Guest Reviews

• Tal (8/5): -
• Justin (7/5): -
• Emily (8/5): Nice DTLA Experience for 1 night - Great value, nice location in the middle of the Arts District and close to Little Tokyo. It felt safe and the staff were kind, they let us check in a bit early because our room was available. It's not a fancy hotel but it's clean and safe, good value for the price.
• sami (8/5): -
• Helen (8/5): We extended our stay :) Night clerk was awesome - In a hip and up and coming address Finding it was a bit awkward
• Natsuki (10/5): -

• Gardi (10/5): - La ubicación es excelente , el lugar es muy cómodo ,limpio y la gente que trabaja allí ,fueron muy agradables y amables . Un lugar súper recomendable !!! Volveremos..
• Matthew (6/5): -
• DANIEL (8/5): -
• Adriano (8/5): Good room at a decent price - The room is confortable, and the staff very helpful. Near to the metro station. The baths are shared, but very clean all the time. I arrived late (they don`t have 24/7 people in the check in), but the instructions to get inside were very clear.. I missed a microwave in the common area. It would be very helpful. As well a fridge in the room. Both things help a lot when you are traveling.
• Paul (10/5): Very good. Would stay again if I visit LA. - Very good location. During construction it was a bit hard to walk to, but that should only be temporary. Very comfortable bedding. Bathrooms weren’t in the room. But it was also reflected in the price. It is a good bit cheaper than your typical hotel room, so it’s still very good value for the price.
• francis (10/5): -
• Shahzain (10/5): Excellent, would come back - Everything was nice and clean. Bathrooms weren’t in bad shape. Masuma was nice and helped me get checked in quickly. Wish rooms had a sink inside but it doesn’t really bother me.
• Jeanette (10/5): - The room was huge and we fit perfectly. I don't mind but shared bathrooms. My kids had questions but I love stuff out of the norm.
• Sena (1/5): - Nothing Everything
• JAMES (9/5): Perfect! - For my second time the checkin with Masuma was outstanding. I plan to stay here again. The city of Los Angeles decided to tear up the sidewalk and entrance to the hotel. This was a totally unnecessary inconvenience since the sidewalk was in perfect condition just a few days earlier. BUT the American Hotel will have a brand new sidewalk at the end of May 2026. Enjoy!
• Samuel (10/5): -
• NIKOLAY (9/5): Good variant for favorable price. But not too clean inside - good location, free parking on the street, haven't meet any problem with parking Not too much clean in the room. Old and dirty floor covering carpet. Mens shower without lock
• yuya (8/5): - ・比較的安い ・古いビジネスホテルって感じ。部屋の乾燥がすごい。また工事のせい?エレベーターも動いてなかった。部屋が4階で割と不便だった ・部屋の防音は微妙で、外の工事の音がうるさい。また部屋の横が共用シャワーでとてもうるさい ・宿入口のパスワードは英語のメールで来るので見落とさないように。 ・3階に無料のウォーターサーバー。この情報もメールで来る。 ・部屋に冷蔵庫、ハンガー、ティッシュ、ベッドそばにコンセント、色々揃ってる。電気ケトルはない。 ・トイレ、シャワーは共用。蛇口を限界までひねると水からお湯に変わる。 ・部屋の灯りは暗いめ。トイレや廊下は明るいのに。 ・ユニオン駅からそこそこ遠い。徒歩25分。例えばハリウッドやグリフィス天文台への観光には不便かも。 ・チェックアウト後の預け荷物は無料。夜はフロントが閉まる？ので事前にピックアップの時間を相談しておくのが良い。 ここに泊まってよかったと思う
• Morales Rivera (10/5): - Ubicación y el personal. Que no tienen estaciinamiento.

• Renata (10/5): -
• HIROSHI (7/5): -
• Nikola (10/5): -
• Jose (1/5): - The area. The hotel layout.
• YOKO (8/5): - 周りの環境。 レストランやブリューワリーが近い。 スタッフがとても丁寧で、対応もフランクで、助かった。 チェックイン時、工事のことで音問題があることも丁寧に説明してくれて荷物を運ぶのも手伝ってくれたし、 チェックアウト後、荷物を夕方まで置かせてもらえたし、荷物を取りに行った時、　Masumaさんにとても親切にしてもらえた。 階段なのはわかってたけど、やはり荷物あるとしんどい。
• Minu (3/5): Shared bathroom for the whole floor. Left the place as soon as we saw it. - No office staff. Property too old to be comfortable First time in LA. So not familiar with localities. Downtown location not suitable for family.
• Guadalupe (5/5): -
• JAMES (9/5): Enroute to Santa Barbara. I enjoyed a perfect overnight at the American Hotel. - Room was immaculate. Checkin with Masuma was wonderful. She went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate my needs. Overall, a great expeience staying at the American Hotel. Superb location too. I have no complaints. It was a surprise to me that there wasn't an elevator, but I managed.
• Connie (9/5): - The rooms are wonderful, and the staff, including "Masuma?" accommodating and helpful. Lots to check out close by. Lots of stairs, and no elevator. The price makes the shared bathrooms okay. Did miss having at least a sink in my room, but I knew beforehand. It's still a deal.

• Rodrigo Saravia (8/5): -
• Nijun (9/5): - Masuma is pretty nice, she helped me with so many problems. And when I checked out, a male staff helped me to carry my big luggage. There are so many good food around the hotel
• Shane (7/5): A very good place to stay if you are on a tight budget. Not for a long stay. - Helpful staff Excellent location Value for money
• Maciej (9/5): - locations and price to quality -
• Jesse (9/5): -
• Douglas (8/5): A very clean room in a great location. - The hotel is in a great location. Lots of cafes, restaurants and breweries within walking distance. I brought my bicycle with me and there was plenty of space in the room to store it. The room and hotel is very clean. The refrigerator and quality WiFi were both a bonus. The doors aren't super sound-proofed, so you can hear people coming-and-going (and also a guy deciding that it was a good idea to whistle a tune at 11pm!).
• Jalen (6/5): It was decent - To be able to have privacy I didn't know it was a shared bathroom and my room didn't look the pictures on the internet
• Tomasz (8/5): - czystość mała dostępność recepcji
• Hans (10/5): -
• Nobuyoshi (8/5): よかった - リトルトーキョー駅から徒歩6分で立地よし 15:00時チェックインのところ13:00にアーリーチェックインしていただけた。そのおかげで1時間仮眠できました
• Eric (10/5): Masuma was very helpful when I was checking in and out. -
• DAISUKE (10/5): - スタッフが親切
• Rose M (10/5): I love this hotel and the art. Will definitely stay again. - The minute I saw the artist's touch in the building front, I knew I'd booked my stay at the right hotel. Absolutely beautiful, charming, quaint, extremely clean, and such a friendly staff and community of other hotel guests. I took a big breath when I opened the front door and saw all those steep steps, but turned out, a kind gentleman was behind me and carried my heavy bag up the steps for me. I wanted to carry it all myself - but at 75, am showing my age - and the man looked disappointed not to be able to help me when I first said thanks, but I can do it. The man felt good about doing such a good deed. I had no problems carrying my bags down the next morning.
• DAISUKE (9/5): - スタッフ親切 なし
• Mireya (7/5): -
• Andrea (6/5): Meh - The room size The location
• Ann (7/5): Layover place....LA - Available Difficulties getting up stairs....older woman here.
• Zebene (1/5): Unfit to be a hotel - None The office was closed and no one talk to You don’t call this a hotel It is a bad dorm facility with shared shore and bathroom
• Anthony (9/5): A great, conveniently located, no frills spot for the frugal solo traveler. -
• Anthony (9/5): -
• Yael (9/5): -
• NOBUO (6/5): 色々不便不満はあったが､宿泊代を考えると仕方ないかな。 - 安い。 メトロ駅から近い。 夜､近くの飲食店からの音､酔った人の声がうるさかった。また､夜中3時頃階上から激しい物音がしてきて目が覚めてしまった。2階共用トイレの鍵が壊れていてオチオチ排泄出来なかった。
• Fukushima (9/5): It's not for everyone but I'd stay here every time. - A grand old building located close to Japan Town and a 15 minute walk from Union Station. Rooms are bit spartan but with excellent bed, TV, table w/ 2 chairs, towels, etc. 3rd floor was a bit more quieter than 2nd when I stayed on each floor. The grand old hotel is not for everybody because of 1. no elevator with no rooms on first floor, 2. no in-room sink or toilet or shower but quite adequate versions of them exist for Men only, Women only, and either, on each floor (I presume but never was on the 4th floor).
• Elena (10/5): - Close to Union Station and Little Tokyo
• Nicholas (3/5): My two night experience - Nothing really stood out to me that I really liked unfortunately The people who were booked for the nights I stayed were loud and obnoxious. My door got knocked on multiple times with loud talking and radio sounds blasting in the room next to me. No one at night was there to help keep the noise level down at all. The shared bath spaces are barely taken care of as I keep seeing damages all over the bathrooms and the lights are not that bright. The men's bathroom made it impossible to shower as there was no easy place to keep my clothes near the shower and the door was kept wide open in front of another room. My room had a giant stain on the window cover, the ac had a light that the filter needed to be clean and there was a bug flying around in my room. The bed was tough and the pillows were very cheap to the point where I could barely sleep with them. The lighting also was barely enough to make the room light up. I had to use the bed lamps to even make the room have more light. The place isn't maintained to a good standard and it makes me not want to go back.

• John Larry (9/5): - Buena cama y buenas almohadas El olor de la habitación
• NuWave Dave (8/5): -
• Lisa (8/5): - The room was clean and all that I needed. There was even a fridge and microwave.
• John (8/5): pretty cool for guys, for girls gonna get alot of complaints - cool design like a millennial designed it the bathrooms are shared
• Christian (8/5): -
• Paul Benjamin (5/5): - Great location Rooms, or at least mine smelled like a niga died in there
• Ronald (8/5): -
• Michal (8/5): - Spok pokoje,ale od ulicy głośno. O 6 rano ktoś puszczał muzykę, na tyle głośno że było słychać co za piosenka leci. Cała reszta super. Bezpiecznie. Śmiało można jechać z lotniska autobusem nawet późno wieczorem. Kilka minut pieszo do hotelu . Zapomniałem dodać że podwójne łóżko piętrowe bardzo skrzypiało. Muzyka o 6 rano.
• Usa (8/5): -
• Bin (8/5): 想公共交通出行的 这家酒店是最好的选择 干净卫生有冰箱微波炉 大门有门禁 安全感很高 - 整个酒店非常干净，虽然卫生间是共享的，但很干净，每天有人打扫。地段非常好，出去吃饭，地铁和巴士站都是步行5-10分钟的距离，虽然靠近流浪汉区域，但酒店和酒店在的地方还是很安全的，楼下有便利店，路边有喝咖啡和吃饭的人。房间里有冰箱，干净且方便，微波炉可以用员工的或去楼下便利店用。
• Pelin (9/5): -
• Andrey (6/5): -
• John (5/5): - Clean Price vs share bathrooms. Didn’t notice in the ad. If I did see it wouldn’t have booked too expensive
• Eiji (7/5): - マスマと男の人が優しかった
• Fukushima (10/5): I changed a subsequent commitment to this one after my experience but it's not for everyone. - Cleanliness, the number of bathrooms/toilets, location, ... I had no problems with my room on 3rd floor -- in fact I liked the location a lot -- but there will be people who will not be able to manage the narrow stairs, a deal-breaker for many. I was traveling with a backpack and not hand carrying anything. The location will also be a problem for some folks, by a busy street that comes alive at night, especially on weekends, with street vendors and lots of folks wandering. I would not give a score of 10 (maybe a 7) but this is done by the software based on the boxes I checked.

• Dermot (9/5): Great experience and our check-in staff Masuma was very accommodating and a pleasure to speak to. - Great location and very clean Nothing
• EIRI (7/5): -
• ara3 (8/5): - La ubicación es excelente, esta cerca del metro, de lugares para comer y de Little Tokyo y punto extra por el café Alfred justo abajo del hotel. El personal fue muy amable como siempre. Honestamente el hotel ya necesita una remodelacion en general. Son varias veces que me hospedó aqui desde hace mas de 10 años pero en esta ocasión se notaron algo deteriorados los muebles y la limpieza un poco deficiente. Pero a pesar de eso el precio y la ubicación son lo mejor.
• Wendy (10/5): Good budget accommodation - Very clean and friendly budget lodging, within walking distance of downtown. There’s a lot of restaurants and a pleasant coffee shop nearby. Staff was exceptional. Nothing
• Altenbaumer (10/5): Great place for a great price. - The vintage feel of the hotel was great. The room was awesome, and there were a lot of things to do close by. The food trucks around the neighborhood were outstanding.
• Dang Truc (9/5): -
• abbubakar (10/5): Masuma was an amazing member staff helpful and thoughtful definitely would recommend my friends to stay here - Everything
