Great value for money in LA, easy access to metro system and fairly safe area for travellers. Glad we got the private 2 bed bunk room.

Not a hostel that you’d meet people, I prefer hostels that are reserved for tourists only - this one seemed to have LA residents that just wanted a cheap nights accomodation/shower ://

it was easy to access the bus to get around LA from this place. James the owner communicated well and provided instructions (make sure you have access to a mobile phone in the US) and was able to answer questions fairly quickly. the other boarders at this place were generally quite friendly and well behaved. the place is kept decently clean by the hardworking cleaners. the house is quite nice and the neighbourhood is very safe and quiet. good value for money.

there are more long term American boarders staying here than travellers but that was OK. the shared bathrooms are always occupied during the mornings. if you had any questions about LA there was no staff to ask but you could ask the boarders, so you need to be independent if you are staying here.

I really love this hostel! It's a great location in Korea Town with lots of nice nearby stores and restaurants. I got a vape for $5 and some delicious food. Also, the club Catch One is in walking distance although I skipped club night because I found my bed to be comfortable. I love that they have all girls dorms (that's where I stayed) and there is a smoking patio, guests only, as well as a kitchen. The cleaning lady was super nice and let me have a towel although I didn't have $2 exactly she let me have it and pay the next day so I could shower. I usually travel with my gym towel but I forgot. Also, there is a restroom with shower as well as mini fridge inside the girls room which is really great for privacy.

I love that there is a girl's dorm but the room is a little cramped. At least there is a socket by the bed to charge your phone but there isn't much wiggle room.

I stay in an all women’s room with my niece. Every bunkbed has outlets to charge your phone and lockers to keep items safe. (You’ll need to bring your own lock) Shared home with travelers and permanent residence. Everyone was kind and helpful. Some people kept to themselves. No one bothered our belongings or food that was in the fridge. House keeping cleaned bathrooms/ kitchen etc everyday. Shared Private parking with fee but very convenient since everyone takes up the street parking. Spacious and clean. My niece and I had a wonderful 2 night stay for a great price and had great connection with everyone.

The mattress could be thicker.

The area is nice and safe, the hostel looks nice and clean, it has lockers in the bedrooms, a kitchen and also mini friges in the rooms. I liked that the room had a private bathroom separate from the shared ones with all the other guests, felt more private and cleaner.

I stayed in an all female room which I definitely recommend because some of the guests that were in the mixed or male dorms looked quite sketchy to say the least so I didn't feel that comfortable in the shared areas, but felt safe and comfortable in my room

Owner was accommodating, whole hostel was clean and it was nice having bathrooms inside the rooms as well as extra ones outside. The location is just a few minutes walk from lots of restaurants in Koreatown and there are several bus stops nearby. Price was reasonable, other guests were nice and clean, cleaners were efficient and friendly. I would stay here again.

Wifi was out because of the IT shortage It would be nice to have a detachable shower head and curtains around the beds

The cleanliness, the staff,and most of the guests were cool.Housekeeping around the clock.Near facilities and transit.Secure rooms and areas. And available washer and dryer l.Well maintained grounds,kitchen,and conditions of the rooms especially bathrooms.James the owner I happened to meet on the way out was cool.

The table and chairs in dining could have been a bit more comfortable and overflow of the fridge.

The location is pretty good; you have bus stops all around and a metro close. The rooms are clean and you can even cook if you wash everything. I would definitely come back if in LA; the price and the quality are very good!

Im tall and big, but I was assigned the top bed in the bunkbed, that was a struggle. The water pressure is not that good, but the temperature is ok.

An extremely well-managed hostel, which for many hostel lovers is seldom the case. Super clean. The housekeepers don't just go thru the motions, they actually clean the heck out of every room. Big back yard with a deck and chairs facing away from the street. Gorgeous. Value for money is outstanding.

Nothing.
