Orange Drive Hostel Hollywood, Los Angeles

Location

Nothing

Extremely clean Phenomenal staff

Fantastic location and Pedro was so helpful! Comfy bed and pillows. A really eclectic mix of people staying which I loved, and as a 40 yr old it was nice to see people my age was well, not just a young typical hostel crowd. Overall really impressed and I’ll be back!

Nothing

Large, cosy attic room with air condition and private bath, very clean and no street noise. Walking distance to Hollywood Blvd. Provided parking space at reasonable rate.

Noisy other guests in the hallways in the wee hours, but that's not the Hostel's fault.

The location was Perfect and the staff were very friendly. The property is close to the metro station.

Lovely little place, as described. Right next to the Hollywood boulevard, great location. Room was nice with old interior. Was very clean. Had a great little kitchen with free coffee, tea and cocoa!

First time staying in a hostel. The staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating! The place is very nice and has lots of space to store food in fridges. The spot is also in an amazing location, 2 minute walk from the Hollywood walk of fame!!

Great value for money - simple but clean and functional. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Parking has limited spaces so even though we payed for the night, when we got back in the evening there were no more spaces so we had to pay extra for the garage nearby. Not a huge issue, but just a heads up to keep in mind if you're coming with a car.

Staff were very helpful, it was spotlessly clean, beds are solid and comfortable. Bedding provided. Location fab for exploring. Great history of the house. A little gem!

The Orange Drive is in a wonderful location, just off Hollywood Boulevard, and in a really safe area. The building was originally used as a boarding house for Hollywood legends, which was fascinating! The room that we had was so clean, with lovely soft linen. Parking for 10 dollars per day was so worth it. The positive reviews are so true! This place is amazing!

A very small niggle, was that the person checking us in, although pleasant, wasn’t particularly interested in us at all, and didn’t make us feel overly welcome or pleased to stay in this amazing place. The person checking us out however was the opposite… warm, friendly and welcoming, which would have got a 10 out of 10 overall for our stay if the service had been consistent.

Very nice location, everything was according to the description

Everything as expected

The location and price couldn't be better. The property is full of history and charm. The room we had was once occupied by Marilyn Monroe. The building is old. But spotless. The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional.

There is really nothing we didn't like. Don't stay here if you expect new and modern. But that's what is really cool about this place.

Nice hotel in an old house, charming. The location is very good. Very convenient the parking slot at 10 dollar per day available on site.

There were so many bathrooms! It is quiet and residential, but so close to Hollywood Boulevard and the metro. Lots of hooks in room and bathroom. Good kitchen. Good linens. I saw someone cleaning baseboards and doors; every bit of the place felt clean. Even the grout on shower floors was immaculate. I loved the history of the building - an old phone system is still visible - but every inch seemed freshly painted and very well maintained. The pics make it look old, but it’s immaculate.

No big lockers for your luggage in the room. There are small lockers by the kitchen that would fit a purse. The air conditioning wasn’t very cool.

No breakfast offered

Window in bedroom didn’t have much of a shade covering so light (and sound) came in throughout night. Toilets on 2nd floor were very difficult to get at - so close to wall

The location of the property is very good. It’s extremely close to walk of fame, ovation Hollywood. Also there are many restaurants and Target, shops nearby for food n shopping. The property is also quite clean and they provide sheets towel. The washrooms are quite clean. Making it a great value.

This is more like precautions to consider. - the shared washrooms are quite small. The showers could be claustrophobic. - depending on room u get assigned, there might be TV noise in the night. So if u r light sleeper, could be difficult. - the upper bunk bed is slightly tricky to climb - they have the aircon only in nights and only when the staff seems it’s required depending on weather. Sometimes it gets hot inside the room without aircon.

The staff were really welcoming and friendly. I enjoyed that we had a shared kitchen area and plenty of spaces to eat our food, indoor and outdoor. There were also complimentary coffees/teas/hot chocolate. And plenty of fridge space to store our own food. It was a 3 minute walk to the Hollywood walk of fame and a station. It wasn’t far to go for a hike in one of the canyons. It was also close to the shops like Target and in n out.

Flat pillow, no privacy curtain. It was quite old fashioned the rooms, but the place had character. I enjoyed learning about the history of the hostel.

Clean and friendly

Small bathrooms that get too hot

I have stayed here before, good value for the price, good location. The hostel is big and there are enough bathrooms available. Good kitchen too. It's clean, friendly staff, and good location (prime Hollywood spot but on a quiet street).

I stayed 2 nights in a private room and one in a dorm. The private room was nice but very noisy (outdoor street noise). The AC smelled a bit. Also, you have to ask staff to turn on / off AC, which I think is a little weird.

The rooms are very well priced, and cleaned regularly. Same goes for the bathrooms. It has everything you would need in a hostel. The location, whilst busy, is unbeatable. The staff are extremely kind and helpful. They helped me with my metro card, and let me store my bags til I needed to leave.

I can't think of anything, it would be nice to experience the private rooms next time, I'm sure they're good, too.

Location and friendly staff

Very convenient; lovely oasis tucked away from the loud chaos of Hollywood Blvd. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of available restrooms.

Number of guests were rather rude and did not adhere to quiet policy.
