Burlington Hostel - Los Angeles, California

A Stay Steeped in History – Burlington Stay

Our stay at Burlington was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped inside, the rich history of this 18th-century estate was evident. Grand chandeliers, intricate woodwork, and antique furnishings created the perfect atmosphere for a timeless retreat.

Our suite beautifully combined old-world charm with modern comfort, featuring a canopy bed and original hardwood floors.

The staff’s warmth and extensive knowledge of the manor’s history made our experience even more special. If you appreciate history, elegance, and impeccable service, this is a must-stay destination.

The hotel felt unsanitary. It was not messy per se but the pictures on the website are misleading. Trashcans around house was seemingly always full. Outdoor cats are only mentioned in reviews (I loved them, but I can see how others might not.) Staff were almost never readily available. Walls in bathrooms are stained which speaks for cleanliness. Bed assignments were changed multiple times an hour before check-in which was strange.
I avoided the kitchen so no opinion there.
Shower broke on 2nd day of trip and was not fixed even after 2 days. Water from upstairs shower was too hot and downstairs shower was overall awful (low water pressure, no shelves, dirty floormat). No sandals are provided or suggested for shared bathrooms so it is a breeding ground for foot fungus.
Toilet paper cannot be flushed, meaning it must be thrown away which feels like a health hazard. Residents don’t clean toilet if they make a mess (not entirely hostels fault but they should be cleaning more often.)
Bedrooms were the most adequate part of the hostel. Sheets were cleaned, topsheet, blanked, and pillow were provided, blackout curtains, outlets by the bed and a personal light. Quiet hours were respected. Lockers were a struggle as the codes provided did not work but staff was kind and patient in solving the problem (reassigning lockers).
The front porch was also another plus of the hostel as it provided a nice place to relax in the nice weather of LA. The location around the hostel felt safe, however, the hostel itself was not as there were multiple ways to enter without the passcode on the gate. There was also nothing to do close to the hostel aside from the convention center being nearby.

The management /staff is very professional. They are nice , polite , & , keep all the rooms and bathrooms very clean. The surrounding neighborhood is also safe as well. I would definitely recommend staying there. Their customer service is great.

NOT ADA ACCESSIBLE.
Do not use this hostel, i was very excited and pleased to find that there was a place i could stay for a conference i was going for.
Since this is a hostel, which i am 100% okay with that fact, this means that is a shared room. And because of this they will not accommodate you if you have a medical need. They will not reserve the lower bunck, even if you let them know in advance. And i have a service dog, i get that of a service dog is a gray area is a lot of places, but by ADA even that is illegal. Not even for allergies or "to make sure other guests comfortable".
The way you go about it, is you contact the people who will be sharing the space, and ask if anyone would be uncomfortable with a service dog staying in the room during 2-3 days durkng there stay. Even if the wording was the guest would like to know if there would be any problems.
Here at least, you would hear directly from the guests and not just an assumption that they would be uncomfortable. This would show your willingness to accommodate guests. Maybe if one room is not available maybe the other is. There are options.
It is really a shame for this place.

And despite all of this options, they still go with the same excuse, saying the the property is listed as no PETS acomodation. And i was like great, he isnt a pet he is a medical device. No matter what i said, or suggested to make sure the other guests were made sure that were taken into account, not that i really did, but i always show courtesy to guests and the establishments i go to. Anyways, as much as i would like to see a hostel like this stay up and running in a big city, a place that is discriminatory towards disability, will not have my business and will not have my approval. You may do what you wish, but it is a 0 stars for me.

Everything was excellent! I especially loved the atmosphere – it feels like home. The bed is soft, and the bathroom has all the essentials. The hosts were always available, which was very helpful.

The apartment exceeded my expectations! Very cozy, well-equipped kitchen, even had a washing machine. Everything you need for a comfortable stay in LA.

Fuyez ce logement ! Nous avons été horrifiés par la saleté (sol qui colle, draps sales avec une mauvaise odeur, frigo qui doit contenir les pires maladies sur terre, odeur d’urine dans le sellier…) de ce logement. Ne vous fiez pas aux bons avis sur les sites tels que booking, airbnb etc. Nous avions réservé pour 2 personnes, à notre arrivée nous avions qu’un petit lit d’une place pour 2 (déjà occupé par une tiers personne) et après avoir contacté le service en charge il nous a été notifié que si nous voulions un lit chacun nous devions payer un supplément ?! Et si vous vous aventurez à faire une lessive pour tenter de laver les draps sales fournis, préparez vous à escalader une structure en bois prête à s’écrouler et des piles de linges sales laissés à l’abandon. Spoiler alert : les machines ne fonctionnent pas

I need something last minute so I had my wife pick a place for me because I had work. I didn’t get off until 1:30 so I was going to be checking in late but I based the judgement approval by looking at the hostel and location by skimming thru the photos my wife had shared to me. I was happy with it and went ahead with the reservation plans. I arrive around 2am and have all the instructions to check in late. I leave my bags on the shelves in the lobby and I head up to my room quietly. my room must have had a guest that had their belongings sprayed by a home of cats or the room itself must harbor cats somewhere because that smell is strong and I fear that it could potentially seep into my work clothes and I’d be smelling like something foul. I gotta get with the manager about possibly refunding the remaining unused days and let me find another option because I simply just can’t put up with this at this point. ( this is day 2 )
