Hotel del Flores

Wonderful
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : Location, large room size, no bugs
  : Unlocking and relocking the shared bathroom was kind of a hassle. Noise from the alley of the restaurant next door, so ask for a room on the other side.... Guy at the desk was kind of gruff, the other stuff were very nice.

Very Good

  : I thought this hotel was great, but I had realistic expectations. For the price point, its remarkable. The location is awesome. You can walk a block and shop at Whole Foods. You can walk .2 miles to a Starbucks, Rodeo Dr etc
  : The decor is charming but old and musty. Not having an elevator will make you rethink your packing. The biggest downfall was the workers on the roof and the bathroom and shower room was where the workers were working on the roof. I showered in a swimsuit

Poor

  : The room was clean and livable, and the TV and WiFi worked well. The room clearly had lots of coats-of-paint to keep dressing it up and maybe hide some aging secrets.
  : I was most put off by 'my' presumed dishonesty. As I checked in I was handed small items separately and loosing one would cost $50, I found out that parking was an extra $12, and that I had to sign to agree to $---in extra charges for my $---room.

  : Google/Expedia/Opodo/Booking.Com reviews are all over the place..!! I struggled to get a real idea of Hotel Del Flores. I hope my review clears up everything for you. Really wanted to stay in the area but everything was out of my price range. Hotel Del Flores was perfect for the price. You cannot compare a budget hotel to a 4 or 5 star hotel that costs double & expect the same quality. I had concerns from reviews; bugs, was it safe, would my door lock. No bugs, absolutely safe area (even to walk at night), clean sheets, clean room, hot shower. Yes the hotel is old, yes my bed creaked. If the room is clean & safe, who cares? I paid peanuts to what it would have been elsewhere. 5 minutes walk from the Beverly Hills sign, 6 to Whole Foods, 5 to a bus that takes you to Hollywood Boulevard or Santa Monica... The area was perfect for a non-driver. Of course it's not a place you'd spend a lot of time in your room (but the front balcony is nice to sit at), it feels like staying at your grandma's house. But all the people moaning, they really need a reality check as to what they paid for. I used money saved staying here, to sightsee and pay for meals/drinks around LA. It really was a no-brainer. It was super safe, I went walking around Beverly Hills at night, everything is lit up, clean, Library, City Hall, gardens, all within reach. Hotel Del Flores isn't a place for a romantic getaway or a luxury treat - But if you're down to earth & your friend/partner is up for it, you have a cheap place to stay in an incredible location. Staff were nice to me too. If I had to come back to Beverly Hills, I would probably stay here again.
  : While it was clean, the hotel is clearly old & falling apart. This does give it character though, clearly was something to see back in the day. The downstairs shared shower is small - Although it looks like it was refurbished recently. It was clean & water pressure was good. So it's not really a complaint - Just expect to be able to sleep safe but don't expect any luxury.
