Older building with great service
Someone commented that the outside looks like a crack house. I can’t disagree. They really should do something to make the outside look more inviting. They make up for it though with their friendly service and freebies. Soft serve ice cream, popsicle hot line, candy, snacks and the continental breakfast. Room was big and clean. Just old. We would have stayed there again but they had really raised their price for the next time we were coming for a concert. The only bummer was that I realized shortly after we left that I had forgot my swim suit hanging on the shower rod. It never made it to the lost and found.

Five Star Staff
What makes this hotel five star is undoubtedly the staff. They couldn't do enough to help and always with a smile. I was especially grateful to the reception staff. Although I arrived safely at LA Airport, my 2 suitcases did not, and the info given to me at the airport would not give me access to trace them. The staff made phone calls for me and thankfully they turned up 24 hours later just in time for me to get my taxi to my cruise ship. Without my suitcases I would have had to return home. Another great thing about this hotel is the free snacks available 24 hours and ice cream available all day from 10.00am. The included continental breakfast was plentiful. Although my room did not have a balcony (I was only staying 2 nights) there were plenty of rooms that did. The swimming pool is open 24 hours and was being much enjoyed by children and adults. I would certainly use it again if I was staying in LA

Absolutely outstanding service!
As always the service at The Magic Castle Hotel surpassed anything experienced anywhere in the world! The location is an added bonus, and having access to the amazing club next door makes it next level. I will never stay anywhere else now unless they're booked solid!

Our stay at the Magic Castle was perfect. We were greeted with incredibly friendly staff and champagne upon arrival. They asked about our plans, which included a show at the Hollywood Bowl and they informed us that we could walk to it. Such a great tip as we were prepared to take the shuttle. It saved us so much hassle. The room was clean and spacious. Property is walkable to many restaurants, bars and sites. Would definitely recommend and stay again in the future!

Best hotel in America!
This is just the best hotel in America! Seriously... Yes the decor is tired and it needs a refurb and a paint-job, but it really doesn't matter as the customer service is second to none. The kids smiles widened hearing of all the complementary sweets, ice-cream, soft drinks, popsicles, 24 hour pool, pop-corn and movie nights. I was very happy with the sofa bed and free coffee. It's also in a perfect position in Hollywood for sightseeing. Thanks team. Best customer experience ever!

Staff went above and beyond. Kevin made a point to know all of the kids names and addressed them personally each time he saw them. Popsicle hotline and free snacks were a cool feature!

Great hotel in the heart of everything!
We love the staff there! Always such a great experience. Know you are staying in an older hotel that has been renovated, so it’s not the newest place, but the amenities and staff more than make up for that!

This was one of our favourite hotels on the trip. Great location, great parking, great staff, great pool (that was actually open mid May and heated). Loved the movies and the snacks. The room was a great size. Its also right near the walk of fame, but you dont get any of the noise or business. The only negatives were the room smelt a little of gas when we came in. The floor wasnt in the best condition - in one place in the living room there was a nail head protruding from the floorboards which I stuck a plaster over so as it didnt injur the kids. Lastly, we had read that you get entry to the magic club if you stay there, so we brought dinner clothes especially and it turned out that only applies if you book direct and it also requires a booking months in advance. I wouldnt let any of this put you off though and I'd certainly stay again!

We couldn't have asked for a better start to our long overseas trip. After a long flight we were welcomed with refreshments and lots of welcoming smiles. The attention to detail of all the complimentary "extras' and acts of kindness to go above and beyond made our stay enjoyable. I would highly recommend anyone with a young family to stay here. it's withing walking distance of Hollywood Blvd and central to many other places to see. We hope to return again one day for a longer stay. My daughter hasn't stopped raving on about the Magician who visited the hotel to interact with guests during breakfast. Thank you again for a wonderful few days in LA.
