The Hollywood Hotel

I stay here upon all my visits to LA. It is comfortable, clean and beautiful. A five star hotel for a 2 star price in my opinion. more

female and 2 males I dealt with were very friendly and helpful. I found our room was a good size and had a real nice bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and room was very clean. Breakfast was good also. more

I would recommend the Hollywood Hotel. I came in town for a friend's wedding, which was also held here on site and stayed overnight. The room was spacious and luxurious. I felt very pampered. I especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast offered complimentary the next day. The staff were very helpful and kind, too. more

This hotel was beautiful inside and extremely comfortable; the staff was very accomodating and we had a lovely breakfast every morning. It was nicely situated and we could catch the train or bus close to the hotel to go anywhere in Los Angeles! more

When it comes to value for money, this would be one of the best hotels that i have stayed in. The service in the hotel is excellent, the rooms are clean (the bathrooms immaculate), and the hotel was conveniently located about 150 meters from my work. I stayed at the hotel for about ten days and was very pleased with it. more

Location not bad, near metro(underground), really convenient to universal studio. One day tour busses are also provided. Actually thinking it hard to find a good location with nice inviroment around LA without using a private car. more

A strange hotel, but I'd still recommend it as part of a deal. The location is excellent - close to public transport, and a few things to look / eat at around even though the area isn't too pricey. While I was given a room for disabled users by luck, it was very very big. more

This clean and comfortable hotel is located in a safe and friendly neighborhood. It was easily accessible using mass transit from LAX. Overall, a great hotel for the money. more

We were very Happy with our stay at this HOTEL - David on THE FRONT DESK was VERY HELPFUL and goes out of his way to oblige. LOCATION is excellent, and close to all the action, and just a short stroll to Capital Building and Hollywood walk of fame. ROOMS a little small by todays standard, but the fridge, microwave and comfortable bed make up for all that. BATHROOMS recently renovated and good. All in all would definitely recommend this little piece of Hollywood history. more

this hotel is wonderful because to put it plainly, its extremey affordable, clean, and provides a hot complimentary breakfast, free wifi and laundry services. The 24 hour staff at the front desk was very helpful, one of them even let me use the laundry room after hours, as i was in a bit of a jam. The location was great, myself, being a walker, walked to hollywood and highland within about 40 minutes, and the very nearby griffith observatory/hollywood sign, and trendy Los Feliz area were even closer. I got well acquainted with the metro system as well. if anyone is looking to get to sunset strip, hop on the 2 express, which is just a hop, skip and a jump away at sunset blvd and north vermont.the subway system is located here as well and is very easy to understand. it took me about 5 minutes, once on the metro, to get to the chinese theatre. anyhow, this hotel superceeded my expectations by far, and i would highly recommend it. more

“A last-minute trip to Hollywood brought us to this hotel. It was an extremely pleasant experience easy to find. Parking was just $5. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean throughout. (Just want to note that they appeared to be doing renovations on our floor, but it never disturbed us in any way). A generous continental breakfast was provided, with cereal, coffee, tea, juices, fruit, muffins and I think waffles. But we also had a mini-fridge, coffeepot and microwave in our room. more

I traveled alone with my 10 year old daughter and the hotel suited our needs perfectly. The pool is smaller than in the pictures but it was big enough for us. It was close to lots of things and the people are very friendly and helpful. The gift shop guy is great if you need any help getting around. He is sweet. more

I vacationed in the Hollywood area between Oct. 27th and Nov. 1st. I was not familiar with the area and had heard conflicting reports warning me about the neighborhood since I was a woman traveling alone. I decided to take my chances and see for myself and I couldn't have been more pleased. I was able to check in early and was given a nice room with a courtyard view. The hotel staff were accommodating in every aspect. My room and the hotel in general were well kept and I being a woman traveling alone I felt safe. I was comfortable walking around the neighborhood and public transporatation was complete accessible. As an added perk, continental breakfast was more than just fruit and bagels, you get a full breakfast. I plan to travel to the area several times a year and would definitely stay at The Hollywood Hotel again. more

reserved 2 of the same rooms at the same time. When we got there, the 2 rooms were seperate. However, when I got into my room, I was so impressed. It was huge with a kitchen, 2 beds, and a huge bathroom. It had tons of lights and a couch. Unfortunately our travel buddies got a small standard room so they were a litlle jealous because we paid the same amount. It was a nice room still with a balcony overlooking a fountain. more

The beds are so comfy you do not want to get out of them. Easy walk to restaurants, convenience store across the street. Try Palermo for great Italian food - 6 blocks away. Very nice for the price. more

The room was very nice and well furnished with mod cons. The service provided was good. more

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights with my husband and what a wonderful stay we had. I had read some of the reviews and wasn't sure what to expect, but from the moment we checked in to the time we left, it was fantastic!! I had screwed up the booking but the 2 men at the front desk were helpful and had us checked in, in no time. The free breakfast each morning was delicious and kept us going well past lunch time. The room was new, with a nice flat screen TV. I had requested a quiet room not overlooking a busy road and that's exactly what they gave us, so sleeping at night was peaceful and restful. I couldn't hear any of the people in the rooms next to us or in the hallway and I am a light sleeper. more

They have a separate desk to the corner where you can rent a car. The Customer Service. Gizelle couldn't have been nicer and more accomodating. (Bad customer service on previous reviews...could it have been the guest who was unaccomodating, huh? lol) And you should have heard some of the questions that the traveling nincompoops were asking of her and her co-worker (!). I wouldn't have been so patience. LOLL How many times did they have to tell that one guy that it was the 4 and the 8 bus to Santa Monica.?? (3). Oh, there was a pretty Russian lady co-worker who was also very nice, giving directions ad nauseum, etc). more

The Room was recently renovated and very well thought out, too. Good designers they had.. The room had a queen bed, nightstands, alarm clock, bureau, arm chair, desk w/keyboard for Internet and a flat screen. The bathroom was stocked with all the amenities even toothpaste and a shoe shine sponge. Thanks, guys! Towels were plush and folded beautifully. I did not see anything untoward and believe me, I checked!!!Open the patio door to a small balcony overlooking a quiet courtyard. Suggestion: They could use a small cafe set to sit at out there for your morning coffee. How about it Management? Obviously you can see I loved my room. It was just very comforting to walk in and see how it shined. In the evening, I took my book down to the pool and enjoyed the families having fun. Met some very nice people from France.Next morning, I took in the Free breakfast. Let's see, coffee, tea, milk, orange juice, cereals, fruit, toast, eggs, saugage and waffles made to order. All for free. I don't understand how anyone could complain about a free breakfast but previous reviewers did.During the day it is fine to take mass transit.One last thing, the parking situation. One big PLUS is the fact they even have a parking lot!!! This is for all you whiners before me who complained about the $18 charge per day to park. I didn't bat an eye because I was just glad they had one and it is gated with an attendant. I originally checked the Roosevelt Hotel for $300 a night, as a treat, but they only had valet parking and they would park you within a THREE MILE RADIUS. No thanks! I like my vehicle nearby. Thanks everyone there at the Hollywood for making my overnight stay so enjoyable. To the G.M., you have an excellent front desk staff. You are very fortunate to have co-workers who care about the place they staff and the people who they are there to care for. more

I stayed here for one night of august 17. After reading the reviews below, I was really apprehensive about the hotel. But, I was pleasantly surprised! I really don't know where some of these people who wrote the bad reviews could be coming from... I arrived @ 1:30 and asked if early check-in was possible. Gizelle, one of the two young women working the day shift, said a room would be ready shortly. I took a seat in the lobby and started giving it a good look - since I had time on my hands and was trying to see what was wrong with it. I saw beautiful marble floors, very tasteful lobby furniture and accessories decorating the area. Three rolling luggage racks on the ready for people to load their luggage onto (don't know what that one reviewer was saying when she said she had to lug her bags around!).They have a separate desk to the corner where you can rent a car. Now, on to the Customer Service. Gizelle couldn't have been nicer and more accomodating. (Bad customer service on previous reviews...could it have been the guest who was unaccomodating, huh? lol) And you should have heard some of the questions that the traveling nincompoops were asking of her and her co-worker (!). I wouldn't have been so patience. LOLL How many times did they have to tell that one guy that it was the 4 and the 8 bus to Santa Monica.?? (3). Oh, there was a pretty Russian lady co-worker who was also very nice, giving directions ad nauseum, etc). Gizelle got me my room at 2:30 and I checked in. more
