Banana Bungalow Hollywood is a converted former motel with a nice outdoor area and courtyard, giving guests somewhere to sit in the LA sunshine. Hostelworld visitors tell us their ‘good atmosphere invites [guests] to hang out and have fun’; it ‘has a very good vibe, perfect location and there is always something going on’ such as tours, parties and barbecues. Our travellers say this is ‘a funny, cool and a clean place for young people’. We like that this hostel has parking, ideal for those on a road trip up the West Coast.
I already rated this hostel with 5 stars, but this time I think 3 is enough. A few years ago I was there and the breakfast was much better, this time I found the service very poor and the guy at the front desk spent the whole night talking loudly and I confess that it bothered me a lot. I was frustrated because I chose this hostel for the wonderful experience I had the first time, I won't be back.
Great experience! We had a really nice private room. Moe is the best! He helped with some booking issues. The room was beautiful and clean. We walked everywhere, just need to be self aware and that there are homeless people everywhwre in LA.
