Los Angeles Hostels

The description here was definitely misleading because I booked a room and eventually landed in a bedroom with 9 other people. There is no single room here.

The room was clean, but the kitchen was a bit small. Also, the shower room and toilet were unisex, which was a bit scary. The location was good, with easy access to anywhere by bus.

Shoes need to be stored in a unified manner, which will make them smell good. You should use air freshener. In addition, their manager Karina is not in the store, and sometimes the response is very slow, and the beds are arranged incorrectly.

Samesun hostel was perfectly located along Hollywood boulevard. The hostel provided a very good breakfast and coffee setup which could set you up for the day ahead. Hostel was generally clean, there could be a little wait for showers in the morning with only 3 showers available in a very big hostel. Has a good common area with vending machines and a pool table.

Good value for money, the hostel is in good condition. There is free breakfast, coffee, milk, bread, cereal, muffins are all available, the toilet and bathroom are clean and convenient to use.

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful! The room had a playful, secret base-like atmosphere, which was exciting. The outside noise was a little loud, and the bed was close to the air conditioner, so the mechanical noise was also a bit annoying, but if you check in early, you can choose your bed, so if you don't mind privacy, I recommend choosing the lower bed.

The host, Ron, was very friendly, very understanding guy. 100% made my experience comfortable. The location is next to Little Tokyo and the (new) Little Tokyo subway station. A lot of good eating areas around Little Tokyo. The sleeping/living area had very poor air conditioning. The bathroom and shower are quite rustic and gross, but that's not something I personally care about. I know other people are sensitive to this, so I will preface that I saw cockroaches in the bathroom. By no means is the toilet disgusting without being cleaned, but rather something you'd find at a bar downtown... Generally speaking though, the experience was good and I will be visiting again in the future. To emphasize, the host, Ron, really made me feel comfortable with being in LA.

The entrance password changes every day(?), but this is not notified to all users. At least, there are a certain number of guests, including myself, who cannot open the door and hit the intercom repeatedly at night, and who bang on the door repeatedly. This is probably the case for people who have not returned to the inn for more than a day (stayed elsewhere during their stay). I was afraid of getting into trouble as a result of letting someone in at my own discretion, so I asked the owner to contact me directly and gave him the owner's phone number, but the owner did not answer the phone and I ended up letting him in. To be honest, the sound of people hitting the intercom repeatedly and banging on the door at night was scary for me. I may have overlooked something, including myself... Also, the check-in method will be communicated to the owner by email after arrival. Therefore, although it is a self-check-in, if you want to check in late, we recommend that you check in advance to see if you can check in at that time.

It is about 20 minutes' drive from Fairfax. The staff is very helpful! The kitchen is small but very clean.
