The Spotlight on Banana Bungalow West Hollywood Hotel & Hostel

Social, Affordable, and Right in the Heart of West Hollywood

Modern, quirky, and full of personality, Banana Bungalow West Hollywood Hotel & Hostel brings a vibrant, social vibe to one of LA’s most iconic neighborhoods. Located on the buzzing Fairfax Avenue near the Melrose Strip, you're steps from shopping, nightlife, and some of the city’s top live music spots. This colorful hostel-hotel hybrid is perfect for travelers looking to meet fellow music lovers and enjoy a fun, budget-friendly stay.

Private rooms offer hotel-style comforts like ensuite bathrooms, mini-fridges, and satellite TVs, while dorms deliver a social experience with shared spaces and all the essentials. The property features a Tiki courtyard, outdoor karaoke stage, game rooms, and daily free events—making it a true hub for laid-back fun in LA.
