“A Word Of Caution”

Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

I have to confess that I am somewhat puzzled as to why the Magic Castle Hotel has received such an exceptional rating from Trip Advisor contributors. Hopefully my situation was an aberration as the place did not come close to meeting my expectations. I urge you to exercise caution when booking your room and when checking into the facility. The...

“Most amazing hotel - Don't stay anywhere else”

I have just left after my 3rd stay at the Magic Castle Hotel. I traveled this time with my mother and stayed 5 nights. The service has always been awesome but this trip the staff were AMAZING. My mother fell over and broke her arm on our 2nd day in the US and on day 3 I was booked to... More

“The Best Hotel in L.A.? Not by a Long Shot.”

Reviewed May 18, 2013 NEW

How is it that this hotel is ranked on tripadvisor.com as the best hotel in Los Angeles? It's definitely the work of a marketing team because this hotel doesn't even come close to being the best in L.A. I was born and raised in the city, and can tell you that without a doubt it doesn't even come close. At... More

Hi Evan E. I’m not sure if you actually stayed at our hotel, or are giving your opinion based on having grown up in Los Angeles. I’m always concerned when someone reviews a hotel on TripAdvisor and says things like, “This is definitely the work of a marketing team,” which directly accuses us of fabricating reviews on TripAdvisor. That is... More

“A Few Minor Negatives: Smoking and Mildew”

Reviewed May 16, 2013 NEW

This unique hotel really makes you feel like you're truly on vacation in LA. We enjoyed free snacks from the front lobby (you have to ask, so it limits taking more than you should), the popsicles by the pool, a generous continental breakfast, a spacious suite and the ever-smiling staff. We even did all of our laundry, with the staff... More

Hello Kimbers W, Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience. The fact that there were spots of what appeared to be mildew in your room is completely unacceptable to me, and I know to our staff as well. I am sincerely very sorry that this was in your bathroom. I am reviewing this with... More

“What a great staff”

Reviewed May 14, 2013 NEW

We read all the tripadvisor reviews and were sold on this property. It is older for sure, but the staff is the best ever. We were here for several days and could not have been happier. They gave us some terrific referrals on things to do and places to eat. We had a car so we were able to take... More

“Awesome staff and location”

Reviewed May 10, 2013 via mobile

Extremely nice staff, very professional, helpful. They are all very dedicated to guests. We stay in a renovated suite. Very large, by clean and quiet. Bathroom is good but need a real renovation. Taps are not new. The bathroom does not meet the standards we would expect for a renovated room. Location is excellent. One block from hollywood bvd.

“It's all about California living”

Reviewed May 10, 2013

My husband and I are native Californians, and we stayed at the Magic Castle Hotel as a one night getaway after visiting the Magic Castle next door. It was like borrowing a friend's spotlessly clean, upscale 1970's apartment for the night (with a FANTASTIC SUPER AND STAFF! and big screen TVs.) If you are willing to set aside some of... More

“Six Star Service”

Reviewed May 9, 2013

I spent a number of nights at the Magic Castle Hotel in a 2 bedroom suite with kitchen, with my nieces (6, 11 and 13) and family in early April 2013. The hotel itself is a converted apartment complex, but the rooms big and comfortable. What sets this hotel apart from others on our USA holiday was the service. The... More
