We recently went on an all girls trip for the weekend and stayed at the Historic Hollywood Hotel. I am a sucker for anything "historic" and I love unique buildings especially if they are a historic landmark. I personally loved staying at this little hotel and loved the style of the Lobby and building facade. The rooms are very small,... More

This is an old, outdated hotel that has been redecorated. The hotel has a certain charm. The rooms are spacious but not really nice or cosy. The stairs are very dirty and the carpet needs urgently to be changed. The hotel is situated outside the tourist area in front of Paramount’s studios. This is rather a quiet area that lacks... More

Arrived at hotel that was extremely poorly lit (nothing like the photo). Having some experience with Hollywood, were immediately concerned but it was getting dark and we didn't want to spend time looking for another hotel at that time. The man at the desk was very nice, but the hotel was like a ghost town inside and there were very... More

Beautiful antique style hotel. The service was excellent. Our reservation was lost and they were nice about it. We spent two nights. The hotel has a wonderful cafe next door open late. It is within a good walk of Hollywood boulevard however they will assist you with any tours cabs or advice. The service was excellent. Great value.

This hotel was located right next to Paramount Pictures, however quite a walk away if you want to dine out or have a few drinks. There is a small bar/cafe right next to the hotel though. The hotel rooms themselves were basic but decent for the price we paid. The rooms were pretty clean, however the fridge was VERY noisy.

When I first arrived at the hotel, I asked the front door about the old bedbugs reviews, and he assured me that the problem was taken care of a year ago. The place looked nice and the location was perfect for me so I decided to trust him... First night I was so tired I didn't notice anything. On the... More

I thought the Hollywood Historic Hotel was a great place to stay. Really friendly staff ( Michael thanks for everything, you're awesome). The rooms were clean, the cafe next door was good, but the Italian restaurant down the street was exceptional ( some of the best seafood I've ever had). We stayed for 9 days, and couldn't have been at... More

This is a hard review to write. I had a great time and really enjoyed "going back in time" visiting this old, OLD hotel. But it may not be everyone's cuppa tea. It is very much like an old European hotel (There were lot of young Europeans visiting when I was there). The bathroom is SMALL!!!! The sink looks like... More
