Liked: there s always something to do at the banana, and most of people are friendly. the rooms are clean and it s not so expensive.

Disliked: it could be a GREAT hostel if all the staff was good... unfortunetly 2 or 3 people from the staff are really impolite and sometimes agressive when you are not a girl...

Liked: Best hostel ive stayed in. The rooms were clean, free breakfast,wifi, and Internet. Great nights organsied including free dinner and beer on some nights. Cheap 5 dollar good meals on others. The perminent staff were great and gave good info not so much the desk staff but the other guys were always around to help out and give advice. Organized tours run everyday and were really great if you don't have much time in la.

Disliked: A couple of the front desk staff were a bit useless but the tour manager, tour guides and other guys are wicked and gave good advice and really helped out

Liked: it's a real party hostel. if you're into that it's ace. but if you're an early to bed person, this isn't the place for you.

Disliked: it's a pretty cool place. it's more on the un-nice side of west hollywood, away from the main party areas. but it's a pretty good location overall.

Liked: Private rooms are great size with a balcony, big bathroom (bigger than most hotels that are much more expensive). The 3$ breakfast was delicious!

Disliked: Low internet signal in our room, but there wasn't much to dislike. To be completely honest, going to a hostel my expectations are low so there wasn't much to dislike here as eventhough it wasn't perfect, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the place
