Property was old and dirty and marked. Pictures showed a very different story to what was there. Disappointed but grateful for refund to go elsewhere

The staff were amazing. Nothing was a problem & they went out of their way to help with dining, transport & laundry. It is an older property but i would recommend especially for families visiting Universal Studios. It is a one minute walk to the metro station & one stop to Universal Studios. So easy.

Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff; nothing was too much trouble and the property is very family-friendly, with free ice blocks, soft drinks, and snacks - not to mention a pool. The building themselves look a bit old but the rooms are clean and tidy and the staff really do go the extra mile to ensure families have a great and enjoyable stay there.

Hands down the most incredible experience for our Aussie family. Customer service exceptional and so so fun. Sure some of the rooms are needing an update but that is overlooked by all the other more important stuff like fab music, fab staff, parking, the pool and atmosphere. Do yourselves a favour and book the magic castle won’t regret it. Also go to yamashiro restaurant above it insanely amazing !!

The location is excellent, we are 3 gals, first time in Hollywood and we were just a street away from Hollywood Bl. We had no car and just walked to all the sights. We felt very safe. The hotel staff were very helpful, if they did not know the answer, they made every attempt to assist us. The accomodation may be a tad tired, but the service, location and snacks made a big difference. I believe that they are slowly renovating the rooms. Will stay here again.
