Conveniently located 20 minutes from 'everywhere’ in Los Angeles, Gramercy Place is populated by an eclectic mix of very interesting individuals emanating from all walks of life. It is by far the cleanest and most comfortable hostel that I have ever stayed in and is so efficiently run that guests are somehow left with the impression that the house is running itself. Kellie & Sheila and their all-girl team (including gorgeous Stella) seamlessly manage to maintain a peaceful, homely atmosphere that I was able to feel straight away. Respect is the key word here, is written all over the wall and people just abide by it. TV (cable/DVD) room, laundry room, library/study lounge, free WIFI, two (real) kitchens, two dining areas, many bathrooms, plenty of food storage (including fridge/freezer) space, outdoor smoking area, huge garden, indoor and outdoor chess and other games, free coffee and all other modern amenities are catered for (except for a public printer but you will be able to find one at walking distance and there are shops just around the corner). Plenty of leg and elbow room ensures that the place never feels too crowded and contributes to the peaceful home-away-from-home feeling. There is a locker to every bunk and enough clothes hangers for every occupant. Public transport is only a couple of blocks away and whatever brings you to Gramercy Place (relocation, tourism, temporary contract, etc), it is simply great value for money and management will always try to offer you the highest amount of flexibility. I met some great people during my stay and I’m already thinking of dates for my next booking! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
