Residents had Covid when we got there, and we were not warned in the event we are immunocompromised. (I am) We were not offered a refund and the company asked me on why I would choose a shared space if I was “sensitive to being in groups of people who may be sick.” Podshare told Expedia that their staff would not have let anyone check in if they had Covid, but when I “checked in” by sending a photo of my ID over text, I was given a code to let myself in, as the company claimed all their staff were on leave. No one actually spoke to me in person until over six hours later and I am still unsure if they were staff or a long term resident, but Podshare did instruct them to check in, at which time said person revealed at least one person had Covid and that we should “watch out for ourselves.” The listing states it is a single floor, which is partly why I booked it, but there are beds off the ground, and we were assigned one. (I use a rollator) The showers have A LOT of mold growing in them, and are used so frequently that a white, thick substances formed on the floor of them that was not cleaned away during the duration of my four night stay.

Good for a night
First impressions weren’t great as we didn’t receive an email on how to find the entrance despite informing them of our arrival time. When we did check in, lots of sirens went past so we weren’t hopeful. However the beds were comfy and big and the other guests were pretty quiet, quiet time was 10pm-10am but it was quiet the majority of the time. Bathrooms were very small but clean and the showers were lovely. Probably wouldn’t want to stay longer than a night due to lack of privacy and safe storage

No privacy. Entrances are locked with pins and we had to wait outside for an hour till the front desk guy came in to help us out. The living area couch is dirty. No dedicated dining areas. It is 26min walk to downtown.

The people in the hostel were kind and kept to themselves. Majority of them were not in the hostel most of the time, making the area quiet. The place is also a 5 min walks away from little Tokyo and shopping spots. So if you’re a fan of Japanese food then this is the perfect spot. Bathrooms were really small and I questioned if they were clean but for the price i think it’s worth it. Bring your own blanket as well. I made the mistake of not bringing one. The blankets they provided reminded me of cheap curtains. They were thin, so I was freezing in the night. Other than that I recommend this place if you’re going to stay for a day. I’d definitely book a hotel if it were more than one.

The bathroom is too tiny. But the bed is big and comfortable. And the location is good. Cuz u can walking 6 mins to A little Tokyo. It’s just the price is high for Hostel but other things are barely ok. One night sleep is ok. 2 to 7 nights is too much : Not worthy.

My boyfriend and I stayed here two nights while we were visiting LA. Overall, it was a good experience. The pod design is cozy and nice, the bed was very comfy. One of our favorite things was the quiet time from 10 pm to 10 am, which is actually enforced. Thanks to that rule, we were able to sleep well. The only big downside is that the shower stalls are gross and have mold growing in them, and that the outlets in the pods are totally worn out so anything you plug into them just slips right out.

in theory, great idea. someone is definitely profiting a lot off of this. the execution: terrible. if everyone realized other people exist, it might be a great solution. but it is what I imagine sleeping in a jail to be like but no women, only men. I arrived late 12:30am, but I was not the last person, 2 people arrived much later and had their phone lights on to find their beds & were apologizing out loud. I luckily found my assigned bed and slept in my clothes to not disturb anyone around me but that’s impossible. the mattress had no support, lumpy, old, the sheets were not soft or new, the single pillow was very old. I hoped they were clean & bed bug free but it was too dark to see. A window was open & the train went by every 5-7min ruining any possibility of actual sleep. I dozed off twice to be woken up by falling objects from other bunks, snores (how anyone could sleep is amazing to me) footsteps loud & soft, someone taking a pill/water, someone decided to shower around 4am and then had a bowl of cereal with every spoon clink on the bowl being clear as day. at 8:30am I had enough & left but used the toilet that has a flimsy closet door, I’m glad I only had to pee or it would’ve been a symphony for the whole room. the bathroom area smelled bad but didn’t see the roaches all the other reviews list. I’m only giving it one star because it was a lil better than sleeping in my rental car on the street. like… what even is this place? I stay in hostels frequently.
