Very friendly staff and top location. However the hostel lacks a convenient space for socialising and hence I found it difficult to meet people. Though my fee was waived by Kevin, a great gesture, charging for towel and internet use puts the hostel on the backfoot immediately. Including the fee for all would appear better in my opinion. Similarly, in not making the bed for visitors the hostel is a step behind the competition - minor but noticeable. Despite this, had a top time.

It's more of a hotel than a hostel but not necessarily in a good way. There was no real common area. Kitchen was tiny and breakfast was oats and hot water. There was no luggage storage, we had to leave our bags at the reception. The general feeling seemed unwelcoming mainly because of the rules posted everywhere on the walls like no using facilities after the check out and charging extra for late check out (even 5 minutes). On the upside staff were very friendly and helpful.

Dear Katarzyna, We are sorry you did not fully enjoy your stay with us. We do have rules posted on the doors of rooms to help maintain the safety of all our guests, and to help guests become familiar with the check-out procedures. Unfortunately due to safety regulations we cannot allow guests that have already checked out to remain in the hostel common areas. We do however allow the guests to remain in the spacious lobby area. We hope you will choose to stay with us again if you return to Los Angeles area. Sincerely, Orange Drive Hostel

Had a very comfortable time. Very relaxing considering that it is so close to so much action.
