The Spotlight on PodShare DTLA

Affordable, Social Stay in the Heart of Downtown LA

PodShare DTLA is a unique, community-style hostel located in the vibrant Downtown Los Angeles district. Just a short ride from major concert venues like the Microsoft Theater and Staples Center, this shared-space hostel blends affordability with a friendly, social vibe. With free WiFi, a communal kitchen, and a cozy lounge, it’s a great base for music fans who want to stay connected and meet fellow travelers.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and PodShare DTLA delivers. You're just a quick Uber or Metro ride from some of LA’s biggest venues, while LA Union Station is only a 17-minute walk away—perfect for late-night transit. The communal atmosphere means you’re never far from fellow music lovers, and the 11:00 AM check-out gives you time to recover after a night of dancing. While it's not the quietest spot, earplugs and easy camaraderie go a long way.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, shared experience
  • Solo travelers catching a dream concert and hoping to meet people
  • Couples on a casual weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a social but low-key spot to wind down
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to spend on experiences

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the shared kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge, oven, coffee machine, and more—ideal for whipping up a late-night bite. Being close to the city center means countless eateries are within walking distance, from 24-hour diners to trendy cafes. Coffee is always brewing in the common area, and you’re free to bring your own snacks.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a bar on-site, but PodShare’s location puts you steps from some of Downtown LA’s coolest bars, lounges, and music joints. Whether you're up for a craft cocktail or a casual post-show beer, you’ll have plenty of options. The shared lounge also makes it easy to rally a group for a night out.

What People Say

Travelers love the welcoming vibe, creative layout, and superb location. Reviews consistently highlight how easy it is to meet people, how clean and functional the shared spaces are, and how well-connected the hostel is to public transit and major venues. It’s a popular pick for those wanting a communal experience without breaking the bank.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t the spot for privacy—think open pods instead of private rooms. Noise from other guests can be part of the experience, so light sleepers should come prepared. The shared bathroom setup may not suit everyone, but it’s kept clean and functional.

The Bottom Line

PodShare DTLA is a top pick for concert-goers looking for a budget-friendly, social stay in the heart of LA’s music scene.

Pleasant

Liked: Good location
Disliked: The fact that there is no air conditioning, privacy curtain, outdated bathroom, outdated beds that has way too much gap was a little concerning to me. There are so many things that can be approved on and updated toale the stay more appealing.

Very good experience.

Liked: I had originally booked a location next to Union Station but a series of delays with the Starlight Express from Oakland (wildfires, a car on the tracks, a space X launch (we got to witness the launch from the observation deck of the train - so that was cool)) meant I cancelled my original choice and booked this venue instead. It is in a gentrified Arts quarter in L.A. The area looked run down on the surface but once I saw families walking dogs and pushing prams I soon relaxed. The accomodation is a few minutes from the Little Tokyo/Arts District metro station which was great for me to get around the rest of L.A. I'm big into my craft beer and there are a lot of very good quality Breweries and taprooms within walking distance - Boomtown, Arrow Lodge, Angel City and the Arts District brewing company are all worth a visit. The accomodation itself consists of pods which are very comfortable and offers guests a choice of short and long term stays and you can break up payments by day, week or month by cash or card. Access is secure and the beds were comfortable. Lockers and kitchen facilities were available and there was a lounge room to socialise with other guests. I would happily stay here again.

Liked: NOTHING. DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY thinking that you are getting something affordable. it a completely mess.
Disliked: it was so dirty. the pillows were yellowish and dirty. the sheets where smelly like they were not washed. we had to loose our money and find a another place because they won't refund your money if you cancel. it looks like people with no money at all live there. there were a Lott of objects like old bikes, engines, clothes and so on. DONT WAIST YOUR MONEY. it is not realistic with the price.
