My partner and I stayed at Banana Bungalow, otherwise known as Vibe Hotel, in May 2008 for 8 nights. We paid a cheap price of $56.50 per night for a Private Double Room which includes free internet access & free breakfast. Breakfast consisted of cereal & toast. You are served this at the back of the complex in the 'Tiki... more

Just to share a bit of our experience with this hotel/inn. My husband and I have checked in to a Premium Private Room with bathroom & kitchen attached. The location is good. Near to bus stops and Hollywood Vine Metro Subway Station (5min's walk). You can choose to walk to the Walk of Fame/Chinese Theatre/Kodak Theatre though. It probably takes... more

The website makes it look really good but in reality it was grubby and noisy. I had a private room rather than a dorm and it wasn't the worst room I've ever... more

Just returned from a trip to LA, California. The three of us stayed at the Vibes Hotel which is also known as the Banana Bungalow located at 5920 Hollywood Boulevard. We checked into a Private Room for 4 nights which is US$75/- per night. If you book a Prime Time Shuttle from LAX airport to the hotel, you can claim... more
