The Magic Castle Hotel was everything we could dream of and more! Upon arrival, the staff tended to up personally welcoming us with bubbly juice and champagne. Our Guest services assistant was very attentive to us upon check in and even offered us a room upgrade as hotel first timers. The property was beautiful, well maintained, and a kids and parents paradise. The amenities offered right down to the free snacks, and popsicle hotline were a what dreams are made of for a Hollywood adventure with kiddos! I highly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to the area, it is very walkable and public transportation is easily available near by. Thank you to the Hotel staff for truly making our stay Magical in every way!

All around great stay at this very cute hotel

All around awesome. If you like good vibes, amazing service and a kitsch environment..this place is for you. If you are after neutral tones, staff who are polite but don't talk to you, and a brand new hotel with no noise, then find somewhere else. On whole this place was super fun and heaps of well thought amenities and little touches. Thanks team Magic Castle! Ps. Their resident magician Alonso was amazing!

The staff really make this quirky little hotel special. Nothing seems too much bother and they do everything with a smile. They interact with all their guests and without exception were friendly and welcoming. Kids (and the big kids too) love the ‘popsicle hotline at the pool snacks, ice cream and juice that is all freely available all day. Hotel is very close to the Hollywood Boulevard landmarks and a lovely big shopping mall, all less than a 5 minute walk. Rooms are basic (reminded us of student halls) but they are air conditioned and equipped with everything you will need for a short stay including a hair drier and iron. It’s not luxurious but for the price it’s clean and relatively comfortable. Definitely a fun place to base yourself for an LA trip.

Wonderful hotel in Hollywood. Close to the Stars and Chinese Theater. But the best part was feeling like we went back in time when we walked into the hotel. Beautiful place. We would definitely stay here again!

Great staff. They remembered everyone by name. Helpful with luggage. Remember to request 1st floor if disabled. There are stairs from parking lot and all floors. There is a small elevator on the outside entrance to get you up and down those stairs to the lobby and the rest of the resort. Free snacks, ice cream, non alcolholic drinks, 24 hot heated pool, popcicle hotline and breakfast were wonderful amenities.

We travelled with a large group of mostly teens and booked two rooms. At first glance of the building facade, I wasn't expecting much to experience from the hotel. But from the moment we stepped into the Lobby with our chaotic group of teens, we were greeted by very kind staff members who excitedly checked us in and gave us a quick rundown of the perks of the hotel. From 24/7 pool hours, to free fountain drinks, popsicles, snacks & 24/7 access to it's free laundry facility. It was the perfect place for us. The central courtyard had lots of space for our teens to hang out and relax. The hotel is on a quiet street but just down the road and a quick walk away from the Hollywood walk of fame and many iconic locations in Hollywood including a Metro station which we took to Universal Studios.

The staff, the magicians, the snack options, pool side popsicles are awesome, 5 stars. The motel itself was a tad dated and minor things, overall the room seemed clean. Perfect for walking over to the dinner and show at the Castle, This is a fun one night stay, with kids going to universal or for couples going next door to the castle. Parking is tight, if you have a big suv or truck. You’ll have to park on the outside next to a hedge.
