In The Heart of Hollwood

Advantages: good sized room, brilliant prices and location
Disadvantages: internet charge, reception hours

...loved to go up the Hollywood Hills and get ‘trashed’ but I just wanted to see what LA had to offer, although if you’re up for that kind of thing the option is there as they do invite everyone. There is no dining room here they have a drinks machine and a lounge area to sit and watch TV which is small but ok, there is a kitchen to cook breakfast but you had to write your name on everything so it didn’t get stolen even though a lot seemed to use everyone ...
...5 minute walk off of Hollywood Boulevard which is where the Chinese Theatre is where the Kodak theatre is, also nearby the Metro a 10 minute walk. There is a supermarket, pharmacy about 10 minutes away as well as a selection of restaurants and a shopping centre. It is also next to the El Capitan Theatre where they film the chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live so I saw a few celebrities while there. There are lots of people on Hollywood Blvd giving away flyers ...

Want a bit of Hollywood on a Budget??

Advantages: Great cheap friendly helpful
Disadvantages: can be noisy in the evening

Hello my friends on Ciao! Hope you are all well and good; I have been away for a while as many of you know traveling the globe! I have so many reviews to write from my trip and have decided to start in order of the places I have visited! First stop LA baby! USA Hostel Hollywood was the first hostel I stayed in on my trip and with nothing else to compare it too I have to say I was very impressed, on arrival the staff were very efficient and helpful ...
...room, we also got a tour of the hostel and were shown all of the facilities straight away.

Address: 1624 Schrader Boulevard, Hollywood, CA 90028 Also if you are staying for more than two nights at the hostel you can get your bus shuttle ...

Review of USA-Hostel-Hollywood, Los Angeles

Superb location and value for money

Advantages: Location, great old fashioned feel to the place, quiet
Disadvantages: Possibility of a very squeaky bed.

...a 30 second walk from Hollywood Boulevard, the walk of fame and Graumans Chinese Theatre. Now whilst Hollywood is not the nicest place in the world, I've certainly been in more unpleasant areas, and to it's credit I think it has cleaned up of late, especially with the new Hollywood and Highland Centre around the corner, which also houses the Kodak Theatre, home of the Oscars. Also, being as it is Hollywood its filled with tourists until the wee ...
...theatres, so it actually feels quite safe to be out in the vicinity. We stayed in a private double with shared bathroom, which worked out fine. I think there was only one or two other rooms sharing it so there was rarely trouble getting into it, and when it was occupied there was another bathroom along the hall. The bedroom had two windows allowing for a cooling draught even in the July heat, and as there were bars on them meant that you could leave ...

Review of Hollywood Orange Drive Hostel, Los Angeles

I've never felt so unwelcome anywhere!

Advantages: situation I suppose, but USA Hostels is just down the road
Disadvantages: where do i start?

Filthy, especially bathrooms! Worst thing was the unfriendly staff!!! My friend and I were there waiting for another friend who was getting in late. We woke up to a note on the door saying our friend was in the 'lobby', but the manager insisted that "'THREE groups of men" had been looking for us, and did we "have appointments with these men? because we are not allowed to recieve clients in the hostel". When I asked if he was suggesting that I was ...
...me in such a threatening manner we had to leave. As we were checking out, he actually started another argument, saying that we had been pushing him (!?) and that we were rude (I really don't think I was out of line asking what I did) and when we asked for his name to report him, he ended up telling us to get out or he'd call the police. I've never felt so unwelcome anywhere and the whole experience was quie daunting for an 18 year old inexperienced ...

Review of Hollywood International Hostel, Los Angeles

Our Own Bit Of Hollywood

Advantages: Great location, good food and adequate rooms.
Disadvantages: No extras or upgrades offered to us here.

...distance. Also nearby is Beverly Hills and of course no visit is complete without a drive through this area to see all the mansions and to see the famous Rodeo Drive nearby in West Hollywood. Unfortunately we drove down here at night so I wasn't able to visit any of the famous stores along this street. I think it had something to do with the fact that I mentioned diamond encrusted Jimmy Choo's to my husband that he refused to go there during opening ...
...Beverly Garland Hotel and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to be in nearby location to take in the sights of Hollywood. ***Prices*** This hotel was booked as part of our package so I'm not sure about the rate we paid. However, I have done a price check and for an August weekend booking in a king room with a balcony and view overlooking the tennis courts, it would cost around £85 per night. This may be a bit more expensive than some ...
