PodShare DTLA Arts District - Hostel

I liked the kitchen & tv room

The staff was friendly and it easy to move in even for one day. It feels a little cramp for the bathroom and shower space. It feels nice to know that my belongings would be fine and untouched when I leave it at my pod. It might be because of the weather at the time but it felt quite humid and but sure if we can request a fan to cool down but besides all that, it wasn't too bad. The sink does have a lot of dirty dishes. I had a good experience for my first time at a hostel as a solo traveler.

Disappointing

All good except the cleanliness (cleanliness not bad, but can be better) All good except the cleanliness (cleanliness not bad, but can be better)

the position is very convenient to little Toyko privicy & shower

Convenient location, I walked from the LA Union train station late at night with no issues! Bed was really comfy, they provided a small sample-size packet of shampoo and conditioner. There seems to be people who are staying there long-term (which is totally fine with me) but one of them had music playing out loud for almost the entire night! I had to use my own airpods to play a podcast to myself to drown his music out and managed to sleep fine, but it was mildly annoying

Pleasant

Everything about the look is great and the beds not being attached is great . Not having to worry about shaking beds is great. And the stairs to the top bunks are great . One bathroom was broken and it was an inconvenience most times .

Excellent location within walking distance from Union Station and several cool neighborhoods. My bed and pod were comfortable and check-in instructions were clear. Bring earplugs since the city emits constant noise, although not too bad at night. The bathroom situation is not ideal but otherwise a convenient spot. I'd definitely book it again!

Convenient and clean.

El mejor lugar que me he quedado y la gente super amable

Location Restrooms are too small and showers unclean

Very good

I got robbed here. DTLA arts district is a theft operation. Run, run fast if you find yourself here and never look back.

Overall, happy because there werent many people and the area was great. But the place needed improvements and to be more fully cleaned. If it was full then idk what it would be like, too much for sure but it wasnt.

Good location and great price. Easy to get into. Lot of plugs for recharging. I ended up taking an Uber to Union Station, but you could walk 10-15 mins or take a bus later in the day. Very close to Japan town. The bed is big enough for two people, if you aren't staying too long. Each pod is 12 or so beds, so it's a reasonable amount of people. There is a small kitchen area for reheating food and people leave some food to share community style (e.g., cereal, rice, etc.) Simple curtains would be a big improvement. There was a guy listening to videos without headphones - after an hour I asked him if had headphones and he was apologetic. I checked in late and there were no towels visible. Turned out to be a mistake that the attendant should have left a set on my bed, but there wasn't anyone to contact after midnight. The mirror to put on makeup is over the sink, so it can feel rushed. But they had a good hair dryer and other small amenities available.

I liked the price and the shared living environment. I liked the front desk worker. They were very accommodating. Starting with the first day in the shared living room, I saw a mouse run to the back storage area. I also noticed a musty smell on the bed. Even with my sensitive nose, when I removed the pillowcase, I saw the pillow was yellowed. Additionally, I didn't like that on my last night there, the shower grate was missing for some reason. I didn't shower because I was too scared.
