If you want to be in Hollywood the location is unbeatable. You can walk to all the famous sites. The property is old but charming. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. It's old and not very luxurious, but very charming. We enjoyed it very much.

Amazing staff and a great family vibe without being juvenile. The property is the throwback to the mid-century, but it's in excellent condition and a haven from the busyness outside. They're generous with amenities and parking was simple. Loved it!

This is a lovely spot to stay -- not for the luxury, it's rather seriously retro -- but for the atmosphere and the staff. Absolutely take advantage of the access to the Magic Castle for dinner or brunch on the weekends, which costs around $100 and includes access to the castle, grounds, and magic shows.

Layout of room and building was awesome. Excellent service (friendly and fun staff). Free snacks (which is very rare these days and puts the service in its own level). Best coffee of any hotel I have been in. It even had its own self-serve coke machine. I traveled a lot and there is no other hotel that can compare for the price.

The staff and some amenities were amazing. The apartment itself was not the best; it had very squeaky and damaged floating floors, old and damaged furniture. No elevators made carrying luggage up and down the very narrow staircases difficult. Many children were present, so if you want peace and quiet, you might want to consider somewhere else.

Best Hotel Ever

We absolutely loved it here. It was a true respite while visiting LA. The kids agreed is the best place they've ever stayed. The complimentary items were a hit with all of us. And, the staff made the stay so pleasant. We may come back to LA just to stay and relax at the Magic Castle Hotel.

Staff and service were 10/10, although the property in places was a little 'tired' and could do with modernization, the combination of free snacks, 24hr popsicle hotline and the excellent staff make magic Castle a must stay for families. We will most definitely be booking again for longer when next in LA

Magic Castle Hotel is amazing!

The Magic Castle Hotel is an awesome place to stay if you are visiting Universal Studios or the Hollywood area. Staff provide some of the most exceptional customer service I have ever experienced, the rooms were big and comfortable and the hotel provided a ton of great amenities. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and love every second of it as I did on this trip. A sincere thank you to all of the staff for making our family trip so much better!
