Hilton Los Angeles-Universal City
Staying at the Hilton Los Angeles-Universal City was an absolutely fantastic experience. The hotel is just a short 10-minute walk from Universal Studios, and while there’s also a shuttle service available, walking is quick and convenient. Breakfast was excellent—fresh, varied, and satisfying—and dinner at the on-site café was equally enjoyable. That said, I was surprised by the $20 fee to use the microwave in the room. It felt a bit unexpected, almost as if they’re discouraging guests from bringing in their own food and pushing them toward dining at the hotel’s restaurant instead. Still, that minor downside doesn’t take away from the overall quality. The hotel feels safe, clean, and well-maintained—perfect for a family vacation. The location is unbeatable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. If you're visiting Universal Studios, this is definitely one of the best places to stay, and despite the microwave charge, we’d stay here again without hesitation.
The Adler a Hollywood Hotel
Staying at The Adler a Hollywood Hotel was an absolute delight! The room was vibrant and full of that classic American flair—colorful decor with striking artwork lining the walls, giving it such a unique, Hollywood-inspired vibe. It felt like stepping into a movie set. The location is unbeatable: just a short walk from great restaurants, shops, and local attractions. Public transit access is super convenient if you're avoiding traffic. Parking is $38 per day, which is on the higher side, but totally worth it for the prime spot and overall experience. From the moment I walked in, I could feel the energy and creativity of LA. This place isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience. Definitely planning to come back!
Cara
Staying at Cara Hotel was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The location is excellent—just a short walk from major attractions and well-connected by public transit. The room was spotless, modern, and very comfortable, with great lighting and quiet surroundings that made for a restful night's sleep. What really stood out was the staff—they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, whether it was giving local tips or assisting with bookings. Their warm hospitality made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. If you're looking for a stylish, convenient, and well-run hotel in Los Angeles, Cara is a top choice. I’d definitely stay here again.
Magic Castle Hotel
Stayed at Magic Castle Hotel for two nights to catch a Dodgers game and visit Universal Studios. The location was perfect—just a 5-minute walk from the nearest subway station, making everything super convenient. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, instantly putting me at ease. I especially appreciated the complimentary coffee and soft drinks available throughout the day—great for travelers on the go. While I was traveling solo, I noticed many families staying here too, so it’s clearly a great choice for all kinds of guests. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-designed with thoughtful touches. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations. From the warm hospitality to the excellent location, this hotel is a hidden gem in Los Angeles. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Hollywood Walk of Fame
This was my second stay at this hotel, and I’m even more impressed this time around. The location is unbeatable—walking distance to Hollywood Boulevard makes exploring the area so convenient. Parking is manageable, and taxis are readily available. It’s also very close to Universal Studios, which is a huge plus for those planning to visit. Just note that housekeeping needs to be requested in advance. The Indian cleaning staff member is incredibly kind and thorough—the room was spacious, spotless, and well-maintained. There’s a 7-Eleven right downstairs, perfect for grabbing snacks, drinks, or groceries. I brought a small pot to make tea and coffee, which made self-catering easy and fun. One thing to mention: there’s a small group of homeless individuals who often stay near the entrance. I try to leave some food each night, and if you’re staying here, please be respectful and understanding—they’re part of the neighborhood too. A little kindness goes a long way.
Beverly Laurel Hotel
The room was absolutely huge and spotlessly clean—truly impressive! The elevator was out of service, so I had to carry my luggage up two flights of stairs, but honestly, it wasn’t a big deal. There was a hairdryer in the room, so no inconvenience at all. The location is excellent—just a short metro ride from downtown LA, making it super convenient for exploring the city. Overall, an amazing stay with great value, and I’d definitely book again.
Fenix Hotel Hollywood
Staying at Fenix Hotel Hollywood was a solid experience overall. While most hotels in the U.S. don’t provide slippers—so I regretted not bringing my own—the real highlight here is having a washer and dryer right in the room. That’s a game-changer when traveling, especially for longer stays or if you need to freshen up your clothes. The location is excellent—just about 200 meters from the Walk of Fame, making it super easy to explore nearby attractions on foot or by public transit. However, I should mention that the area isn’t very safe at night, so we kept both front and back doors locked throughout our stay. It’s not ideal for late-night strolls, but the convenience and central spot make up for it. If you value practicality, good access, and a comfortable base in Hollywood, this hotel is definitely worth considering.
Hampton Inn & Suites Los Angeles/Hollywood
Staying at the Hampton Inn & Suites Los Angeles/Hollywood was a fantastic experience overall. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from major Hollywood attractions, making sightseeing and dining super convenient. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The bedding was comfortable, and the overall hygiene was excellent—no complaints there. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, adding a personal touch that made us feel welcome. While it’s not a luxury hotel, all the essential amenities are solidly covered, making it a perfect base for exploring LA. For travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and value, this is a top choice. I’d definitely book again.
Banana Bungalow Hollywood Hotel & Hostel
I absolutely loved my stay at Banana Bungalow Hollywood! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by vibrant colors and lush palm trees that instantly made me feel at home. The staff went above and beyond to help with everything—whether it was local tips or just a friendly chat. The location is unbeatable: steps away from all the hotspots in Hollywood, yet quiet enough to unwind after a busy day. What really blew me away was the private kitchen right in our room—full-sized appliances, clean, and super convenient for cooking meals without leaving the property. Plus, secure parking made arriving and departing stress-free. Rooms were bright, spacious, and had a private bathroom, which felt like a luxury. It’s affordable, stylish, and incredibly well-located. If you're looking for an authentic, fun, and hassle-free experience in Hollywood, this place is a must-book.
Melrose Hostel
The staff here are incredibly friendly and genuinely helpful—always smiling and ready to assist with anything you need. The location is perfect: just a short walk from major attractions, restaurants, and public transit, making exploring LA super convenient. The hostel itself is spotless and well-maintained, with a calm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to relax after a long day. Clean rooms, great vibes, and excellent value for money—it’s exactly the kind of place I’d come back to again. Highly recommend for travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and a personal touch.
Rotex Western Inn
Staying at Rotex Western Inn was a pleasant surprise. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk to downtown LA, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The room was clean, well-maintained, and the bed was comfortable, making for a great night's sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist without being intrusive. What stood out most was the excellent value—affordable pricing without compromising on quality. Reliable Wi-Fi and 24-hour hot water are small touches that make a big difference. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Los Angeles and recommend it to friends and family.
Orange Drive Hostel
Located just steps from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Orange Drive Hostel is incredibly convenient—right in the heart of LA’s entertainment district. The location alone makes it a top pick for travelers. As a hostel, it’s naturally mixed dorm-style, but compared to other hostels I’ve stayed at, cleanliness stands out: each bed has its own set of linens that you can change yourself, which feels much more hygienic and personal. There are plenty of shared bathrooms and showers, though mornings can get busy—still, everything is spotless and well-maintained. The kitchen is spacious, clean, and fully equipped with all the essentials, including instant hot water—a real plus for making coffee or instant meals. Just a heads-up: I left a banana on the counter and it was gone—so maybe keep your snacks secure! The front desk staff member was friendly, welcoming, and definitely one of the best-looking guys I’ve seen at a hostel. One small note: the entrance is tucked away behind a garden facing the street, so it’s easy to miss if you’re not paying attention—but the platform sent me a follow-up email with clear directions, which helped a lot. Overall, this place delivers great value, comfort, and convenience. Highly recommend for solo travelers or budget-conscious explorers looking to be right in the middle of the action.
