Guest Reviews
- Daracia (10/5): - I love the place nice and quite, clean and peaceful
- Rosalie (2/5): - They did refund in cash
- Michael (2/5): - $60 vallet parking!!! Rediculos
- Shekinah (8/5): - I stayed for two days. I was initially very baffled because I didn't receive any prior instructions via email or text about specific details when it came to check in. No one from the staff opened the gate when I rang the doorbell. I had to get a guest to open it for me. There was no signs outside of the house to indicate where the lobby or check in desk was and I thought the door had a passcode the whole time, so I was waiting for an email or a response for my messages sent via Expedia chat but got nothing. The check-in process was very lengthy and not very organized. besides the check in process, everything else was great. The beds were sturdy and not squeaky, mattress was comfortable, the common spaces were not bad and they had a canopy for shade which I appreciated. The balcony and the fact that there was a washroom within the room for the womens only rooms I also liked. Also the washrooms downstairs were private and individual which is a plus. The lockers are extremely small, there was also no signs indicating the luggage went in the other room for the womens only rooms but there was enough space for the amount of people staying in the room anyway. Suggestion: please indicate a lights out policy or quiet hours so people know when to be considerate.
- Enkhtungalag (10/5): - very clean
- logan (10/5): - Staff was very helpful.
- logan (10/5): - Nice and close to shops
- Jazzman (2/5): - Just go somewhere esle even though it is very chesp find another place this rumi hostel is not right everyone is rude and they barely spesk engish
- Lori (4/5): - The business was a great idea, but vetting personalies and the expectations that adults should act accordingly and understand that some people are in need of walkung around, going to the bathroom and changing their clothes to leave at any given time is a part of grown up life. It would help avoid childesh
- Kalena (8/5): - I had a good stay but there was no real breakfast. Just bread and peanut butter and nutella both days. One guy ate the entire thing of strawberries and made himself 4 sandwiches leaving no bread for the rest of us….rooms are cozy and private and the balcony was amazing for fresh air.
- Adriana (10/5): - Place is amazing, clean and close to wonderful places and train transportation
- Kris (2/5): - Your staff is either spying on me, while I'm in bed or allowing others on the property too. I'm sure you have cameras that can verify this. I'm very uncomfortable and feel unsafe. This is beyond words
- Kim (6/5): - In general I love the Rumi. The location is excellent if you need access to public transportation, dining/grocery options, and K-town. One thing to be aware of - the hostel did not have front desk staff before 11:00 AM. If there was available staff, I did not see a method to contact them. If they were there - there was no way to know who they were. This is highly inconvenient in cases where you have questions, or need help. My recommendation is that during check-in, ask all of the questions you have at that time OR make sure to talk to staff when you see them which is generally after 11:00 AM.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Hostel - 6/10 - The breakfast was simple but there were flies around the kitchen. Went inside the bedroom and fruit flies were hovering over my bottom bunk bed because the trash next to me was full! Bathroom were OK clean. The bathrooms need more hanging hooks or even a little mini table to put toiletries on there and hang towels (if need to). Most hostels I’ve stayed were pretty up kept but this one was probably a 6/10 - I don’t think I would recommend that it!
- Nyah Danae (10/5): - i came here on a trip by myself and felt very comfortable walking around the area alone!
- Ajah (10/5): - Great vibes. Will book again:)
- Ryan (10/5): - Quiet, clean, great price
- Ryan (10/5): - Well rested for a low price. Clean and close to the bus lines
- BOY BOY (2/5): - Still haven’t got my deposit
- Yixiang (6/5): - overall acceptable, with the price you can't expect much.
- Wayne (2/5): - After I booked The Rumi Hostel I was notified in a email that they only accept international travelers, and they’re refusing to return my money. I informed them via email that I was a Disabled Veteran with vision impairment and did not see any disclaimer of them only welcoming international guests. But the email has went unanswered and even Expedia representatives also attempted to get The Rumi Hostel to refund my money with no success.
- Allen (8/5): - It was okay
- Adam (10/5): - Unreal
- Nathaniel (6/5): - It was a open environment, almost like living in someones home.
- Wael (10/5): - Great place
- Nadeep (10/5): - Comfortable bed great location
- Shanna (6/5): - A lot and I do mean a lot of rules. Very uptight. Felt more strict than a college dorm. Had to purchase your own towels. Rules should be upfront.
- Sang (6/5): - Great Location, great place but no water fountain and staff wasnt that friendly
- Mariah (6/5): - When I stayed the staff partied and played loud music in an outside shed, a couple of my roommates were also complaining, they also didn’t have bath Mats and rented out towels for basp
- Tom (4/5): - They use IHA residency rules so you shouldn’t be American. Fine for a bed & a little more than shelter & toilet. Wouldn’t recommend for more than barebones needs. You get what you pay for!
- Kim (8/5): - Rumi is perfect for a short quick K-town stay.
- Wen (10/5): - Homey, safe, enjoyable
- Liam (10/5): - Everything Was Amazing From the Room to the Room mates respectfulness of ur individual property .. the Staff very Welcoming and aprroachable . The over atmosphere of the Rumi Is 10/10 U get exactly what y see with this hostel
- Nhu-Y (6/5): - .
- Gregory (10/5): Excellent experience. - The Rumi is exactly what it says it is. A hostel for travelers. I slept well and the property was well located and comfortable.
- Marsha (10/5): Quiet oasis - Nice, quiet, staff was excellent. I lost my keys they opened my locker and held my belongings till they were picked up.
- Haniya (10/5): - I stayed at the Rumi Hostel for two nights and I loved the atmosphere and how comfortable the bedroom and living room were, as well as the convenience of the complimentary breakfast. It was great value and worth the stay. The metro stop was also close by as well as good visiting sites. I would definitely like to come back here again whenever I visit LA next time!
- Jackson (10/5): - It's a small facility, but it's a perfect spot for traveling solo, I stayed to attend a concert nearby. There are a lot of plants in the outdoor area which makes it feel like an oasis in contrast to the usual LA smog. Kitchen is well equipped, quite clean, overall a great value. Highly recommended.
- Kim (8/5): - I've known about the Rumi for years but this was my first time staying. I'm glad I did. You can't beat the location if you need something in central Los Angeles or Koreatown. The facilities and property was clean and quirky. Easy access to public transportation/metro. Would definitely stay again.
- THEODORE (8/5): - Good
- Shawn (10/5): Very Nice Hostel. - Very nice hostel. Nice people here.
- Denis (8/5): - Honestly it’s great if you’re stopping by and quick in and out. The bathrooms are a bit aged and so is the property but it gets the job done. I thought the breakfasts were going to be premade but you have to make them yourself. No real issues the staff were super friendly and nice! I would definitely come back again if I need to be in the area
- Tom (6/5): - Convient for sure except staff communication needs some improvement
- Michaelscotthill (10/5): Clean, well managed, great location, good price. - This was an affordable, clean, conveniently located, well run hostel. The volunteers are helpful, all the rules are well laid out. Bring your own lock, basic hygiene products, snacks. I stayed for five nights in mid-January 2025 and had an amazing time! Fully ecommend.
- Saulo (10/5): - .
- Gilbert (10/5): - Satisfied.
- Phyo Ko (8/5): - 4 star
- Tomaz (10/5): Nice jobs with the rooms - I really enjoyed it. I stayed here before 5 years ago and they redid the rooms. Feels wayyy better now. Cleaner and more satisfying. Ill be staying here again soon.
- Asia (10/5): - Felt like a family! The rooms were always cleaned and the service was excellent
- lovelya747 (8/5): Will return! Best hostel in Los angeles - First time ever thought about doing a hostel- the environment is very good! The workers make it feel like home. The bed was freshly made. You are with other people in the same room. So be aware of your belongings! Other than this hostel is one of the best ones ever! Especially in town only thing is- no laundry unit!
- Heather (8/5): - As far as hostels go, it is very clean, safe, quiet, friendly staff, very affordable. Has a kitchen & light breakfast. Within a few blocks of the subway at Wilshire/Western. As well as several bus routes. 2 blocks from a Ralph's grocery store. Plenty of Asian restaurants & a McDonalds within walking distance. Within walking distance of a transit bus to Santa Monica Pier. One block from a transit bus up to Hollywod Blvd & Western. Hostel is conveniently located for getting to many places. It also has a gate locked at night with a code used to get back in. Only negative. Would be nice if it had laundry facilities like some other hostels I've stayed at do
- Sara (4/5): - In an area full of locals, no oven in the home, & a few items went missing.
- Rodrigo (10/5): - Close to metro and staff was friendly
- Linda (10/5): - Felt safe and welcome. Friendly staff. Lovely outside seating area and balcony. Room girls only private bunk with curtain and light and phone charger wifi. Very convenient for subway connection . Bathroom nice shower not very warm.
- Sharieka (2/5): - The staff is the most unhelpful, rude, and dishonest group of people I’ve ever met. The people staying there are worse. You’re not allowed to flush toilet paper so the bathrooms are disgusting. They charge for every little things including dirty dishes and towels. They don’t follow the rules they’ve set in place but demand guest follow them strictly. I was woken up by the most rude staff in the middle of the night to take a banana I mistakenly brought into the room. Someone stole it and every additional one I purchased. Upon arrival the same rude staff member told me due to a glitch they would be putting me I a male/mixed dorm although my reservation specifically said “Female”. I was made to stay in the same room as her and moved the next night, only to have a man put in the new room 3 days later. I was told this man only presented as such but “her” passport says she is a woman. I know what a man looks like and after receiving a text about a possible “trespasser” the man was moved and another woman had taken their bed. I returned to the hostel to checkout earlier due the unsafe conditions and lies/mistreatment from staff only to find that the manager would not be refunding me for the days I didn’t stay there. Save your money and find somewhere else to stay at all costs. The worst place I have ever been to.
- Alexander (2/5): do not stay here - worst place i ever payed for to stay
- Chloe (4/5): - Not the best place
- Rodrigo (10/5): - Really quite and close to some good food spots
- Felice (8/5): - Great place to stay for a quick trip if you’re on a budget.
- Roger (10/5): - It’s an easy and quiet place to stay, sleep, take a shower and more. Close to transportation and many businesses.
- Monica (6/5): Hostile want traveling folks from other countries - One thing that hotels.com does not tell you is that with a hostel they want you to be traveling and they want you to present your airplane ticket or bus ticket. I needed but cheap room in LA for one night so I went ahead and went in and I showed them my bus ticket. But my ID was from California. She said I'll let you pass tonight but you can't stay more than one night. So that is not listed in hotels.com.
- Reyhaneh (8/5): - I had a great stay at the hostel—friendly staff, clean rooms, and a vibrant atmosphere. However, my last day was spoiled by an unfortunate incident. When I went to check out, someone took my mug and tea maker from my room within minutes. Disappointingly, the hostel staff didn't take responsibility. Aside from this, it was a good experience
- Verified traveler (2/5): A place to stay if desperate - It’s a hostel, so you can’t expect much, but even with that it failed expectations. The $20 deposit you will probably never get back. Toilet paper goes in the trash cans not in the toilet so good luck with that smell. Looks like there’s no professional work done on the property in who knows how many years. The “complimentary breakfast” is really just peanut butter and jelly you make yourself hoping no one double dipped. The bathrooms have no towels and there aren’t enough bathrooms for how many guests are staying there. The lockers are put in between a wall so you have to have a very small lock to fit and only a small bag or two that will fit in the locker. The beds are uncomfortable and small. I’m not one to have bad allergies but I got hives from the bedding. If you don’t have much stuff, and just want a place to sleep and looking for the cheapest place available then this is the place for you. Otherwise I would look elsewhere. To me it was not worth the cheap rate.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing location and stay, 10 minute walk from the D line. Staff went above and beyond to correct a mistake I made by selecting the wrong dorm and were able to get me a room regardless. Room was clean, beds were clean and the place was secure. Very much so recommend staying here 10/10.
- Maulik (8/5): - Good🤗
- simarpal (2/5): - Room was smelling very musty and we had to shorten our stay because it felt unsafe I was gagging in the room.
- Jhoan (8/5): - I like the style. And I totally support their originality. I came from SF for a concert in LA and I didn’t want to mind a lot of fees in a regular hotel. And this place sufficed the purpose. You’ll find a lot of travelers and backpackers. Chill people - haven’t met anybody disrespectful. However, you need to understand people have different cultures. That being said, everyone was nice specially Irene (or I guess that was her name?) the nice blond lady from the evening shift. Thanks Rumi Hostel! I enjoyed my short but nice trip in LA!
- Sam (10/5): - A wonderful property with safe vibes
- Todd (10/5): - Great staff and clean property
- Maquita (10/5): - I really loved my stay at the Rumi Hostel. I met nice people and felt safe during my entire stay. The bed hurt my back, I believe it may not have been firm enough. Other than that, it really was a beautiful stay. I’d like to come back some day soon.
- Jordan (8/5): - Humble
- Shandrea (10/5): - Great experience
- Adriana (10/5): - The experience was great.
- Edgar (10/5): - Clean place
- Pawan (8/5): - Satisfied
- Grace (6/5): Place to stay overnight while being out and about - Arrived at least an hour early but checked in late as room not ready as per check in time. Able to use dining area, wifi and shower/bathroom prior to check in and leave bags nearby. Location was good to catch public transport and not too far to visit tourist attractions. Ensure you leave enough time to travel and mostly during day light hours.
- Grace (6/5): Place to stay overnight while being out and about - Arrived at least an hour early but checked in late (~20 minutes) as room not ready as per check in time.

Ensure you leave enough time to travel and mostly during day light hours.
- O1649IFjoshuab (10/5): Best solo light-pack stay in LA - The rooms and halls are clea. Friendly and understanding staff. Clearly laid out rules and guidelines that considers everyone. VERY accessible by bus (stop at the corner) or train (a few blocks from the Wilshire/Western Metro Rail station. Great location for cheap food via nearby markets .
- Jaqueline de Aragão (10/5): - Nice
- Tony (10/5): - Washroom availability was difficult at times
- Q5252MXvitorl (10/5): Great - Market (Ralphs) and pharmacy (CVS) a few minutes walk away. Subway nearby too. The hostel offers breakfast, but even though it's simple, I liked it. They could maybe add something else. There are several bathrooms on the first floor, and they're pretty clean, even though they're used by a lot of guests. I recommend it.
- B621HLisabellac (10/5): comfortable and clean - What I liked most was the well-equipped kitchen. I love to cook, and I was able to make my meals the way I wanted. They serve breakfast too, although it's simple, it's good. I stayed in a mixed room with my girlfriend and it was very comfortable. There's a market nearby and several bus options. The hostel staff are good too. I'd recommend!
- IhagoMp3 (10/5): 😍😍 - The hostel maintains a friendly and respectful atmosphere. The kitchen is well-maintained, and volunteers are helpful. Proximity to the subway made exploring Los Angeles pretty easy. If I revisit LA, I’d come back to The Rumi. the beds are confortable too
- E2455OXgiovannam (10/5): Clean - The place is clean and organized, the staff explain the rules well and everyone respects each other. There's a piano in the living room, so I was able to play a bit. There's also space to work on the computer. I stayed in a room with 8 beds, but I still had no problems. It was a pleasant stay and I would probably go back.
- let_ciap584 (10/5): Very good - It was very good value for money. There are lots of shops near the hostel and plenty of public transport too. The showers are very good. The female rooms have their own bathroom and everything is very clean. There was one guest who tried to make a fuss, but the staff quickly resolved the situation. They serve breakfast and even tea. The place is nice.
- 678eduardat (10/5): The hostel is very nice! - The hostel is very nice, people respect each other's space (sometimes even too much) and the dishes are always clean. The volunteers are friendly and helpful with our questions. There's a subway near the hostel, and it takes around 30 to 40 minutes to get to Hollywood, but it's easy to get there. If I go back to Los Angeles I'll probably stay at the same hostel
- 924lorranel (10/5): Good - The hostel is well located, close to markets, pharmacies and public transport. Koreatown has many good bars and restaurants, so you can enjoy the place even if you stay in the same neighborhood. The rooms have a password to get in, so I felt very safe. There could have been a 24-hour security guard on the property, however. But the street is still quiet. I stayed in a room with 4 beds and found it very comfortable. The bathrooms are cleaned every day.
- Jair (4/5): - The employees kept calling me an idiot and kept trying to "dominate" me. I'm not sure why they kept following me around but it seems like they were trying to entice me to fight them, in order to get me arrested.
- Paityn (10/5): - it was nice!
- ANDREY (10/5): - i came after 10 pm when check-in was closed. but staff did their best to help me. they also asked me proof of travel. breakfast surprised me - nutella, peanaut butter and bread. also coffee and creamer. didn't really expect to have it for the small price paid. wish towel was for free tho (rent is 2$ cash).
- Paola (8/5): - Friendly place to stay one or some nights if you are visiting LA. Rate was good and the reservation was easy. I would recommend it.
- CELENDONIA MYRNA (10/5): - Staff is very responsive and friendly. Opens your mind to the world with transient occupants coming from different parts of the world and share experiences & travel hacks. Practical accommodation if your day is busy traveling around doing touristy stuff! Will definitely recommend to friends!
- Tommie (6/5): - It was close to were I was going.
- Murat (2/5): Terrible AC noise next to bed plus bugs - So I got comfortable room but my bed right next to AC , it was so much noise , then got bite from bug 🐞 and they did not respond my messages for refunds or changing room so I checked in 9pm and I checkout 1.30 am I couldn’t sleep , I spent the night in my car
- Lucia (10/5): A pleasant surprise - The best Cali vibes. People playing guitar in the front yard and piano in the living room, chilling on the couch, sharing stories. A little crowded, but very laid-back, the best place if you want to get the sense of youth in LA, learn about Tunisian, Indian and Russian food in one kitchen and exchange travel experiences… I will be back!
- Chanutaporn (6/5): - Nice for the price just make sure you bring your slippers earplugs and sleep eye mask so when they turn on the light or they snore at night you should not annoyed them. Please be polite for your roommate, and the slippers is for the restroom. The bed is comfy for sleep. Convenient area.
- Hyn (10/5): - 非常好
- Bryan (4/5): - Suitcases must be kept in a commons area and I had a carryon stolen or mistaken, but was never returned to me. The manager gave me a replacement piece, but the contents of used tickets and other merchandise were inside. I was really disappointed. But the price cannot be beat and I will likely stay there again because of its central location to everything. Russian is the main language spoken here but several speak good English. Be sure to ask for a towel at night since the front desk will not open until 11:00am. Good luck.
- Natalie (6/5): - Our stay at the Rumi was okay. When we checked in, we saw that we were sharing with males in our room. I made sure to book a females only room and when I checked online, it said females only shared room. I was upset when they told us that we booked a room shared with males, but one of the employees (I think he was) offered us a private room, but smaller. I was so grateful for this kind gesture and for helping us. Throughout our stay, our bed was suuuuper creaky. I think they need to do some maintenance and check things that needs to be properly repaired and fixed. In terms of cleanliness, it was pretty awful. There was hair everywhere! Suspicious brown specs and smudges all over doors and walls in the bathroom. One of the shower stalls reeked of pee. I have seen people cleaning everyday, but I don't think they do a good job. Overall, price was very cheap, decent location, helpful staff, but cleanliness and maintenance needs to be improved.
- Nicole (2/5): - Toilet never worked. And i mean never. Shower water was always cold. VERY loud guests AFTER the quiet hours. Very dirty. Thwy overbooked our room and we had 9 girls. People ate in our room. Hair all over the bathroom No one cleaned up. I complained several times to the long haired guy and he kept telling me things would get better and they didnt
