We loved our stay in kodo hotel, it's a really special place. The design is beautiful, the bed is seriously out of this world - we had the best night sleep ever and we slept in a looot of hotel beds :D When it comes to the location it was perfect for us as we wanted to explore Arts District and Downtown during our stay, but bare in mind that it's kinda far away from a lot of the main tourist attractions. The coffee in the coffee shop downstairs is delicious and you get one drink and a pastry for free everyday - which was a nice addition to our stay. We recommend trying the strawberry matcha latte which was amazing. The contact person was also really helpful, especially when we had some issues with blocked credit card at the beginning of our stay - thanks for the understanding! Overall we really enjoyed our stay in kodo hotel and if we're ever back in LA we would definitely stay there again.

When it comes to the design of the room it is really outstanding but not very practical from our experience. We kept hitting our heads on the concrete lamp shades next to the bed which was pretty painful each time :D Also our room (room nr 1) had a very sharp step on the way to the bathroom which we also found pretty dangerous, especially at night. The hotel isn't very well sound-proofed: you can hear noises both from the outside and the room next door as well. We didn't mind it too much as we used earplugs, but it's worth keeping in mind.

The staffs are very nice, even though I didn't meet them, but they messaged me to see if I was enjoying the stay. The room is also beautiful and clean, and I was able to relax after a long flight.

There's a painted scroll right above the bed, and I don't think that where a painted scroll is supposed to be. The shower and the washbasin are in a semi-open space, and there's no door/cover between that space and the bedroom/living room. I was ok because of traveling alone, but if traveling with a friend, that would've been very awkward.

Rooms are very stylish, if spare. Bed was quite comfortable. Helpful to have a steamer in the room for our clothes. The check-in process is entirely online (a lot of WhasApp messages!) and ours was a bit glitchy, but we were able to reach the hotel by phone and they quickly resolved the issue.

We reserved the smallest room, so there was no room for a sofa or chair. But it would have been nice to have a small stool -- anything to have a space to sit since the bed is on the floor.

I loved how beautiful everything was! This felt like a getaway from the busyness of LA and was so serene. The shower was the best part for me! The coffeeshop and restaurant downstairs were both so hospitable and the extra fee was worth every penny for delicious cocktails, coffees, and matcha.

I think the instructions for everything could have been more clear. A lot of the information I got was from visitor reviews instead of the business themselves.

Very nice decor in this Japanese-themed location. Room was super quiet when we stayed there. Pretty big room with a very comfortable bed.

Location is a bit away from the main attractions in LA. There is no kitchen or microwave to reheat any food so have to eat out or order in

The room was so cool. The simple Japanese elegance made us feel like we were in a chic artist's loft. The restaurant was delicious, the staff was very nice and accommodating. Highly recommend the Kodo Hotel to anyone looking for a stylish and friendly place to stay in the city!

Great location and staff, comfy room and great amenities.

I was unable to pair my phone to the TV besides that everything else was great.
