  Great stay!

  25 May 2026

  My best friend and I, 49 and 50 years old, were celebrating 30 years of friendship and decided to take a chance and stay at Orange Drive Hostel, and we are SO happy we did.This place is such a gem. The location is absolutely perfect and the old Hollywood mansion has so much charm and character. Everything was incredibly clean, comfortable, and welcoming.The biggest shout out goes to Kyle at the front desk, who is honestly one of the best people we have ever encountered while traveling. He is an absolute rockstar at his job and genuinely cares about every single guest. His kindness, warmth, and attention to detail made our stay so special. I even nicknamed him “My Sweet Ginger” and appreciated the amazing photos he took for me in front of the iconic Marilyn picture. 😉Also, everyone needs to check out the vintage phone booth inside the mansion and make a phone call from it. Such a cool little experience that made us smile.We felt so taken care of during our stay and would come back again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making two lifelong friends feel so welcome while celebrating such a special trip together.

  Perfect stay at a reasonable value

  Awesome location next to Dolby Theater. Exceptionally clean and polite staff. We booked a private en-suite room, which was just right for what we needed. A kitchen was available for complimentary tea/coffee and/or facility for making breakfast etc Room was in basement, but realised later that we could have booked a room on GG Ed ground floor as well ( wasn’t specified in booking website).

  One Night Stay for One Night Visit to LA

  14 Apr 2025

  Great stay! The staff was friendly, budget-friendly, and accommodating. They quickly processed my check-in, even though I arrived late. Pedro shared his journey to becoming the manager.The location is convenient, easy to access Hollywood, and close to the Metro. There are many activities nearby, especially behind the Chinese theater. It might be a good place to stay if you plan to visit the Hollywood Bowl or Dodger Stadium.However, the bathrooms are small and have limited storage. Be prepared to wait and be courteous when using the bathroom or shower. The kitchen is well-equipped with multiple fridges and a case for shopping.Overall, it’s a solid 8.5/10. I deducted a point for the bathroom size and another for the lack of access to the top bunk and the need to put on the sheets yourself.

  LA weekend.

  Absolute fine for the price! Stayed in a private twin with shared bathroom. Location quiet, yet only a few minutes walk to Hollywood walk of fame and the Chinese theatre! We wanted a good base to get to Universal Studios (10 minutes in uber) so this hostel ticked all the boxes. Considering the price we paid, cannot complain. Beds were a little hard, but overall absolute fine.

  3 night stay- Faultless

  Amazing hostel! The staff can’t do enough to help you at the front desk, helping you with local attractions and even some money saving tricks. The area is quiet but in a prime area and felt so safe for being right off Hollywood boulevard. All of the facilities were clean and excellent value for money.
