Above and Beyond
Was above and beyond what i could've expected. The facilties were well kept and maintenanced, staff kind and helpful, rooms and spaces clean, hospitality through the roof with special "BBQ" social parties in the evening. The location was super short, direct, and safe shot to all of Hollywood.

Confirmation didn't matter
My original confirmed room was not available and had to settle for a room that didn’t meet my basic standards.

Good location, parking is around 7-12 USD. Keep in mind this is a Hostel, so be prepared for noise late at night, especially on weekends. The location is convenient for several destinations around Hollywoo

super friendliness of the office staff, and really helpful.
Good 50's Cuban vibes. Nice touch with a pool table and foosball table. Could improve their breakfast though (fruits,..) and recycling options was not existent....or well hidden :)

This property was an excellent value. For an economical price tag, this place filled all the requirements. Great staff! Very helpful and accommodating. Downside is the neighborhood outside is not the greatest. However, there is a big metal entrance gate that makes you feel safe. Quirky and charming hotel.

Great little gated hostel with an awesome atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and fun. We took advantage of both the free breakfast and the bbq party (with a full free bar?!) and had a great time. We had a private room which was spacious, clean and comfortable. The location is a little shady, lots of homeless and tents but they keep to themselves and we felt safe behind the locked doors/gates. Just steps from lots of awesome food and shopping, super close to the main part of Hollywood blvd.
