The Rumi

"Hidden gem in Koreatown! Very kind and welcoming staff. The vibe was very peaceful/private and I enjoyed the spacious balcony, especially during the mornings. The artwork and poetry throughout the building adds a creative and uplifting energy. Free light breakfast and coffee offered. Met other friendly travelers who shared kind words and smiles. Perfect for a quick stay, especially if you want to explore Koreatown."

"I stayed 5 nights in the Rumi. It was a great experience! I want to share it! Let’s start from the +++ positive sides: 1. The room is getting clean everyday 2. There is a toilet paper every day 3. They provide a free breakfast 4. They also have free hot drinks 5. They give you a label to sign your food 6. Each bed has a socket and lamp 7. People aren’t allowed to eat in the room. Then, the --- negative sides: 1. There is no laundry 2. They ask you to show some documents to proof that you are a traveler and not going to extend your stay. And the neutral 000 sides: 1. If you want to use your own mug, you will have to carry it around with you. On the first day I left mine in the kitchen and never saw it again. 2. You need to bring your own padlock or pay for a rental one. Anyway, in total, there is much more good things. I definitely recommend this place!"

"All of the hostels I have stayed at, this is the best one. Location in near downtown and close metro station is excellent. The staff is very cooperative. Its a well made hostel, especially the front and backyards are a nice place to sit for dinner and to scolaise with different people. The kitchen is also very well equiped, including toaster, coffee machine etc. They also provide free breakfast, although the timing of it could be better The staff to clean washrooms comes early morning so by the time people start using them, they're already clean and restocked with toilet rolls. Definitely recommended"

"It’s a nice hostel which gets cleaned daily! I would really recommend staying here because there is also the metro and some bus stations in the area. It’s close to downtown LA and not so far from Hollywood. Santa Monica and Venice Beach could be reached in something over one hour."
