The Magic Castle was presumably an apartment block in a former life. The rooms therefore are huge for a hotel - each is an apartment with lots of room to spread out and relax. Our room had a separate kitchen, dining and lounge. The furniture is all new but the apartment itself has had a marginal makeover. The kitchen and... more

This was a really nice hotel, and it's convenience to Hollywood just can't be beat. It's only about a 10 minute walk to Grauman's chinese theater. The hotel had a nice little pool and a very nice continental breakfast. The hotel had many nice touches. It was chilly in February, so they had hot cider and cookies available in the... more

We stayed at the Magic Castle hotel for three nights. It was not quite as comfortable as I anticipated. While the location is great especially for visiting Hollywood Blvd and those sites, the hotel itself is pretty plain. Our junior suite was barely furnished with some tired 50's era-design couch, chairs and tables. Plus when we checked in, we found... more

We had a fantastic time at the Magic Castle Hotel. The staff are so friendly and great with kids. We loved the free snacks and drinks, as well as the continental breakfast and the hot cider every evening. Great location, spacious rooms, very clean pool, inexpensive parking. It is all good. more

This was our second stay at the Magic Castle Hotel as a family. We arrived very early after a morning flight from Auckland. The staff were outstanding as usual. They organised our room within an hour, which helped a lot. They offered us breakfast while we waited. We stayed in L.A. for 4 days and this is the perfect location... more

This is my second visit at the Magic Castle Hotel and it was even better than my last! The staff is incredibly friendly and eager to please. Our room was comfortable, clean and spacious. It felt so nice to have a fluffly bathrobe in the room as so many hotels don't have that option. Loved the turndown service with great... more

This place is filthy. The only pro is the walking distance to Hollywood Bowl. I cannot believe this hotel is still ranked this high. Magic Castle helped me not to trust TripAdvisor all the time. more
