Aside from the staff and the pool, this place is worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Please do not stay in room 203. The shower faucets leak like crazy and never get hot. The kitchen faucet was barely holding on. The balcony was so dirty I couldn't stay out there. Summary - not fun!

Lovely hotel with character! Not the most modern or fancy, but it has a wonderful charm to it that we really enjoy! Great for families and we love the popsicle hotline and snacks. Great staff- always super friendly! It’s a very convenient location to walk to the Hollywood Bowl or the Grumman Theater.

Cool old Hollywood hotel

This is an OLD Hollywood hotel. There’s nothing wrong with it. The price was fair. The people that ran the place fell over themselves to help you. It is walking distance to the Hollywood Bowl which is why we were there. Found out the hotel can book you a reservation to the show at The Magic Castle if you are a guest. Otherwise you have to know a member of the club or know a magician, which I do not. I’ll probably stay here again just to go to the show-a bucket list thing for me😊.

We loved staying at the Magic Castle Hotel with our family. When we arrived the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and continued to be throughout our stay. The rooms and bed were very comfortable and we loved hanging by the pool and calling for our popsicles! Honestly cannot fault our stay, only wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you to Kevin and the team. Hopefully we'll be back again one day.
