I was super excited about this place...very cheap and right next to staples center where I was attending a Lakers game. My room was nice, except I got bit up by bed bugs. Oh yeah and then they just so happened to be transported in my suitcase to my apartment where I am still being bitten to this day. The... More

Stayed there for 2 nights. Great accommodation. Room is very new with modern design and the most important is it's clean. Shared toilet and bathroom are very very small but clean all the time. Very helpful receptionist. Great value with breakfast! For traveller with heavy baggage, recommend to use the Cecil hotel elevator which is located on the ground floor.... More

Stay is located on the first few floors of The Cecil Hotel on Main Street. Although it has a separate entrance with a lounge, your rooms are still hotel quality. Nicely decorated and clean, our towels and sheets were changed and the room cleaned daily. Quite the bonus for someone expecting a hostel. The lounge has free breakfast (cereal, coffee,... More

Great value, I checked in 3 minutes before check-in closed. Lucky! And I ended up with a room to myself. Room was lovely and colourful. Super clean. Felt like a hotel! Ensuite, Free wifi (didnt work in my room, fine in lobby) and breakfast is included.

Stayed here twice, since this place is great value for such an expensive city as LA. Although the hostel shares a historic downtown building with Hotel Cecil, the two are completely separate entities, and the hostel is thoroughly modern, renovated, and funky. You pay a hostel price for your bed, but you are likely to get hotel amenities: The rooms... More

Stay on Main was clean and comfortable, fun and funky. Staff was very helpful and knowledgable about attractions in the area. A great location, easy to get to from LA Union Station. Ask for a room away from the street. Convenient to Olveras Street, Grand Central Market, the fashion and jewelry districts.

Although the room was very comfortable, it was very difficult to reach it. I had to carry three heavy bags through hallways, stairs and elevator. The internet did not work in the rooms. So I had to go down to the lobby to use it. And breakfast was not very good either. We used to have only cereal, coffee and... More

Was my first time visiting LA,and friends recommended Stay for its convenient location(10 min walk to subway) and decent prices. Agree with the rest that downtown LA is pretty crappy, and dangerous for ladies who are alone. I booked a shared room online even though i was travelling alone for the lower price, but changed my mind when i reached.The... More
