The first-ever Banana Bungalow correctly lives up to its reputation of a party hostel. If you're looking for quiet nights and spotless accommodations, you won't find it here! What you will find is a very social and friendly place.
The Banana Bungalow is in a great location on Pacific Beach, right on the boardwalk. The outdoor deck is basically on top of the sand and is a great location for socialising and drinking. Even during winter, the indoor and outdoor areas are happening places. The staff are generally very friendly and will happily hang out on the deck. Apart from the deck area, you'll find an indoor TV and internet room. Near the reception and kitchen area there is also a long bench for dining and/or watching the TV.
Dorm accommodations are pretty basic but comfortable for a beach location -- with an average of four beds per room. The shower areas are clean enough (if a little small) and never seem to be too busy. There are plenty of cheap lockers available and free parking out front. The free breakfast (toast) and coffee/tea is an added bonus. Internet access is also very cheap or free if you have your own laptop. The kitchen is well stocked and self-catering is easy with a 7-11 across the street.
There are always activities planned -- cheap trips to Mexico and drinking nights, to name a few. The Banana Bungalow is a great party hostel that attracts a young crowd. Common areas aren't designated as quiet areas until after 12 a.m., it can get pretty noisy. If you accept that and are willing to socialise, you'll have a great time.
