I was unsure if i would arrive just before or just after the cutoff for checking in & the staff was extremely accommodating & responsive to my updates/willing to work with me in the event i'd be in late. Check in was quick and easy, as was checking out! Absolutely loved the smaller space i was given and definitely would book with them again

Unfortunately the sheets were not washed. They were discolored and the bed also had stains on them. There's mold in the showers and the shower head is broken. It smells like pee in the showers. No blanket.

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.

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

Cleanliness is meh.

Paid for parking, only to come back and it’s taken. Cool concept, but needs work. DTLA location convenient location, but the bathroom (toilet and showers) have roaches. Came back around midnight and wanted to shower only to find multiple roaches crawling. Employee came and took pictures. That’s about all I know, checked out the next morning.

I cancelled my booking over a month ago, yet received no refund. I was unable to contact a person to do so. I found your website totally opaque. So the bottom line is that I paid for a service that was not delivered, and when I next come through LA, I will seek accommodations elsewhere.

Uncomfortable at first, but okay later.

Make sure to ask or bring a blanket at the beginning of your stay. The beds only have a sheet and a thin cover. The first night I was freezing. Luckily, they did provide blankets when asked, and I was warm enough on my last night. There was also a hole on the floor at the bottom of the steps, which was carelessly covered by a carpet, if stepped on unknowingly, it could have led to an injury. When I told a staff member about it, she spent the afternoon filling it with paper towels and some cardboard with tape. It wasn’t exactly sturdy, but I appreciated her effort, and that they removed the carpet, making it visible for guests to be aware of.

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.

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.

Nice pods and concept behind, long quite time until 10 am, light and electrical sockets in the pods, enough storage space under the bed. Dislike: mattress too soft, flatscreen in the pod not in function, very small toilets, two sinks in the hall which are in a poor (not hygienic) condition. Two doors and codes required, which changes from time to time. The dining rooms are not very clean, no air condition, more fresh air required in the rooms.
