Hollywood & Highland Hostel & Hotel

Very Bad!
This is the worst place to be in the world. The manager Richard is an uptight asshole. If not for this guy, this hostel would be fun. Too bad.

This hostel is located directly opposite Mann's Chinese Theatre so it's great for sightseeing. The train station is nearby too but it's a long way from LAX airport and about an hour away from the beach at Santa Monica. The staff are great -- friendly and helpful, but unfortunately the hostel needs a makeover as it's pretty shabby. The dorm room I slept in didn't even have glass in the window! It's clean enough but it's pretty dark and dingy and looks like it hasn't been decorated in a few years. There's free breakfast of toast and coffee but the kitchen is tiny and there are no cooking facilities, only a microwave. Nice people, just a shame about the hostel!
