Banana Bungalow Hollywood Hotel & Hostel0

Room: The room we stayed in was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious for a hostel. The beds were cozy, and the linens provided were fresh and crisp. I appreciated the attention to detail in terms of cleanliness, as the room was spotless upon my arrival. The presence of a safe in the room offered an extra layer of security for my belongings, which was a thoughtful addition. Overall, the room provided a pleasant and comfortable environment for a good night's sleep. Location: One of the highlights of Banana Bungalow Hollywood is undoubtedly its fantastic location. Situated in the heart of Hollywood, the hostel is within walking distance of many popular attractions, including the Hollywood Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theatre, and the Hollywood Bowl. I must admit though that we were very happy about the gate and protected entrance to the Hotel, as the homeless situation in LA is scary. We saw many "unpleasant" situations and persons in the immediate surroundings of the hotel. Breakfast: The complimentary breakfast provided at Banana Bungalow Hollywood was a delightful way to start each day. The breakfast spread offered a variety of options, including cereals, bread, pastries, fresh fruits, and a selection of hot beverages. We particularly enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with fellow travelers in the common dining area while enjoying a hearty breakfast.

Overall, my stay at Banana Bungalow Hollywood was pleasant, with comfortable accommodations and a convenient location. However, it's worth noting that homelessness and safety concerns are present in the surrounding area. By staying informed and taking necessary precautions, visitors can still have a rewarding experience in this dynamic city.

I stayed 2 nights in a basic double room and 2 nights in a deluxe double room at the Banana Bungalow Hollywood Hotel. The location is convenient. It is close to the Hollywood/Vine metro station that can take you to Union station or West Hollywood. The basic room had everything that I required. The deluxe room added a kitchen and more space. The breakfast was basic, but still good. Overall, I have nothing to really complain about.

Nothing negative jumps out. The hotel/hostel is geared towards socializing, so there is music throughout the day and parties in the weekend. This never really disturbed me, but was also not what I was looking for.

Room was nice and clean! Staff was also very friendly and accommodating. The location was very good overall and super close to everything Hollywood has to offer.

The only thing I didn’t like was the view from our room because it was of a homeless camp shortly down the road. The fact that the homeless camp was so close was a little scary at night, BUT that being said I did feel very safe once inside the hotel since there is a code and it’s gated and being able to park inside the gate was very convenient and safe feeling too.

Good value! I stayed in a private room, and the bathroom floor space was more ample than I'd have imagined. A shower was installed, no bathtub, so that was ideal for me but might not be for others. Satellite TV channels available in room. Cheap snacks and drinks available at the vending machines. Weekly night activities in the courtyard

There was a multi-tent camp propped up on the city sidewalk right there on Hollywood Blvd, just west of the hotel entrance and across the street too (heading further toward attractions on Hollywood). A food bank is across the street from hotel, so people are camped out close by. I felt unsafe to walk by these camps as a female solo traveler. There's nothing that the hotel can control, but just telling it like it is so other travelers can be aware

The Hotel-Stuff were awesome! Loved the BBQ & Bar evenings!

Private rooms are nice. Has everything you need for a single night or even a weekend stay, including a microwave and a mini fridge. They had a party going on the night I stayed, with free food and drinks. I met some cool people and was able to pregame for free before going out for the night. Good location too, everywhere I wanted to go was less than a 15 minute drive.

The parking situation is a hit or miss. Spots are very limited and there was an additional charge for $6-$11. The room has a stand alone air conditioning unit, but no heater which is unfortunate.

Awesome Staff, thank you Kiki for your effort! Helpful people, car park directly on permisses, free wifi and great kitchen with fridge inside your room. Clean as well, free breakfast - caffee and hot water all day long. They do a lot of activities like BBQ and guide you to a night Club. Great thing. On the left hand site before 7/11 as an authentic taco stand. Awesome! Supermarket walkable and liquor store directly opposite

Wifi was bad sometimes. But manageable. Homeless people and drugs outside. They are not aggrassive and mostly not doing anything at all but you just should know. Still walkable when it's dark

It's good location on Hollywood Blvd, not far from start of walk of fame, 7-11 and other food stores nearby, bus stop outside and red metro nearby. Hotel is fine, nice courtyard area with car parking and table tennis, fussball and big TVs. Room was basic but clean, microwave and fridge, TV.

There are lots of homeless 'camps' almost outside, this isn't a fault of the hotel, more LA/USA in general but it is rather off putting.....didn't particularly bother me but it may some The hotel is safe n secure though, need pin to enter n card for rooms

This establishment is primarily a hostile. But they have private insurance as well. I've stayed several times but always in a private room. I have never been disappointed.. On Saturday evening, grilled food, soft drinks, and spirits are provided to patrons. Continental breakfast is provided every morning. It's fun to meet people from around the country and around the world. If you're looking for comfort, cleanliness, and value, you'll find all 3 here. Spread the word!!!

I have never found anything. I didn't like here or anything disappointing.

I loved the room and how spacious it was. I enjoyed the activities posted on the bulletin so it kept us with something to do. I really enjoyed the vibe and how laid back and close to everything it was.

I was not able to check in until after 2 pm although the information I received online said I could check in after midnight . Luckily we were up for an adventure and we only have to wait two hours for a room considering our flight arrived at 9:30 am. We had to figure out the bus system and train but nothing to complain about I will call in advance next time but the stay overall was fantastic.
