Unlike the USA Hostels Hollywood, I wouldn't recommend this hostel to anyone. Very dodgy area - I wouldn't recommend walking in surrounding areas at night or on your own in the day. As for the positives, it has a pool area (don't swallow the water as I did!), air conditioning, games room, kitchen area, private bathrooms, laundry facilities, internet access and the prices aren't too bad. However, it worked out roughly the same price for myself and two friends to stay at the MGM Grand (great hotel on the Strip)during weekdays. If you are on a budget, it might be an option to just stay at this hostel at the weekend when the prices for hotels on the Strip are higher. The hostel is not too far from the major attractions of the Strip, although the walk seems a lot further in the heat.
I hope this review helps!
