Worst experience ever. Horrible guests. Loud rock music playing late at night. A woman screaming and cursing and also playing music all night long. The kitchen is a shared space and the refrigerator didn’t look like it had been cleaned in months. Absolutely disgusting. There’s a sign in the kitchen that warns guests that they will be asked to leave if they eat someone else’s food. Someone ate a slice of my pizza, threw away my breakfast sandwich, and opened my wings! Management refused to enforce their own rules and simply told me “some people just are inconsiderate”. Never mind the fact that there’s a camera pointing at the fridge that could’ve shown who ate my food! We lost power one night. They randomly changed the door code and I was locked out at one point. There’s no daily service. You won’t get your linens changed, towels changed, nor the trash emptied in your room. You won’t even receive a wash cloth! The hand soap in the bathroom was filled up with water as opposed to being replaced when it got empty! It’s in a very sketchy area. Two random men came knocking on the door about a lost cellphone. VERY SKETCHY! I don’t recommend anyone stay here!

The hostel itself was great, but there was used eyelashes in the bathroom on the counter, as well as lots of dead bugs inside of the shower itself. Just kind of off putting. The room was great, but the sheets were most definitely NOT cleaned before I got there.

TLDR: Not the worst place in L.A., but I would look elsewhere. Be prepared to circle the blocks surrounding the property for a while. There is VERY limited street parking, and we were ill prepared for how much of a hassle it would be to find parking close to our building. The walls are also extremely thin. There is no staff on site, just cameras and the occasional maintenance person. We also found an empty water bottle in our room upon arrival, but other than that it was pretty clean. There is also no ceiling fan or any way to control air flow in this room, which is disappointing because this is very obviously a newly constructed building. We tried to contact the management through the provided number, but were unsuccessful. The money that you save staying here rather than a big hotel will probably be spent on bringing your own food, so unless you don’t have many other options, I’d opt for somewhere else with guaranteed parking at least.

We really liked the location near the colleseum. We like that it was convient easy and affordable. Honestly I misread "hostel" as hotel, but was really pleasantly surprised when I saw it was a hostel but this nice. Your area is private and comfortable and it's great if you are doing things in the city all day. Great place to lay your head down.

This hostel is very clean and tidy. Probably the cleanest I've seen in my life. Even the kitchen was clean and had everything I needed to cook a simple dinner. The room is cozy with new furniture. Although it says there is no parking, I messaged the front desk and they allowed me to park on the property for a small fee. Seems like they allow it if there is availability.
