Guest Reviews

• Victor (8/5): -
• Aarav (5/5): -
• Luis (4/5): Inundado y con olor a excremento de gato - La ubicación y la posibilidad de estacionar el vehículo sin costo. Primero había un olor a excremento de gato por todo el departamento que atravesaba desde el primero al tercer piso eso era demasiado fuerte el olor, este olor atravesaba la cocina y era imposible comer ahí. Cabe destacar que el gato era del primer piso del propietario del primer piso Segundo el techo estaba abierto por lo cual justo nos tocó mucha lluvia y se inundó todo el tercer piso incluso entrando el agua a nuestra pieza el agua caía por las escaleras hacia la cocina y el primer piso el dueño nunca hizo nada
• Rene (10/5): Quiet!!!! - Quiet clean N/A
• Jane (1/5): SCAM: Property Cancelled due to Pest Control Then Charged Me Anyway - A week before our stay the property emails us saying they are having pest control on the dates of our stay and will cancel our booking. On the day of our supposed stay date, property asked us to check in online. I immediately asked them to confirm that they have cancelled my stay and process my refund. They confirmed that they have processed the refund. But I was still charged on my credit card, did not reply when I reached out, and also rejected my credit card dispute.

• Lorena (1/5): DESAGRADABLE - Nada bueno para destacar Feo ambiente, gente muy desagradable, se vendia droga pasillos y el olor a marihuana no te dejaba respirar, chicas desnudas se paseaban por el patio, etc...no es para familias ni viajeros solitarios Estuve esperando 1 hora eb la puerta qye la llave habrá y nunca lo hizo tuve que rentar otro hotel ya puse fotos que certifican todo antes
• Christopher (9/5): Really chill homey vibe - Very clean and private No TV in the room
• Ladarius (1/5): Very uncomfortable stay , if I didn’t have only one night booked I would have chose another listing . Bed area and bathr - Dirty bed area , dirty restroom
• Lorena (1/5): DEPLORABLE - Nada Nunca pude entrar me tuvieron 1 hora en la puerta, la cerradura estaba rota y nunca pudieron abrir la puerta despues de probar muchísimas llaves, tuve wye rentar otro hotel Aparte se ve que allí vive fijo mucha gente rara, se paseaban con poca ropa, bailaban con la puerta de l habitación abierta , etc Todo bastante deplorable, no es un lugar para hospedarse.Booking debería inspeccionar mejor antes de ofrecer este tipo de lugares donde las fotos son lindas pero luego el ambiente y el trato son de lo peor , ni hablar el personal que ni siquiera ofreció una disculpa

• Natalia (5/5): -
• Katrina (10/5): - I didnt like it at first cause It was bunk beds but it was cool I ment to book privet room but I got it when rebooked. I liked the kitchen it had everthing I needed to cook this is a convenient location in Hollywood and its nice im going to definitely stay again I recommend this place to anyone who like s a morden Hollywood vibe I think this is best for a long term stay.
• Katrina (10/5): - This place is in a nice location.It's quiet and it's clean and it's a good price.The washer free
• Mikhail (10/5): -
• Katrina (8/5): - It's okay standard Hard to find a employee around here. But nice and quiet did a little cleaning. Wasn't that bad good value.
• Yuliia (5/5): - well built place but now definitely need renovation - Location Price Check in late night - dirty in room, out the room - we rented private room (the door to the restroom outside of the room) - a lot of codes were sent to me - it’s confusing - I got a message - if I live 10 starts review I’ll get 15% off next visit - The smell from the cat litter box spreads throughout the whole house
• Ana Milagros (7/5): -
• Roberto Rix (8/5): - Very smooth check-in. The private room was fairly basic but decent enough for a no-frills stay. Brand new bathroom. The lighting in the room gives off clinic vibes. The area can get a bit dodgy after dark, but that would be the same in other parts of L.A.
• LaKisha (9/5): Pleasant, peaceful and convenient - The kitchen amenities able to store and cook food. The through cleaning of the bathroom in Girls Dorm I had my food and Eweron bottles mistakenly discarded
• Edwin (1/5): 👎👎👎👎 - They have kitchen to make your own food ! Good point but they need more kitchen equipment The room was in a poor condition , as they didn’t clean the day before , so they gave us another room after that but 65% clean , a lot hair on the floor, bed and shower, sink etc ,they didn’t have a good customers service as they never try to fix our problems there, also check out 11 am but if you have a big fligh you have to book another place or pay extra day to keep you luggage safe before your flight not keep luggage service there , they just care about the money not about the customer experience, if you can increase your budget to book a better hotel go for it otherwise you will regret if you stay in Normandie Hostel !! Good luck everyone!!
• Jamal (10/5): -
• Robert (9/5): - They are clean, secure I would recommend this hostel to anyone they have suites that are exceptional and a reasonable price
• Lāsma (5/5): We will not return there - The view was nice. Staff responded to messages promptly. Once we arrived and proceeded with the self check-in, we realized that the room was occupied by other people who were rude to us and screamed at us. Staff was not aware of that, although there were cameras. But staff gave us other room quite promptly. The facility had a huge whole in the roof. The public space of the property smelled like cat urine. There was balcony but no smoking allowed. Bed was quite small. Noisy, bad sound isolation, singing neighbours, smoking *eed every night at the terrace. No cleaning during our stay but we did ask for fresh towels and extra toilet paper - that was provided upon request.

• Rudy (10/5): -
• The Dolce Juice (1/5): - Is not ac plus nobody respect rules So a old man wanted to sleep with a window open when was freezing phone calls on the room really noisy nobody respect rules
• Mario (10/5): would return - Quiet townhouse; central LA location shower water takes a min to warm up; difficult parking neighborhood
• LaKisha (10/5): -
• Travell (10/5): -
• Jamal (10/5): -
• Jessica (1/5): Filthy - Balcony Prostitutes coming in and out of shared unit Found syringe when I moved the nightstand Filthy, not cleaned Hair everywhere No hand soap Rust in shower
• Elizaveta (4/5): We just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. - The bath was good and clean, but not in the same room as bed, so you have to go out to the common kitchen to come to the bathroom There was a very unpleasant smell in the kitchen, and it permeated the room. The pillowcases were dirty, as if they had not been changed after the previous guests.
• Landero Reyes (5/5): bien pero podría estar mejor - es una zona muy tranquila, el departamento cuenta con una cocina muy amplia. desde la entrada al departamento tiene un olor desagradable, no habian utensilios disponibles, todos estaban en la lavadora sucios oliendo horrible, el circuito de cámaras por todo el departamento es un poco incomodo, renté la suite y en la descripción se leia o entendía que el baño estaba dentro del cuarto sin embargo estaba fuera de el, poner contraseña todo el tiempo para entrar al cuarto o al baño tambien no es muy práctico. en la descripcion decia que era una cama amplia (queen o quing size) y en realidadsolo era una cama matrimonial con un buró, mejor hubiera pagado la renta de un cuarto normal y no el precio de suite, que de suite no tenía nada.
• Mio (10/5): excellent - Great value for money! The private room was super clean and much cheaper than other places. Location was perfect with buses, subway, and supermarkets all nearby. For such a low price, the facilities were well-equipped—I was really happy with my stay!
• Ceceilia (2/5): - It stunk, the fridge was dirty. The rooms had a bad smell. I had someone who walk around in period panties it was awful
• Manuel Lucas (10/5): - Never stayed at a hostel before. The Normandie hostel is new, clean and the beds are great with so much privacy. Plus they’re virtual check in is a breeze with fast responses.
• Raeesa (10/5): -
• Eva (3/5): Pas top - La saleté, l’alarme incendie qui sonne en pleine nuit et personne pour nous aider.
• Marilyn (8/5): Just what we needed while visiting family nearby - thank you! - Loved being able to open the balcony door for air, quiet house and traffic noise not bad, quick replies from staff each time I had a question. A face cloth would be an added bonus. Smell of cat pee on entrance was quite strong. WiFi password was incorrect but staff provided correct one as soon as I asked.
• Patricia (3/5): Nein Danke! - Die Steckdosen und Lampe am Bett Schöne große Küche Kein Personal vor Ort, alles läuft über Codes, die nicht automatisch kommen, sondern man per Email anfragen musste, sowohl für den Zugang als auch für das Wlan. Es war sehr dreckig und auch über die zwei Tage wurde nicht sauber gemacht. Z.B. lagen Nussschalen noch vom Vorgast am Bett Ablagefach. Das Waschbecken war dreckig und wurde ebenfalls in der Zeit nicht gesäubert. Keine Gepäckaufbewahrung. "Schließfächer" im Raum konnten nicht abgeschlossen werden.

• RYUGO (10/5): ありがとうございました！ - バス停が近くにある所と歩いて20分で地下鉄もあるし、バスもサンタモニカ直行きのバス停もあるので色々な所に行くのにとても便利です。歩くのが好きな方は歩いてHollywood、メルローズ、グリフィス、ラニオンキャニオンも歩いて行けます。 家付近に歩いて10分ほどに２４時間開いてるランドリーもあります。昼、夜、夜中に利用したのですが、綺麗で治安がいいです。 近くに2軒あるんですが、24時間の方がおすすめです。 この値段だったらとてもいい！
• Trevor (1/5): Terribly racist - The environment around certain people not including staff or management. The manager is a racist and doesn't clean or do anything at all for that matter he is absolutely terrible at customer service the worst to be exact. The staff their attitudes they were rude and shrugged off my concerns they were racist they were hateful they should be fired and ashamed of their demeanor because it was atrocious. I can not believe these people were even employed they should fire them and find other people to run it.
• Raymond (7/5): Good -
• Roadi_e_mack (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lance (10/5): - Great stay. Clean. Peaceful. Safe.
• Ryelee (2/5): Please read before booking - First, I wasn’t checked in until 8 PM. Then when I did check in the room that was assigned to me had somebody in. This was my first hostel stay so I wasn’t certain what to expect. But being a female, why would they feel comfortable with putting me in the room with three other. I didn’t get reassigned until almost 12:00 AM just to end up get bitten up by bed bugs. This was the most horrendous experience? Definitely not recommend

• Jeremy (10/5): - It was ok but it was just loud
• Trina (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice property Everything was great I felt very safe.
• Brandon (7/5): Good -
• Dora (6/5): - The building itself looks great and new. The common area (the kitchen) was just like on the photos- new, clean and spacious. However, the room I was in was clearly not maintained well as well as not being properly cleaned and inspected. Starting from the lockers which are located behind sliding mirrored doors which are falling apart and, quite frankly, I wouldnt be surprised if they fall off the hinges one day (hopefully not on a guest). The bed bunk i was allocated to was not properly cleaned as there was someone's used water bottle, dirty make up pad, and some seeds right between the wall and the matress. Also, on top part of the bunk (you could call it a ceiling) there were massive stains on them as if there was some kind of liquid spilled on the bunk bed above. All in all this would be an amazing hostel if they made an effort to fix it and maintain it.
• Brandon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Morales (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): - My home away from home. Such an awesome community
• Ana (10/5): - The place is great and feels safe. I am a female solo traveling and my time of arrival was close to midnight so I'm glad there is plenty of lighting. I also contacted the property management for entry and was immediately replied to. The only downside is the smell of weed and sweat. Everything else is great.
• Antonielly (1/5): Could’ve been better if they didn’t make an excuse to get me out after I realized I was drugged and abused… also by the - Clean and quiet Staff was rude. They text me stating I did drugs on the property and they seen me thru cameras but were never able to prove it. I think they just wanted me to leave since they allowed somebody to talk them into breaking in my room for money and assaulting me. I have made reports.

• Off1cer (10/5): Exceptional - Good service
• Caballero (6/5): Pleasant -
• Mike (10/5): Exceptional -
• Justice (6/5): Pleasant - Delia was very helpful Back end staff can be a little unhelpful
• Ernestine (8/5): - One of the better hostels in LA. Prompt response from host. Easy check-in as long as you upload ID. Mostly clean expect the fl of female dorm bathroom. Only one bathroom for female dorm. Nice, well-stocked kitchen w/several pots, utensils etc. Only an uncomfortable bench available for indoor seating. Can't sit on the patio chairs in the back b/c of discarded cigarettes all over the ground & guests throw things from patio. Mostly long-term residents there. Wifi not the best.
• Dermot (8/5): Very good - more kitchen equipment needed
• Fabio (10/5): My stay was quaint, clean and comfortable . - The location is right in Hollywood close to bus stops, metro and freeway. I like the building is brand new , and very clean. There weren’t anything I didn’t like it . I only have good things to say about this place
