Orange Drive Hostel Hollywood, Los Angeles

Super centrally located and yet quiet

There was nothing to complain about

Everything was reallly clean and taken care of. Quiet and cozy place. Location is excellent in walking distance from Hollywood boulevard. Also a really good Thai restaurant nearby (found it thanks to a tip from the hostel staff) “Pink Pepper”. Place was easy to reach from the highway. On the way out we stopped at the view point Hollywood bowl, also worth to stop.

I like the vintage style of this house. It was fun to tour around the house. Each bedroom has its key. I stayed in a shared room. Hangers are provided in the room. The toilets and bathrooms are clean. The staff is friendly.

The beds are first come first served. I stayed in the lower bed. I was a little concerned about whether the railing on the upper bed was high enough to prevent people from falling out.

Greaqt location just off Hollywood Bvld. Staff were fantastic.

Everything was great. Clean room, great welcome and very well organized. We would definitely recomme nd!

Nothing!

My Roommates were from Yuba City and Seattle Washington are .2 of us went to See Live with Kelly and Mark after Oscars show Monday morning at The Dolby theater. Kelly Ripa was absolute stunning Mark was just Handsome And Kelly was absolute beautiful

Location was great, next to Magic castle and Dolby Theatre, and not too far from shopping Beverly Hills or entertainment options in West Hollywood.

Liked a lot of things. The only thing is maybe because the home is a bit older the floors creak when walking sometimes, trying to be considerate of roommates sleeping.

Great location, close to the subway and major tourist spots. The room was clean, and the place had a nice atmosphere. Check-in and check-out were smooth. Also, the receptionist on our first day was very kind.

On our last day, one of the women at the front desk was not very friendly. I also noticed that she did not respond well to some guests checking in

Amazing location, cute old house turned into a quite hostel which generally has everything you need. Staff were friendly and helpful. I could store my bag securely all day and was allowed to freshen up when I returned to collect them which is nice. The kitchenette is small but looks to have most things you’d need (I only used it for tea/coffee). I stayed in a private room which was neat and tidy with its own bathroom/shower, sheets and towels.

I would recommend darker curtains in the private room as you can see the city lights at night through the sheer curtains and the sun beams through at first light. If you’re a light sleeper like me this makes it hard to sleep. The room was right next to a shared toilet which was quite noisy through the night with guests using it (mostly the door) - I guess there isn’t much they can do about this but it’s not great for light sleepers.

An affordable chance to stay at a beautiful historic building in the heart of Hollywood. Staff were very kind, and the location is perfect (Hollywood/Highland metro just around the block). The hostel is quiet and has very calming peaceful vibes.

Everything was great.

great location

The staff, the location

The price

It's comfortable and cozy. The location is perfect a one-minute walk from the Walk of Fame. The kitchen is organized and the bathrooms are clean. We like the vibe of the hostel, it's vintage but well-looked after.

It's not a problem, but parking costs 10 dollars. It's fair, as stopping on the street is very difficult there.

i have stayed at Orange Hostel many times always clean always quiet considerate guests

The staff were very nice, a wonderful location, big rooms and comfy beds

Lack of storage places and the curtains didn't block the sunlight in the morning

This is a really well located, cosy hostel. Great kitchen facilities to prepare your own food.

Our room was on the top floor. It wasn’t really an option to take two large suitcases up the two flights of stairs and open them in a small room. The staff were extremely accommodating and allowed us to unpack the things we needed for our stay and store the suitcases in a locked room. This was most helpful. A very small inconvenience but didn’t dampen our stay.

Nice property

I like it

Great location! We walked Hollywood Blvd and got all excited and had great Margarita:-) Clean rooms. Nice outdoor table and chairs with cute front yard with lights.

Rooms and bathrooms were very clean, the only thing is there was a towel in common bathroom. It'll b nice if there was paper towel instead of towel ... Extra comforter in closet needs to be cleaned. As soon as I opened, I started sneezing I am allergic to dust.

Very close to the Hollywood boulevard Parking lot Spacious room Washing machine Nice patio Quick response on booking com chats

Very slow WiFi

Great location, just around the corner of Chinese theatre, a metro station and a shopping centre. We chose this hotel because we wanted to visit Universal Studios Hollywood, it could not have been a better choice, just one train station away. Plenty of commerce around. Very useful that we could store our bags after checking out, the hotel staff was very kind.

Nothing

Rooms are very stylish

Kitchen was too small

The location of the hostel is top notch and our room was cozy and very clean. The kitchen as well is clean an well equipped. The staff is very friendly and helpful, even as we had to evacuate due to the wildfires.

The bed wasn’t super comfortable and the bathrooms quite tiny, but it’s all right for a short stay.

The room was lovely and had lots of character. Bed was comfy and cozy. I selected a room with a private bathroom so my stay was essentially indistinguishable from a traditional hotel stay. The property itself is a fascinating old house dripping with old world charm. Wandering the halls is like taking a step back in time.

The only (very minor) issue I experienced was that my room had a dehumidifier in it that was running continuously and it made the air very dry. I'm coming from the midwest and was already not used to the dry climate in CA. Not a fault of the management at all - I'm sure the dehumidifier is there for a reason. I ended up turning off the dehumidifier once I realized how dry it was... but just something to keep in mind and to notice if you are coming from a more humid climate.

Very clean and the location was perfect near to stores and the walk of fame

Everything was good

Nice location, friendly people

I had a wonderful experience at this location! The staff were exceptionally friendly, making me feel welcome. The room was clean and well-presented, which added to my comfort. Additionally, the toilets were well-maintained and accessible for all users.

The wooden walkway makes me uncomfortable during morning activities, as some guests are still sleeping. Otherwise, everything else has been superb.

Proximity to Hollywood. Cleanliness.

Nothing - my stay was fabulous. I’ll hopefully stay here again.

Very good location

No amenities (no basic toiletries)

location is perfect, near metro station on hollywood blvd, very clean room and bathrooms, these are shared but very good. well organized general place.

line gas heather inside room, can be dangerous.

We've been to this place several times and we can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. We live to visit the L.A. area. In fact, we come back every year for 2-3 weeks. Everytime, and since 2020, we stay at the Orange Drive Hostel. It almost feels like home as we feel safe and in very good hands. The staff is very attentive and supportive. The rooms are clean and in good shape. The hostel is located in a side street right in the heart of Hollywood. Easy access to public transport, tourist attractions, restaurants and the very popular In N' Out Burger, etc. It's only a 2 minute walk to Hollywood Blvd attractions and a 5 minute walk to Sunset Blvd.

Everything my 5th stay and I have another one booked

Great place with a rich history! Our room was pretty small but the beds were comfortable. There was one table and a chair, but we lacked some other space to leave or hang our things. The hotel had good wifi and a washing machine for $6 per wash. It was quiet despite its location just next to the Walk of Fame. I was a bit worried about the shared bathroom on the floor, but it was cleaned every day and I never had any issues with cleanliness. Other guests also left it in good condition.

Some more storage space in the room would be great. Also, a small kettle or coffee machine to boil some water in the room could be a great improvement!

Excellent location, excellent value.Friendly helpful staff.

Lovely old house.

Traveled alone. Hostel in a fantastic location.

The location is at the center of tourist spots like walk of fame and few minutes away to major shopping locations like ovation.

If you are staying in the dormitory type , it can get noisy and the cars outside are kind of noisy too.

Great location, very clean, great service!

This is a great little hostel. At first I was horrified to arrive at the Walk of Fame. I didn't realise I'd booked to stay on the actual WoF. I it was noisy, dirty,loud and with weird people. Just gross. Then when you reach the hostel its like a peaceful nice haven away from all the blah in the main centre strip. The more time i stayed in the hostel the more I grew to really like it. And the Walk of Fame grew on me. The location is really good; you can catch the metro for 1.75usd then the free bus to the Hollywood Hills to hike to the HollyWood sign, or the Griffith Observatory. That's what i did. It's also literally a 4 min walk from the stop for the Big Bus hop on hop off tour as well. And ofc there's the WoF which was fun to spots the names. I got William Shatner Britney Spears and Luciano Pavorotti. The hostel dorm beds were SO comfortable I think the most comfortable hostel beds I've ever stayed in my life!! The staff are so lovely. Especially the dark haired woman. She gave me some organic spring onions and offered me more organic free food cos her friend had been to the Farmers Market and bought too much The bathrooms are spacious and spread throughout the hostel, the showers were very good, nice and hot with storage space (to bring your shampoo, soap etc, hand rails for towels, and one shower even had a small shelf unit so You can put your clothes on to change into. Very good. I liked the design of the hostel as well. It was quaint The patio was beautiful (a garden in the sun with little tables and chairs with shade),the laundry excellent and the kitchen was top👌🏼they provided free herself and spices

American hostels dont have key carded lockers, it's necessary to use a padlock. Very annoying. every hostel I've been to here has this though; it isn't unique to this hostel. I'm from Europe and we have key carded lockers so basically your key card opens electronically your locker - it's easier than messing about with a padlock incase you forget things There was a girl on the first night I arrived who it seemed had been eating chicken in the room

It's a lovely location, lovely house and garden. It's incredibly clean with nice staff.

I was on the top floor (one of the attic rooms). By mindful that you'll need to carry your luggage up a few flights of stairs. Also, the walls are VERY thin. Noise-proofing wouldn't go astray.

The location is perfect if you want to go to Hollywood bowl or Hollywood walk of fame, staff was professional and kind and I liked that dormitories are separate between female and male

Because around Hollywood walk of fame there are some homeless just be careful at night

Location. Hip.

The area is quiet, quite amazed it's just 5mins walk away from the bustling walk of fame.

Friendly people. Nice atmosphere with a bit of age and quirkiness. Having a kitchen was great and the location around the corner from the Chinese Theatre was great and it was quiet. Perfect place to go from for a concert at the Hollywood bowl.

Not much to say. Suited us

comfy beds, cozy and clean room, also shared facilities were very clean, parking, great hosts, nice patio, localization, quiet and safe

everything was perfect

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The hostel is in a relatively quiet place. Great place for first time tourists looking for an affordable place to stay!

No elevators. The hostel is 1920s themed, so it might not be possible to add.

Price

Bed slightly hard

Really liked this affordable hostel very located in Hollywood. Sweet staff, beautiful front and back yard, and nice facilities! Many bathrooms and toilets so never had an issue with needing to wait for any of that. 1 minute walk down to Hollywood Boulevard and 20 minute walk to Hollywood Bowl, which was convenient. Really calm despite the location! The staff was kind enough to borrow me a lock for the lockers!

Lockers outside of the room, which was fine but did not feel 100% safe. Sleeping in an upper bunk was a bit uncomfortable since there wasn't really a barrier that would prevent you from falling down, but that was a minor issue.

Loved the super convenient location, spacious rooms, cleanliness, and the outdoor area. Kitchen was incredibly clean for a hostel, too. Staff are friendly!

Would have loved a private room with private bathroom but the shared bathrooms beside our private room were super clean. Some of the toilets are weirdly close to the wall. Some odd characters around but maybe that's just hostels?

everything was clean, i felt super safe as a female alone and it was quiet

rooms are a bit toasty, AC doesn’t work very well but i recommend just sleeping with one blanket

Location

Nothing

Extremely clean Phenomenal staff
