Staff molto cordiale e disponibile. Colazione gratuita servita nel giardino, che è molto accogliente. La stanza (una quadrupla privata) era molto, molto spaziosa e fornita anche di cucina. Veramente un ottimo soggiorno, siamo rimasti tutti molto soddisfatti. Straconsiglio!

Above and Beyond

Was above and beyond what i could've expected. The facilties were well kept and maintenanced, staff kind and helpful, rooms and spaces clean, hospitality through the roof with special "BBQ" social parties in the evening. The location was super short, direct, and safe shot to all of Hollywood.

Good location, parking is around 7-12 USD. Keep in mind this is a Hostel, so be prepared for noise late at night, especially on weekends. The location is convenient for several destinations around Hollywoo

super friendliness of the office staff, and really helpful. Good 50's Cuban vibes. Nice touch with a pool table and foosball table. Could improve their breakfast though (fruits,..) and recycling options was not existent....or well hidden :)

This property was an excellent value. For an economical price tag, this place filled all the requirements. Great staff! Very helpful and accommodating. Downside is the neighborhood outside is not the greatest. However, there is a big metal entrance gate that makes you feel safe. Quirky and charming hotel.
