There was no one there to even get a blanket. The room stunk and it was so fithy. No toilet paper or paper towels.
Ceceilia
It stunk, the fridge was dirty. The rooms had a bad smell. I had someone who walk around in period panties it was awful
Manuel Lucas
Never stayed at a hostel before. The Normandie hostel is new, clean and the beds are great with so much privacy. Plus they’re virtual check in is a breeze with fast responses.
Lance
Great stay. Clean. Peaceful. Safe.
Ryelee
Please read before booking
First, I wasn’t checked in until 8 PM. Then when I did check in the room that was assigned to me had somebody in. This was my first hostel stay so I wasn’t certain what to expect. But being a female, why would they feel comfortable with putting me in the room with three other. I didn’t get reassigned until almost 12:00 AM just to end up get bitten up by bed bugs. This was the most horrendous experience? Definitely not recommend
Cole
Not a good stay lots of homeless
Barry
It was fine
Kali
Its been a good stay. Ppl stay to themselves and things have been pretty quiet. My room has been comfortable.
Jeremy
It was ok but it was just loud
Dora
The building itself looks great and new. The common area (the kitchen) was just like on the photos- new, clean and spacious.
However, the room I was in was clearly not maintained well as well as not being properly cleaned and inspected. Starting from the lockers which are located behind sliding mirrored doors which are falling apart and, quite frankly, I wouldnt be surprised if they fall off the hinges one day (hopefully not on a guest). The bed bunk i was allocated to was not properly cleaned as there was someone's used water bottle, dirty make up pad, and some seeds right between the wall and the matress. Also, on top part of the bunk (you could call it a ceiling) there were massive stains on them as if there was some kind of liquid spilled on the bunk bed above. All in all this would be an amazing hostel if they made an effort to fix it and maintain it.

My home away from home. Such an awesome community
Ana
The place is great and feels safe. I am a female solo traveling and my time of arrival was close to midnight so I'm glad there is plenty of lighting. I also contacted the property management for entry and was immediately replied to. The only downside is the smell of weed and sweat. Everything else is great.
Ernestine
One of the better hostels in LA. Prompt response from host. Easy check-in as long as you upload ID. Mostly clean expect the fl of female dorm bathroom. Only one bathroom for female dorm. Nice, well-stocked kitchen w/several pots, utensils etc. Only an uncomfortable bench available for indoor seating. Can't sit on the patio chairs in the back b/c of discarded cigarettes all over the ground & guests throw things from patio. Mostly long-term residents there. Wifi not the best.
Melanie
Give it a miss if you're after cleaniness
The hostel clearly only puts positive reviews up. The room was adequate for my stay and quiet but the community kitchen was atrocious and the kitchen sink remained blocked and putrid my entire 4 night stay. I contacted only by text message to convey uncleanness and they said their team would take care of it. NO! They failed to give me info on wifi connection and an app had control of the laundry.??? Hot water for a shower was only just warm enough not to add any cold into the mix. No real person to actually have a conversation with was sighted.I only saw the bad reviews after I arrived unfortunately. It was quiet and reasonably convenient location for my needs but many homeless on the streets and I didn't feel safe to leave anything of value in my room because they wouldn't explain the same code for the front door and my room. How do they know who's coming in?

Great place for the money.
Susan
very modern lots of fridge space and clean. I believe it is suited more to the gay community.
Shawn
Good value.
Very nice. Good value
Ricardo
The room could use a television but everything was perfect.
Jairo I
Everything was good except that the bathroom situation wasn’t the best experience. One bathroom for to many occupants are not the best. Of course you get what you paid for. Everything else was good.
Amanda
Area is close to popular things and street parking is free and okay to find but otherwise this property is a joke. I made my reservation and told them I needed ground floor/lower bunk because I am disabled. When I booked my dorm I mistakenly booked a 3rd floor room because that detail is buried in the description and not obvious so I missed it, and KNOWING I’m disabled they could’ve reached out to me to correct it but they didn’t. When I arrived for check in, someone was already asleep in my assigned bunk and had their things scattered around the bed. I texted the staff because they have no rep on site if issues arrive. No clerk, no attendants, no security. The staff person was very rude and basically implied I was lying and when I sent them a photo of the bunk being occupied they told me to wake the person up and ask their name. Obviously I’m not going to do that and I told them I didn’t feel safe doing so since I’m a single woman traveling alone and was staying in a mixed-gender room, I didn’t know who was sleeping in that bunk. They were rude to me and finally got back to me saying that another girl had gotten into my bed by mistake but they had texted her telling her to move to her own bed. I said that I didn’t want to sleep in a bed she’d just been sleeping in and they said they’d told her to change the sheets. This is crazy unprofessional. There was also a high dude in the yard screaming half the night.

Very nice and simple
John
Very clean and modern, but this place is bland and clinical. Biggest problem is there is no onsite parking- you have to search hard to get street parking and that may not be near the property. The only furniture in the room is the bed and a nightstand. There is no bedside lamp so you can’t read a book and there’s no TV so I can’t plug in my computer. It wasn’t my thing at all.

Was way to hot in the house. Shower was dirty

Normandie Hostel was a fantastic choice for my stay in Los Angeles. The modern facilities were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The hostel's central location made it easy to explore the city's attractions, and I felt safe and secure throughout my stay.

Incredible hostel.

Absolutely loved it.
For a hostel I was definitely hesitant, but the service and cleanliness there was amazing. Recommend this place one hundred percent.

Great, well-run hostel.
Clean, nicely organized hostel. For me, it was very quiet and comfortable (given that the beds are part of a small structure supporting 4 people in a room). Nevertheless, it was adequate with light and usb charging even though A/C power was only available from wall outlet which likely means an extension cord if you require it. Parking for vehicle is sufficient if you arrive before work day ends, otherwise, it could be a challenge.
Mischa
Basic but Adequate
A little out of the way, the area was quiet. A local friend pointed out some indicators that it was not the best (safest) neighborhood; I found it enjoyable and interesting.
The service itself was fairly nonexistent - the owner rarely replied, it was difficult to find out how to use or locate anything; there were no TVs, furniture was extremely minimal, and the blinds let in the sunlight.

Pretty Exterior, Poor Amenity
Nice new units, spacious room, furnished without any logic or consideration of the guest’s comfort or amenity: e.g. double bed (cot really, on a flimsy metal frame) with only *one* bedside table!? Huge mirrored walk-in wardrobe, *with NO coat hangers* !? Small balcony, but nil table nor chairs in the room. No TV at all; and the curtains were the opposite of ‘blackout’ - every morning at dawn light flooded the room, I didn’t have a decent night’s sleep my entire stay. There were no additional blankets or pillows either, nil contact with the owner, and very poor response from him.
The kitchen was nice - large microwave, stove etc. - with negligible crockery or cutlery. Again, negligible contact with or from ‘management’ - the only redeeming feature was the lovely housekeeper.

Really clean place to work and relax. The private suite mattress was cozy and provided a great night’s rest. Thank you!
Cambrinette
I was greeted immediately by a guest who offered to help me with my bags & a staff member who confirmed my reservation. The area & house was clean. The bedroom has a privacy curtain for each bed. The kitchen had your basics except it didn't have a microwave. They do enforce quiet hours after 10pm, but even during the day it's pretty quiet. The neighborhood can be a little off putting to some, but it's down the street from the bus & if you drive it's in a central location to a lot of places (food & fun).
Amanda
Not bad in a pinch, great location.
Street parking was easy and free, and easy to get into the hostel itself, instructions very clear. I stayed in all-female room. When I checked myself in, my bed did not have pillows, blanket, or any bedding except the fitted sheet on the mattress. Could not find any additional linens, towels, anything at all. Kitchen was filthy when I arrived, spilled food in fridge, no basics at all on hand including bottled water that I could find. Bunk had USB port but no electric outlet to charge, luckily I had a cable adapter that worked. Bathroom was clean but trash can was overflowing when I arrived at 4 pm. The other girls in the room were loud, left their stuff everywhere and filled the entire closet. No locking cabinets or storage to put your stuff securely, just a closet that everyone shares so your stuff is never safe if unattended. Also, our room did not have a fan, people on balcony were smoking marijuana and it made our room reek like it. However, convenient location, very cheap, and I would stay here again if I was traveling very light. Definitely bring noise cancelling earplugs or headphones, and a USB charger. Also bring your own towel and pillow.

Excellent Stay. 10/10
