Hostile want traveling folks from other countries
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.

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

2/10 Poor

A place to stay if desperate
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.
