This hostel is just down the road from Hollywood Blvd. and the hotel hosting my conference. Rooms were clean. Although I stayed in a 4-bedroom male dorm, there were no more than 2 others staying. Most of the time, I was only sharing the room with one other person whom worked for the hostel. Rooms were cleaned daily and process of booking/checking out was absolutely painless. Overall, it was a convenient, affordable solution for my lodging during a conference.
