Room had leaking cistern on toilet that was reported twice during our 7 night stay, it was not fixed. We had to use towels to soak the leak up daily.
The room was not clean upon arrival, dirty over floors and cupboards. (food matter in oven and cupboards?), dust collections on carpet, dirty lino in kitchen area.
Front of house staff were amazingly helpful and very very nice to deal with, unsure about cleaners as we did not see them or experience their work during our 7 night stay.....
Planned onsite events were noisy but only until 10:30 as advertised, noise was not an issue at all.
Again the front of house staff were exceptionally helpful and of great assistance.

Above and Beyond
Was above and beyond what i could've expected. The facilties were well kept and maintenanced, staff kind and helpful, rooms and spaces clean, hospitality through the roof with special "BBQ" social parties in the evening. The location was super short, direct, and safe shot to all of Hollywood.

Super friendly, hard-working, helpful and professional staff. This place has character, I love it. It’s what you would expect from a hostel, nothing more nothing less. Hostels are places to meet other travellers, and we did here, with lots of communal space. The “tent city” others mentioned was merely 3 tents down the block; it’s not like we were fighting our way to the door through an army of homeless people. I do recommend this place.

Good location, parking is around 7-12 USD. Keep in mind this is a Hostel, so be prepared for noise late at night, especially on weekends. The location is convenient for several destinations around Hollywoo
