Much like a paid jail stay, the “boutique” “hostel” always delivers the goods. Brutish staff, gross facilities and the usual coterie of drug addicts await you!

This is not the place that you wanted to sleep in, it’s worse than sleeping in the street and you will get sick if you were to stay in this place, no toilet paper, no hand soap, no clean environment, the pictures you saw on the posts is a old picture and don’t you think of booking this place. My friend and I stepped in to the door and we just looked at each others, don’t book if you don’t feel comfortable sleeping with a stranger in this situation, it is better to sleep in a car than this.

You will be sharing a room and bed with other MEN. Strangers in a hostel, very predatory vibes and NOT SAFE. If you need help they will never help or answer, best to carry a gun or have 911 on stand by. DO NOT STAY HERE - you have been warned. it is horrible. Very Dangerous. Very Disgusted that Orbitz even promotes this TRASH.

I had a good time here. It’s an adventure, you roll the dice. The whole panoply of humanity is represented, even the entitled. The fridge looks like a crime scene and the guys that run it are like capos from some lost detention center, but I found a way to enjoy.

The not-so-boutique dump stay.

There was nothing essential or “boutique” about this place. There was no towels, no hand soap, no toilet paper, no air conditioning, NO NOTHING!! And the hostel manager was a jerk! Checking in with this guy was such a pain!! Always left me and a friend of mine on voicemail whenever we tried calling to check in. I hate how there was no front desk check in, it was all virtual, and the fact they didn’t offer free parking was just the worst. I’m constantly struggling to find a decent spot in the street without risking a parking ticket and I just did not wanna wait till the last day to leave this dump of a place. Me and a friend got out of there ASAP! Never staying in a hostel ever again.

Disappointing Stay – Ended Up Leaving Early My stay at The Homestay Boutique in Los Angeles did not meet expectations. The check-in process was unclear—phone calls went unanswered, and we had to ask nearby people for help. We later found out that instructions were posted on the door, but this was not communicated in advance. Once we contacted someone through email, the communication felt unwelcoming. The room itself did not match the photos online. It had an unpleasant odor, lacked cleanliness, and appeared very different from what was advertised. Based on what we saw and how we felt, we didn’t feel comfortable staying the night. We ended up booking another place and leaving immediately. Overall, the experience was disorganized and disappointing, and I would not choose to stay here again.
