    The room could have a better smell. I kinda felt like it was a little humid but definitely tolerable. Also the AC was loud but with ear plugs it’s okay.

    You can see that there was effort put into the hostel with the goal to let the guests feel the most comfortable possible. It’s modern and has curtains around each bed that provide privacy. Also there is staff at the front desk all the time that is very friendly! There are privat showers and changing rooms, too.

    The staircase on the way in is very steep and there’s no lift, which obviously cannot be changed, but just bare that in mind if you have a lot of luggage.

    Location was so central, didn’t find it noisy, beds were comfortable, plenty of space in the rooms, shower worked absolutely fine, love the movie posters in the toilets! The staff were so friendly and helpful, kitchen was so clean and everything was easy to locate, breakfast was also nice. Felt safe the whole time which for two 20 year old girls from the uk in Hollywood is very good.

    Location and the staff were great. Kitchen facilities and showers/restrooms could be improved. More electrical equipments will help at busy time, e.g. microwaves, toasters and kettles. Kitchen facilities are a bit disjointed over two locations, which doesn’t help. More shower cubicles will help.

    Given it is a hostel, some smells can't be avoided. But my room was great and I had my essential oil stick with me that masked the smell. Overall, it was a good stay.

    Breakfast was great. The location was great. There was security at night which made me feel comfortable. The locks on the door felt secure.

    More maps round the property, as I kept getting lost coming out of my dorm room. I didn't find the coffee in the other little kitchenet section until the final day... :D

    I stayed in a 4-women dorm. I liked the beds had a curtain around the bunk for privacy. the rooms had ample space and a small tall thin locker for valuables. Everything bagels with peanut butter and jam available everyday. I didn't find the coffee until the final day... The side of the hotel I was on, wasn't too loud. The location was brilliant for Hollywood Hill hiking and the stars! Easy to find on the main street too.

    There was a certain odour in the room and the bedsheets that didn’t go away. The building is pretty old and the bedrooms look like they haven’t been renovated for years. Breakfast was relatively poor.

    Clean rooms and bathrooms. Curtains around the beds were a big plus and added to privacy. Location is very convenient, right opposite to metro, and right on the walk of fame on Hollywood boulevard.

    Nothing :)

    It was located centrally right on the boulevard near all tourist attractions. Everything is in walking distance, restaurants, Walmart, Sephora, convenience stores, sightseeing tours, ATM etc. I felt safe walking around at night. I live in a major city back home, so it’s no different. The facilities are clean, my room was clean, my bed was comfy and showers and toilets were always cleaned on schedule. I never ate the breakfast though, just because I would go get my own food is all. No trouble connecting to the wifi, connection was strong. Also, the staff is very nice and attentive. I would stay again in future.

    Their breakfast time is Between 7am to 10am but from 8:30am there’s nothing left at the kitchen for those who will come for breakfast after 8:30am in my stay only first day i got the breakfast because I was early after that almost 3 more days i stay there but after 8:30am there was nothing left at kitchen. I think they should know how many guest will be expected for breakfast so that they keep enough in the kitchen

    overall I had a good experience of hostel. I like the place. it was very hygienic. Very friendly people are working there.

    There is no coffee I y he mornings. The bathrooms were far away from the rooms and there’s only one for men and one for women in the entire building there should be at least one for each per floor.

    Common toilets and showers, they are not in the room but on the floor.

    Perfect location on the walk of fame. Quite good breakfast, considering it’s included. Rooms are pretty big and comfortable, beds have curtains, there are also lamps and shelves for each person. Very good conditions for a reasonable price
