THE STEADY HOSTEL

I was mortified. I wasn’t even going to leave a review, I was giving them a chance to remedy the situation and make it right, but they refused to do so. This place is disgusting, from the front door to the bed. The staff is not helpful, whatsoever, they speak as if they’re an automated person. The bathroom was awful, bugs everywhere, mysterious spots, hair clumps in the shower, the room was dirty and there was a foul odor that didn’t seem safe to inhale, it was so strong and toxic I couldn’t sleep there, I left and slept in my car. I took pictures of how nasty it was and wish I could post them. Dirt on the walls in the pod, the pillow was old and yellow, the sheets were dirty and smelled bad, there was also some hard brown substance left under my sheet, I almost threw up at the site of it. It was awful. Do not stay here, there’s hostels all over that area that are better and cheaper. They are a joke and should be shut down, it’s so bad I’m calling the health department, no one should have to live in those conditions, not even for a night. Please be cautious, especially if you’re a WOMAN! I was in the bathroom and the staff thought it would be a good idea to bring a man in to show him around, while I’m exposed, no knocking or anything. Don’t waste your money. This place is absolute trash.

RESPONSE:

I’m actually really happy you responded, it made me recover the photos and come back to this review and finally was able to add them. Say what you want about my PERSONAL feelings and speculations on how my day was going, I get you have to justify your actions and defend your business, cool, but your hostel is still disgusting, with or without my PERSONAL opinion. And extort you for a $30 stay? lol please, you sound ridiculous. Who wouldn’t want some type of accommodation after being set up with such a NASTY establishment, that I didn’t even sleep in?!

My name is Ami, but all my friends call me Ami-Grace. I've never felt humiliated like I have, especially by another immigrant. It was very cold today in Los Angeles, so I asked a staff member if I could get an extension cord to keep the heat closer to me, as the window was open. The humane thing to do would have been to reply "yes, absolutely", let me do that for you, but instead she was so rude she literally tried to talk down to me. She spent 30 minutes on the phone trying to convince the manager, who isn't even on site, to refuse to give me the extension cord, just to see me get cold. I really hope and pray that she finds peace and happiness because she's very unhappy. Oh and she told me "you are leaving tomorrow". Aka I wish I can kick you out. I'm going to leave fine but make sure you hire people with heart because I'm sure that hers is replaced with a rock instead of a heart. I wish her the best and happiness because she is very unhappy. She literally told me I hate you but she doesn't even know me.

Nice workers, didnt like the location. Too many homeless and wierd people around

The steady hostel is a very good hostel. The staff does a very good job at making everybody feel welcome. The place is very clean. The beds are comfortable. The place has free breakfast. The place offered free walking tours, and also ideas for a night out. The music was nice and overall I would highly recommend. Israel, Simona, Terry, Lubna, Fernando and the rest of the staff were all awesome people!

Sometimes people take the wrong towel. It would be nice to have long racks to dry towels, but there aren't any, so all the towels are hung up and they mold and smell. No air circulation in the rooms, so you can smell everyone else.

Also there are not floor cleaning in the rooms, so the rooms have definitely seen better time, maybe when they first opened, it looked like the pictures.
