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

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 👍.

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

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.

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!!

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!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first experience at a hostel. Other guests were quiet and friendly. It's around the corner from the walk of fame but the area is sketchy. Farmer's market on Sunday helped me put up with the craziness around :)
