La PodLife offers a unique hostel experience
La PodLife offers a unique hostel experience that blends futuristic design with budget-conscious accommodations. The sleeping pods are primarily twin-bed size, and the hostel's strict rules ensure an immaculately clean environment throughout. The entire space is illuminated with the glow of blue LEDs, creating a distinctly Sci-Fi ambiance. The staff's helpfulness, particularly their willingness to accommodate my late arrival, made a positive impression. While the shared bathrooms and limited pod storage might not be everyone's cup of tea, the option to upgrade to a private room with a queen-size pod, private closet and bathroom significantly elevates the experience. I highly recommend this option, especially for taller guests or those seeking more privacy and comfort. The communal areas, including a kitchenette and exercise room, offer basic amenities, although the cooking restrictions in the kitchenette are worth noting. Overall, La PodLife is a solid choice for solo travelers or those seeking a unique and affordable stay. The twin pods might be a tight squeeze for some, but the private rooms provide a comfortable and convenient alternative.

Light Show Hostel
Great stay and excellent host and amenities. The whole staff from Kevin to the owner and cleaners deserve a raise and incentive. Best hostel I ever stayed at, it is like traveling to another world. Like reading a book, playing a video game, and or watching a movie you get transported to another plane. Something unique and different.

Liked: Staff & service
I stayed there for a few days. The staff on property, Kevin, was very nice and helpful! He was the best part of staying there. Everything else is basically trash. The neighborhood is… interesting to say the least. You’re not allowed to eat in the pod kitchen, not even snacks. You have to go all the way to the main kitchen- which is in another building. You can’t leave ANYTHING- not even slippers. It’s freezing in there all the time, but you’re not allowed to turn down the air conditioning. It’s also been quite sometime and they have yet to give my deposit back, which I paid through cashapp of all things. Seriously, this place is not worth $100 bucks a night.

The host of this hotel was super communicative and friendly! It felt as though we were staying at a friends house rather than a hotel! The place is a quiet zone 24/7 which makes the living situation so much nicer. Everything was spotless and clean on arrival and each day the rooms were tidied to always look their best! Will definitely be visiting here again!

I loved staying at LA PodLife! The hosts are very communicative and helpful whenever you need anything. The place was very clean, guests were very respectful, and they had very cool amenities. I was traveling alone, so one of my main concerns was safety and comfortably, but I didn’t have any issues with that! It was overall a great experience, I would definitely stay here again!

I love the place
I love the services from Kevin and Chris, they both are great to me. The place is very clean and it’s a very luxury capsule hotel which I love. I met cool people who are going to Anime Expo. It’s worth it, I have great experiences here. Thank you Kevin and Chris for being nice and trying your best to do everything as you guys can. If you are traveling solo to anime expo, I would recommend this place if you are okay with outside of the place.

Place is great if you are looking for a place to sleep and don't mind sharing other things like a bathroom. The main problem is that it's an area that has a lot of homeless people living nearby....

It was a unique experience staying in a pod in LA. I enjoyed my stay. The staff was great and the property was very clean. The neighborhood surrounding the property was a little off putting when I first arrived but I quickly was made to feel safe and comfortable once I was inside the property itself.
