First and foremost great value! We had the deluxe suite which had two queen beds and a private attached bathroom. Perfect for a group of women traveling! Clean room and the staff was quick to respond when we needed more bathroom supplies.

Awesome place clean attentive staff reasonable and very accommodating at all hours of the day and night
Very clean and nice hostel for anyone looking for a place to stay in the Downtown LA area. Conveniently five minutes from downtown and very easy check in and check out process. Definitely recommend booking at Forty-First place hostel!
Property was clean, staff was great. Room was very nice and spacious. Only thing was the parking. It is first come, first served and surrounding area is one with very limited street parking. Plan to take an uber/lyft or park 3-4 blocks away after a night out like we did.
Wonderful Vibe , Quiet Location , Love the Aesthetic inside the room , lovely hot water ! Parking is a challenge but overall the stay overrides that ! Definitely would book again
Bring your own cloth hangers, none in closet. Low quality towels but ok. Chair in room had stains, the blinds in the room were dusty, sheets stained and closet wall also had stains. Take off all pillowcase and check your pillows. One pillow had a yellow stain.
Parking was weird. Room needs temperature control. More like an air b n b. No real staff on hand just some dude who can’t really help. Walls are thin. But the place was clean the neighborhood was except able room looked modern. So if you just need a room for the night perfect. But if you want luxury or some spicy time it’s no good for that. So it really depends on what you need
Personally, I think all aspects are very good, my English is not good and he is very patient on the phone, so thank you very much, I will come again next time!
Nice experience, everyone helpful and firendly.
Process of checking in worked well, excpet the first code didnt work. After aoncukting the support hotline eveything worked fine.
The appartment was clean but small. The ac was a bit noisy but nothing too bad.
Oberall good experience. Can recommend
