Hollywood at Highland

Liked: I don"t eat anything other than black coffee in the morning till afternoon so cant tell about breakfast, Observed oranges and donuts. Rooms are fully furnished. Kitchen well maintained and well equipped. Location is extra ordinary for those who want Hollywood living experience. There are little ristrictions about lobby and visitors ,but manageable. Tight Security.
Disliked: Wide staircase with handrails I liked. For weight lifters like me it was ok. I didn't found lack of Lift.

Very good

Great location, cozy atmosphere

Liked: The location is great, as stated. Was even able to see a Hollywood Christmas parade right from the window. As for the comfort, I use earplugs anyway, but the room was quiet, and I didn't find the place overly loud even for its location. Overall impression: clean, cozy. Not a big fan of the breakfast, but coffee in the morning is a huge plus. The staff was nice, helpful, and flexible. I stayed for 3 nights here, then moved to another place and regretted it a bit, probably should've stayed here for the rest of the trip.
Disliked: I didn't find it comfortable that the bathrooms and showers were being cleaned in the morning and in the evening during the busiest hours when the majority of guests are using them. Once, there was a male staff member in the women's bathroom/shower area, which I found a bit off-putting. The common space is comfortable, although if you have work meetings while you stay there, it might be a bit loud.

One of the ncest backpackers...

Exceptional

Good

Liked: Bunks with curtains and personal charging areas is always appreciated. Excellent location, opposite the train station makes for easy access to the rest of the city and the airport.
Disliked: Whilst the mattresses were excellent, they are very thick. When sleeping on a bottom bunk, it is not possible to sit up in the bed without hitting your head. You also have to be super careful, ducking to get in and out of the bunk.

Pound for Pound best hostel

Liked: The folks that work the front desk
Disliked: Hygiene of some of the guest
