This place is dirty and rundown. It smells like Pinesol covering up funk. The photos on their website are entirely misleading! It doesn't even come close to looking half that spiffy in reality. I reserved a private room for August; a hot month in Los Angeles. Air conditioning wasn't working when we checked in at 12 noon. It was so... more

This place is an absolute Dump with a capital "D" the rooms are disgustingly dirty, not to mention the bed linen. Most beds in most rooms have bed bugs the carpets are filthy, the staff on reception are useless, cant be bothered to get off their chairs and assist you. Ive just got back today from staying there and got... more

Firstly, for any that don't realise, as me and my girlfriend didn't, this hostel is linked with the Banana Bungalow, which is down the street... We booked 2 beds in a mixed dorm at Orbit Hostel, and as soon as we arrived we were told to go down to the Banana Bungalow because that was where our room was booked,... more

We booked with the Orbit awhile ago and got a room for $64 a night - private room with a bathroom. We stayed for 4 nights. I turned up with my confirmation and was told that they didn't have a room for us. After about an hour of screwing around they finally discovered that they had stuck us in 'The... more

Stayed at the Orbit at the end of July in a private room with bathroom. I feel that the website for the hostel is a false advertisement and does not portray the hostel accuratley. After the initial shock upon entering the room, it took me a good two hours to accept that this was were I was going to stay... more
