Pros:

It’s a hidden gem in LA, this place operate the most safe,fun,generous and professional stay in the city and cheapest too. I really wish them the best and my only advise for the great manager to observe the stuff more to make sure that they all acting friendly as most of them do. And more focus will make the place more batter

Pros:

First of all they should advertise it as a HOSTEL or DORM . It shows up as HOTEL VIBE which is incorrect . Also the door cannot be locked from inside so that was a big red flag for me and so we vacated the room immediately and checked into a Proper hotel chain. Also the air conditioner wasn’t working the temperature setting knob was locked and so we couldn’t adjust it at all when enquired with the front desk they said it is a old building so the air conditioner is not working properly I was traveling with my daughter so we weren’t comfortable staying there at all I had booked for a 3 night stay and they wouldn’t refund also at least for the next two nights so I felt I was cheated by the hotel. very disappointed and a terrible experience from hotels.com I am not sure if I would book through hotels.com

2 star, affordable but kinda rough
Pros:

I don’t like to leave poor reviews, but I have to be honest because i don’t think the reviews I read for this place were accurate. First off it was confusing because it says “Banana Bungalow” outside, not “Vibe Hotel”. The room was dark with fogged windows, and the bed sheets were terrible quality. The fan couldn’t be turned to blow on me while I slept and could only blow into the middle of the room. And the worst part is I saw multiple cockroaches by the bathroom while I was there. Yikes :(
The place did seem clean, and there were no bugs near the bed, but the other factors made staying here a not-so-enjoyable for experience and I would not recommend or stay here again

You get what you pay for.
Pros:

Parking garage is 9 and change day. Dorm hostel or hotel room options. Right in heart of West Hollywood so lots of people and traffic. Breakfast. Activities daily. Outdoor seating bar area. Forget sleep as other guests all nite slam doors constantly have loud tv and raised voices for all to hear. Outside Groups of folks form line and gather along 100 numbered rooms I think for outings; some r quiet some super loud and they can c right in rooms so use blinds if so inclined. Bugs in room including huge cockroaches so bring spray or avoid this place. Bed comfortable. Staff nice and most helpful but one. Multi speed oscillating fan is your AC. Laundry with free soap but hotter in basement laundry room. Free spirited folks who stay here so helps if you too r that but no real guests issue. Will I be back. No the huge cockroach was the last straw.

Pros:

I loved the Vibe Hotel! It’s perfect for a night or two when you’re out and about in LA. Let’s be real… when you’re paying around $100 a night in this city, you’re not booking the Ritz. But what you are getting here is solid: a comfy bed, a full bathroom, and a cool view of Fairfax Ave.

A couple of the towels had some minor stains, but nothing that ruined the experience. Honestly, for the price and location, it’s a great value. I’d absolutely stay here again. Great energy, great community, and it gets the job done when all you need is a place to crash.

Pros:

Beds and bathtub were clean, which was nice. But they need to swiffer the floors at least, as they were not clean.

Pros:

Great location, spotless rooms, and super friendly staff. Parking was convenient and reasonably priced, which was a nice bonus. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5: breakfast could use improvement, and a couple of nights were disrupted by noisy neighbors. Overall, though, a very good stay and I’d definitely consider coming back!

A little older but clean enough and an interesting experience! Lighting could have been better especially for trying to do our makeup though.

Pros:

So! This is a hostile. Not a Hotel. It is bare bones. I stayed in room 116 and it is a room with walls, a bed and a bathroom. Also, it had roaches. The little brown ones. They changed my room pretty fast, I'll give them that. But the second room wasn't much better. You have no control over the AC (yet there's a isolated fan in every room), you are in charge of the kitchen, the elevator doesn't work, and two out of the three people I dealt with at the "office" were unfriendly zombies. It was like staying in a dorm. If you're NEVER gonna be in the room but to shower and sleep...ok. knock yourself out. But if you expect it to be an actual hotel, forget it. Stay at Motel 6 or Knights Inn...you'll be glad you did. IF I had anything positive to say; the area is really accessible/walkable, wifi was decent, And the lobby is charming and vintage ... THATS ALL. If you DO decide to stay there, get the upgraded room. It has bunk beds and a bigger bathroom and balcony.

Pros:

One of the bath towels had a red stain. It did look like a blood stain. Pretty gross. Will not stay again there. The staff were very friendly and courteous.

The Banana Bungalow Rocks!
Pros:

The hotel was very clean. The staff was warm and friendly with one exception. I went to get coffee at 7am on the first morning and there was a young man who was very unfriendly and told me repeatedly that "the kitchen is closed", even though there was fresh coffee ready and available. He was not happy about me getting some. Next time I'll probably bring my own coffee maker.Wednesday karaoke was fun and Jude was really wonderful. I will definitely be coming back. Also Patience was really a sweet soul. Between Jude and Patience they more than made up for the surly one.

Pros:

The hotel is ok but very old and there is no a/c in the rooms. When I checked in the water of the shower was constantly running and I had to change a room.

I’ve stayed here a bunch of times over the last 11/12 years and it’s always been a great place to stay! Great location for me…lots of great areas close by! I always tend to meet some great like minded people there too! I always recommend this place.

Saw lots of bad reviews so wasn't going in with the best mindset, thankfully turned out great. The floor of my room had some litter on it, but otherwise was good.

Pros:

Vibe/Banana Bungalow was an OK stay. This is the place for you if you only need a bed to sleep in. Cleanliness was OK, the tile floor didn't seem to be mopped properly, and the bed seemed slept in, it was made, but the sheets were not clean. They didn't have any stains or bad smells, just looked & smelled dingy. Water pressure was very low, and they don't have AC for most of the day, so the room was extremely warm and muggy when we checked in, it was cooler outside than it was inside and the warmth made it difficult for us to fall asleep. This place is probably really horrible in the summer time if they don't run the AC. Staff was overall friendly and the basic cable was nice to chill to.
