Liked: Free WIFI and breakfast, good location.
Disliked: Pushy tour operator and free airport pick-up is very limited - goes only once a day and is not organised properly. Also slight confusion about location as looks like hostel has recently moved a few blocks away and is called Banana Bungalows.

Liked: The hostel is perfect to stay in. Nothing too fancy, just somewhere to leave your bags and a bed to sleep in while you go exploring.
Disliked: No kitchen! A kitchen would have made this a perfect hostel. Also there was never anyone around, which was a bit weird. You'd hear people but never see anyone

Liked: The property is relaxed. The private rooms are comfy. Wifi is free and has good signal in most parts of the hostel. Friendly and helpful staff. Free Coffee and breakfast cereals and toast. Coffee is all day. GOOD COFFEE. Enjoyed the vibe and relaxed feeling. In the middle of alot of the attractions.
Disliked: There was not much I disliked to be honest. My balcony door didn't lock which i guess could be a problem is someone had climbed up the bin and tried to get in over the railings. would be hard to do though. Its fantastic for a hostel.

Liked: I stay here every time in LA. I love it every time and always meet the best people! It's a lot of fun and there are so many things offered here that aren't offered at other hostels. It's also in a perfect and within walking distance of The Grove, CBS Studios, and only a block away from two main bus stops. Definitely worth the stay!
Disliked: The only thing I dislike is that when the patio doors are open, it isn't usually bad, but if there are people smoking outside the cigarette smoke from outside is wafted through the first floor. It's only periodic, but if you're sensitive to that, I'd just recommend hanging out where it's not too intense. Aside from that, I love it here!
