Room was kinda disappointing but okay overall. Parking was 70$ per night which I was not expecting and not in my budget but I didn’t really have a choice. Hotel staff was very nice but I won’t be going back again due to the unexpected parking prices

Great hostel in downtown LA. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and rooftop pool with awesome views, music, and a fun vibe. Convenient location on 8th St. The hostel was clean, the vibe was relaxed, and the team was welcoming. Would stay again.

This is my second stay here - this time was for three days over the thanksgiving holiday weekend. Everything was great with my stay with the exception of our outdated television. We were stuck watching cable TV for three days. Last time we stayed we were able to log in to our streaming services.
