Room 8/10: Nice and spacious room. The facilities are old however it seems as it is the vibe.

Location 1/10: Downtown LA did not feel safe at all.. So nothing with the hotel, however I would not stay in downtown LA again. Especially not so close to Skid Row when the the area still has mayor issues

Staff: Nice and friendly.

Facilities: Pool is good and there is sun the entire day as it is a roof top pool.

Good to know: The pool opens at 12, so if you want to stay at the pool entire day, that is not possible. The gym is good yet quite small. Dunkin' doughnut is right across the road, so it is easy to buy breakfast there if not included.

Booked a bed in a single quad for one night; was assigned the top bunk, but there is absolutely no feasible way to climb into the bed. The ONLY ladder, for some demented reason, is permanently affixed smack between the two sets of bunks, at such an angle that the higher you climb up, the closer your body gets to the ladder itself, making it impossible to swing one's body up and into their bed. On top of that, the ladder happens to sit DIRECTLY PARALLEL to the overhead lamp in the room⸺you cannot get high enough on the ladder to even ATTEMPT to climb into bed without smacking your head and/or upper body on the light. If you're lucky enough to manage to get in your bed⸺or score a bottom bunk⸺your reward is a single pillow with zero support, and a blanket so thin you would think it were woven a decade ago. Yes, the beds are available at a cheap nightly rate, but you are not even close to getting what you paid for.

Do yourself a favor and don't book here unless you're booking one of the private rooms, as they are the only ones that offer any sort of comfort.

The Rooms are still pretty nice and the lobby/cafe are good.

If I lived downtown I would definitely go to this cafe on the regular.

Biggest Issue for me was how loud it was. It is located on a super busy street and my room was a King Room on the 12th floor and I heard cars revving and drunks fighting on the street at all hours of the night.

Broken Shaker on the Roof is nice but it's way too cold to really use the pool so the $35 or whatever it is "Amenity Fee" is a bit of a rip-off.

For this price point and to stay in DTLA, The Biltmore is a much nicer experience.

Maybe since the Hostel rooms are so cheap people don't really care about the noise but for charging $200 + /night w Fees + Taxes there are better options in DTLA.
