  • Overall: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "I only stayed one night but I would recommend it for people who want to visit Hollywood as the location is excellent - just one block away from Hollywood Boulevard." source Hostelworld

    "Re: PrimeTime Shuttle (doesnt directly involve Orange Hostel but they recommend their service)I was assaulted by the driver at the airport on return to LAX." source Hostelworld

    "The history of the mansion itself was intriguing and it was great to stay and see all the old characteristics that still remain." source Hostelworld

    "This is a really great place, full of character and in the best location you could hope for in LA." source Hostelworld

    "The rooms and the location of this hostel are very good but that is all there is to recommend it." source Hostelworld

  • Clean: Rating of 3.7 out of 5

    "Not the best place if you're alone and looking to socialize, but if you want a clean bed/room central to Hollywood it's absolutely perfect." source Hostelworld

    "I don't think the rooms got cleaned during the 5 nights we were there, but it was a comfortable, tidy hostel and we felt secure." source Hostelworld

    "Room was nice and clean with nice furniture, so it had somewhat more character than the average hostel." source Hostelworld

    "Neat old house with groovy old fixtures. Facilities were clean and the dorms had character." source Hostelworld

    "Didn\'t use the communal areas so can\'t comment on them but room was nice and bathrooms clean." source Hostelworld

  • Service: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "One tip- when paying for your rooms try paying all in cash as there is a 9% service charge with debit/credit cards." source Hostelworld

    "this hostel has a perfect location and really helpful staff." source Hostelworld

  • Location: Rating of 4.7 out of 5

    "Secure storage is only available for small bags in cion operated lockers, I had to leave bigger bags in a common area as staff would not put them anywhere safe for me, hence the poor rating for security." source Hostelworld

    "This hostel is in excellent location (just off Hollywood walk of fame) plus the staff are friendly and helpful, but unfortunately there was quite an unpleasent smell in our private bedroom." source Hostelworld

    "We liked the character of the hostel and thought it was good value for money, although we could not say the same for Hollywood, the hostels location." source Hostelworld

    "great location, right around the corner from the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood and great for public transportation also." source Hostelworld

    "if you go there by greyhound buses, you should be aware there is a station in hollywood : nearer than downtown." source Hostelworld

  • Value

    "A very safe neighbourhood and great value for the price. Cleanliness could be slightly better but you will struggle to find anything this good for this price in LA." source Hostelworld

    "may be not a place to book for more than a few days tho as not a great deal to do." source Hostelworld

    "The best selling point (other than the price) was the location." source Hostelworld

    "The walking tour with Shawn was well worth the couple dollars." source Hostelworld

    "No showers in the room nor free coffee and tea for the price." source Hostelworld

  • Room

    "- the kitchen and common room are very small for such a hostel (no diner table, no more than 4 people can fit in the kitchen at the same time." source Hostelworld

    "We booked a private room with a private bathroom and it was great, big room with everything u need,small bathroom though." source Hostelworld

    "And watchout for the creepy guy who works there cos he will come into ure room and ask to have a nap with you." source Hostelworld
