The Rosemary - Hostel in Los Angeles - 4514 Fountain Ave, USA

My boyfriend and I needed last minute lodging and had a great stay. I didn't realize there was a self check in until we arrived, but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Coincidentally some of our favorite places in LA were just around the corner. There are plenty of food and drink options on Sunset Blvd and all within walking distance. We loved the design aesthetic on the B side. It was cozy and quiet. There were two clean full bathrooms available. The room was comfy and on the small side but perfect for an overnight. A great value for our stay. If you're looking for a 5⭐ hotel experience service this probably isn't the place for you. The Rosemary was like staying at a friend's house while they are out of town. My only suggestion is improving the electric socket plates in the room (Rm 5). I was trying to charge my phone but it was difficult to get a snug fit into the socket. (No euphemisms here) Regardless I'd stay at Rosemary again.

I have to point out how much help, kindness and flexibility I got from the manager and the staff, they were all about providing me comfort and a pleasant experience, which is exceptional. I am very grateful for them. We stayed one night at The Rosemary, which was overall a pleasant experience: the hostel is clean, the bathroom is immaculate, the staff is very very helpful, the room temperature was very pleasant, the only downside is that the walls are paperthin.

We loved our stay at the Rosemary! It's in a great location with plenty of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops around. Was perfect for our show at the Greek Theatre and we hiked all the way up from the hostel up to the Griffith Observatory one day. We booked directly through the Rosemary and communication was fast and clear throughout the experience. There are two sides to the hostel, A and B, and we requested to be placed on the same side as our friends who were also booking a room, which the Rosemary was happy to accommodate. Self check-in was super easy. Side B was lovely! Clean facilities, interesting decor, and options for water, coffee and tea. Included a nice shared area to play cards and drink wine in the evening. The rooms are on the small side, but it didn't bother us — we didn't spend much time in there and they were big enough for what we needed. Overall, we felt it was a very unique, well-maintained place to stay in the perfect location & more fun than staying in a normal hotel. Great value for the money!

I was a little hesitant about this place and there was absolutely no need to be. Such a cool hostel with great amenities (tea, coffee, even toothbrushes and razors). All the guests were quiet and respectful. Lots of food in close walking distance, and we also walked to the Griffith Observatory (~an hour). Would easily stay here again!

Interesting hotel/hostel. It is like an antique shop/boutique hotel inside. Beautiful decor, mysterious also which makes you travel in your own travel. All was very clean, 2 bathrooms where we were staying, with a nice shower. There was free coffee and water fountain, big positive. Overall I would love to go back as it was a fantastic experience. Had room number 5

This was the most romantic surprise from my Husband 😍 We had a wonderful time at The Rosemary. What a beautiful place !! We even cooked a fancy dinner for two. It has a full kitchen. And the hot tub in the room was such a splendid surprise with the cutest little accommodations. The bath salts smelled amazing. The perfect lil cozy spot for two. We appreciate the wonderful stay. The whole house was nostalgic and a delightful stay. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to have a memorable night.

Before you fall in love with the photos, consider the following: Shared bathroom and having to go upstairs means a room should cost $65, not $145. It's bathroom and shower in one, so your neighbor may be taking a long shower when you have to go. That cute spiraling staircase is annoying when people upstairs are coming and going. Noisy intersection with no insulated walls. Feels like you're in a box with plywood walls. A small AC unit on the wall just can't cool the room. We left after 4 hours and moved to another hotel. It was that bad.

The water pressures needs to be turned up! It took three flushes on the toilet before finally my water went away! And everytime I went into the bathroom it looked like it was clogged because the flush is so weak! Taking a shower was also bad! It made things take longer because of how weak the shower was with no way to adjust it. The rest of the hotel is fine. Very pretty.
