant manager who handled a clerical error with style and grace. This is the place to stay in L.A.

Really nice hostel, staff are really friendly and make an effort to get to know people. It gets cleaned like 3 times a day. They have mac computers to use for free plus free wifi. A range of free breakfast foods. Great facilities. Heaps of fun everyday, great atmosphere, good rooms. Defo recommend!!

Beds are Flimsy, Ladders are unstable. Free Bowl of cereal in the morning and a few fun events.

Good location if you having shopping in mind, close to Melrose Ave, The grove, the beverly centre and robertson Bvd, quite clean, breakfast good.
