A little more niceness would work
I like the location and the layout of the area is pretty good but all the staff live on the same floor as the pods so they are there consistently day and night. You never know if they’re on duty call of duty, and the information they provide doesn’t cover all the interruptions that happen during your stay.

Hi Donald, we are sorry you did not have a pleasant experience. To clarify any confusion regarding our staff hours, they are on shift during business hours only (10am-11pm). We hope that you enjoy your experience much more if you were to try PodShare again. :)

PodShare Los Feliz was unsatisfactory. The listing is a bit deceiving image-wise and unprofessional. I might try a different Podshare location next time. The young lady checking me in did not seem equipped to address my concerns with her taking my credit card and taking a picture of my ID. A record they have all the way back to 2018. So people's ID pictures were just on an iPad with anyone able to walk up and have access to them. I had a reservation so I was definitely going to show up. No one bothered to clear the selection that was supposedly mine in the fridge. Therefore, I had no fridge space when I arrived. Some random person banged on the door in the middle of the night about getting their stuff. I was confused about why that was happening, but it interrupted the quiet hours she stressed to me so much and she didn't even adhere. The place appears to haven't gotten an update in a while. This would have been fine as a hostel if it weren't for the lack of cleanliness causing me to get bitten by bed bugs. I have pictures. I went into the hostel fine and woke up with bites after night 1. I thought it was weird but thought maybe I got a mosquito bite. The following day I had more bites than I did before and a swollen eye from bites. Keep in mind I covered the hostel pillows with my own brand-new pillowcases. I still got bitten up. Lastly, this place was sort of difficult to find. I had to call someone because the entrance is just a door on the corner with no sign.

The check in process was fast and convenient. You can come and go as you please. There was no toilet paper and I saw some roaches in the kitchen. The bed was a bit uncomfortable and it was warm.

Not as pictured. Kinda scary.
Reality versus the pictures are very different. It was dark and dingy, the kitchen was not very clean, I was scared to walk around without shoes, the people were very sketch, at one point during the night there were six people sleeping at the dining room table in the middle of the night. It was an….experience.

Clean & Efficient & Easy Check-In 🏁🍀
I ended up transfering to the Pod Share property DTLA, for no other reason than it was closer to my client in Little Tokyo. The DTLA spot was clean, efficient, hospitable, and low drama. The RA / Manager runs a tight ship. Check in was quick yet thorough. This comminal enviornment successfully navigates accomadating the night crawlers while ensuring the business / lower key guests have a chill expeirence. Not easy to do, but the guy in charge has got it down to a science. A great location in the heart of the Arts District and the facility is safe and secure. Well done Pod Share DTLA.

Great for CHLA
My son was having surgery at CHLA. Being from Ventura I was looking for a place to stay during his visit. Only one parent was aloud to stay overnight due to Covid. This place was perfect. Not even a 10 min walk from the entrance of CHLA. I called ahead and asked about parking. Only street parking was available. I ended up buying a parking pass for CHLA. Every night as I was leaving I would go to my car and grab what I needed for the night. It wasn’t I didn’t trust my stuff from getting stolen, it was just easier to take my backpack. They have quiet hours but you can come and go at any time. It was great being so close to the hospital. I would call every morning to see if my son needed anything special from vons that was on the way. Only ended up being there to sleep so I didn’t feel like I wasted money on a whole hotel room. (The closest hotel had really bad reviews). Booking and check in were super easy. When I picked my pod they write my name on the board above it. I would definitely stay again if I and down at CHLA overnight. I had my own area in the fridge for my stuff and they had community shelves. Any parent needing a place to stay if you child is in the hospital I would definitely recommend this place. There was nothing close to the price and location around.

Looks good in pictures...even nicer in person!
This PodShare Is a very cool place! It’s decorated like a rustic cabin and very much feels like you’re on a camping trip while you’re there. The facility is extremely clean and modern and there’s a well-equipped communal kitchen if you like to save some coin by making your own food instead of eating out. It’s definitely much nicer than hotels nearby that are 2-3x’s the price.

The location was very convenient and had good places to eat. The property has good amenities. The staff member (Drew )was so in unprofessional. I didn't appreciate him burping loud every time he walked by my bed, it was beyond gross. I asked him to fix the light fixture and could not get it done, I had to do it myself. I would not recommend this place if he still works there.

OK if you don't get claustrophobic easily
I ended up not staying there upon my arrival. The hotel manager was very nice, but I got claustrophobic upon entering the PodShare. It didn't appear like the photos on your website. Parking was quite difficult too. I have stayed in many hostels but this one was dark, with a lot of luggage strewn across the floor.

My star ratings are based on what I paid. Los Feliz Podshare is not a five star hotel. But for what I paid it was an excellent value. Staff was very friendly and helpful, other guests were friendly, and most importantly the bed was very comfortable and the bathrooms were clean! First time staying in a hostel would definitely do it again at Los Feliz Podshare.

Comfortable & Convenient
I was shocked upon check-in to learn the place is “co-ed” but prob due to my not throughly reading all info before booking. No privacy at all but the place was quiet & guests & staff were nice & respectful. Was not thrilled with the weird satanic painting on entire side of building as I approached the property. Overall, a good spot with Del Taco, Wendy’s & McDonald’s a few blocks away. Very cool that each pod is provided its own TV & remote with free streaming TV & movies. I felt safe there.

It was very clean and comfortable. If you don't mind if there was no privacy (because there is no curtain for each pod), it must be a good stay. And it was really cheap. The place is close to the Metro train station, and the DASH Observatory bus stop. So, it is a good place to go sightseeing. One problem I noticed is about a bathroom. There was no shelf or thing to put my cloth, and a floor was flat. So it was hard to keep my cloth from wetting.
