Our first impression of our apartment at the Hollywood Hills Hotel can be summed up in just one word -"Wow!". We booked room 502, which has a good size balcony providing a panoramic view of LA. Not only that but the room itself is really nicely furnished and a very good size, including a table and comfy chairs. It has some really nice touches like the myriad of adjustable lights, allowing you to set the mood you desire. You can even lie in bed and see the view of LA. The swimming pool area is lovely too and as the hotel is set on the hillside, also enjoys stunning views of LA. The check-in process is very easy using your phone. We found the door to the apartment slightly tricky to open, but we were met by JD who couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. The cherry on the metaphorical cake though was the proximity to Hollywood Boulevard, which seemed to be the centre of everything going on. We took a leisurely stroll down the hill and were there within 15 minutes. We took an open top bus tour from there to get our bearings and decide where else we wanted to visit. There is secure parking onsite for 25 dollars per night and you even get your own reserved space. We are only on day one of a three night stay but there is a really nice restaurant at the top of the hill called Yamashiro which we will definitely be dining at, which has spectacular views.

Very cool location but you’re on your own. No on-site amenities; no in room coffee and the Yamashiro restaurant onsite won’t even serve coffee so prepare for a bog drive and park to find coffee or food. Check in process is all digital and functions poorly; no one to talk to; you can only text. Don’t stay here if you’re looking for a traditional hotel experience. More like a run down AirBnb But we were able to walk Yo Hollywood Bowl!! Only reason to stay there!!

This hotel is not for persons with mobility issues. It's literally on top of a hill. If your elderly, wheelchair bound, overweight, have a cane or crutches, Do Not Stay At This Hotel. Make sure your hotel choice is on FLAT ground. The room was fine. Bed and pillows were great. Microwave and mini-fridge were very good. People with phone technology issues(do they still exist?) should know that the room key is on your phone only! No physical keycards. If you don't have any health issues this hotel is very good. Good views and next to a world class Japanese restaurant.

This is the kind of hotel experience I have nightmares about. I booked this hotel because I was in L.A. for a long-term stay on business and just needed a clean, quiet place to sleep and work. When I arrived, instead of the room I booked online, I was given a seriously dank and crusty room that smelled of cigarette smoke and car air freshener. There were weird brown marks all over the walls, everything was dusty, the furniture was stained, half the lights didn't even have bulbs, and worst of all was the dried-up urine stains on the toilet seat. I tried to have a good attitude but after about 20 minutes I decided I just couldn't stay there so booked another hotel for the next few nights. Here's where the story turns for the worse. I messaged the hotel and let them know I was leaving because the room I had was not the room I reserved. I said I was fine paying for the room and parking for the night but that I'd not be staying there for the rest of my originally booked stay. When I looked at my account the next day, they had charged my card for the whole thing including parking (around $4000)! After countless ignored emails and a few brief responses from the hotel noting their promise of a refund with no action, I finally had to contest the charge through my bank. For 20 minutes in a hotel room, it took a whole month for me to get my money back. If I hadn't contested the charge, I am positive I would have never seen that $4000 again. I can't tell what's going on with this property but is it super shady. Their website photos are completely misleading and if they do get you in their trap, it will be a very long road trying to get out. DO NOT STAY HERE is my very basic and clear warning to all.

Don’t be fooled by website. Never received entry gate information so sat outside for 1 hour until a guest let us in. No good parking spot for room 112. Entry into room was old, smelly and not worth over 300 dollars per night. Never received Wi-Fi until I asked. Pool was filled with trash from the night prior and still not cleaned. No place for coffee on the grounds and the restaurant was closed Sunday and Monday. Ended up using Uber eats but they struggled to find my location. Room had no fire alarm and a broken couch. Nothing for you to wipe dishes or countertop. No where to sit on balcony. Not happy at all with stay. Would Not recommend

Refurbished inside only. Clean paint, new floors and rugs, clean bathroom. Pool closed by the city since Oct 2021. Lots of trash/debris around property. Not a place I'll be staying for a couples getaway. Outside is all faded/chipping paint and signs. Location is ok in a residential area (since it was an apartment complex before) but it's clear there are long term residents living on property. Took a risk in booking a "cheap" hotel in downtown Hollywood area, but I can breathe easy that the MRS wasn't too disappointed (she's knows I'm cheap sometimes). Next time, I will save for the more expensive hotels down the hill though

I have been here for one week now and not very happy. There is a club next to this hotel and they play music very loud till 3.30 am . The manager told it’s only from Friday to Sunday when I complained about it . They offered me another room but it was not as nice as this with a great view . The location is good and the room but this music is too much as I can’t sleep. They didn’t mention that it’s very noisy hotel with the music They don’t clean the room that often and you don’t get clean towels and bed sheets even if you ask .

Consider this property if you are visiting the area. The room could use little updating but the hotel is hidden off the beaten track, safe, comfortable and quiet at night. The restaurant. Is pricey but delicious and their staff gracious and accommodating.

Gross!!!! Room smells musty, I would be afraid to sit on the couch. Luckily the sheets look clean and the bed feels soft. We had to carry luggage up many flights of stairs. The door locks dont feel safe. The online pictures look very different. Ugh I have to stay here 2 nights.

You need to contact the Magic Castle Hotel which you have to go through as they are linked.
I don't think there was a restaurant on site, only basic breakfast down at the Magic Castle for both hotels guests, apart from the (not linked) Yamashiros restaurant at the top of the hill, but I imagine you would need to contact them directly as i don't think it's linked to the hotel.
Otherwise there are lots of restaurants a short walk away in Hollywood
There are more places to choose from in the Los Angeles area.
