Good hostel for travelers. It really feels like a place for people who are traveling, not locals just hanging around. I stayed in another hostel in LA before, but it was full of locals, so I left the next day with no refund. I found this place after and it was much better. Good price for what you get. Breakfast is included, bathrooms are clean, and body wash is provided. I wish they had a hairdryer ^^

Overall, my stay was good. The check-in was smooth, the staff were super kind, attentive. Suggestion: have daily cleaning in the rooms, pay attention to the rules inside the rooms especially about food and keep the door closed.

Horrível, não recomendo. Apesar de ser um hostel, podem ter um pouco mais de limpeza nos quartos, melhorar a qualidade dos colchões. O café da manhã é melhor nem ter. Servir café puro com leite em pó e pão de forma com nutella e manteiga de amendoin. Opções nada saudáveis. Tem opções mais baratas e melhores. Recomendo procurar outras opcoes de acomodação na região.

地下鉄駅から近く、わかりやすいロケーション。治安も悪くなさそうだった。ラルフズがある。コリアンタウンエリアで飲食店もある。 部屋にバス・トイレがあるのは、誰かが使っているとトイレにも行けないので良し悪し。早朝チェックアウトしたが夜まで荷物を置いておけた。

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.
