Great stay in downtown LA! I stayed at this hostel in downtown Los Angeles and really enjoyed it. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city with a good supermarket nearby. There were great facilities, including a kitchen for cooking, a small gym, and even a rooftop pool with an amazing view! The beds were comfortable, and I appreciated the large lockers where I could store all my belongings securely. While it’s a bit far from popular spots like Venice Beach and the Walk of Fame, the hostel is well connected by metro and bus, especially to Union Station. The staff were super friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, a great experience and definitely a place I would recommend!

Well centered and beautiful location. Rooftop pool is better suited for lounging, but the adjacent bar did not miss. They had nice music acts in the lobby. I loved the room and proximity to dtla and fashion district. Definitely will stay again. Stayed while attending the Grammy's.

The hotel has a choice of bunk beds in the shared room with others (maximum 8 people) and private rooms. It couldn't be more convenient when it's close to the metro station. Only 10 minutes drive from Union Station. The receptionist is extremely nice and helpful. In the lobby, there is a very cute coffee shop and a souvenir shop
