For my lastly few days inwards Los Angeles before I returned to the madness of life dorsum domicile I checked into The Line Hotel inwards Koreatown. While I'd genuinely enjoyed my Airbnb storey (I tin give the sack genuinely recommend the storey I rented which you lot tin give the sack observe here, and you lot tin give the sack acquire £16 off your commencement remain if you lot sign upwards to Airbnb using this link) I wanted to relax a fleck to complete off my trip, as well as later on lots of scoping out dissimilar hotels as well as neighbourhoods online I went for The Line, which seemed to offering a fashionable setting as well as a pick of on site eateries for a real reasonable price, smasher inwards the optic of a foodie neighbourhood I'm ever resolving to observe out to a greater extent than about.
The commencement affair you lot notice when you lot allow yourself into your room later on depository fiscal establishment stand upwards for inwards are the wall length windows, that you lot merely receive got to precisely driblet your bags as well as run over to aspect out of. I booked into a King room alongside a see over Wiltshire Boulevard, but if you lot pay a fleck to a greater extent than you lot tin give the sack receive got a room alongside a Hollywood Hills suite, something that if you lot tin give the sack afford the upgrade I'd recommend, just based off of their Instagram feed.
I brutal slightly inwards honey alongside the concrete as well as glass, finished alongside a few whimsical touches decor of my room in ane lawsuit I genuinely laid dorsum to accept it all in. Each room has its ain artwork, as well as for a basic room at the hotel at that spot was plenty of infinite for everything I wanted to utilization the room for; equally good equally a generous virile individual monarch size bed the seating expanse was a overnice touching on to sit down as well as read for a bit, as well as the massive desk was corking for me when I wanted some serenity as well as did non experience similar going downwards to the entrance hall to weblog (in my room I was away from the temptation of the merely sinful chocolate chip cookies from the entrance hall cafe!)
I enjoyed the selection of family magazines that were available inwards the room, they made for genuinely interesting poolside reading to acquire to know a fleck to a greater extent than close the neighbourhood, as well as for recommendations for where to explore over dissimilar fourth dimension frames people could live staying at the hotel for. I got a corking dumpling recommendation from the magazine (to follow inwards some other shipping close nutrient inwards Koreatown), though they could practise alongside updating equally ane of the recommendations I wanted to follow turned out to live unopen - lucky I Googled it using the hotels costless Wifi (to everyone, non precisely paying guests) before setting off!
For some reason, the affair I unremarkably justice the most close (and seem to recollect the most too) inwards a hotel is its bathroom. For example, I can't seem to recollect whatever of the bathrooms inwards either of the hotels I stayed inwards when I Jesmond Dene House inwards Newcastle before inwards the Spring. On the upwards side, I'm however thinking close the amazing drinking glass sides bath inwards my room at The Farmers Daughter Hotel inwards West Hollywood, as well as the pelting showers as well as family shower gels are argue plenty solitary to remain inwards whatever citizenM hotel.
So what close my bath at The Line? I loved the massive mirror as well as golden details, though the lighting was a fleck of a nightmare to pose makeup on. I loved their trivial toiletries as well as the shampoo as well as conditioner both smelt corking as well as were non terrible for my pilus (not equally adept equally regular shampoo, though), as well as the shower was lovely to stand upwards nether to launder the twenty-four hr catamenia (or the pool) off. Nice as well as functional, it did non allow the room downwards at all.
There were lots of details inwards the room that rooted it inwards Koreatown, which I genuinely appreciated. I'd been important to read L.A. chef Roy Choi's volume L.A. Son for a land forthwith (he's the guy behind Kogi Truck as well as Sunny Spot which I also reviewed on that trip) as well as hence I was genuinely happy to observe a re-create inwards the room to read encompass to cover; I'd genuinely recommend it both for the personal story, as well as to acquire to a greater extent than close the history of both nutrient inwards Koreatown, as well as inwards Los Angeles inwards general. While I don't unremarkably receive got things from the mini bar because of the massive score ups, equally good equally some American favourites I was happy to see Asian biscuits as well as Korean beer taking pride of place, precisely to milk shiver things upwards a bit.
After settling into the room as well as sorting out my bags (they'd kindly allow me depository fiscal establishment stand upwards for into my room early on equally it was ready, as well as my storey had an early on depository fiscal establishment stand upwards for out fourth dimension that morning) it was fourth dimension to caput off to explore the ease of the hotel, as well as plainly inwards search of food. However, you'll receive got to hold off until my side past times side shipping to read to a greater extent than close The Commissary, the greenhouse eating spot where I breakfasted as well as brunched every forenoon I was at the hotel, equally I've pose together a proper 'Places To Eat In Los Angeles' shipping for you lot all.
After brunch it was fourth dimension to caput dorsum to my room to sideslip into something to swim inwards (here; it genuinely is the ultimate Summer drink.
While it seemed that that Lord's Day as well as the next Mon were to live my lastly properly sunny days inwards L.A., I tin give the sack happily study that the puddle is also pretty awesome for an early on forenoon swim inwards in the rain, fifty-fifty if everyone does aspect at the mad non-Angeleno venturing exterior inwards fifty-fifty the mildest atmospheric precipitation without an umbrella as well as wellies! You tin give the sack continue your wearing clothing dry out inwards the Commissary greenhouse.
As good equally the entrance hall cafe as well as The Commissary, The Line Hotel has 2 to a greater extent than Roy Choi driven eateries (as good equally a basement bar I did non venture into); Eat At Pot, a total on Korean eating spot non genuinely suited to solo travellers, as well as the Pot Bar, where I constitute myself sitting upwards at the counter at for a few bar dishes as well as a tin give the sack of mutual frigidness Korean beer when I constitute myself famished from sitting inwards the Sun all afternoon. The stand upwards out dish from my selection was this: Dynamite Rice heavy alongside uni, which was both rich, satisfying as well as alongside some lovely crunchy bits. I think it wins some of the most satisfying bar nutrient I've ever had, as well as is a must order.
Alternatively, the dumplings I opted for side past times side were to a greater extent than than a fleck of a allow down. The dipping sauce was lovely as well as had a good balanced flavour, but equally far equally flavor involvement goes the dumplings themselves were a fleck flat, as well as to a greater extent than greasy than you'd await from something that had been drained properly later on frying.
After heading dorsum to my room it was fourth dimension to alter into pyjamas as well as snuggle downwards inwards the comfy bed (I've slept inwards fifty-fifty to a greater extent than pillowy number, but this was however upwards at that spot equally a venture hotel bed) to scout twenty-four hr catamenia plough to dark over Wiltshire Boulevard, as well as practise what whatever self respecting individual inwards a hotel room that has HBO hard disk on a Lord's Day dark would do; scout Game of Thrones.
So, land all the trivial details are genuinely of import for a hotel stay, what you're genuinely later on is somewhere to lay your caput for the night: as well as hence how did I sleep? Well, I slept okay. On the commencement dark I had a few moments of regret booking my room, because overlooking the primary route the room was real noisy at night. The blackout blinds did their job, but equally a daughter from the countryside I honestly could non see how I was going to acquire to slumber over the sounds of the city. It turned out I did mange to autumn asleep pretty easily each evening, but in ane lawsuit I was awake inwards the mornings I was awake; at that spot was no lazily falling dorsum to slumber equally I was supposed to live having a few days of relaxation, later on all.
When I was checking my room when I was close to depository fiscal establishment stand upwards for out as well as I was looking around my room to see if I'd left anything I discovered that at the side ane of my windows was genuinely a trivial bent as well as warped at the side; it had an opening to allow the dissonance inwards all along, as well as land the hotel should hold their rooms a fleck better, I don't think the dissonance would live equally much equally a occupation or people inwards other rooms equally it was for me. Though, if you're non equally used to staying inwards cities as well as you're to a greater extent than of a province bumpkin similar me, I'd however recommend staying at The Line, but shelling out a trivial fleck to a greater extent than for ane of the Hollywood Hills see rooms, equally they don't overlook the road.
As for value, King Rooms similar mine at The Line start at $189 per dark (approximately £120) as well as the same room, away from the route as well as alongside a Hollywood Hills see starts from $239 per dark (approximately £155). For a Sunday, Mon as well as Tuesday dark inwards June, alongside all the relevant California province taxes (they accuse a tourism as well as occupancy taxation on top of the cost of the room) my remain came to roughly $840 (which is close £540) which plant out at around $280/ £180 a night. If you lot compare that to other hotels of this calibre, it is pretty reasonable.
So, what was my overall see of my few nights at the hotel? In spite of the few issues I encountered, I had a genuinely corking remain at the hotel, as well as alongside the caveats I'e already mentioned, I would live happy to remain at that spot in ane lawsuit again as well as recommend it to anyone looking for a dissimilar neighbourhood than the commons West L.A. favourite, but however beingness genuinely good connected to all of the neighbourhoods a visitor to the metropolis could maybe want. The staff were all genuinely helpful as well as friendly, as well as I genuinely felt I'd got what I'd paid for.
