Best choice for downtown Los Angeles

Review of Kawada Hotel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 22, 2019
My third stay here, forgot to review after previous trips. Best choice for downtown LA. CIvic Center and Pershing Square subway stops each a quick walk for the Red and Purple lines, connections to other rail lines. Local buses on Hill Street or Spring Streets. Easy walk to DIsney Concert Hall, downtown core and other attractions. The rooms are very nice and have coffee maker, microwave, fridge. But the #1 thing I liked about the Kawada is the great staff - you won't finder nicer hosts anywhere!

My girlfriend and I have season tickets to Walt Disney Concert Hall but live in Palmdale, CA, over 50 miles away. We decided to stay overnight in DTLA. Our only complaint about the hotel is that it didn’t have a heavy blanket or comforter on the bed; everything else was perfect for us! The hotel is affordable and in walking distance to the hall, but also many great restaurants, bars (I highly recommend The Birds and Bees Bar, if you can find it!), and Grand Central Market! We’re definitely going to stay again!

Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Staff is very helpful and kind. Close to many downtown features, including The Grand Central Market.

Very disappointed to find the parking has gone from $15 a night to $40 a night this year

Room tip: We had a room on a Main Street and noise was not a problem.

Kawasaki Hotel is a good central location. Near Metro system and easy walk to many fun things to do in LA. Rooms are small, but clean and beds are comfortable. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about LA. Would stay here again.

The rooms are really small and not soundproofed at all. F.x we heard the people 2 rooms from ours having sex every night. We stayed on the top floor with two-sided windows which was ok. The room was fine though, had TV, mini fridge and microwave. Housekeeping changes towels upon request which came in handy. The location is fine per se. Just take Uber and you are pretty much everywhere within 20 min.
The price was ok, not too steep. Note that the hotel does not offer any breakfast or anything, only two vending machines so it has this dorm feel to it.
Overall decent stay, the surroundings are not so great (bunch of homeless people around etc) I did not feel safe during the evenings. Bad quite comfy and the AC does its trick every time.
Would probably not stay here again unless it was a super cheap deal!

The only thing we liked about this place was it is near the grand central market. The room is rather small and the air conditioner is rather noisy at night.

We had some difficulty in finding a convenience store as we arrived late at night and we walked 10 to 15 minutes to look for a store which is not as convenient. Though, a microwave in the room is a nice touch.

All in all, there is nothing outstanding here except the close proximity of grand central market.
