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.

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.

Good price for a great,...

Liked: We family of 4 stayed at Banana Bungalow for two nights. Room and facilities were clean. AC and fan. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A simple free breakfast was available in the communal dining room and we appreciated this lots. A full kitchen was available for guests to cook their own meals. Small bar fridge in the room, as well as a large shared guest fridge in the kitchen. Table tennis and equipment freely available to all guests. 15 minute walk to Trader Joe's grocery supermarket, and all the meals anyone could imagine. The styling of the facilities was dated, but the price was the lowest around, almost by half, and the clean friendly environment with fantastic extras was definitely win.
Disliked: There was nothing to fault in this accomodation. The styling of the facilities was dated, but the price was the lowest around, almost by half, and the clean friendly environment with fantastic extras was definitely win.The room fan did stop working. Maintenance came and had a look and fixed it, but it stopped again.
