Parking garage 9 and change day with shortcut to it during daytime. Dorm shared or hotel room options. Right in heart of West Hollywood so lots of people and traffic. Breakfast. Activities daily. Outdoor seating bar area. Forget sleep as other guests all nite slam doors constantly, have loud tv and raised voices for all to hear. Outside groups of folks form line and gather along 100 numbered rooms I think for an outing; some r quiet some super loud and they can c right in rooms so use blinds if so inclined. Bugs in room including huge cockroaches so bring spray or avoid this place. Bed comfortable. Staff nice and most helpful but one. Multi speed oscillating fan is your AC. Laundry in basement but hotter in summer but again another oscillating fan. Free spirited folks who stay here so helps if you are too. Would I stay again? No, the huge cockroach is a deal breaker.

The location was perfect! So central. Beach was a 20 minute drive. Melrose and Fairfax district were a short walk as was the Grove and Farmers market. Cute neighborhood. This place feels authentic and unique! The staff are so friendly and helpful. Loved the lounge areas, on site parking, and full kitchen.

Banana Bungalow on Fairfax Avenue in West Hollywood was the perfect base for my LA trip. It offered a clean, comfortable room and a relaxed vibe. The location was ideal, with easy access to Hollywood, Laurel Canyon, and the Sunset *****. The hostel had all the essentials and provided the peace and comfort I needed. Dedicated parking was good to have and good price. The staff were helpful, and the atmosphere was laid-back. Banana Bungalow was a reliable and affordable option in the heart of LA – ideal for anyone looking for a no-fuss, comfortable stay close to all the action.

Location was the BEST! I stayed in a 6 bed dorm, which was cleaned daily and had an ensuite bathroom. Underground parking garage and laundry facilities. Hot water and water pressure were good. Affordable private rooms are available. Lots of lounge areas and outdoor common spaces to soak up the sun. Some of the rooms have balconies. Free breakfast was simple and cool. Staff are amazing! Loved our stay and connecting with other travelers. Will be back!

I recently stayed at the Banana Bungalow Hostel, and it was a fun and memorable experience. This place is perfect if you’re looking for a vibrant social atmosphere. The hostel offers plenty of activities like karaoke nights, BBQs, and group outings, making it easy to meet fellow travelers. The staff were friendly and approachable, always ready to help with local tips or make sure you’re having a good time. The location is also a big plus—close to the beach and within walking distance of great restaurants and nightlife spots. The outdoor spaces, like workout area and picnic areas, were a nice touch for relaxing during • Amazing social environment with lots of activities • Friendly and helpful sta • Convenient location near Hollywood blvd If you’re a budget traveler looking for a lively, social place to stay, Banana Bungalow is a great option. I’d stay here again for the atmosphere and community!

BEWARE: Extremely sketchy booking procedure. They have a form on their website with zero security that they use to take your credit card, then they make excuses why they can't honor your reservation. I would recommend to avoid this place at all costs.

Es un hostal, no hay que tener las expectativas altas cuando se trata de espacios compartidos. Las habitaciones están bien, hay lockers, la limpieza general es muy buena. El hostal organiza actividades para que conozcas al resto de los viajeros, pero lo mejor del lugar es su ubicación. El autobús 217 pasa en la esquina, lo cual es conveniente para moverte a cualquier parte de la ciudad.
