Guest Reviews

• Jeanine (9/5): -
• Lark (10/5): Very nice - Nice place Nothing. It's nice
• - (8/5): great location and staff; challenging/nasty roommates - The property is in a convenient spot with easy access to restaurants, shops, and attractions. Common areas were generally well-maintained, the host responded promptly, and the staff were friendly and professional. Unfortunately, the shared room (room 24) had several issues. Many of the roommates were long-term guests who appeared to have little regard for others. They would move their belongings around and open the door loudly, most of the time in the early hours, which disrupted sleep. A number of them were also unhygienic, which made the environment unpleasant. One guest had a very strong body odor that was difficult to deal with, and I was glad I had my inhalers with me. Some of the guests were snobbish and narcissistic as well. I saw a roach crawling on the top bunk (I was in the lower bunk - glad she moved to another bed), which added to the hygiene concerns. Together with the other issues, this made the room feel unsanitary. In addition, the air conditioning in room 24 was turned on only once during my stay, leaving the room stuffy and warm — especially uncomfortable given the odor and cleanliness problems. While the location, amenities, and staff service were strong positives, the shared room experience was disappointing and significantly reduced my comfort. This property would likely suit guests who book private rooms or don’t mind shared accommodations with long-term guests and unpredictable roommates. Travelers sensitive to odors, cleanliness, pests, noise, or personal space may want to look at other options.

• HYE RIM (8/5): - 도미토리 이용하다보니 일반적인 생활소음은 당연히 발생했지만, 숙소 전반적으로 조용한 분위기라 여행을 위한 충분한 휴식을 취할 수 있었습니다! 위치도 코리아타운 중심가와 가까워서 이동할 때 편리했어요! 여행 일정상 늦은 체크인해야 했는데 해당 부분에 대해 호스트가 잘 안내해줘서 숙소에 들어오는데 불편함이 없었습니다! 여자 화장실 샤워부스에 잠금장치가 있으면 더 좋을거 같아요. 장금장치가 없어서인지 샤워부스가 2개 있었으나, 1인이 사용하면서 출입문을 잠궈두는 경우가 발생했어요!

• Ummi Xi (7/5): Hostels shared spaces are best when all guests are sober, considerate and cooperative. - 1)The location and the area is convenient 2) The management staff was quick to respond to my necessary accommodations 3) Clean The staff keeps bathrooms stocked and kitchen were always decent enough to use .....the one thing that I strongly suggest is that they tell the female guest to put away their own personal belongings and toiletries , so other guests can use the cabinet and shelf space in the bathroom without issue. The inhospitable troll/ junkie guests who are anti social and narcissistic. A lot of people in Southern California treat the hostels like they are a public shelter, or public co living house space, showing a lack of boundaries and etiquette. Some women don't need to be booked in shared rooms.. too immature and full of drama. Its difficult to tolerate such a lack of consideration and blatant narcissism from female guests. Someone in my room cut my tennis shoes with something sharp like a razor .. when I mentioned it to James the manager he got very defensive and rude. He dismissed my concern. I will NOT recommend this business. There are current occupants in the shared room, who act emotionally unstable. And any behavior that is inappropriate, or questioned is likely to be dismissed...or accepted as Normal for this environment. In this case, you most certainly get less than what you pay for. The shared room space is not or professionals, mature, or sober travelers. If you are street smart you might survive the experience, but I don't recommend it.

• Jack (6/5): Easy check in process and excellent value. Perfect if you're travelling by Metro. - Location near a Metro stop was amazing. Although it was very easy to miss the hostel while I was walking back through the neighborhood Room smelled a little when there were more guests in there, but idk how much control the hostel management really has over that.

• Jonathan (10/5): - I have stayed in a lot of hostels and this is hands down my favorite. It is incredibly well managed. It's extremely clean. It attracts guests with good vibes. The location is awesome. I highly recommend staying here.
• José (8/5): - Próximo al metro y muy bien conectado. Cocina amplia y completa. Limpieza adecuada para ser un establecimiento con muchos huéspedes. Facilidad del check in y out. Comodidad al tener código de acceso a la habitación y al recinto. Es algo personal, reservé con mucha antelación y especifiqué que quería una cama baja. Me dieron una alta. Y al no haber nadie con quién hablar no pude solucionarlo. Al día siguiente me dijeron que me cambiaban, pero ya no acepté debido al tiempo que se hubiese perdido. Desventajas de hacerlo todo de forma automática y remota. Tampoco me gustó que el lugar fuese más que un hostel al uso, un lugar donde la gente se queda largas estancias. En mi habitación una persona llevaba 2 meses. Y había otras dos que en los días que estuve alojado, siempre permanecieron acostados. Lo que sea a entender que turistas no eran. Nada que reprochar. Cada uno se adapta como puede.

• Ummi Xi (7/5): - 1)Location 2)Peaceful 3)Clean 4)Organized 5) Amenities 6) Quick response to request for accomodation adjustments 1- Encountering Guests in the room who are noisy and lack hostel etiquette. 2- Poor Ventilation in Kitchen ...can smell and food that is cooked on the stove, ( The horrible stinky smell of pork cooking first thing in the morning )🤢. 3- The upstairs ladies bathroom is filled with someone else's personal hygiene products, and dirty towels that are in the bathroom. (There's isn't any room to put things while grooming.. Perhaps each guest should keep their personal hygiene products separate small basket for each room might be better). 4- The kitchen freezer and refrigerator are a little overcrowded, the inside of the storage cabinets are dirty and filled with the belongings of others unlabeled and overcrowded. Perhaps using small baskets with room numbers might organize it better. 5- Top bunk was difficult to get in and out of

• Gloria (5/5): Nightmare - The facility No call or text to let me know they didn't honor my request. I asked for mixed dormitory and they put me in the room with a bunch of smelly females and one window with no AC at night. The bed was so sunk in, it felt like I was sleeping on the floor. I tossed and turned trying to find a good spot and didn't sleep at all.

• Valezia (9/5): Uma boa acomodação. - Uma casa com quartos compartilhados, super limpa, até o banheiro limpo, senha para entrada da casa e dos quartos, Wi-Fi, cozinha equipa, frigobar no quarto, cada cama tem uma extensão com tomada USB inclusa, parada de ônibus próximo, pouco movimento na rua. Travesseiro estava muito surrado, está na hora de trocar, o ar-condicionado poderia ser ligado à noite, pois estava quente.
• Cori (9/5): - Roomy, clean and interesting.Good location w/ food trucks near by along with market and buses around the corner. Additionally, the parking is available for a modest fee being that it’s in a busy hub.

• Bunta (4/5): 2回目はないかな - ロケーションはよかったです。そして、庭も室内も綺麗です。 葉っぱを吸う人がいるので、その人と同じ部屋だとその匂いがする。 ワッツアップでスタッフに連絡しても返信が返ってこない。 一日中ずっと咳払いをしていてうるさい人がいて、よく眠れなかった。
