Overall, my stay was good.
The check-in was smooth, the staff were super kind, attentive.
Suggestion: have daily cleaning in the rooms, pay attention to the rules inside the rooms especially about food and keep the door closed.
it was amazing. they don’t let people from LA stay or anyone without a proof of travel. and it makes such a good difference from other hostels in LA. i met travelers from New Zealand and Australia during my stay in room E. Staff is also was very friendly ✨🙏

The staff was exceptional and attentive to all my needs. Being from Hawaii, they showed Aloha all the way until me departure. I'm an actor and was in your for my film festival feature and the restful sleep was great!
I stayed at the Rumi Hostel for two nights and I loved the atmosphere and how comfortable the bedroom and living room were, as well as the convenience of the complimentary breakfast. It was great value and worth the stay. The metro stop was also close by as well as good visiting sites. I would definitely like to come back here again whenever I visit LA next time!
Everything Was Amazing From the Room to the Room mates respectfulness of ur individual property .. the Staff very Welcoming and aprroachable . The over atmosphere of the Rumi Is 10/10 U get exactly what y see with this hostel
It's a small facility, but it's a perfect spot for traveling solo, I stayed to attend a concert nearby. There are a lot of plants in the outdoor area which makes it feel like an oasis in contrast to the usual LA smog. Kitchen is well equipped, quite clean, overall a great value. Highly recommended.

I've known about the Rumi for years but this was my first time staying. I'm glad I did. You can't beat the location if you need something in central Los Angeles or Koreatown. The facilities and property was clean and quirky. Easy access to public transportation/metro. Would definitely stay again.
Excellent Staff! Congrats girls, always very friendly, kind and polite!
Good location in Koreantown, close to Wilshire Western Station, Downtown Los Angeles, supermarket, shops.
Good Wi-fi signal, delicious free breakfast with Nutella and some rooms have confortable beds.
Clean roooms and bathrooms.
Reception's girls are friendly and polite. Good kitchen and delicious free breakfast. Room and bathrooms were clean, but my bed was very unconfortable.
Location is great, close to the shops, restaurants, supermarket and Wishire Western Metro Station, which is only three stations to Downtown Los Angeles.
