Honestly it’s great if you’re stopping by and quick in and out. The bathrooms are a bit aged and so is the property but it gets the job done. I thought the breakfasts were going to be premade but you have to make them yourself. No real issues the staff were super friendly and nice! I would definitely come back again if I need to be in the area

Amazing location and stay, 10 minute walk from the D line. Staff went above and beyond to correct a mistake I made by selecting the wrong dorm and were able to get me a room regardless. Room was clean, beds were clean and the place was secure. Very much so recommend staying here 10/10.

I really loved my stay at the Rumi Hostel. I met nice people and felt safe during my entire stay. The bed hurt my back, I believe it may not have been firm enough. Other than that, it really was a beautiful stay. I’d like to come back some day soon.

As far as hostels go, it is very clean, safe, quiet, friendly staff, very affordable. Has a kitchen & light breakfast. Within a few blocks of the subway at Wilshire/Western. As well as several bus routes. 2 blocks from a Ralph's grocery store. Plenty of Asian restaurants & a McDonalds within walking distance. Within walking distance of a transit bus to Santa Monica Pier. One block from a transit bus up to Hollywod Blvd & Western. Hostel is conveniently located for getting to many places. It also has a gate locked at night with a code used to get back in. Only negative. Would be nice if it had laundry facilities like some other hostels I've stayed at do
