“Clean hotel with great staff”
The facilities are older than some hotels you may find in the area, but this is more than compensated for by the fantastic service by all staff. We were greeted on arrival with drinks, we arrived at 9am, well before the normal check-in time, but still we could check into our room. The hotel provides free drinks and snacks in addition to the complimentary continental breakfast. We were honeymooners and they happily upgraded our room to a suite. The only disappointment was that we were only staying for one night!
“Continues to excel ...”
The Magic Castle continues to excel. Our fifth stay in five years and the place just gets better and better. The addition of a daily LA Times was appreciated. I have no idea where thet get their staff from - but it is a good place. It's a real home away from home. Wonderful to see old friends on staff still there and make friends with new staff. We'll be back.
“great service and location”
Fantastic service and staff (Ricky and co) go out of their way to ensure you have a great stay. Add in the free snacks, continental breakfast and the great Hollywood location you will be glad you chose the magic castle.
“A Little Bit of Magic in LA”
I saw that the Magic Castle Hotel was rated highly by other travelers so we gave it a go on our recent trip. We were more than pleasantly surprised. Great location. Staff that will bend over backwards to help you get to where you want to go/ give you information about the area and what to see. Great location. Free snacks and DVDs. Complimentary breakfast. Wi-fi. What more could you ask for? A great place to stay!
“Great Place to Stay”
We stayed her for 7 nights and the place is fantastic. The staff are great, very accomodating and always helpful. Free snacks and drinks were a bonus.Complimentary breakfast was great. Would definately stay here again. Highly recommended!
“Best location in Hollywood.”
Location,location, location! 1street from Hollywood Boulovard. Very helpful staff, nothing's to much trouble. Rooms clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the free minibar. Great hotel.
“Loved it.”
We loved our stay at Magic Castle. It is very close to the action and nicely renovated. The staff had no problem accommodating our early check in and went out of their way to make sure everything was just right. I highly recommend room 225 if it is available. It is like having your own quiet apartment in the heart of Hollywood. We will be back!
“Review of Magic Castle Hotel in Hollywood”
We were given a refurbished apartment and it was so spacious. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a good position for Hollywood. The breakfasts in the morning are plentiful and you can have as much as you like in the comfort of your own room. I would highly recommend this hotel.
“Best hotel ever”
We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back and will recommend this hotel to our friends and family.
“Wonderful hotel”
We had read reviews about the hotel, and their A+ customer service, but they far exceeded our expectations. We have stayed at fine hotels around the world, but the staff at the Magic Castle is the best. The hotel is old and a bit worn, but there is a charm of staying in the Hollywood Hills. Our room was huge and would be great with kids. There is a full kitchen and a heated pool. We will stay there again!
