It bothers me that people have been so negative about the Kawada Hotel. It is NOT the Hilton chain, or the Sheraton's chain - but, if I wanted that sort of hotel, I would go there. So, please when deciding on what sort of hotel you want don't rubbish the hotels that give you good service and are in an... More

First I arrived in the dead of night and even though I had a reservation, I was forced to pay for an extra day for 6 hours. Later that day I was moved to a different room and it was worst than the first. The "Double" room consisted of a single against one wall and a roll away shoved next... More

The Kawada is located at the top of Hill Street at the corner of Hill and 2d. It is a block from the superior court and the county administration buildings, which makes it an ideal location if you have busness at either place. Two blocks the other way is the Ronald Reagan State Building, Two blocks up 2d is the... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights after arriving from a 13 hour flight. Well, what can I say. The area wasn't what you would call terrific. Did not feel safe. The actual hotel had one good point. The lobby was cosy and clean and staff were okay. When we got to our room, we just laughed. It... More

My husband, 10yr old daughter and I stayed here for 9 nights. It was a small room with a double bed and rollaway bed for our daughter. Adequate, clean, dated accomodation, with fridge and over the tub, bath-shower. We found the location to be ideal for exploring in and around LA. However, the walls are thin and people coming and...

I stayed at the Kawada Hotel for 10 days, biggest mistake of my life! From the outside the hotel looks ok for the money, but as you get further in it get worse. Most of the staff are somewhat friendly. Now for the rooms, small and dirty, there is a dirty big A/c along side the bed, the fridge is... More

It's surely not the best place you can find if you have the money, but it's cleary an average hotel if you want to stay in L.A. Downtown for only a couple of days. It's really near the Grand Central Market and you can go around (Hollywood, Santa Monica, Venice Beach) through Metro buses and subway easily. Sadly when we... More

Sorry, this place was rubbish. The smoke alarm went off twice in the middle of the night because the bar next door was cooking something. I don't cheap and easy places, but we had a horrible stay. More

In raw terms, the Kawada Hotel is pretty good. It's in a great location (cabs to anywhere in downtown will run you about $8 max), the rooms are clean and comfortable and the cafe next door (The Cherry Pick) is AMAZING. Seriously good breakfasts. Unfortunately it's also terrible for business travellers. They advertised "fast" internet as well as Wi-Fi, but... More
