It’s an easy and quiet place to stay, sleep, take a shower and more. Close to transportation and many businesses.

One thing that hotels.com does not tell you is that with a hostel they want you to be traveling and they want you to present your airplane ticket or bus ticket. I needed but cheap room in LA for one night so I went ahead and went in and I showed them my bus ticket. But my ID was from California. She said I'll let you pass tonight but you can't stay more than one night. So that is not listed in hotels.com.

The worst part was definitely the AC not working in peak LA summer, it felt like a sauna during the day and I d’ wake up soaking in sweat. I tried talking to the management but all they did was calling someone to clean the filter, which didn’t solve a thing and nothing else was done after that. Cleaning was poorly done, could be better as well. Shower head was hanging because the piece that holds it to the wall was broken. They say they offer breakfast but it’s 3 pieces of toast with peanut butter, coffee or tea and a pancake mixture, I wouldn’t call that breakfast tbh… Staff was overall nice but I wouldn’t return.

I had a great stay at the hostel—friendly staff, clean rooms, and a vibrant atmosphere. However, my last day was spoiled by an unfortunate incident. When I went to check out, someone took my mug and tea maker from my room within minutes. Disappointingly, the hostel staff didn't take responsibility. Aside from this, it was a good experience

It’s a hostel, so you can’t expect much, but even with that it failed expectations. The $20 deposit you will probably never get back. Toilet paper goes in the trash cans not in the toilet so good luck with that smell. Looks like there’s no professional work done on the property in who knows how many years. The “complimentary breakfast” is really just peanut butter and jelly you make yourself hoping no one double dipped. The bathrooms have no towels and there aren’t enough bathrooms for how many guests are staying there. The lockers are put in between a wall so you have to have a very small lock to fit and only a small bag or two that will fit in the locker. The beds are uncomfortable and small. I’m not one to have bad allergies but I got hives from the bedding. If you don’t have much stuff, and just want a place to sleep and looking for the cheapest place available then this is the place for you. Otherwise I would look elsewhere. To me it was not worth the cheap rate.

Amazing location and stay, 10 minute walk from the D line. Staff went above and beyond to correct a mistake I made by selecting the wrong dorm and were able to get me a room regardless. Room was clean, beds were clean and the place was secure. Very much so recommend staying here 10/10.

Room was smelling very musty and we had to shorten our stay because it felt unsafe I was gagging in the room.

I like the style. And I totally support their originality. I came from SF for a concert in LA and I didn’t want to mind a lot of fees in a regular hotel. And this place sufficed the purpose.
You’ll find a lot of travelers and backpackers. Chill people - haven’t met anybody disrespectful. However, you need to understand people have different cultures.
That being said, everyone was nice specially Irene (or I guess that was her name?) the nice blond lady from the evening shift.
Thanks Rumi Hostel! I enjoyed my short but nice trip in LA!

I really loved my stay at the Rumi Hostel. I met nice people and felt safe during my entire stay. The bed hurt my back, I believe it may not have been firm enough. Other than that, it really was a beautiful stay. I’d like to come back some day soon.

During my recent trip to Los Angeles, I had the pleasure of staying at the Rumi Hostel, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the hostel. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and were incredibly helpful throughout my stay, ensuring I felt at home from the very beginning.
The hostel itself is beautifully designed, blending modern amenities with a cozy, artistic vibe. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The common areas were equally impressive, offering plenty of space to unwind, socialize, and even get some work done.
One of the highlights of my stay was the hostel's central location. Situated in the heart of Los Angeles, it provided easy access to many of the city's top attractions. I found myself just a short walk away from great restaurants, vibrant nightlife, and iconic landmarks. This made exploring the city a breeze, allowing me to make the most of my time in Los Angeles.
Overall, my stay at the Rumi Hostel was nothing short of wonderful. The combination of excellent service, comfortable accommodations, and prime location made it the perfect home base for my adventures in Los Angeles. I highly recommend the Rumi Hostel to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay in this vibrant city.
