Banana Bungalow West Hollywood Hotel & Hostel

Los Angeles carries 45 hostel listings on SiteCity, which is enough that you'll want to narrow before you start calling around. Eight of them cluster in the 90028 zip code, so if you're set on staying near that stretch, start there and treat the rest of the city as backup. Contact info is decent but not universal: 41 listings have a phone number and 35 list a website, so a chunk of names on this page won't have a link to click before you dial.

No business here is labeled Sponsored, since this category hasn't turned on paid placement in Los Angeles, so the order you scroll is just the directory's default sequence. That also means nobody's been rated or picked by SiteCity, only listed. If a hostel you run shows up without a phone number or website, you can claim it and add what's missing yourself, which helps travelers comparing options in zips outside 90028 where only one or two hostels show up at all. Call two or three that fit your area before locking in a booking.
