About
Little Tokyo Hotel
Little Tokyo Hotel sits directly by the Federal Building on East 1st Street, placing you amid the restaurants and shops of LA's Little Tokyo. The property is a 2-star affair with a practical bent: a 24-hour reception, free Wi-Fi in all areas, and a non-smoking policy throughout. For those on business, a photocopier and work desk can be requested.
Rooms keep things simple and functional. The Twin and Single rooms both come with heating, and some guest reviews mention mini fridges. Bathrooms may be shared—several reviews refer to a common bathroom—so it is worth checking the room type. A shared kitchen is available for preparing breakfast, and laundry facilities are on site. The location gets consistent praise for its convenience to the Civic Center/Grand Park metro station and the surrounding food scene.
