I really like this hotel brand’s modern, industrial feel and room designs. The Los Angeles and Austin locations are prime, too! If a view matters to you, be sure to request one when booking. My biggest concern was the amenity fee increase. I was quoted one rate but learned upon arrival that it had gone up. Although I booked through a third-party site, I feel the fees could have been communicated more clearly. The front desk attendant who checked my son and me in during our late arrival also fell short of the warm, attentive service I’ve come to expect from this brand. She didn’t mention the guest credits, either. Thankfully, Adriana turned things around! She went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and that I was satisfied. Her exceptional customer service is why I’d consider returning, and she deserves recognition. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE visit this hotel and get the pancakes at Openaire! You’ve never had a better pancake in a more beautiful place. It's a literal greenhouse! The food is fresh and delicious, and the restaurant was a big reason I booked here again!

Well located in Koreantown. Various food outlets around. The hotel has a nice swimming exterior swimming pool with a restaurant and bar attached. The room have a modern edgy look with bare concrete walls.

The people are always friendly. There’s all kinds of places to eat within walking distance. I do prefer a room on the backside so that I’m not facing the street and listening to the traffic and sirens and the craziness of the city all night. I love the room set ups and I love having The electrical plugs within an easy access.

I’ll start by saying that the views are amazing. The hotel is located in the heart of Koreatown, with many great places nearby that are reachable within a 15 minute walk. The area is good, safe, and relatively clean by LA standards. The hotel has its own vibe, which I’m sure many people will enjoy.A nice addition is that the hotel has an Alfred Coffee in the lobby, as well as its own club, which adds to the overall atmosphere and convenience.The rooms, however, could be cleaner, have a better layout, and feature more updated amenities such as the hairdryer, shower curtains, and similar details. Overall, it was an okay stay.

I picked this hotel since we wanted to stay close to Ktown and there are so many good restaurants within walking distance. Maybe my third time staying here so I know the area. We weren’t able to get an early check in, but no big deal. I knew which restaurant I wanted to eat at. When we got back to the hotel, we were able to check in at 3 pm. Before then, we just rested in the lounge. Room service was extremely slow and so was housekeeping. Nothing has changed since my first stay here in 2017, the fitness center still has the same outdated machines but less treadmills, the bathroom is so outdated, and slower service and housekeeping. Not sure why they are charging resort fee, it isn’t a resort..

Location it’s really nice and staff was super cordial and helpful. Some renovations could be useful as it feels kind of “oldish” and the stay is on the pricier side. Internet connection can be a little bit slow and will go away every now and then. Elevators where super slow, i think that was my biggest pet peeve. Other than that, the complete stay was ok.

Response from the property

Dear Alan, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed our convenient location and friendly staff. We appreciate your comments regarding the elevators, internet, and room updates. We will share your feedback with our team as we continue looking for ways to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better stay. Best, C. Ruiz

After our stay, I honestly can’t imagine that the owners or designers of this hotel have spent much time actually staying in these rooms. There is so much unnecessary furniture and decorative clutter that an already-small room feels even more cramped and difficult to use. Plastic detergent bottles are used as “decor.” There’s a gaudy decorative mirror placed over a perfectly functional mirror. A large square piece of furniture that could have served as a coffee table is instead covered in uneven cubes(?), making the entire surface unusable and turning it into more of a tripping hazard than anything else. Even the floor lamp is angled in a way that seems designed to take up as much floor space as possible. The bed is positioned so close to the window that getting to one side is extremely difficult, and the TV protrudes into the same narrow walkway, making access even worse. There are additional cushions and cubes scattered around the room that serve little practical purpose and mostly just get in the way. The mini fridge was packed completely full of overpriced minibar items, leaving essentially no room for guests to refrigerate anything of their own. It was also heavily iced over, as though it hadn’t been defrosted in quite some time. There are plenty of smaller usability issues as well. There’s nowhere sensible to hang a towel where it can actually dry, and there wasn’t even a waste bin in the bathroom. Unfortunately, the problems went beyond the room design. I found what appeared to be cat or dog hair in my breakfast burrito. The air conditioning did not work properly, and the automated curtains worked less than half the time. For a higher-floor room sold partly on the view, having curtains that frequently refuse to open makes that feature fairly pointless. The hotel clearly has a "strong" design concept, but it often feels like visual styling was prioritized over basic comfort and functionality. A hotel room should first and foremost work well for the people actually staying in it, and ours simply did not. Even booking the room was bizarre. The hotel’s own reservation system said the property was closed, so I called because I was fairly certain that wasn’t true. After being put on hold, I was told the hotel was sold out. Yet immediately afterward, I was able to book through my credit card’s travel portal, with multiple room types available. I could also see multiple rooms available through another credit card travel site, Booking.com, Google, and elsewhere. It genuinely left me wondering: does this hotel not want direct bookings?

Honestly this place is a lot nicer than I expected from the reviews. Definitely a 4 start place and not 5, but the lower prices reflect that. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Pool and pool restaurant are both super nice. Staff friendly. I saw a lot of comments about noise issues. I had none. I booked a high floor Hollywood Hills view (highly tecommend) and was right next to the elevator. Maybe being on a high floor helped. ONE slight negative is the elevators. Slow. Give yourself some extra time. But yeah I like this place!

Where can I eat near The Line Hotel?

You can eat well without leaving the hotel: Openaire, Alfred Coffee, and the Lobby Bar are all on site. For Korean food nearby, BCD Tofu House, Brothers Galbi, Damsot, and DANBI are local favorites. Concerto Bakery Cafe is a cozy spot for pastries and coffee, right next to H Mart. The Grove, about four miles away, offers more dining and shopping options. For a quick bite, there are also Korean BBQ restaurants and casual spots within walking distance in Koreatown.

What is the area around The Line Hotel like?

The Line Hotel sits in the heart of Koreatown on Wilshire Boulevard, a lively neighborhood known for its Korean culture, Art Deco buildings, and all-night energy. You are steps from the Wilshire/Normandie Metro station, with easy access to the rest of LA. The immediate area is packed with Korean BBQ restaurants, cafes, and shops, including H Mart for snacks. The Grove, a popular shopping and dining destination, is about four miles away. For a taste of local life, the hotel's own Openaire, Alfred Coffee, and Lobby Bar are right on site.

How do I get to The Line Hotel from the airport or main train station?

From Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), take the Metro bus to Union Station, then the D Line subway to Wilshire/Normandie Station, which is steps from the hotel. The trip takes about 55 minutes. A taxi or rideshare from LAX takes roughly 21 minutes. If arriving by train at Union Station, the same D Line subway ride to Wilshire/Normandie is about 12 minutes. The hotel is right by the station, so you can walk straight there.

What's there to do near The Line Hotel in the evening?

For an evening out, the hotel itself has plenty: the Lobby Bar serves cocktails and light bites, and there are two nightclubs on site, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Break Room 86, the latter with karaoke rooms. In the surrounding Koreatown, you can find Korean BBQ restaurants and late-night spots like BCD Tofu House, which is a neighborhood favorite. The Wilshire/Normandie Metro station is steps away, so you can easily head to other parts of the city for more nightlife. The Grove, a shopping and dining destination, is about four miles from the hotel, a short drive or transit trip away.

Is The Line Hotel a good base for exploring Los Angeles?

The Line Hotel is a solid base for exploring Los Angeles, with the Wilshire/Normandie Metro station right across the street for easy city-wide travel. Paramount Pictures Studio Tour is 3.0 km away, a short drive or transit hop, while the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is 5.4 km and Griffith Observatory 6.3 km, both reachable by car or metro. For farther sights like the Hollywood Sign at 8.2 km or Universal Studios Hollywood at 9.6 km, plan a longer trip. The hotel's own restaurant, bar, and cafe make it easy to start or end your day before heading out. Koreatown's dining and nightlife are steps away, adding convenience to your stay.
