Located just off Hollywood Boulevard, this USA Hostel is ideally located for visiting the sights of Hollywood. It has a friendly atmosphere about it and offers a range of activities to help you make the most of your stay. Regular trips on offer include guided walking tours around Beverley Hills and Bel Air to see where the rich and famous live (very fun and informative, worth the small cost of around $6), shuttle service to Venice Beach and Santa Monica (free, couple of times a week) and sunset hike to see 'The Sign'. It is also possible to book trips to places such as Disney, Six Flags, Vegas and The Grand Canyon through reception here.
The hostel is easy to find and they will even pay for you to take a free shuttle from the airport if you stay 4 nights or more (they pay half of it if you stay 2 or 3 nights). The hostel is located close to the Hollywood Greyhound station and there are two Metro stations on Hollywood Boulevard, each around a five minute walk from the hostel. It is also possible to take a bus from Hollywood Boulevard into downtown or to Santa Monica among other places, although it can take a while to get there.
Facilties available include luggage storage, internet access, a phone accepting incoming calls, TV lounge with large-screen TV, outside patio, laundry. There is also a kitchen and dining area although the kitchen doesn't have a huge amount of space for food storage and preparation and people seem not to like clearing up after themselves. However, the free pancake breakfast (mixture provided - cook it yourself) is a nice gesture. The dorms are en-suite and are reasonable, although they could have done with a more thorough clean. It would also be nice to have lockers in the rooms although small coin-operated lockers are available in the reception area to store valuables if necessary. This is not a bad place to stay and the location is great.
