Banana Bungalow Hollywood Hotel & Hostel - Hostel in Hollywood - 5920 Hollywood Blvd, USA

So happy we picked this hostel! The staff were very welcoming. The building had gates and front door codes changed regularly. Generally parking in Hollywood is easily over $25-50, so paying only $11 for secure parking was fantastic! The free breakfast was simple, and filling. Some of our room mates used the ensuite kitchen to make scrambled eggs. The cleaning crew cleaned our dorm every single day. The location is close to Griffith observatory, Greek Theatre, and Hollywood Bowl. Overall, it was a great value: clean, safe, free breakfast, friendly staff! Will be back!

Amazing place to stay. Love the cool rooms and common spaces ,especially the tiki garden where we ate our free breakfast, I'm telling you, you have to stay here. The room was super clean and it had kitchen in it. I cooked the spaghetti dinner and it was awesome. I love all the fun people I met there and can't wait to get back. BTW they have secured super cheap parking. Love the banana 🍌

Fantastic spot on Hollywood Strip. I loved the kitchen and dining area in my room, I made scrambled eggs at 2am. Cheap parking that was secure and played billiards all night. Super friendly staff, love the Palm Tree Garden in the back. Can't wait to go back, happy travels.

Would definitely recommend! Originally chose because it’s right on Hollywood Boulevard, but finding out the rate was the cheapest of any place around was another perk. Stayed 2 nights in room 201. Wasn’t huge but didn’t need to be, was very comfortable and had everything you’d need. Coffee and continental breakfast was served every morning which was nice. All members of staff I encountered were polite and friendly. I thought it was really cool how there are group activities planned every night like barbecue dinners, karaoke, nights out, etc. so you can meet other people and get out to see the city without being alone. People were hanging around pretty often, but it wasn’t loud by any means. And the front door requires a passcode to get in which definitely makes you feel safe. I would 100% stay here again.

The building itself if nice, and the majority of staff go out their way to make sure you’re having a good time. However, the rooms are extremely dirty - I stayed for 5 days and the carpet and kitchen didn’t get cleaned properly in that time. The shower drain was blocked and kept backing up. Multiple incidents where there was no toilet roll. It was a very cheap option but I think the basics should still be right.

Great place for a value. Obviously a hostel, so don’t expect too much. Breakfast was good and staff is welcoming. Maybe parking spaces could be more, but that’s out of reach of the property, since they are located near the hollywood.

rooms are pretty spacious and come with a bathroom and a kitchen. regarding beds: the top bunk is a hassle to get on but other than that fairly comfortable. what i really loved there is the community feeling – there are breakfast options (mostly tea, coffee and bagels) offered on a table and people just kind of get to know each other. very diverse group of dilly-dallyers and other silly ducks from different corners of the country and the world 🫶 located on hollywood blvd but to be honest it doesn't really feel like it. very eerie atmosphere in the streets with very few people, unless you head towards the more tourist-y part of the walk of fame.

They make you make your own bed. They didn’t have towels when we arrived and said they would have them later that evening. It wasn’t particularly clean either. One staff member was pretty nice, the other not so much. I wouldn’t stay here again but I guess it could have been worse
