Journey House Hostel Echo Park

rooms were great, and the staff was great.

that is couldn’t stay longer (or get there sooner)

It was everything you can wish for as a solo traveler. Good bed, good housing, clean area and close to the bus/ train line

I've stayed at several hostels over the years, and this is one of the best ones. It may very well be the best one. The beds are full twin size beds, none of them are bunk beds (that I've seen), the mattresses are all comfortable, the air conditioning Works, which is a refreshing surprise, the refrigerators are large and not stuffed to the max with food, the wifi is fast, and best of all, the house is Quiet, with no loud parties or guests arguing late at night. Also, no bed bugs or problems with flies and mosquitoes, which is very surprising, as this is mosquito season.

The front gate sticks and is difficult to open; this can be fixed. The parking in the neighborhood is very tight, and you may not find parking on the street very easily. The living room and kitchen are not air conditioned, but if they put a large box fan in each of the windows, I think that would help bring the room temperature down.

The manager he was nice but some things should be fixed , the door lock didn’t work for the private room so we felt unsafe . The rest was ok the room had an ac so it wasn’t that bad

The mattress was super hard uncomfortable , it smelled weird . Lock didn’t work you could still open the door even if it was locked
