Guest Reviews

• Georgia (2/5): - If i could leave 0 stars I would. Firstly, since i was going to be arriving after midnight i reached out to the property to inform, nobody responded for the month leading to my arrival. A few days before i called to again ask for information regarding a later arrival time - no answer. Day of my flight and arrival to LA i get a message stating “i have to relocate guest tonight having a power problem” , followed by “you have to call Expedia they will handle” when it was past 7pm and my flight was in an hour.. After haphazardly finding a place to stay with no notice, i then call Expedia to get a refund on my stay , where they say they cannot reach the merchant because they won’t answer. Then to get an notice stating that the merchant wouldn’t waive the refund. Absolutely ridiculous and that an establishment would refuse to give a refund when THEY were the ones unable to fulfill the service.
• Angelica (2/5): - NOT worth the cost per night. No alternate means of checking in, no doorbell or video system, only via phone call upon arrival. I arrived later in the evening and the number provided was unavailable. This is very upsetting when there’s no other way to contact the host. Host messaged last minute claiming to relocate my stay but did not provide alternative accommodation. Also, don’t expect speedy communication, host does not follow up on messages.
• Brandon (10/5): - Only caveat is that it’s street parking only
• Ignacio (10/5): La PodLife offers a unique hostel experience - La PodLife offers a unique hostel experience that blends futuristic design with budget-conscious accommodations. The sleeping pods are primarily twin-bed size, and the hostel's strict rules ensure an immaculately clean environment throughout. The entire space is illuminated with the glow of blue LEDs, creating a distinctly Sci-Fi ambiance. The staff's helpfulness, particularly their willingness to accommodate my late arrival, made a positive impression. While the shared bathrooms and limited pod storage might not be everyone's cup of tea, the option to upgrade to a private room with a queen-size pod, private closet and bathroom significantly elevates the experience. I highly recommend this option, especially for taller guests or those seeking more privacy and comfort. The communal areas, including a kitchenette and exercise room, offer basic amenities, although the cooking restrictions in the kitchenette are worth noting. Overall, La PodLife is a solid choice for solo travelers or those seeking a unique and affordable stay. The twin pods might be a tight squeeze for some, but the private rooms provide a comfortable and convenient alternative.
• Mohamed (10/5): - Great option for those who just want a quick and affordable place to sleep
• Shaman (10/5): Light Show Hostel - Great stay and excellent host and amenities. The whole staff from Kevin to the owner and cleaners deserve a raise and incentive. Best hostel I ever stayed at, it is like traveling to another world. Like reading a book, playing a video game, and or watching a movie you get transported to another plane. Something unique and different.
• Alexis (4/5): - I stayed there for a few days. The staff on property, Kevin, was very nice and helpful! He was the best part of staying there. Everything else is basically trash. The neighborhood is… interesting to say the least. You’re not allowed to eat in the pod kitchen, not even snacks. You have to go all the way to the main kitchen- which is in another building. You can’t leave ANYTHING- not even slippers. It’s freezing in there all the time, but you’re not allowed to turn down the air conditioning. It’s also been quite sometime and they have yet to give my deposit back, which I paid through cashapp of all things. Seriously, this place is not worth $100 bucks a night.
• Ajanay (10/5): - The host of this hotel was super communicative and friendly! It felt as though we were staying at a friends house rather than a hotel! The place is a quiet zone 24/7 which makes the living situation so much nicer. Everything was spotless and clean on arrival and each day the rooms were tidied to always look their best! Will definitely be visiting here again!
• Samantha (10/5): - I loved staying at LA PodLife! The hosts are very communicative and helpful whenever you need anything. The place was very clean, guests were very respectful, and they had very cool amenities. I was traveling alone, so one of my main concerns was safety and comfortably, but I didn’t have any issues with that! It was overall a great experience, I would definitely stay here again!
• Jose (10/5): - Simple easy stay and was always quiet
• Pearl (10/5): I love the place - I love the services from Kevin and Chris, they both are great to me. The place is very clean and it’s a very luxury capsule hotel which I love. I met cool people who are going to Anime Expo. It’s worth it, I have great experiences here. Thank you Kevin and Chris for being nice and trying your best to do everything as you guys can. If you are traveling solo to anime expo, I would recommend this place if you are okay with outside of the place.
• Michael (8/5): - Place is great if you are looking for a place to sleep and don't mind sharing other things like a bathroom. The main problem is that it's an area that has a lot of homeless people living nearby....
• Mario (10/5): - Outside of the homeless people around the property it was a great and clean stay and the staff helped accommodate my friend and I really well
• Dandelion (10/5): - Good privacy and services.
• Derek (10/5): Comfortable - Really cool comfortable place, exactly what I needed
• Alyssa (10/5): - It was a unique experience staying in a pod in LA. I enjoyed my stay. The staff was great and the property was very clean. The neighborhood surrounding the property was a little off putting when I first arrived but I quickly was made to feel safe and comfortable once I was inside the property itself.
• Enrique (10/5): - Great staff members. Kevin was super friendly and helpful, I would definitely come back in the future!
• Mark (10/5): - Really great, and unique experience. Deff recommend if you are just needing a place to sleep. Generous accomodations with 10/10 customer service. Chris and Kevin went above and beyond for me.
• Shaye (10/5): - What a fun experience! Excellent management and very clean facility.
• kevin (10/5): - Everything very good, very comfortable, fun
• Justin (10/5): - So cool! Great experience, I can't wait to do it again. The theming was so well done and it didn't skimp on comfort. Staff was helpful and friendly.
• Maria (10/5): - It was such a nice experience to stay here, loved everything!
• T (10/5): Very nice place - As always, I’ll try to keep it short as much as possible first, when you get there, you’re welcomed by this nice gentleman who will show you around where is what like kitchen patio / patios, the movie area, which is one of the coolest I’v seen small scale for like 12 people indoors patio For smokers and none smokers Which was great then you will be taken to your designated sleeping area which is 24 seven quiet zone again, if I’m not mistaken, which should be like that everywhere my opinion because there’s lots of other areas at least in this place to do your business or to relax and chat etc NOW the sleeping bunker/ area / where you sleep that’s private and only yours 😁 is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time I will try to post some pictures ! So if you’re looking for a place that’s clean comfortable with good customer service safe private affordable to sleep this is the place you cannot go wrong ! Thank you to the management and the owners for letting me stay there it was a pleasure .
• cameron (10/5): - Despite the rain, the staff went out of their way to keep things simple. I enjoyed the coffin/pod setups but the place wasn't that busy. He did say that as long as people respect their rules that things go smoothly even when busy. I would like to see more welcoming common areas but appreciated the charger in the kitchen and how emaculate the place was. would like to see this type of setup in an industrial space or setup in an asymmetric fashion as they hopefully expand. Little expensive, but it was a holiday weekend, thanks again! (:am
• Miguel (10/5): - The actual property is amazing . Everything is new and clean. Staff very friendly and accommodating.
• Hung (10/5): - Kevin was super friendly and accommodating. The pods were surprisingly spacious (~4x4x6 ft) and comfortable. Movie room with large TV and massage chair/recliners. Kitchen access with fridge and microwave but no stove. No parking is inconvenient for those traveling by car. Street also floods when it rains.
• Kenneth (10/5): - Great place to stay for travelers looking for hostels. Each pod is secured and locked with its own card. Once door is closed, you have your own space to rest and relax, much better than normal hostels which often disturbed by other travelers. Cleanliness is excellent and host Kevin is very helpful. Location is easily assessable by bus and rideshare. I saw some comments saying the area is not good. But I am from Toronto so it is totally fine by me. It's LA, the whole place look like this except Beverly Hills. LOL
• Ashantia (10/5): - This was the exactly what I needed! Clean, quiet, and easy to check in/check out.
• Leon (10/5): - From check-in to check-out, LAPod is the place to stay. All facts. Shout-out to Kevin site mgr and Chris general mgr, communication was right on point.
• Xiaojun (10/5): - Everything within the build is clean and nice. Definitely a good option to find a place to live. The surrounding areas are just ok.
• Maurice-Aime (10/5): Clean, Quiet, Convenient comfort! - The hosts are wonderfully accommodating, quick, and generous. The unit itself was incredibly clean and comfortable, given the size of the capsule. TV comes w/ free access to multiple streaming services. The basics for a stay are in the bathroom and cleaning the rooms happens daily. It was a very convenient stay for my needs and would recommend it to any solo travelers!
• Bradley C (10/5): - The property was incredible value, in the property felt safe, clear rules and guidelines, the pods were excellent. Super restful stay! Kevin was an excellent host would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. The only downside was relied on rideshares more than I would have liked to because of the location of the property. This is not their problem I chose to stay there. Definitely worth the price you pay!
• Edward (10/5): - They were great
• Ariana (10/5): - This is one of the coolest places I have ever stayed, and I've slept in a hobbit hole, a treehouse, an igloo, a bomb shelter, and a covered wagon.
• Niko (10/5): - Amazing place. Will be back !
• keyshawn (10/5): - Amazing.
• Adam (10/5): Great experience - Staff and property were amazing. First time in hostel type stay. Neighborhood looks discouraging when you are getting close but I never felt scared of being there. Quiet area. I’m 6’2 so pod was almost not big enough. It is hard to be quiet getting in and out of pods and for me at least it seemed to make it worse when I tried harder to be quiet. For me I was just trying to be respectful to anyone else there and that was difficult. Decent size list of rules to follow but nothing difficult or out of line for a shared space. Would book again if staying in the area.
• Johnny (10/5): - Very aesthetically pleasing, the host Kevin is very friendly and helpful. The shower is amazing as well. Bed is very comfy, it’s really chill to have a pod space. Would definitely recommend
• Teresa (6/5): - Bedding area too small Not that worth
• Luis (10/5): - It's a unique and amazing spot to give a shot if you haven't stayed there..staff and all the amenities are top notch and held to a standards was very satisfying a stay.
• Derek (10/5): - Stayed here before a race and had a great night’s sleep! Surprisingly comfortable for a first stay in a pod. Would highly recommend for those under 5’9”, much taller and you’d be uncomfortable.
• Jaime (10/5): - Cant go wrong one of the best spots u can stay for a tourist
• Tyeisha (10/5): Loved it! - This place is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on this app far as hospitality and accommodation. They were above and beyond. You don’t just go here and get a bed, you go here and get an experience you can only get here in all u.s. of a. I’m definitely visiting again next time I need peace and quiet.
• Robert (10/5): podlife - it was great place to stay, quiet and relaxed, much needed
• Hoang (10/5): - One of the best capsule hotels I've ever stayed at. Super clean and location is perfect.
• Deven (10/5): - One of the best experiences I’ve ever had, everything is really clean and the pods are more comfortable than expected. Both Kevin and Chris are very welcoming and show amazing hospitality. Definitely would recommend. 10/10
• Christian (10/5): - The pods have comfy beds, pillows, and sheets. Staff was excellent and made sure to keep everything as neat and clean as possible. Shout out to Kevin. There are convenience stores and dine-in food places well within walking distance, so that was a plus. Aside from that, the outdoor lounge area is a great bonus for those who just want to chill and watch a movie for the evening. Overall, my experience was great, expectations were met and surpassed, and I look forward to returning in the near future.
• Arisa (6/5): - 7/10 The security is precise and reliable so that you can stay safe. Unfortunately, this hotel is capsule-type, so you might be disturbed by some noise from other guests. They order you to pay an additional $10 per day as a cleaning fee. But the host sometimes doesn't work, and you may have to use the same bath towel for 2-3 days. Therefore, I need help understanding about $10 per day. Moreover, there is only 1 hair dryer for all of the bathrooms. However, the host is very gentle and calm, and the area is so quiet. I may repeat here next. Note: They have 2 kitchens, but you can only use microwaves.
• Christopher (10/5): - Kevin was the best! Really cool experience I recommend checking this place out.
• Iris (10/5): - Really cool concept! The location was clean, quiet, and in amazing condition. The indoor and outdoor "theaters" were reqlly copl, though I was too busy to enjoy~ The pods themselves were a little cramped length-wise for me at 5'9" but it was manageable. HIGHLY recommend if you're spending time in LA!
