The Rosemary

Hollywood, Los Angeles

Located in Los Angeles and within 2.8 miles of Capitol Records Building, The Rosemary has a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property.

The Rosemary is a turn of the century modernist fever dream. A brothel? A speak-easy? A 1920’s French gentleman’s club? It’s colourful and warm yet the portraits and sculptures have eyes that seem to watch. This is a good thing! The decor is truly an artistic curation that transports you to another time. I loved that the entry was self checkin but that there was a number to text for communication. All the amenities worked and the space was clean and well thought out. All the fixtures, hardware and architectural detail are very high end and well constructed. Someone took a lot of time to focus on form but obviously felt function was equally important. I parked on the side street a block away with no incident. I would definitely go back as it’s a smart, cheap way to stay in LA but it’s also an interesting experience. Loved every bit of it.

I felt very comfortable and safe in the area. it was very walkable to the subway and had no issues getting around. there’s a 7-11 on the corner that was perfect for quick things. the rooms were quiet, other guests also quiet and respectful, everyone kept to themselves which is more my vibe. the bottom bunk looked more comfortable. only problem with being on top is I didn’t have anywhere to charge my devices, but charged in the morning downstairs. nice organized fridge with everyone labeled their stuff was great. had no issues here, first time in a hostel and I’d definitely stay here next time I’m in LA

All hostels in Los Angeles

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I lived in the 4 bed female dormitory, it was comfortable and big. Good for cheap stay in a prime location. Also, they let me store my luggage for free which was great.

    This is by far the best hostel I've ever stayed. It's so clean, friendly and cosy and you can tell the staff take great pride in it. If you're looking for a quiet place in a great location look no further. I'd like to thank Pedro, Bea and all the staff who made my stay so memorable. Everyone was so friendly, cheerful and always willing to help. They made my stay so enjoyable and I can't thank them enough. Already looking forward to my next stay! :-)

    Great location, spacious room and big lockers, spacious bathroom and pretty clean, good breakfast, nice common areas, a lot of activities (I didn't participate but it is a nice option especially when travelling solo). They even provided towels (which is not often the case in hostels). With the reception and the key cards it also felt very safe!
