“Nice hotel!!!”
very nice holtel and extremely kind personnel
“nicest staffs”
good location and very nice staffs! You can hear every sound of next door though ;-)
“Perfect Location for Hollywood”
My teenage son and I stayed at the Magic Castle for two nights. We went to a performance at the Kodak Theater, and went to a film at the Chinese theater. This hotel is just one block from those theaters--it was so nice not to have to drive and find parking. Our room was small, and somewhat plain, but the service was very friendly and helpful. The snacks were free, and the breakfast had good coffee and pastries. We did not swim, but the pool area was a nice place to hang out. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Magic Castle, because I was completely willing to have a small room if it meant I was right next to Hollywood. I did not spend much time actually in the room other than when I went to sleep--so I did not really care.
“Pleasantly surprised!”
I was looking for a moderately priced hotel and discovered Magic Castle Hotel. Based on the reviews of other travelers, we decided to give it a try. It was great! The three teenaged boys we had with us loved the complimentary snacks - and they took full advantage! The DVD rental selection was awesome too. I would highly recommend this hotel.
“Loved it”
We loved the location, service and everything about the Magic Castle. They are very close to Hollywood Blvd where there is always something to do. It was to our liking. The beds are very comfy and all of the employees were very helpful in making reservations for us and arranging transportation.
“always great”
fantastic place to stay. second time we have stayed , the service is exceptional, sure it may be a bit older than some, but i think this is part of its character. would definately stay there again and have told many people about it.
“west Hollywood,s best secret for families!”
I did a lot of research prior to booking the Magic Castle Hotel, And I was not disappointed. Jason was wonderful to talk to, the reception area was a refreshing place to come to after sightseeing, for a snack and cool beverage. Our accommodations were perfect for our family of 5. Our only regret is that we could'nt stay longe! I already miss the chocolate chip scones! I guess we will have to go back...
“Divine Service and Location”
Everyone was fabulous - from check-in to check-out. Jason and the others made us feel like this was our home. The extra space in the room was great. Advice and reservations (and treats and umbrellas) dealt with as if they considered it an honor, not a chore. Secured parking is nice. Location is superb.
“Great location”
If you want to be within close proximity of Hollywood blvd then this is the place. Very friendly and helpful staff and undercover parking for $10 per day.
“Great Hotel in Hollywood”
What a great find in Hollywood. Super friendly staff and large, comfortable rooms. The parking is great and covered. The free continental breakfast and snack bar are an added bonus that made our stay that much more enjoyable and convenient. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area. The only thing was our room had a slight order when you initially entered as if it was formally a smoking room or a particluar cleaning agent was used. No elevators here so be prepared to take in your execise and climb those stairs if your room is above ground level.
