Banana Bungalow Hollywood
Hollywood, California, USA

#16 Ranked Hostel in the World


Inside Report

On the outskirts of Hollywood, this hostel consists of a grouping of buildings spread out over a good sized piece of land - at least for LA. It's a very professionally run hostel with a host of amenities to keep you busy without even leaving the hostel. They have a pool, a restaurant, a game room, a theater, a basketball court, and much more. They also organize quite a few day trips. This is a great hostel, but some of the dorms have quite a few beds per room.

Keep in mind that Los Angeles is a huge sprawling city and so nothing is really close enough to walk to. You'll need a lift to get anywhere. Good news is that the hostel runs a shuttle and there's a bus stop right out front of the hostel. Bad news is that while you're technically in LA, your about a 30 minute drive from the beach.
