I had a fantastic experience at this hostel! The location was perfect, within walking distance to Melrose Ave and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Our twin room was clean and comfortable with great amenities, including air conditioning and a fridge. I loved the variety of daily activities, but occasionally the noise from the surrounding area did disrupt our sleep. Overall, it was excellent value for money and I would definitely return.

I had a wonderful time staying at the hostel! The atmosphere was lively with plenty of activities that made it easy to meet new people, and the rooms were clean and well-kept. The only downsides were the limited breakfast options and some minor organization issues with booking. Overall, the value for the price was excellent, making it a hostel I'd recommend to anyone visiting the area.

I recently stayed in a female-only dorm and found it a great choice for solo female travelers. The atmosphere was lively with plenty of opportunities to socialize, although the bathroom cleanliness could have been better initially. It’s definitely a party hostel, so expect a fun vibe. Unfortunately, the surrounding area felt a bit sketchy, which made me hesitant to go out alone after dark.

My stay at the hostel was quite enjoyable overall. The private rooms were clean and fairly spacious, making it a good value for the price. I loved the outdoor area, but it would have been better if the bar offered alcoholic beverages. The location was great, just a short walk from the nightlife. However, my experience was marred a bit by the check-in process and some noise issues from maintenance staff during the night.

I had a good experience overall at this hostel, especially considering the budget-friendly price. The private rooms were decent enough, and I appreciated the friendly atmosphere. However, the noise from outside sometimes interrupted my sleep, and it would have been nice to have the balcony doors open for some fresh air.
