The Hollywood International Hostel - 24 hour Check in - Under New Management

Quiet and peaceful.

Worse place ever

Everything

This place was cheap, which is the only thing it had going for it.

Firstly, I never got my change and this place only accepted cash (something the website didn't say), so from the outset I had to walk nearly ten minutes to a Family Dollar to incur ATM fees to pay for my bed. My change wasn't a lot, but it's the principle of the matter and shows the character of the fella who handled my check in. This place is cluttered to all hell. Decor-wise, the vibe was that of an aunt that takes in all the family member's kids and she has a bunch of broken stuff laying around that she can't move herself. So there was a gross, extra fridge along with various bits of mismatched things in states of disrepair. The kitchen trash was filled to the top, nearly overflowing. The women's bathroom was gross. It looked like discolored water damage on the side of the cabinet that houses the sink. The sink was tiny, not one you could easily wish your face in without making a mess. Despite outdoor shoes not being allowed in the house, due to people stepping in water, the bathroom had dirty shoe marks. The checkin process was nonexistent, seemed like the guy was making it up as he went, taking pictures of my booking e-mail instead of having a confirmation on his end. Overall vibes-wise, the place gives off human trafficking compound. It's not comfortable at all. There's barely any room for luggage, but who needs it if you might be kidnapped soon, right? Choosing this place was not my finest moment and if you do, it won't be yours, either. Yes, the price is European, but the experience most definitely is not.
