The walls were very thin so you could hear everything. The people there were really loud and noisy. The beds were a bit dirty. Luckily no bed bugs. The people staying there were a bit odd. Some people were eating in the room at 3am.

3 lockers to 6 beds? Slept with my luggage I didn’t feel safe. Place was so run down. Hot as hell even if it had central a/c. One staff member was nice. That’s what’s making up for the stars. Literally that’s it. Way over priced. Flys in fridge. Food I had went bad. Nervous the bunks had bedbugs. Even the “clean” towel given to me looked dirty. 1 bathroom to 6 females and it was so gross. Never ever again.

This was advertised as a party hostel, but isn't. It's an old hospital repurposed into a hostel, which is completely fine, but you can tell by the sterile lighting and smell. Check in was easy enough and staff were good, but parking on the premises felt unsafe. The lift wasn't working & there were no internal locks on the doors, which didn't fill us with confidence leaving our stuff. It was clean, but we read many reports of bed-bugs in the rooms close to us, and it scared us enough to leave.

It's a homeless shelter in disguise with non existent management or professional staff. The Roaches running around was a downer and some rooms Bedbugs issues.

I would avoid this place. Great geographic location if you can get over the BED BUGS!! The girl that checked me in was nice the room was cheap and the hostel itself isn’t terribly set up but when I noticed bed bugs in my bunk bed I brought it up to the front desk person Michael and he immediately responded aggressively accusing me of lying. After bringing him to the room (201) and showing him the actual bugs he proceeded to deny that this never happens (although I highly doubt it) and was doing everything possible to deny responsibility or refunding me. I was persistent to wait and get ahold of a manager it took a couple hours eventually got my money back for the second night.

Also got bit by bed bugs when I told the front desk about it she said well I’ve never got any complaints about that room before as if I was lying even showed her my bites they charged my friend a room after telling him it was free for the night ended up being a lie to get more money out of us over all this is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at don’t waste your money here !!!!

Very fun hostel that parties every night with beautiful international women. But... BEWARE OF BED BUGS! Back in 2011, stayed here for a week and was EATEN ALIVE.

Analisi dell'atmosfera
Banana Bungalow West Hollywood è una base economica in una parte utile di Los Angeles, vicino a West Hollywood, Melrose, Fairfax / La Brea, Sunset, autobus e un salto pratico verso Hollywood. Il vantaggio più forte è la posizione, con un ambiente sociale costruito attorno a spazi comuni, un cortile e una programmazione serale regolare. Karaoke a microfono aperto, BBQ o serate di pizza, serate a tema, biliardo, tennis da tavolo e grandi aree salotto danno al posto un'interazione più integrata di una semplice crash pad. L'atmosfera può essere amichevole e vivace, ma si tende anche a disordinare e a creare caos di notte, specialmente quando feste, bevande, fumo e rumore si diffondono nelle stanze e nelle sale. Le camere sono semplici e usate. La pulizia è un vero e proprio gioco d'azzardo: bagni sporchi, capelli nelle docce, biancheria da letto o materassi macchiati, scarafaggi, odori di muffa, fumo o erbaccia, docce intasate, pressione d'acqua bassa, muri sottili, prese limitate, armadietti piccoli e scarsa conservazione sono tutti problemi ricorrenti. L'aria condizionata può essere debole, non disponibile, controllata centralmente o spenta durante la notte, il che è importante durante il caldo di Los Angeles. Le esperienze del personale sono molto forti. Ci sono momenti amichevoli e utili, tra cui il fatto che la pulizia sia chiamata positivamente, ma il check-in, le polizze, le spese extra, le assegnazioni delle camere e l'atteggiamento della reception possono anche essere frustranti. E' meglio trattarla come un'opzione economica, sociale, e dura per una breve sosta a Los Angeles, non un ostello lucido.
Segnali da controllare
- La pulizia e la manutenzione possono essere scadenti, compresi bagni sporchi, scarafaggi, lenzuola macchiata, odori e stanze usate.
- Il rumore può essere pesante a causa di feste, traffico stradale, muri sottili e attività nel corridoio a tarda notte.
- Sicurezza e comfort sono una seria preoccupazione per le donne single e chiunque sia sensibile alla dinamica caotica del dormitorio.
- La colazione è semplice e spesso deludente.
- Il parcheggio può costare di più, può essere ristretto e non può adattarsi a tutte le auto.
- L'aria condizionata e il controllo della temperatura ambiente possono essere inaffidabili.
- Il magazzino è limitato, con piccoli armadietti o poco spazio per i bagagli nei dormitori.
