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.

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.

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!

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.

Amazing staff and attitude

The hotel itself is somewhat worn and old, but the beds were clean and comfy and the staff were absolutely amazing - very welcoming, kind, generous, helpful and accommodating to our needs. Each staff member we encountered was just wonderful and their attitude made up for the shortfalls in the physical property.

“Cheap and Cheerful” is how I would sum up The Magic Castle Hotel. Each of the staff I encountered were friendly, helpful, and professional. The amenities are great, especially for families (heated pool, popsicle hotline, soft serve ice cream machine, free endless snacks, fountain soda/ice machine, free Wi-Fi, continental breakfast, free detergent on-site laundry, and outdoor movies). The mini bar was stocked for a good time (liquor/beer/pre-mixed cocktails) with reasonable prices! There were also several easy DoorDash-able restaurant suggestions provided at check-in. Parking is limited, so the garage can fill up. I’m not sure what the alternative parking arrangement could be. There were a couple of very narrow spots that could accommodate a Mini or Prius-sized vehicle, but not a regular sedan or SUV, FYI. The property felt secure, requiring key cards to enter the garage or lobby. The room had everything one needs for a comfortable stay, but it’s best suited for the sleep shower crowd. If you’re into hotel-style lounging, it’s probably not ideal. (Although, the robes and towels were soft and comfy.) The property is old, the rooms are small, and there isn’t a lot of natural light. The rooms and property are kept up just fine, but they show their age. If I ever need to stay in the Hollywood area again, I’ll definitely book here without hesitation.

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.

Welcome to an expensive AirBnb acting like a hotel

The hotel is a pretty old apartment community turned into a hotel with 1B1B unit called as suite rooms. The parking is a hassle, the free breakfast is laughable, the floors are creaky and you are sold magic related merchandize. The things I liked about the hotel were one of the front desk manager who did our check-in who was a pleasure to interact, was very co-operative, friendly and the reason why I didn't change my mind and go somewhere else after looking at the "hotel".
