Would not recommend!! The crowd is primarily older, late 30s / 40s and on drugs. Tiny lockers and there was no room for my luggage because the people in my room were living there full-time. The room and all my clothes smelled like smoke after. The men were all really creepy and I was woken up 5+ in the night by multiple 5 minute alarms, full volume podcasts at 3am, and really drunk women in my room (apparently the drinks are free so that’s the crowd). Avoid unless old drug addicts are ur thing

My boyfriend and I rented the private double room with attached bath for one night and it worked out great. Definitely worth it over a hotel!

Hostelworld guests have said Banana Bungalow West Hollywood is "really well located in West Hollywood and close to Sunset, Hollywood and Melrose" and that they recommend it "if you only have a few days in LA". This friendly hostel offers free BBQs on their terrace, free Wi-Fi, large $5 dinners and shuttles to Disneyland, Venice Beach, SeaWorld and more. Our travellers tell us there's "always something organised any day of the week so it's real easy to meet people".
