Love the traditional hostel feel, great hospitality!
Very friendly staff and both the room and toilet/shower rooms are kept clean during my stay. I love how the "old fashioned" hostel feel and atmosphere. Location is great - quiet enough from all the buzz at night but convenient to metro and buses. It depends on who is staying at the same time but I completely lucked out and the people I share the room with were courteous and very respectful. I got a bed next to the toilet/shower expecting it to be noisy if people use it late at night, and surprisingly, the noise did not bother me at all and I slept through both nights during my stay.
The immediate area where the hostel is located feels safe, however depending on the day of the week and time of the day, the walk to and from the metro/bus stop could be a little rough, but I guess that's just the compromise for the convenient location. The basin in the shower room is so small it's difficult to brush teeth or wash face, but for a few nights it's adequate,

Great!
It was awesome, the staff men are super nice. Alejandro and tbe other I think is Pedro. They let us leave our luggage, helped with every question. Kitchen is super complete! They control ar conditioning, but you just have to ask for what you need. I'd go again. Location is great if you wanna be close to the Hollywood main sights. Thank you!

Great location, decent hostel
Fantastic location and in a quiet & safe street. The hostel has a lot of different rooms, bathrooms and corridors so it feels pretty spacious. Good value.
I could hear other people through the room, but it didn't bother me too much. The showers were very small.

Mansion with a history
The location is perfect, just a short walk to the Walk of Fame. The building has a history, that's why they are keeping retro look.
The kitchen in the basement could have more space, bigger sitting area. The bathroom could have toiletries.

Best place to stay in Hollywood
We had a room with ensuite bathroom, we appreciated access to shared kitchen, there is private area to have breakfast outdoors behind the property; walking distance (3 minutes) to Starline tours, close to Hollywood boulevard but no boulevard madness around the hostel. The property is locked overnight so you can’t enter without a key, we felt safe and looked after,

Very good
I got a top bunk bed in a 4 shared bedroom. Room is fine, the bed was more comfortable than I was expecting. There are a bunch of bathrooms around the property. Felt safe. The location is good as well. They have lockers, but you need your own lock.
it's kinda annoying to go up and down of the bunk bed.

Cute and clean
A very clean and charming old house converted into a hostel. Quaint touches like original fixtures throughout the building. Nice shady backyard for some quiet time. Surprisingly quiet considering how close it was to the action on Hollywood Blvd.
There was noise from inside the building throughout the night and early morning- quiet times weren't always respected. The first aid kit should be updated- I burnt myself fairly badly on scalding hot water in the kitchen, and while the receptionist was quick to help when I asked, there weren't any supplies in the kit that were useful. I was surprised that there was not an indication on/near the tap stating that the water was boiling/scaling for coffee/tea/cooking, and not suitable for washing hands.

This is my regular go-to when visiting Hollywood - super convenient, affordable, lovely building!
I have been staying at the Orange Drive Hostel whenever I come to LA for over a decade. I love the building, and always find it clean and comfortable. As a woman walking alone back to my room, often in the evening, I always feel safe coming back to Orange Drive Hostel. And given its location around the corner from a tourist mecca (the Chinese Theater with the stars' footprints), it's remarkably quiet and peaceful. I'm so glad that Orange Drive survived COVID - and I'll be back the next time I visit LA!

I will definitely stay here again!
Located so close to main attractions! Easy to find from public transit and by Lyft drivers. My room was clean and very comfortable. The front desk staff carried up my suitcase for me and made sure I was set with towels, offered tips on the neighborhood, and showed me how the keys worked. I felt very safe my entire stay, even though I was in a huge city I’d never visited. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and am already dreaming of my next trip to LA!
I found everything about this hostel to be great. I have no complaints at this time.

Enjoyed the location and other guests.
Lots of bathrooms and facilities. Everything I needed.
Mattresses were a bit hard and pillows a bit thin.

I love this place. I stay here whenever I'm in LA and I can never get over how friendly the staff is and how convenient the location is.
I don't think I there is anything really that I can say negative. Maybe that there are no TVs even in the private rooms. But thats more of a nitpick than anything else

Quiet, no frills hostel with unbeatable location.
I stayed for one night. The location is unbeatable -- a block away from the tourist heart of Hollywood Boulevard. The check-in experience was wonderful. The hostel was quiet and folks seem to keep to themselves, which was my preference. The facilities are on the older side, but more in a charming way than an off-putting way.
I was quite happy with my experience.
