The hostel is fine, but there isn't much security, and the lockers are small.

es war SEHR kalt im Zimmer (Klimaanlage war aus), Küche war richtig dreckig, wenig Geschirr, es gibt nicht wirklich eine Rezeption - keine Ansprechpartner, im Zimmer roch es nach Pferdestall Bad ist schön & groß - keine Wartezeit

Staff were nonexistent, checkin was done over WhatsApp and felt sketchy. People seemed to be living there and the vibe was extremely antisocial. The area was also pretty sketchy and there were many points where I felt unsafe.

Das Hostel liegt in Koreatown. Die Umgebung war okay. Die Bäder waren grlßtenteils sauber. Es ist nur leider so das im Hostel Menschen wohnen und es gibt eher weniger richtige Reisende dort was den Aufenthalt schlechter gemacht hat.

Management needs to initiate a policy of emptying all lockers daily that do not have locks on them. Lockers are on a first come first served basis here which is fine with me but when I checked into my room all six lockers had stuff inside them but only two of those lockers actually had locks on them. As far as I could tell the stuff in the lockers without locks on them might have been abandoned and sitting in here for months. Lockers are not shelving and should be for those bringing locks.

Very good and decent stay here. I also left my bracelet here and they promptly were able to find it and I picked it up right away.

Second to cleanliness, is communication- and the communication with the property rep was 10/10. This place looked just like the photographs and it was clean.

Booked the mixed dorm, and the first few nights had to share the room w a couple of sketchy individuals, the owner kicked them out after things got almost hostile, which was good. The owner himself was quite rude tho, not pleasant to deal with. However the cleaning ladies do a great job to keep the facilities clean. The dorms stink.

Bad stay. Although the beds are quite comfortable, there are no curtains or blinds worthy of the name so you are woken up as soon as dawn breaks. The walls could have been non-existent, it would be the same as you can hear everyone outside. It is located near a road that is quite busy in the morning. There is a scent diffuser in the room that activates every 20 minutes or so and makes a lot of noise. The door code box is very noisy so you will hear everyone entering, etc. Go elsewhere.

I was working at the LA Convention Center and found the hostel to be very convenient & affordable compared to other motels nearby. Yes, the lobby can be noisy and parking can be difficult on the weekends. But overall, I felt that it served my purpose of a safe place to sleep, cook, and take a shower. The female dorm had a mini fridge, locker and AC. The lobby also had a communal fridge & kitchen. I highly recommend this hostel. It was very clean.

À LIRE ATTENTIVEMENT ! A tout mes français, économiser de l’argent et louer un logement qui en vaut la peine. si j’avais su j’aurais économiser avant et réserver un hostel tant pis plus cher mais dans lesquels je me serais sentis bien mieux Pour les habitués des hostels, ne vous attendez pas à retrouver l’ambiance et un lieu comme les autres. C’est un lieu qui évite à des américains d’être SDF. Ça pu, c’est mal placé. Un viel s’est mast*rb* dans la chambre devan...

My son and I stayed here for our guys trip to celebrate his birthday/graduation. The area around the hostel is bad. There is a grocery store about a block away. Plus there are plenty of restaurants. Several bus routes run close to the property. The property was very clean and the other guests very friendly. The staff was great.

I booked a private room and did not use common areas, but everything looked and felt clean. Location is amazing, in the heart of koreatown. Parking is available for a fee but it is limited and very tight. If you are not used to parking in big cities and tight spaces or if you drive a typical american SUV behemoth you should park elsewhere. Overall a great, quiet stay.

We chose this hostel because it said on the description that it had a parking available. Turned out that you have to pay 10$ for the night. Moreover it said checkout was at 10am but the host told us last minute that it was in fact at 9. And it wasn’t clean. Don’t recommend this hostel because it misinformed us all along.
