I lived there with my family for 8 days, everything was satisfactory for us. The staff was very kind and helpful. Conveniently located in the center of Hollywood. 5 mins walk to Target, this is very good to buy food and grocery, and a lot of restaurants around. Having a parking lot behind the accommodation was very good.

The rooms are fitted with a coffee machine and a shared bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, while some rooms also boast a kitchen fitted with a fridge. At the hostel all rooms come with bed linen and towels.

The local, the place, and overall everything. I prefer staying in places that feel more like personal rooms than cookie-cutter hotels and drab furnishings. Great spot close to loads of amenities and easy to navigate around even if you don't know the area. More of a self-serving BnB... . and already booked another stay.

The Steady is absolutely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at!!! The dorm and the common spaces are bright, with lots of natural sunlight and quiet, perfect to unwind and chill after a long day out and about Los Angeles...The staff is very friendly, professional and always welcomes you with a big smile! And the area is quite central and lively, since it is very close to LA City College, cute vintage shops and lots of cafès and restaurants! My brother and I really loved the vibe of the place... Looking forward to coming back soon!!!
