Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Low overall rating — The hostel scores 6.1 out of 10 based on 505 reviews, below the area average of 7.9, indicating mixed experiences.
- Shared bathrooms only — Rooms come with shared bathroom access, which may not suit everyone's preference for privacy.
- Limited in-room amenities — Guest rooms list no specific amenities; the flat-screen TV and kitchen items are common-area features, so in-room comforts are minimal.
- Location requires a car for major sights — STAPLES Center is about 15 minutes by car, and while transit is close, the main attractions aren't within walking distance.
