Los Angeles hotellit Hollywood

Plussat: Surprisingly clean.

Miinukset: Communal lavatories and bathrooms. But this is a hostel so it's acceptable.

Plussat: Perfect spot to stay at in Hollywood if you’re a no-frills traveler; clean and friendly staff

Miinukset: No elevator available to get up the very steep stairs; hard to negotiate that with a heavy duffel bag

Plussat: Was a great stay, nice Staff and the tours were free and good. Breakfast is everything you need and a good and new kitchen.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Everything. The minute we get there we are ignored for a good 15min while the front desk flirted with a girl in the lobby. We are finally helped, but with attitude from the minute I opened my mouth to check in. Then we were told I had to have a passport to check in. I provided my out of state drivers license and was told that still wasn't enough. They had to have an itinerary showing that I planned on leaving. Nothing on the website we used to book advised anything about having to provide a passport and i have stayed at sevreal hostels around the US and never once did they require a passport to stay at their establisment. I even double checked my itinerary details when we left to see if there was any disclaimer. We ended up just cancelling our reservations as long as they didn't charge us. The guy checking us in was rude the entire time and had little to no care if we stayed. Never again.

Plussat: Great location, great staff, and great people staying at this cool LA hostel

Miinukset: Shared bathrooms are a bit awkward

Plussat: Great location and price. Pleasant staff. Very clean. Surprisingly quiet.

Miinukset: Long flights of stairs to room. Very slippery tiled shower floors -- I fell! $2 extra for towels.

Plussat: Great breakfast, and very clean all around. Super helpful and friendly staff. Lockers in the room for your valuables and a really soft blanket! The beds were pretty good and there were sockets in between each bed with room for about 6 plugs.

Miinukset: Everyone showers in the morning so the water gets really cold. This is not their fault though:)

Plussat: So, to start off, let me say that this is not a hotel. It's a cheap way to share a room with seven other people and have a little base of operations to explore from. The thing that impressed me most was how clean it was. Every time I went anywhere in the hostel, there was someone cleaning something. I felt very comfortable in that. Also, having a lot of internationals around makes for great conversation. And the staff was very friendly and helpful. Great stay overall!

Miinukset: The only thing I didn't really enjoy as much (and this really couldn't be avoided) was sharing a room with 7 people. Not that they weren't nice; just the awkwardness of not having much privacy and trying not to make much noise when you come in late or head out early. Other than that, it was great.

Plussat: The location was convenient to where I needed to go for the time I was there.

Miinukset: There was nothing in the room to tell me about wifi, and I just never bothered to ask at the desk. Parking is very tight, but free. The motel is in a bad part of town. Several cars of homeless people camping out on the side street below my window. Lots of street noise and in the morning a s-load of trash strew about on the sidewalk. I just kept my shutters closed so I did not have to see. Rooms need new furniture, light fixtures and paint. Really looks run down. Pool area surrounded by bright orange fencing makes it appear to be a construction zone. Worth less than $100 a night for sure.

Plussat: It was a very fine hotel for a few days of travel.

Miinukset: The first room we were given had fresh stains on the mattress. When we called down, we were accused of "touching stuff." But were then given a nicer room, despite the absence of an apology.

Plussat: Very central to get to places of interest ie Hollywood Boulevard

Miinukset: A bit of traffic noise as the hotel is on a busy road

Plussat: The Sahara is in an excellent location, offered many amenities and represented great value for money.

Plussat: Room was comfortable and clean, people were nice and helpful. Location was good if someone wants to to see Hollywood.

Miinukset: The bathroom was rather tiny and the AC noisy

Plussat: Rooms and facilities were clean and well-kept. The pool at the center of the hotel looked inviting.

Miinukset: Front desk staff was incredibly unfriendly (but that's just one person). The location of the room on a very busy and loud street was unfortunate - no sleep without earplugs, and you had to crank up the volume on the TV all the way just to hear over the street noise. I assume the rooms on the other side of the building are not as loud.

Plussat: Very helpful reception staff. Extremely reasonable for the centre of LA.

Miinukset: Not in the best part of Sunset Boulevard, although it's fairly close (20 minutes walk) to the main tourist attractions. Breakfast is served in the lobby with nowhere to sit.

Plussat: I liked location and generally it is cute hotel to stay.

Miinukset: I would like the toilet and bath facilities to be cleaner. Some hair were found there when we arrived. Not so nice. Breakfast was good. But may be some variations in meal would be great.

Plussat: Uima-allas mukava lisä palmuineen. Sijainti lähellä kaikkea. Suhteellisen hiljainen huone. Aamupalakin olisi ilmeisesti tarvittaessa ollut saatavilla. Jääkaapista plussaa. Huoneessa kaikki tarvittava.

Miinukset: Pikku nuhruisuus.

Plussat: sijainti hyva, helppo loytaa, autolle parkkipaikka, kaikki toimi kuten oli tilattu.

Miinukset: Aamiainen oli suomalaiselle epatyypillinen, asia jonka tiesin varausta tehdessani.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly. Location is good.

Plussat: Good location

Plussat: room was clean, basic, staff was OK but not informative.

Miinukset: street noise at all hours of the day

Plussat: Great location, the staff has been real friendly and helpful and the rooms are good.

Plussat: Close to everything, easy to find, very friendly & helpful staff

Miinukset: Clean but shabby, no water pressure/bad showerheads, very very firm beds were uncomfortable, a/c worked well but very loud

Plussat: customer service was friendly

Miinukset: Beds were uncomfortable. Bathroom mediocre

Plussat: proximity to Metro Rail station to get to the tourist parts of Hollywood Blvd and very easy to get to Universal Studios. There is a breakfast included and free parking and wifi

Miinukset: Towels are small and very snug parking in back, would not recommend parking an SUV, and there is no elevator and breakfast is a bit lacking
