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.
Sheraton Universal
This was my third stay at the Sheraton Universal Hotel, and it didn’t disappoint—everything is still top-notch. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and a gentleman named Mr. Li who speaks Chinese helped me out with great care and professionalism. The location couldn’t be better—just a 15-minute walk to Universal Studios, or you can hop on the complimentary shuttle right outside the hotel entrance for a direct ride to the park gate. Saves so much time and energy! The room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained. Free coffee and tea were available, plus two bottles of water daily—very thoughtful. While the toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers) weren’t left in the room, they’re high quality and delivered promptly when requested via phone. The ground-floor buffet breakfast was excellent—lots of fresh options including oatmeal, eggs, bread, bacon, beef patties, milk, and coffee. It’s all delicious and well-prepared, especially for $34 per person. We stayed for three days during a family trip, and the kids had a blast. The only minor issue? On the first day, we never put up the "Do Not Disturb" sign, but housekeeping never came by. The trash bin was overflowing, and I had to go down to front desk to request someone to take it out. That said, this was an isolated case. Overall, the service, cleanliness, and convenience are outstanding. I’ll definitely book here again next time I visit Universal Studios.
Quintessence ApartHotel
The apartment was spotless and beautifully designed—modern, cozy, and very well-maintained. It’s perfectly located just a short walk from the Walk of Fame, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The only minor downside was hearing footsteps overhead late at night, but that’s something beyond the property’s control and definitely not the owner’s fault. Despite that, the overall experience was outstanding—great value, excellent comfort, and a fantastic base for exploring LA. I’d absolutely stay here again without hesitation.
Bed and Breakfast in Hollywood Hills
The place was absolutely wonderful—the hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. What I loved most was how close it was to Universal Studios. I only visited for one day, but it was perfect for that short trip. The location made everything so convenient—just a quick drive or transit ride away. It’s an ideal spot if you’re planning to explore the studio or just want a comfortable, cozy stay in the Hollywood Hills. Highly recommend for anyone visiting LA!

The check-in was quick and seamless, and having covered parking made our stay so much more convenient. The location is perfect for visiting Universal Studios Hollywood—just a short walk away, which saved us time and hassle. Everything we needed was within easy reach, and the overall experience was outstanding. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone planning to explore the studio and surrounding area.
