The Rosemary

Before you fall in love with the photos, consider the following: Shared bathroom and having to go upstairs means a room should cost $65, not $145. It's bathroom and shower in one, so your neighbor may be taking a long shower when you have to go. That cute spiraling staircase is annoying when people upstairs are coming and going. Noisy intersection with no insulated walls. Feels like you're in a box with plywood walls. A small AC unit on the wall just can't cool the room. We left after 4 hours and moved to another hotel. It was that bad.

The place has a unique interior design, but it doesn't have a parking.

The Rosemary is a fabulous little boutique hostel in a nice part of Silverlake. It was perfect for my long weekend stay in LA. The room was quiet and cozy. The bathrooms are super nice and the showers have good water pressure. There's a small fridge, a water dispenser and a Keurig for making coffee in the morning in the shared space. The neighbors around are incredibly helpful and helped me find parking around the building. Would definitely stay here again!

We lucked out and got the tower room with the octagon windows overlooking LA and a jacuzzi! If there was anyone staying below us, we didn’t know it. We were supposed to be sharing the middle floor kitchen and bathroom but never heard or ran into anyone else. The decor was just as great as the photos and the spiral staircase unforgettable! We felt very safe as there’s 3 locked doors between you and the outside. The only thing that made me nervous was you get only one set of 3 keys so if you lose them there is no one on site to help you but luckily I had them in my pants pocket all night and never lost them. Best romantic hostel ever!

We loved our stay and would definitely recommend this venue. If you’re at the top of the tower (honeymoon suite) be prepared to lug your luggage two flights up the narrow spiral staircase. Suite has private jacuzzi but toilet and kitchen are shared with one other guest room.

The whole tower was basically a whole private apartment. It was cozy and bigger than expected with three stories. Love the extra touch of the toiletries available for use. I absolutely loved the bathtub, though I wish the jacuzzi feature would have worked, but it seems that was broken. Overall though, perfect for a romantic stay.

Very unique property- clean and stylish. Shared bathrooms were spotless and will definitely come back!

Really unique vibe and a good price if youre not doing a long stay. The shared living space will be a turn off for some, as will the size of the rooms. Staff was very easy to contact when needed, despite not being on site. I can imagine this place being an amazing stay with the right group of people renting out a number of rooms, but as a lone traveler, it wasnt quite what I was looking for. Still, not a bad spot.

Other then not having on site parking it was perfect.

Great hotel for cheap, no-frills accommodations. Super clean and exactly what I needed for one night's stay. There is no concierge but the check-in instructions were super easy. There's also free parking on surrounding side streets if you can find a spot. Close to some great spots to eat/drink/shop in LA. Would definitely return.

This place was so bad i booked another hotel. The room stank of mildew. the carpet was mushy and gross. there was a giant stain on the carpet where presumably an iron has fallen and burned the carpet. the bed was stiff and uncomfortable with threadbare and budget sheets. The bathroom, shared amongst guests, was dirty the entire time i was there. the walls are thin and the place is noisy. awful place. AVOID.

Was great overall. Rooms got hot in morning so hard sleeping in. Was better sleeping with windows open but you had more street noise I got bitten 2 of 3 nights. Hopefully not bed bugs - hard to tell with black sheets. Otherwise I liked it and will use again

Fruit flies swarming in and out my room all stay. There was no AC access so I sweated through my sheets multiple times. I’d live with it if they didn’t charm an arm and a leg for the stay. It smelled foul or rotting food. Location was only decent thing about it.

restroom dirty and towels had a lot of unidentified hair

Bed bugs, no real trash can for the kitchen and broken shower head. Location is amazing and that is why we picked it, and the price is great, but didn't realize it would be so poorly maintained.

This was a perfect hotel for a 1-night stay. There was a shared bathroom, but we hardly saw anyone (we were there on a Thursday night). Our room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was super clean. For the amount we paid, this was a great value! There were also some cute restaurants within walking distance and a grocery store nearby.

Super super clean couldn’t have asked for more. Plenty of toiletries for all needs, spacious rooms super unique experience!

Excellent location. Very clean and well maintained. If you are solo travelling on a budget and here for a couple of days without a car, this location is very well connected. I would definitely stay here again. Checkin and checkout were seamless and contactless. I just wish checkin was a little sooner.

There was no soundproofing at all - I could hear every car that went by, every person who entered or used the microwave at midnight, every footstep above my bed. It was also quite cold in my room.

perfect for what we needed, a lovely place to sleep and have some morning coffee before setting out for the day. Bathrooms are nice and clean, beds are comfy and the style is eclectic. You can definitely hear people in the other rooms coughing, talking normally etc, so we had to whisper always but other than that it was great. would most certainly stay again!

Hotel is beautiful, classy and artsy; however, very noisy. People around were playing music and watching TV until late hours at night. I didn't get a good night sleep.

This was a unique experience. Uncanny Valley. Instructions for the property were clear and everything was clean. There was no staff on the property, so that cannot be rated. It's not in the best part of town, but I felt safe. Walls are paper thin and they provided ear plugs.

Very clean and comfy. The price is too high for a tiny room with a shared bathroom. I paid 258$ for two nights. A bit expensive.

TOO SMALL! What a rip off!

I cannot say enough good things about The Rosemary. This was my second time, and we stayed for 5 nights. I loved loved loved our room so much, the bed was extremely comfortable, we had our own little outdoor area, and the kitchen was super convenient. Everything is decorated so cute. There’s no traffic and it was really quiet in our room. I will stay here every time.

Needed a quick stay while I was in LA for a friend's Bday. Was a bit confused how to get in but once I did it was a nice surprise. Felt safe. Bathroom was clean. No one was loud.

What I liked: The property had a beautiful old Hollywood style once inside. It was well kept and clean. There was free Hight quality coffee capsuels. What I didn't like: The surrounding area felt unsafe with lots of homeless people. There is no staffing at the hotel which caused a couple of issues. Our food was stolen from the freezer on our first night and the owner couldn't work out who took it via CCTV. A group of about 5 dodgy looking people were up making noise (appearing to be using drugs) until after midnight - the walls are paper thin. Conclusion: The hotel was very nice but would definitely benefit from 24/4 reception.

Very unique hotel with comfortable beds and clean. Staff responded quickly to contact with answers to questions.

Well the decor of course I'm sure everybody talks about that just the attention to detail and it's just a class act also as of late I've had really bad experiences pretty much everywhere not everywhere I mean not exaggerate quite a bit quite a bit lately I've been unhappy with just the overall hospitality of hospitality providers and I was just doing a review as a matter of fact; I was just doing an video review for a YouTube channel and I had to stop and think about it and this was definitely the place that I can say that enjoyed the most lately and the communication was good there were accommodating. I had no issues the interaction was professional it was quick, polite friendly and in stark contrast to the other bookings as of late. They were very easy in dealing with my service animal. They didn't try to hit me up for extra money or fees or charges or anything they were totally compliant with Ada and FHA. I enjoyed the experience enough that I went and changed and moved to another one of their different rooms in their property so I can experience that too. I love that area of silver lake it's like coming home for me and I would highly recommend the space. They have other properties as well that I'm looking forward to being able to check out in the near future that are also very unique spots that shouldn't be missed I think. as far as hospitality and an experience goes they are top notch and providing that thank you so much.

Not stated in the description of the room I selected is a shared bathroom. A very important piece of information they leave out. There is no staff on property and you access the room via a lock box on the street, where I was approached by a homeless person. The sheets and towels are black which masks how dirty it could be. I sat on the bed for 5 minutes while contemplating the room, which was as hard as a rock, and I left without staying. No one on site to complain to and my messages went unanswered to the hotel.

We did love the property itself, it’s very unique and cozy. The area itself is fairly decent as well, though close by hospitals and therefore loud with the sounds of sirens. The walls are very thin, so you tend to hear all the sounds from the street and from the other tenants. I think that was the worst thing, the other tenants. We had three other people book the upstairs room while we stayed, and they went from bad to worse. The first came in super late and were very loud, we shared a metal spiral staircase, and we heard every loud step and suitcase banging on the stairs and the wall as they made their way up to the room. They also left their things in the bathroom, which was small anyway so space was limited. Not the best, but bearable. The second guests were two men, who were super loud and SLAMMED the cabinets so many times that eventually I had to ask them to keep it down. No reason to slam anything, especially in a place that is not yours. The third seemed nice, but I guess they did not realize they shared the kitchen with us and left their stuff EVERYWHERE. I know the actions of these guests cannot be controlled by the establishment, of course. I say all this to say that maybe signage reminders would be beneficial, because they did not seem to read the email with the courtesy do’s and don’t’s. But I would definitely stay there again, it really is a comfortable and quirky space overall.

Great location..

Very well maintained and within walking distance of everything.

The room was so unique and gorgeous, really fun vibe. Close to so many great things and pretty easy to find parking. Would def stay again and check out some fo their other rooms.

Super impressed by the small getaway my boyfriend booked here. Such an exotic little place to stay, the art there was fascinating and brought the small place to life! Definitely a spooky vibe. Not to mention a delicious taco stand on the street just walking distance from there. I also forgot my raízor and they so happened to have saved my day, how cool is that? Definitely will come back.
