Info & Description

he BANANA BUNGALOW HOLLYWOOD is a very popular international destination with a great location. We are right on Hollywood Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood with a view of the Hollywood sign from our courtyard. You’ll be walking distance from all the action and close to the subway and bus stops to get around LA. It’s an “oasis for backpackers” with all the amenities, activities and events that travelers truly want.

This includes a friendly staff to help you, a fun international crowd to hang out with, cool rooms, lots of hip common space, a great vibe and atmosphere, and daily events and activities that supply lots of fun for free or very cheap. This is a “Cool Hollywood Motel” that has been remodeled into a “colorful retro designed” hostel, and right next door is LA’s best Thai restaurant with fantastic $5 lunches and delicious $10 dinners.

ROOMS: Dorms have 6 or 8 beds with a private bath and its own kitchen, that’s right, we are the only hostel in Los Angeles with kitchens in most of our dorms. They also have a colorful décor plus cable TV with hundreds of channels and they are all kept very clean with our high standards of housekeeping. Plus we have the best private rooms of any hostel in LA and at the cheapest prices ranging from small to deluxe with kitchens, great for couples.

  1. Jesus From Mexico On November 30, -0001

    The place is great, the rooms are a little tight but is comfortable. It is in Hollywod Boulevard but you need to walk a lot.

  2. Valentyn From Ukraine On November 30, -0001

    I liked this hotel very much. Its location is pleasant for tourists. Hostel staff are organizing different events for their guests. If I visit LA next time, I'll surely stop here.

  3. Juan Pablo From Mexico On November 30, -0001

    It was clean and nice, but it really lacks atmosphere

  4. Erhard From Hungary On November 30, -0001

    Booking via Hotelsclub is more expensive than somewhere else. You have to pay more than in your confirmation email. This is the hotel policy. They don t care nothing.

  5. Grzegorz From Poland On November 30, -0001

    It's a mix of motel-hostel. In LA it's really hard to 'not-have-a-car'. But this hostel is located between two metro stations so it's kinda good. If you have a car its right next to the highway which -again- is an advantage. What bothered me most were the loud room mates. They watched tv in the deep night, so i guess it's a bad option to have a tv in a dormitory. All in all - this is a place that wants to acomodate too many ppl and too many 'options' in a small aeria. I think sometimes 'less' its better, sometimes you have to skip things.

  6. Danny From England On November 30, -0001

    Fantastic hostel, one of the best.

  7. INNA From Ukraine On November 30, -0001

  9. Elena From Russia On November 30, -0001

    A very very nice place to stay! The staff was quite nice, too. It's definitely a place for those who like big companies, noise and a loooot of fun.

  10. Amy From Ireland On November 30, -0001

    This hostel is absolutely brilliant! No complaints whatsoever, really clean, housekeeping come into dorm rooms every morning without fail. Great atmosphere, activities and free stuff every night so great opportunities to meet people!! Staff are helpful and the location is pretty good. Really safe feeling as its completely enclosed and there's a guard and staff at night. Couldn't be more impressed :)

  11. Helene From France On November 30, -0001

    It was not for me ! The atmosphere is good but for partying !

  12. Maurits From Netherlands On November 30, -0001

    a very good hostel. i'have been to many hostel in new-zealand en australia and compare to that this is one of the best. 3 days a week free dinner( very good). otherwise 5 dollar a good dinner

  13. James From New Zealand On November 30, -0001

    Awesome.

  14. Elena From Italy On November 30, -0001

    Great location. No common area when it rains, for the tiki bar is in the patio. The guy at the reception booked my shuttle to the airport at too late an hour, saying I would have plenty of time to catch my flight, instead I risked missing it, and there was not even much traffic. Count at least 1hr by car.

  15. Sjoerd From Netherlands On November 30, -0001

    Good hostel to enjoy party's!

  16. Thomas From Sweden On November 30, -0001

    Generally nice I must say. In the dorm I was, however, it was in one of the rooms a total mess with womens clothing. In the night sometimes it was loud music disturbing the sleep quite a bit.

  17. Therese From Sweden On November 30, -0001

    The dorms could be better but the staff is awesome. I would come back.

  18. Cristiano From Brazil On November 30, -0001

    nice staff and people.

  19. kellie From England On November 30, -0001

    This is a great hostel, social events organised some evenings with free food! i dont know any other hostel that does that, its great! i will definately be recomending this hostel to anyone who wishes to stay in LA.

  20. Eduardo From Mexico On November 30, -0001

    I am very satisfied with the overall service, except for one person that is rude, I believe she is form Japan, and she needs to learn more people skills, she does not know how to treat people
