The Spotlight on Banana Bungalow Hollywood Hotel & Hostel

Social, Sunny, and Steps from Hollywood's Music Scene

Modern hostel vibes meet retro Hollywood charm at the Banana Bungalow Hollywood Hotel & Hostel. Located right on famous Hollywood Boulevard, this vibrant spot puts you within walking distance of iconic attractions like the Walk of Fame and some of LA’s most legendary music venues. With palm trees, a courtyard view of the Hollywood Sign, and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s an ideal base for music fans looking to soak up the LA scene without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is unbeatable—just a short stroll or ride-share from the Dolby Theatre, Hollywood Bowl, and Capitol Records Building. After the show, wind down in the courtyard under the heaters or head back to your room with ease. The hostel-style setup makes it easy to meet fellow concert-goers, and the 2pm check-in gives you time to settle in before evening events. Plus, the secure, affordable parking means you can leave your car and explore on foot or via LA’s Metro Red Line.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to split a room and save
  • Solo travelers ready to meet fellow music lovers
  • Couples seeking a fun, budget-friendly weekend
  • Fans who want to chill post-show in a relaxed atmosphere
  • Budget-conscious music fans who’d rather spend on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with free breakfast—perfect after a late night out. There’s also free coffee and tea available all day in the courtyard. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hostel is surrounded by walkable dining spots on Hollywood Boulevard. With full kitchens in both private rooms and dorms, you can even cook your own post-show snacks.

Nightlife Options

On-site perks include a karaoke stage and occasional live music performances—so the party doesn’t have to stop after the concert. For more action, Hollywood’s famous bars, lounges, and clubs are just minutes away. Or keep it low-key in the movie lounge or Tiki Garden under the stars.

What People Say

Guests rave about the fun social vibe, friendly staff, and awesome location. Many say it’s “a great place to meet people,” and love the little extras like free Wi-Fi, foosball, and the outdoor courtyard with views of the Hollywood Sign. Reviews highlight the convenience to venues and the budget-friendly rates as top reasons they’d return.

Areas for Improvement

If you're a light sleeper, note that the social atmosphere can get lively in the evenings—nothing earplugs can't fix! Some rooms could use a refresh, but the value and location make up for it. Limited breakfast options mean you might want to explore nearby cafés for morning fuel.

The Bottom Line

For a budget-friendly, fun, and super central stay close to Hollywood’s top concert venues, Banana Bungalow Hollywood Hotel & Hostel hits all the right notes.

Peter Tue, 1 July 2025

Superb

Liked: I like the staff, they are really nice and very helpful. It was perfect, at least for me that there was fresh coffee for whole day, clean filtered water. They arranged every evening something, from BBQ, free pizza evening, free drinks in the evening. So it was very nice.Also must say about Stephen our tour guide, he arranged very good tours for really good money, it is more for the walking people, but he is a great guy and knows a lot about surrounding. I recommend there to stay for anyone, also family friendly!
Disliked: There is nothing to critisise, good service for good price.

Love this place

Liked: Walking distance to food food and convenience stores was awesome. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The tiki garden in the back is very tranquil with small breakfast served. Community area looked fun but did not get a chance to use them during our one night stay. Overall really loved this place!
Disliked: The units closest to the street will get alot of street noise from traffic and the unhomed community, but this is LA and it's normal.

Good place to stay

Liked: The bungalow was very self contained and safe. If you have a car there is parking off the street. The breakfast and social areas are great. Plus the hostel has several social events during the week, BBQ and whatnot.
Disliked: The dorm mates I have left towels all over the bathroom.
