I had a good stay but there was no real breakfast. Just bread and peanut butter and nutella both days. One guy ate the entire thing of strawberries and made himself 4 sandwiches leaving no bread for the rest of us….rooms are cozy and private and the balcony was amazing for fresh air.

Your staff is either spying on me, while I'm in bed or allowing others on the property too. I'm sure you have cameras that can verify this. I'm very uncomfortable and feel unsafe. This is beyond words

Lori

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The business was a great idea, but vetting personalies and the expectations that adults should act accordingly and understand that some people are in need of walkung around, going to the bathroom and changing their clothes to leave at any given time is a part of grown up life. It would help avoid childesh

Liked: Cleanliness
In general I love the Rumi. The location is excellent if you need access to public transportation, dining/grocery options, and K-town. One thing to be aware of - the hostel did not have front desk staff before 11:00 AM. If there was available staff, I did not see a method to contact them. If they were there - there was no way to know who they were. This is highly inconvenient in cases where you have questions, or need help. My recommendation is that during check-in, ask all of the questions you have at that time OR make sure to talk to staff when you see them which is generally after 11:00 AM.

I stayed at the Rumi Hostel for two nights and I loved the atmosphere and how comfortable the bedroom and living room were, as well as the convenience of the complimentary breakfast. It was great value and worth the stay. The metro stop was also close by as well as good visiting sites. I would definitely like to come back here again whenever I visit LA next time!

It's a small facility, but it's a perfect spot for traveling solo, I stayed to attend a concert nearby. There are a lot of plants in the outdoor area which makes it feel like an oasis in contrast to the usual LA smog. Kitchen is well equipped, quite clean, overall a great value. Highly recommended.
