Kawada Hotel

Nothing special to write home about. The room was cramped like crazy and the TV must have been about 18 inches. The bathroom sink water barely came out but I survived. I only needed this place because it was close to work. If you are going to Los Angeles for vacation, DO NOT STAY HERE. However if you are in need of a place for a night or two then by all means its manageable, just don't hold it to high expectations. On a final note, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Very good people who do their best to help when they can. I do plan on staying here again.

Me and my husband stayed here for 5 days. The hotel location was good and close to metro rail station ( 3 minutes walk). it was so convenient.. The room was kinda small but there are small kitchen and fridge minus microwave. The problem was there is no hair dryer in bathroom!! other than that this place is nice to place to stay. The stuffs were very friendly and nice. There are so many place to eat in LA downtown. If you want to have good burger. we really recommend to eat at Redwood Bar right next to the hotel. They have Best burger in downtown in LA.

Stayed here thinking it was a great value and close to downtown. When I arrived at the hotel one thing was correct, it was close to downtown. Room was booked as two queen beds but when I walked in to the room (I say room but it was more comparable to a closet) it was a twin bed with a trundle underneath. Bathroom was tiny as well as the room. Not the cleanest looking room and the smell was unpleasant. Hotel needs a massive renovation to ever be considered for another stay. Would not recommend this place to even my worst enemy to stay here. Luckily the rest of my Los Angeles trip was good despite the bad hotel.

Awesome location. 1 block from civic center metro. will stay here again as we just go back to sleep in it and stay out all day and late night. internet cost us 5$ and local phone calls costs some money as well other than that no issues.

Location was horrible it was loud all day and night. Staff very friendly and helpful. Wouldn't recommend it but it worked for what we had to be there for.

A quick background: I'm a Mid-20's single male professional who stayed here for only one night to get some stuff done in the DTLA area. I only mention this because honestly I think if you don't fit into the above category you should not stay here. The hotel is spartan at best. This literally is a minimum standard hotel in regards to everything. The room was extremely small (Basically a bed that takes up most of the room with a tiny sink and a small desk). The bathroom was tiny and the sink had no hot water at all (Shower did). The floor was uneven and the bathroom was freezing cold. One thing that really annoyed me was that the Bathroom light was on a timer. It is a little annoying to be in the shower and the lights turn off on you. This is a room for ONE person. Period. Anything more and you won't be able to breathe. The staff, while helpful when asked for service, gave off the impression that they did not want to be there. One of the elevators did not work. The location is great as it is smack down in the middle of DTLA. I was able to get a cab easily and later I walked to everywhere I needed to go. Food options in the area are there but a little limited since DTLA isn't exactly built for tourists. All in all, I only recommend this place if you are a single male (I find it hard to believe any woman would put up with this place) who only requires a bed and a hot shower. Literally. I did not enjoy my stay but I would stay here again because I am simple and can manage. I plan to stay at this hotel again when I return for future business simply because its cheap and all I really need. Again, stay here if you are a male, mid or late 20's, going alone, not picky about ANYTHING ,and not for long. Considering most of my friends are in this group, I would recommend this hotel to a friend.

If you expect four walls, a TV, a bed and bathroom, and not much else, then this is it. It was clean but not exactly comfortable since it was very basic. There is a computer in the lobby with internet but otherwise, no WiFi. There was no hotel parking but there were numerous places nearby. It is very centrally located so you can just catch a cab or walk to where you need to go in the Downtown area.

Besides the bed being a bit stiff, the staff was very friendly! We like the valet guy a lot! There's a stove in there! The hotel was walking distance to all the attractions in downtown LA!

The pictures they show on the page is quite different than the actual room. The room is completely crammed and so small the bed was almost to the door an it blocked the mirrors even. We came in and there was used empty water bottles on the floor and it had a gross stench to it. We asked for non smoking and got smoking. The elevator literally smelled like someone urined in it and no one cleaned it up. The front staff man was rude and totally unfriendly like we were almost inconveniencing him. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

room is small, beds are not clean. really not a good place to stay.
