I had a good time staying at Orange Drive Hostel. The building was about 100 years old but very well maintained, original wood floors and trimming throughout. Even though there were three bunks in the room it was spacious and clean with seating and four huge beautiful windows.
Many restrooms and showers each cleaned and working daily, perfect water pressure, well stocked. The grounds were constantly shaded by a giant tree at least as old a the building, all outside seating was comfy and clean.
There was always a manager or maintenance worker on hand all very knowledgeable and friendly. The kitchen was awesome, all the waffles and pancakes you can eat every morning. The sink was equipped with a fixture just for hot water which was perfect for tea or “Cup of Noodles”. The kitchen had three refrigerators, and two ranges. It was fully stocked with pans, plates, dishes, bowls, and mugs.
The location was impeccable right next to the Hollywood strip, close to all the bars and clubs. There was a grocery store and drug store about two blocks away. I highly recommend this place and I would stay there again!
