- FANTASTIC location, plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes within walking distance - Clean - Easy communication to the hotel - Good price - Friendly staff

Lorraine Australia

Friendly and helpful staff, facilities as expected. Clean and well-kept, other guests were quiet through the night (the hotel claims to have a zero-tolerance attitude to noisy guests). Everything is functional but none the worse for that.

Stephen United Kingdom

Nice vintage hotel in downtown LA Pretty cool historical building Within the small hipster district

Hagen Germany

Staff are really pleasant and helpful, rooms are very clean, comfortable and have lots of room. Great location convenient to Union Station and airport shuttles, also lots of unique restaurants and cafes nearby. Quiet part of town.

Alexander Lithuania

It’s really cheap, but nice and clean. The shared bathroom probably isn’t for everyone, but it’s tidy and not overcrowded. The neighborhood is amazing with tons of cafes & restaurants.

Alexander Germany

pretty good experience, they even upgraded us we arrived from Australia at 730 am , and the staff was kind enough to give us an early checkin which was absolutely god sent.

Sheoran Australia

Location was great for exploring some of the arts district, little tokyo and downtown. Hotel itself is in a safe location but you do need to be careful which direction you walk in. Lots of breweries, bars, restaurants and cafes close by. The hotel is basic and feels like a private-room hostel with shared bathrooms, but it was clean, well maintained and comfortable. Hotel building has a cool history. Staff were nice and the lady at the front desk was very helpful. We would stay again - great value for money in LA.

Birgitta Australia

Clear, quiet, good neighborhood, free water refill, and friendly staff.

Ivan Ukraine

The neighborhood is very cool with everything you need nearby, and central to everything in LA not nearby. Super nice cheap hotel that gives you a clean place to rest your head with no issues.

Magas Canada

the hotel is super central and located in downtown LA, with many amenities and transports close by. even though the restrooms are shared, they were extremely clean and there wasn’t any noise coming from the other guests at night. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Will definitely repeat next time I’m in town!
