Yes, it is worth booking if you want a clean, well-located 4-star base in Downtown LA near the metro and Grand Central Market for little more than our Budget pick. Skip it if you travel with a lot of luggage or need a roomy space, as guests say rooms are compact.

citizenM Los Angeles Downtown is our Best Value choice in Los Angeles. It is a 4-star hotel in Downtown LA with a guest score of 8.7 out of 10 from 3,401 reviews. That is the largest review base of our three LA picks.
It suits solo travellers and couples who travel light and plan to get around by public transport. The property lists a gym, a restaurant, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Families and anyone with big suitcases should think carefully. Guests praise the layout but say floor space is tight. Parking is not listed in our data, so drivers should check options first.
Location and getting around
The address is 361 South Spring Street, in Downtown LA. The location score is 8.3 out of 10.
Guests say it is central, near the metro, bus stops and Grand Central Market.
Distances are straight-line estimates. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is 5.4 km away, about 68 minutes on foot. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is 10.4 km away, around 130 minutes, and View Park-Windsor Hills is 11 km away, roughly 138 minutes. All three are over 30 minutes on foot, so they are far. Plan on public transport or a taxi.
What guests say
Location comes up first. Guests like having the metro, buses and Grand Central Market close by.
Cleanliness is another strong point. Reviewers describe the hotel as spotless and well maintained throughout.
The main complaint is room size. The layout is called functional and well designed, but the compact floor space leaves little room for luggage.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was about €129.26 per night. The median in our Los Angeles sample was €263.38 per night, so it is well under half the typical rate. These are reference prices, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Olyver Hotel, is a 3-star scoring 8.5 at about €122.82 per night in Koreatown. Our Luxury pick, Shutters On The Beach, is a 5-star scoring 9.2 at about €857.60 per night.
For roughly €6 more per night than the Olyver, you get a 4-star rating, a higher score, a gym and a listed buffet breakfast. You lose the free parking the Olyver lists and the larger rooms its guests describe.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 19 eligible properties in Los Angeles. citizenM sat in joint seventh position by review score in that sample.
The Best Value label weighs guest score, number of reviews and reference price. It is not necessarily the cheapest hotel. An 8.7 backed by more than 3,400 reviews, at less than half the city median, is what earned it the place.
