I had an amazing stay at Samesun Hollywood! For those looking forward to an affordable, safe and well located place, this is the place!
Staff was helpful and very friendly. Although it's a hostel, it's very organized and with rules that manage to work very well. Place was really safe, not loud or messy at all.
The room I stayed (4-bunk beds) was also very organized. Bed sheets were clean, floor was clean and privacy was guaranteed with curtains on each bed. There's also a curtain at the bedroom to change clothes if you want.
Bathroom was also very clean. Toilets have paper protection on the seats and showers were always available whenever I needed (felt even surprised to see they offered shampoo and body wash). Just missed an hairdryer there. It would be a plus!
Common areas were also great. Kitchen was fully equipped; and they offered a small continental breakfast for the early birds, which was great. Large fridge for you to stock your food and drinks - very organized.
Location is top - right at Hollywood Boulevard, across Dolby Theater and the Highlands subway station. You can go pretty much everywhere from there.
Notice: they don't have elevators (stairs to come up and go with your luggage, but I didn't see a problem on that).
I would definitely stay again at Samesun Hollywood and probably at another Samesun property in US or Canada if I have the chance.
My only suggestion: it would be nice to have more events and ways to interact with other guests at the hostel.
