Hotels near Student Union in Los Angeles

These guys have a maximum stay limit of two weeks, and I know why: If they didn't, nobody would ever leave! What I loved about this place is how they manage to have such a good balance. I have a decent amount of hosteling experience and I feel that often a place is either clean and strict, or relaxed but dirty, but this place gets it just right: It's super clean and well-taken care of, but at the same time the atmosphere as well as the management is super relaxed and chill. The guests are definitely not the typical ”LA tourist” type, most of the people there seemed very individualistic, with the majority of them being solo travelers. They tend to keep themselves but are still up for a little chat. Again, it's the perfect balance. It's a friendly place but not a party hostel. In many hostel dormitories people come and go all night, turning on the lights and making a lot of noise, but this wasn't the case here. The lights went out pretty early, and whoever came in late would make an effort not to disturb the other people. Most of their rooms are regular dorms with bunk beds, but for just a few bucks more you can get a pod with a curtain and your own light, which I highly recommend. It's not always easy to get a good night's rest in hostels, but I slept really well here. Everything is very clean and there's a common area with plants and cozy warm vibes, it's all quite small but never feels crowded, even if they're completely booked. I would also like to add that I'm someone who struggles with all sorts of allergies, including dust and certain cleaning agents, and I had no issues here at all, which again speaks for the cleanliness of the place. Without a doubt one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at and probably the best deal you can get in LA. It's the sort of place you kinda don't want to tell anyone about because you want to keep it a secret, which is probably why nobody has written a review before ;)

Stayed here to go to a show at the Greek Theatre. Room smelled and looked clean enough, but there were stains on the bedding, and we only had a sheet and not a blanket. By the time I realized it I was laying down to sleep and was too tired to call the front desk and ask for one. Free parking was a bonus. The fridge was nice and cold, but there aren't ice machines at the hotel. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs. There is road noise ALL NIGHT LONG. AJ, who was working the front desk, was very nice and helpful. Overall, for the price and the reason we were there, it worked!

The one incident that nearly ruined my stay at CitizenM was the aggressive sprinkler inspection. I was not notified by email, phone, nor physical note about an inspection. At 9:15am, I was awoken by banging on my guest room door. I went to the door to see two men continuing to bang on the door, saying that they needed immediate access to check on equipment. Everything I've been taught about hotel safety was to NOT open the door to unidentified men. I told them everything in the room was fine and that I would be checking out within the hour. They continued to insist that I immediately open the door, which started to frighten me. I told them I was going to call the front desk to check if they were sent by the hotel. I was surprised that one of the men responded in an angry manner saying, ”FINE, GO AHEAD AND CALL THE FRONT DESK!” The woman at the front desk apologized, said that she too had just found out about the inspection, and said that the men were indeed authorized to inspect the sprinklers. I opened the door and they did a quick inspection. I did not appreciate the aggressive, unprofessional manner in which they demanded entry into my room. Other than that, the rest of my experience was excellent!

I went to watch the Lakers game, so the location of the hotel is very important to me. I can walk to the stadium from the hotel in 5 minutes, so I am very satisfied with this. The room is not big, and like other hotels, there are no slippers or toiletries, so you have to bring your own. I stayed in a corner room with a very good view and plenty of sunshine.

Good location. Not far from downtown and Hollywood. Hygienic conditions. There is a magical smell in the room. The air conditioning is old-fashioned. The noise is not small. The room is very clean.

This is one of the best hotels I stayed in LA, I really enjoyed staying in the k-town area, great selection of restaurants, well-stocked supermarkets, close to the metro station and the hotel staff were extremely helpful, I will def come back to this hotel and for sure will recommend this hotel to everyone :)

We recently stayed on the 8th (top) floor in a deluxe king room. So many reviews mention a noise issue, but we NEVER heard noise from the top floor bar or pool or from the restaurant on the ground floor. The only noise that was troublesome was children on our floor racing up and down the hall and banging on doors for fun, but the hotel quickly took care of that. Aside from a quiet stay, the room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom is thoughtfully designed and we always had warm water and great water pressure. We did have once instance of the shower not draining but it was quickly resolved. The views were incredible and the blackout curtains were perfect, fully covering the windows; no rays of light sneaking in like so many traditional curtains. The Hyatt app allowed us to Chromecast to the TV when we were relaxing and wifi was fast. While there isn't a traditional desk area to work from the lobby has plenty of room to settle in comfortably and work from a laptop if needed. This was a trip to celebrate a milestone birthday and the tommie Hollywood team left a small birthday gift in the room to help us kick off our stay. It was so thoughtful and much appreciated. The location is great-- we were able to walk to much of what we wanted to do in Hollywood/Downtown LA and the rest was a quick Metro or Lyft away. We were mildly nervous about staying in Hollywood, but a lot of revitalization has been done and it was honestly better than our hometown west coast big city in terms of safety/visible unhoused persons. We were steps away from some amazing food/drinks, too-- Intelligensia, Bahn Oui, Love2Eat Thai Bistro, Scum and Villany Cantina, the Hollywood Farmers Market on Sunday, and Ka'teen and Desert 5 Spot in the hotel itself. We will be back!

The location of the hotel is also not far from the subway station, a five-minute walk, but it is strongly recommended not to take the subway, there are homeless people everywhere, the whole body is dirty and smelly, and it feels very unsafe. The entrance gates of the subway station were vandalized, and many people entered the station without buying a ticket. The hotel is located in the Hollywood district, not far from the Universal Studios, the Chinese Theater, the Mount Hollywood sign and other attractions, and the transportation is convenient. There is a big Target supermarket nearby, Ralph next to the subway station, and a Thai noodle shop. The taste is very authentic. In addition, there is a Japanese-style grocery store, which is cheap and good. The surrounding environment of the hotel is average, there are often homeless people sleeping on the street, and there is trash on the ground. The hotel does not include breakfast, but you can borrow a microwave oven to clean the room every three days. There is heating in the room, so it is more comfortable to open in winter night. The room size is relatively small, with a small refrigerator, coffee machine, hair dryer, no toothbrushes, slippers, etc. The bathroom and floor and wall seem to have been renovated, and look relatively new. Only one elevator can be used by swiping the room card.

The hotel has a complimentary simple breakfast, which is simple bread and coffee juice, simple but also enough, after all, the demand for the motel is not too high! Parking for 10 knives a day, will send a card to enter and exit the parking lot with the card, the card is hung in the conspicuous position of the car glass after parking. The room still has a surprise, the modern style is simple and clean, very good! There are subways around, M is fast food, there is a pavilion supermarket next to the hotel, which is very late, and many everyday things are convenient to buy. Because the hotel does not provide drinking water, we bought a lot of mineral water in the supermarket, eating things! There is a microwave in the room to cook things by yourself. The coffee machine has hot water. For the Chinese partner, it is still necessary to find hot water in winter... and the young girl at the front desk said that they will open the coffee machine to pick up hot water... The hotel is also very convenient to go to the Universal Studios of the Avenue of Stars. not bad
