Pros: Location was perfect. Near Runyon where I loved to go hiking every day. I also liked the old house and it's simple, light decoration. It was easy to walk everywhere or take a bus, metro station was close as well. Even though the nearest street was full of tourists and all that Hollywood hoopla this hostel was quiet and peaceful. I stayed for 6 nights and really liked the place. Bed was good.

10.0
Pros: The hostel is located both near Hollywood Vine Metro and the Flyaway bus which is only USD $8 fare from LAX to that stop. It is also about $30-40 by Uber but if you have the time to wait for this bus it is super convenient. Just ensure you have the time to wait. It is located a little further down from the busiest part of the chaos of the Hollywood strip. The side street it is located on does have questionable individuals late at night however I did not feel unsafe as a female travelling alone. It is of course LA and that could've been pretty much anywhere. The main entrance is locked at night and you get an access card for the room. The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating. There are daily free tours organised by the hostel. I did not use these as the roomies I had (6 person mixed share) were wonderful and i was able to make friends and do things with them straight away. There is an outdoor seating area outside, a library/common room upstairs which makes it easier to engage with other people staying there. The room was clean. The beds have a small courtesy wall which aids for extra privacy. There is a shelf, a light, charging plug and usb points in each bed. Given i was on the top bunk, this was really great. There are additional charging points in the lockers in the room. The bathroom was large for the room so it felt like being in a real hotel with a real bathroom (instead of cramming into a small box and not able to place your clothes anywhere). Breakfast was available and basic - bread, fruits, cereals, juice & coffee plus filtered water station. For a hostel i found this adequate. There are plenty of options to eat nearby - a great taco/hotdog food truck just down the road if you prefer the street vendors. WIFI was great, never dropped out. Overall this was a great stay, thanks to the staff for making me feel welcome.

Cons: Listen if your thinking that Hollywood is like something out of a 1950s movie you are sorely mistaken, the hollywood strip is mostly strip clubs, bong shops, tons of tourists and scientology museums. Its straight up weird. If you want to stay in Hollywood, stay at USA hostels, but seriously consider staying elsewhere if the above aint your jam.

Cons: There is a large fan in the room and i stayed on some fairly hot days. I believe there was air con. I didn't feel that uncomfortable given how hot it was but maybe could've been a bit cooler. This is super minor. Having to show your access card to be let in, instead of just swiping at the door. In all honesty, the staff manned that desk like hawks 24/7 so other than having to get the card out every time, this was a non-issue.

Cons: The kitchen is temporary closed for cleaning after breakfast till 11pm (check-out time), wish they didn't have to lock the door tho, cuz I put some food in the fridge that I plan to get before checking out. Also, area outside walk of fame has a lot of sketchy ppl that's just dying to con your money. One of them stuffed a CD onto my luggage and try to open my bags. I'm not afraid of them, but I'm afraid that they might try to steal my stuffs. I caught his act. But he gave a very loud shout right next to my ear to scare me when I am waiting for the traffic light to turn. Then also, some crazy ppl at the metro would say $hit to you. (Not the hostel problem tho). You just need to ignore these ppl as much as you can, no eye contact, don't say anything, wear headphones, wear a hat if you have to, but don't even give them a word, it would only provoke them.

Pros: Superior staff, friendly, helpful, accommodating. Metro buses 10 and 207 bus stops were located a half block away. Both buses eventually pass by a Metro rail station. Inside the first floor eating and lounge areas were places you wouldn’t mind eating or leisurely watching television or playing pool in. Reasonably clean areas. The hosts serve a continental breakfast which included fresh bananas, apples, mixed fruits (grapes, blueberries, etc.) melons (watermelon, honey dew), orange juice, milk, coffee, Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes (name brand), assorted dried fruits, and nuts, miniature muffins and donuts, assorted breads, bagels, and croissants. And good WIFI. Second floor is where the bedrooms and bathrooms are. Bathrooms: I WAS IMPRESSED. The owners thought about this. There is one full bathroom (bathtub).Two bathrooms with a sink and commode, and two bathrooms with just a commode—sink to wash hands was located on the outside of these two commodes. There were also four private showers (only). It creates a nice flow when no one has to wait for long to use a commode or shower. They also provide toilet covers. While the cleanliness of the bathrooms was sufficient, someone needs to get on some knees and scrub. But it really wasn’t bad. The. actual rooms were clean and airy. Modern. The beds comfortable. Nice sheets and spread. I was in a room with 13 other women. I have been in hostels where they pack you in like cattle. One hostel had 40 person capacity, but only three bathrooms available to 36 guests. Horrible. That wasn’t the case at Melrose Hostel. Plenty of bathrooms, and a well thought out design. They do have a policy of visitors providing proof of travel. That makes sense, otherwise the place would be overrun with street people. If I had to stay in a hostel in the future, I would have no problem staying at Melrose Hostel again. But I prefer the Hilton. Smiling

While the cleanliness of the bathrooms was sufficient, someone needs to get on some knees and scrub. But it really wasn’t bad. The. actual rooms were clean and airy. Modern. The beds comfortable. Nice sheets and spread. I was in a room with 13 other women. I have been in hostels where they pack you in like cattle. One hostel had 40 person capacity, but only three bathrooms available to 36 guests. Horrible. That wasn’t the case at Melrose Hostel. Plenty of bathrooms, and a well thought out design. They do have a policy of visitors providing proof of travel. That makes sense, otherwise the place would be overrun with street people. If I had to stay in a hostel in the future, I would have no problem staying at Melrose Hostel again. But I prefer the Hilton. Smiling
Cons: There is no elevator (wheelchair).

Cons: the neighborhood is sketchy, wouldn't go outside after dark alone, the pictures on the site look like they were taken 5 years ago.. plastic plates and forks, the overall space of the kitchen is small so don't expect much cooking.. over all if you need a place to sleep for one night, might be worth it, otherwise I would skip it

Pros:
Cons: The location is not in the best area, there is no staff on site (they send you a passcode and room allocation via text), rooms are quite small. There is no option to securely store your valuables and given the very low level of security for the building basically anyone could come in and take something. You get what you pay for, nothing more, nothing less. My bed was also a top bunk right under the airco so was freezing at night.

Cons: Cameras everywhere watching your every move. There even Cameras places next to the Bathroom... This was not disclosed prior to checking in.. The guy that runs the property Michael is rude and condescending. There was Ants everywhere all over the toilet and shower. No televisions. The AC was either too hot or too cold and no place to change the temperature. The neighborhood was unsafe.
I will not be staying near this property again. I was locked out my first day because this property relays on codes to enter your room and house.. I accidentally walked out of my room to retrieve my luggage out of my car and left my phone in my room and was locked out.
5.0 Okay
Pros: Nice and quiet neighborhood. Near to most bus stopps.
Cons: There were no soap or shower gel. Window blinds were broken. Flat and small pillows. Cupboard glass was broken. Bathrooms were not cleaned properly.

Dirty chairs in dining area.

Cons: We felt that the pictures on booking.com are slightly misleading - they show the rooms in a favorable light compared to reality. Our room was smaller than anticipated. The place was reasonably clean but not as clean as I'd like or as shown in the photos. There were a lot of black scuff marks on the walls. Also no bath mat in the bathroom.

I arrived late and when I got there the man at the desk said he was glad he waited for me because I'm pretty and he had decided to stay awake waiting for me because I sounded pretty when I called earlier to say my plane had been delayed. He had a really creepy vibe. There also seemed to be some homeless men staying in the hostel. I don't ever leave bad reviews but really don't recommend anyone to stay here, especially if you are a woman travelling by yourself.
