At San Marino guest house, reviews frequently highlight very clean spaces and friendly, helpful staff, alongside drawbacks like basic, hostel-style accommodations, noise from other guests, limited parking, and communication issues around check-in or gate codes.
Shared facilities are simple, with a kitchen short on cookware and occasional stove restrictions, small common areas without a TV, and some reports of missing lockers or nonlocking dorm doors and sporadic Wi-Fi or AC issues. The location suits Koreatown and public transit, though some guests felt the surrounding area was less appealing. Best for budget travelers comfortable with a bare-bones, shared setup.

The lady I checked in was nice. I just didn’t like that they didn’t have parking you had to find your own parking around the area. Other than that everything was good.

The private room was a very nice place to stay in. Other people staying in the other rooms are accommodating to one another on loudness and keeping the shared kitchen clean. At the moment the stove isn’t working so that was pretty inconvenient being we brought food to cook. Parking around the area is also very limited, no parking lot. Staff was very helpful and sweet. Would stay again despite the little things.

Positives: Kitchen & ground fl bathroom were relatively clean. Peaceful little backyard. Close to public transportation & center of K-town. Negatives: Cramped rms. Noisy, ghetto people staying on the ground fl long-term (blasted rap/gospel music in the rm & talked loudly on the phone in the rm at all hrs). Guests can't use the stove. No dishes, pots etc in the kitchen. Wifi not working (I tried several times to connect but couldn't). Lackluster customer service from elderly lady working & living there. She also gave me a towel that had stains & a hole in it.

No storage lockers so you can't keep your valuables safe (they said that they are ordering them and the whole place appeared to be under construction). No real reception area. Kitchen has no dishes. Bathrooms and kitchen weren't the cleanest, even though the building is new. Dorm room doors have no locks on them. Hangout area is one tiny table. Not a comfortable space and I left after one night.

30$/day too much for the hostel. 1. Poor check-in organization. No one answered the phone. They didn't send the gate code. 2. The building is new. My room had 10 beds and only 1 bathroom. The room was small, and I could reach the beds on both sides. 3.

The biggest issue was finding parking. I arrive late at night (after 9 pm) and I drove around the entire area looking for a space and settled for one that was about 1/2 mile away. The kitchen was fine, but I only used the refrigerator. It worked well. The room was adequate, but sparse. No place to hang up clothes on hangers, no chair, and the shower curtain was 1 foot off the floor, so water splashes out of the enclosure. One full sized towel was provided, but no soap for the shower, no hand towel, no wash rag and no toilet paper dispenser. Very clean and the entire place is new. The shared space could use a couch and a larger table and more chairs. There is no TV anywhere.

This place seems to be intended as a long term low cost boarding house with no amenities. Which is fine if expectations were aligned, but I found it on google presented as a 3-star hotel/inn. There is no sound proofing and I can hear phone text message alerts upstairs.

Quiet but very bare place in the middle of K-town. No decorations. No trash cans in bathrooms. Kitchen only has plastic cups & paper plates. Shared room I was in was spacious, air-conditioned & had view of DTLA. Mattress & pillow seemed new. Mostly clean, except for bathroom floors. Russian girls working there don't mop the floors or knock before entering rooms.

Building seems brand new, nice bathroom and bed was comfortable. Could use more thought out amenities. Received towels and toilet paper but many overlooked details. Could use bins in bathroom and hooks for hanging towels, there was no hand towel, no shower ledge for placing items or soap and shampoo. Nice space and clean but very bare bones. Area seems safe.

This stay was terrible. We couldn’t sleep due to everybody else that was screaming past 11 P.M. disrespectful and waking up at all hours of the night. They need to increase the prices of the stay here because they are attracting clients who don’t understand Mutual respect when you are in a co shared space. The manager of the building was neutral. We let her know that our stay was terrible, and she let us know that it was better than driving through the night. :/ The shower is slippery. We let the manager know. The place is new, so the amenities are brand new, and I’m not sure how long that will stay that way. Given the client tell they’re attracting.

Although two of us arrived early for checking in to the private room by 2:00pm, the property manager arrived late and we had to check-in at 3:00pm. The housekeeper was amazingly accommodating and a hard worker, she let us stay in the common areas to avoid the heat while we waited. She made arrival much more pleasant of an experience.

The service was great. Leah the check-in person, is very kind and helpful. However, we had a huge issue with other guests’ behavior. This is a shared space and some of the other guests were insanely disrespectful and disruptive. On Wednesday night (our first night) the other occupants were in the shared kitchen making excessive noise from 2-4 AM! This pattern continued through the rest of the nights there. On Friday, a guest went into a rage a was screaming at Leah and just losing her mind. Banging on doors and screaming and screeching about “stolen money”. Not to mention the housekeepers loudly discussing the that some guests left BEDBUGS behind. We were planning on extending our sta but clearly did not. Unfortunate because the first time we stayed here we had no issues.

They gave away my RESERVED & PAID room to other guests and instead put me in a room with 7 other people. It was co-ed and there was a drunk man, I felt unsafe. There is no way to contact them at all. Their phone is full so you can’t even leave a message. I requested a refund and they have not approved this. Avoid if you can.

I wish I could share a positive experience, but I had quite the hassle with this property. A few weeks before my check-in date, my plans changed, and I needed to cancel my reservation. I tried reaching out to the hotel multiple times to get a refund for my expedia credit, but nobody responded. I even had Expedia step in to help, and they couldn't get through either. It’s really frustrating not getting any communication back when you’re trying to resolve something like this. Since I never stayed there, I can't comment on the room or the amenities, but the lack of response from the management left me feeling disappointed. I just hope others have better luck than I did!

Since I never stayed there, I can't comment on the room or the amenities, but the lack of response from the management left me feeling disappointed. I just hope others have better luck than I did!

The lady I checked in was nice. I just didn’t like that they didn’t have parking you had to find your own parking around the area. Other than that everything was good.

The private room was a very nice place to stay in. Other people staying in the other rooms are accommodating to one another on loudness and keeping the shared kitchen clean. At the moment the stove isn’t working so that was pretty inconvenient being we brought food to cook. Parking around the area is also very limited, no parking lot. Staff was very helpful and sweet. Would stay again despite the little things.

Positives: Kitchen & ground fl bathroom were relatively clean. Peaceful little backyard. Close to public transportation & center of K-town. Negatives: Cramped rms. Noisy, ghetto people staying on the ground fl long-term (blasted rap/gospel music in the rm & talked loudly on the phone in the rm at all hrs). Guests can't use the stove. No dishes, pots etc in the kitchen. Wifi not working (I tried several times to connect but couldn't). Lackluster customer service from elderly lady working & living there. She also gave me a towel that had stains & a hole in it.

The staff was amazing. And the house couldn't be any cleaner. However, they are in an inconvenient location. I had to Uber everywhere.

I very much enjoyed my stay at the San Marino Guest House. While some of the other guests weren’t as polite as I’d’ve wanted them to be 😀, the staff were excellent. The place was kept very clean at all times and they were responsive to my needs. Overall a great stay.

Great location, great room, staff, ect. The only thing that was no good was. That the stove isn't functional and there is no way to cook. No hotplate, just microwave. Great for a night sleep, but to stay for days , better love takeout

The AC worked great and staff was nice. There's no TV in the rooms or even the shared space so bring your own entertainment.
