We had a very short stay, but the staff were welcoming and accommodating. The rooms are clean and spacious and feels like old LA. The perks offered are also great additions especially for families with younger kids. Our 6 year old was absolutely sold with the popsicle hotline and snacks. Looking forward to booking here again for a longer stay.

Amazing staff and perfect family hotel for exploring Hollywood.
Free sodas, ice cream, snacks and of course the legendary popsicle hotline.
Nice to have a room with microwave and oven so we could cook for ourselves (there is a Target 10min walk away).
Rooms are looking a little tired but that shouldn’t impact the overall experience.

The location is great and the amenities are equivalent to much more expensive properties. The staff are also very helpful and friendly.

I would recommend the Magic Castle hotel to all families staying in LA. It is also 1 stop away on the Metro to Universal Studios.

This place is truly magical! The amazing front desk staff (Kevin, Sam, etc.) went above and beyond our expectations. The amenities offered cannot be ignored. Free soda, laundry, snacks, ice cream, and a 24 hour pool. Our family will remember this place forever. Thank you for the magical experience, the wonderful suggestions, and the top notch service. We will recommend this place to everyone!!

Awesome Hotel for kids. Amazing staff. Excellent amenities. Amazing location. I cannot say enough good things about this great hotel with amazing staff. Incredibly well maintained for the age of the building. If you're looking for a modern, unfriendly hotel where you are just a number then this is not it!! If you're looking for an EXPERIENCE, then this is it!! Just need to look past the dated decor and you will be immersed in the most magical place I've ever stayed.

A great place to stay with the family! The staff were amazing, close to Hollywood walk of fame and the free snacks, drinks and popsicle hotline were the kids favourite part!

Excellent family hotel. The amenities are truly awesome with free snacks, ice cream, soft drinks and more. It is a great overall place to stay and so close to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and other great local attractions. The rooms are large and comfortable, though slightly dated and some things that could use maintenance (like broken door knobs). I would recommend especially for families with younger kids.

This is not an upscale hotel. But-It’s so much more fun, interesting, surprising and eclectic than any Marriott I’ve ever stayed at! The rooms are comfortable and practical. Then you go down the Rabbit Hole…
Great Full Mini bar in the full size fridge. 24 hour Popsicle Hotline(actual red phone by the relaxing pool). Most importantly, a short distance to the Hollywood Bowl.
If you are laid back and enjoy people and new experiences, this is a must.
If you’re high maintenance, in between partners because they just don’t get you…and just want to be alone on the 11th floor-keep looking.

The staff was tremendously helpful and friendly. This place is fine for an adult stay, but it's a home run for families. They have an emergency popsicle \"red phone\" at the pool. I saw a little girl make the call and a minute later a man with white gloves and a silver tray delivered her a cherry popsicle. I mean, come on!!!

24 hour heated pool and complimentary laundry facilities with a room that is really an apartment steps from the Dolby Theater mall and (the nice part of) the Hollywood walk of fame. We feel lucky to have found this gem. If nobody mentioned it you can also have free poolside popsicles brought to you. So much fun.

Quaint. Staff were exceptional . Management showed their presence and assisted me with a behind-the-scenes issue with booking.

Our room was a little rundown, but large and spacious. The beds were so comfortable with lots of pillow options that gave me a close to my own bed experience. The hotel was quiet, which also added to restful nights of sleep.


This hotel did very special unique things that I’ve never seen at other hotels. There was a very large list of snacks that could be provided at any time. An ice cream soft serve machine, soda, machine, espresso machine. Continental breakfast.

The location was ideal with a very close walk to the Hollywood walk of fame , activities, and many restaurants.

Safety is a big issue for me personally and they did an exceptional job with key card entrance and gated parking garage.

The locked refrigerator was stocked with alcohol that was priced at a reasonable rate. They even had recipe cards to make special cocktails.

Overall, I feel like we had an exceptional experience.

Quirky! That’s my first thought on this brief experience. This property is stuffed into the hillside above Franklin Ave. which was challenging if you are driving at peak Traffic times and trying to turn into the steep uphill entrance but I made It.While there is parking available it does not accommodate high profile vehicles but staff quickly found alternate parking in the front.The guest services person was very welcoming and efficient in my check in. The building itself is quite dated which I don’t mind .The pool area dominates the property with most rooms facing it.My biggest surprise came when entering my room, it was huge. A kitchen , dining room, huge living room, luggage and dressing area , big bathroom with huge tub and a bedroom with two bed and two huge closets. I was blown away and sad I only had one nite to hang out and see what other surprises this property might hold. After all it is the Magic castle Hotel. lol This hotel is not for everyone , not LA sleek and beautiful but if I were going spend some in LA a definite contender.

We wanted two bedrooms and two bathrooms as we were staying with our teens. The showers were basically unusable - less water than a public shower. Sleeping with the portable air con machines on (machines that are at least 30 years old) was impossible. Obviously this is a very old motel but expectation is while the paint is peeling and the bedroom doors don’t shut - basic amenities like air con and a shower should absolutely be a given. While staff are very lovely the fact we were paying for bathrooms that really under any normal circumstances are in no way considered habitable. Only stay here if you are fully aware of the state of the bathrooms/aircon.

Cons: the floor was a bit dirty and the tables were kinda sticky, and the things are a bit old.

The staff at this hotel deserve a 5 star rating. They are the best. They can’t do enough for you. From the free snacks, breakfast, and free laundy they can’t do enough for you. Just amazing.
The actual room though is less than impressive. The floor is all uneven, the toilet leaks and the shower blocks every time you shower. We could hear every footstep of the people above us which was frustrating while trying to sleep.
If you want amazing service with awesome treats stay here. But if you are wanting modern nice rooms this isn’t the place for you.

This is our new go-to spot in L.A. Is it the newest place around? No, but it far more than makes up for that with character and personality. Speaking of character and personality, the front desk manager, Kevin, has both in abundance. We’ve been traveling as a couple for close to 50 years, and I’ve never been greeted in such a fun, welcoming manner. He made us feel like royalty. When you encounter positive customer service it’s so refreshing, and Kevin was amazing. We’re already planning our next trip so we can stay here again!

The front desk was the star of the show. All the little freebies and perks they have that are not typical of most hotels like free snacks and a \"popsicle hotline\" at the pool where you pick up the phone and ask for a popsicle and someone comes and hands you a one. The room prices are quite reasonable. It's a unique place to stay and will stay there next time we visit LA if there's availability.

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😊.
