Stayed a couple of nights in LA at Podshare. AMAZING, best hostel i have ever seen. Get your own pod with power, TV, Free WiFi etc etc. The small amount of people staying there means you get to know them really well and make some friends to explore the city. Hollywood itself I didnt like, but staying here made it awesome. Helpful staff, cool people, safe area 5/5.

Totally thought PodShare was a complete scam at first but turned out to be the best 5 days in LA. So convenient to majorsights and attractions, but believe me that didn't matter as much as the people you meet at the Pod!

Although the idea is cool, this hostel is not for everyone. It's a flat with 10 pods and some people sleeping on the floor and ONLY ONE bathroom! Some of the guests keep talking all night and weekends are noisy because of the party going on next door. And the lights never go out (and people watch TV all the time). I felt trapped on my pod, because there was barely any space for me+my bag. If you don't mind not sleeping (and having to use earplugs and a sleeping mask), go ahead!

The location of Podshare was great. The staff were great and friendly. The actual pods were nice too. So there were two main issues that I had with Podshare. The first issue was on my last night there, other podestrians were drinking and partying while I as trying to get to sleep. Podshare needs a quiet time that beings from midnight at minimum. Secondly, one toilet and shower was not enough especially in the morning when everyone need to relieve themselves.

The staff here is so amazing and makes you feel like family immediately! Such a good vibe from everyone who worked and stayed there. You don't need to worry about bringing anything except for clothes and a toothbrush! You are given everything you need. If you want to party and have a good time then I definitely recommend podshare !!!

My friends and I had an amazing stay at Podshare. By far the best hostel any of us have stayed at, being there was a highlight of our trip. The staff quickly became friends and we loved all the travellers we met!

Absolutely loved Podshare. Definitely reccommend it for anybody who wants to stay right where all the action is happening in Hollywood. The staff were beyond friendly, and didn't mind us partying and having a good time. Nothing but good things to say about this hostel.
