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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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".
