Historical building with a great atmosphere. The staff was very kind and helpful, they allowed me to check-in early Conveniently located in the center of Hollywood. Although the most famous boulevard is at the doorstep, there was no noise during the day and in the evening.

The property is nice and beautiful, I am surprised that someone wrote bad reviews about how it looks. It is antique, classic and very eclectic. Interesting decoration which I loved! It is clean, room and bed are comfortable. I would love to come back and stay in the top room in the next building, it looks magical ❤️

All hostels in Los Angeles

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I lived in the 4 bed female dormitory, it was comfortable and big. Good for cheap stay in a prime location. Also, they let me store my luggage for free which was great.

This is by far the best hostel I've ever stayed. It's so clean, friendly and cosy and you can tell the staff take great pride in it. If you're looking for a quiet place in a great location look no further. I'd like to thank Pedro, Bea and all the staff who made my stay so memorable. Everyone was so friendly, cheerful and always willing to help. They made my stay so enjoyable and I can't thank them enough. Already looking forward to my next stay! :-)

Great location, spacious room and big lockers, spacious bathroom and pretty clean, good breakfast, nice common areas, a lot of activities (I didn't participate but it is a nice option especially when travelling solo). They even provided towels (which is not often the case in hostels). With the reception and the key cards it also felt very safe!

Great to find Hummingbirds just up the road. Friendly helpful staff in great location. Lots to do and after catching a number 1 bus up to the Metro you can get anywhere real quick and travel all day with a 5dollar capped Tap bus and train card, magic....Belles bar just opposite Samesun hostel is nice safe bar...
