Giulia, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The place itself is okay, but their code to open the place up didn't work (I didn't get it wrong, I had the correct code), so with it being 4AM and no one being around to help, I had to sleep in my car. This was a two day trip, this happened on the first day. I didn't expect to get a refund for that night but for the night after too where I told them I won't be returning? BS

It was very walk place and the owner was so kind. I want to use again if I visit LA next time.

Small but comfortable

Small but comfortable beds. Great location. Only downside is that there is only one bathroom. I would probably stay again.

2/10 Poor

Employees and owners are rude and verbally offensive. The employees made many perverse statements.

Andrew, was helpful and accommodating. He was knowledgeable about everything PodShare. (They're a small business that is big on community). He bought steaks for two people whom we celebrated their birthday a few days into my stay. A few of us chipped in & contributed. Abby, the manager, made two delicious cakes. It was a good time 👍.

Cuando llegue me notificaron que mi reservación había sido cancelada. Y jamás me avisaron. Tuve que salirme de ahí y buscar un hotel mucho más caro ya que fue de urgencia. Los Números y la app no me resolvieron en Ese momento nada

Muy recomendable

La atención del staff fue excelente, la limpieza y el ambiente fueron muy buenos. Lo único que no era muy bueno era que se tienen varios ventiladores encendidos todo el tiempo, lo que no ayuda a conciliar el sueño.

Great location and comfortable beds

Everything was fantastic, great location to public transportation Hollywood Blvd. Comfortable beds, fantastic amenities and lovely people. Thank you to Andrew for his kindness and helpfulness throughout my visit
Nicola, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property is tucked inside, off main streets. super low-key. It is part of condo building on its own street, was surprisingly quiet in the middle of Hollywood. A block in either direction has food/ shopping/ studios. Main doors were left open to let light and fresh spring air. Seemed safe, as no strange or homeless people seemed to walk on Cosmo street, clean street, security for buildings across street usually comes out. Warning; it is an open loft, hostel. Not hostel w/ rooms and beds. Like a studio apartment w/ a few neatly arranged beds surrounding a kitchen table. Everyone was super quiet, kept to themselves. But this place is definitely vibes for the aspiring person looking into living in LA. Sidenote: management could up training on receiving guest and extra care on general cleanliness. but overall not disgusting or dirty feeling, just felt lived in w guest coming in and out. Pod Bed was comfortable, firm, clean, but kept hitting head on ceiling and the clothes rack kinda useful but also dangerous. Cool they had urinal, but also not sure why a cabinet was in way. Anyways. Freehand has a great lobby to hang and do work and go back to bed. But Podshare Hollywood room is more livable. Wanted to try Podshare Venice to get the vibes of LA, but next time.

Not bad

Not a bad stay if you are used to communal living. There is no privacy at all, and might be long waits for the bathroom at night. Would not recommend for solo female travelers, otherwise an okay accommodation if you are prepared for the experience! Place is clean and liveable, everyone is fairly considerate and keeps the volume down after hours.

Parking is Horror. Riff Raff tries to enter sometimes. Great Staff. Good Pod concept. Kitchen could need new pans. Sometimes the room heats up too much.
Jens, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good Comcept of the Pods. Very good staff here. But: Riff Raff likes to come in sometimes. The room overheats at might, because the climate system has a problem. A window you could open would help in cool nights. This is no rocket science. Only one bathroom. No morning coffe or breakfast like in other hostels. Kitchen equipment could need an update. No papertowels in kitchen.

Top Lage, nette Leute, aber nicht so sauber

Die Lage ist wirklich gut, um vieles in Hollywood fußläufig zu erkunden. Die Metro Station war auch nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Die Mitarbeiter sind super nett und hilfsbereit. Ab 22 Uhr ist Bettruhe und ich habe selten ein Hostel erlebt, in dem es wirklich so schön ruhig ist und sich alle daran halten. Internet ist gut. Die Sauberkeit lässt allerdings sehr zu wünschen übrig. Wir hatten einige Kakerlaken bzw. Ungeziefer z. B. In der Küche. Küchen Handtücher lohnen sich nicht mehr zu waschen, die sollte man direkt entsorgen. Kühlschrank müsste einmal grundgereinigt werden, denn die ganzen Gummilippen sind schwarz vom Schimmel

Nice place and nice staff

Convenient place for sightseeing and clean bed. We can use bath towels for free. They minimize the maximum customer because of covid, so it was not so problem to sleep with people in the same room. And the staff was very nice!!

Caro e incomodo

El lugar es raro. Primero no tiene ni un cartel, por lo q es dificil de encontrar. No tiene recepcion, asi que si llegas temprano y no esta la encargada, no puedes ni entrar a dejar las cosas. Para conseguir el codigo tienes q llamar (dificil si no tienes linea local). Cuando logras llamar, una contestadora dice q tienes q enviar un mensaje, el cual nunca respondieron. Me toco esperar HORAS en la calle esperando a q llegue la encargada, y cuando le comente la situacion, esquivo el tema. Ya adentro, es un ambiente grande con muchas camas y cocina integrada. En mi caso compartimos una cama entre 2, aunque el precio fue casi el mismo que si nos hubiesen dado 2 camas. Hay un solo baño para AL MENOS 9-10 personas. Siempre hay alguien durmiendo y el ambiente es MUY silencioso, por lo que el uso tanto de la cocina como de las "zonas comunes" (una mesa entre las camas) es incomodo. Mas q un hostel es un departamento compartido, casi toda la gente vive ahi. Me parecio caro para lo que ofrece y es MUY INCOMODO para reservas de ultimo momento y si no tienes linea local. Encontrar un telefono en la zona es imposible. Lo unico bueno es la ubicacion, cerca del paseo de la fama. No volveria.

worth the price,

Overall, it was a cool experience, My wife and I enjoyed the the experience, met great people. only down fall for me is lack of air conditioning/cooling system, was a hot night. if we could have extended, my wife and I would have done so. hopefully others are welcomed and enjoy it like my wife and i. Close to hollywood blvd, WIFI accessible, lock panel to door, It wasnt the cleanest, but it was not matter to us. bring a fan!!!!!!!!!!!
