Great family hotel

Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to go back.
3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful hotel in Hollywood. Close to the Stars and Chinese Theater. But the best part was feeling like we went back in time when we walked into the hotel. Beautiful place. We would definitely stay here again!

The customer service is what makes The Magic Castle hotel special.

10/10 Exceptional

All around great stay at this very cute hotel

All around awesome. If you like good vibes, amazing service and a kitsch environment..this place is for you. If you are after neutral tones, staff who are polite but don't talk to you, and a brand new hotel with no noise, then find somewhere else. On whole this place was super fun and heaps of well thought amenities and little touches. Thanks team Magic Castle! Ps. Their resident magician Alonso was amazing!

This hotel is so clean and the staff very friendly. We loved the 70’s vibe of the property. We will definitely stay here again if back in Hollywood!

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Place was great , staff was awesome very helpful
Richard, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We travelled with a large group of mostly teens and booked two rooms. At first glance of the building facade, I wasn't expecting much to experience from the hotel. But from the moment we stepped into the Lobby with our chaotic group of teens, we were greeted by very kind staff members who excitedly checked us in and gave us a quick rundown of the perks of the hotel. From 24/7 pool hours, to free fountain drinks, popsicles, snacks & 24/7 access to it's free laundry facility. It was the perfect place for us. The central courtyard had lots of space for our teens to hang out and relax. The hotel is on a quiet street but just down the road and a quick walk away from the Hollywood walk of fame and many iconic locations in Hollywood including a Metro station which we took to Universal Studios.
Lorraine, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Roslyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

I love the Guy receptionist qho welcomed us on our check-in at around 2130. Also, the guy who helped me fill up my water tumbler with a better water and ice. We loved our stay at Magic Castle Hotel. Highly recommended.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

We had the best time with our 13 year old son traveling from Nashville to watch some NBA basketball and take in the sights. We loved the Magic Castle Hotel. So fun and unique. Thanks!
Rob, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were so nice and accommodating. The hotel had alot of free snacks, breakfast, ice cream, Popsicles and soda. Cute spot to stay if you are going to the magic show.

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Cari, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Ricky, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Edher, 1-night trip

Stayed here to visit my old neighborhood.
