Hollywood Hotel-The Hotel of Hollywood

We stayed for one night out on the town. There is lots to do for dinner and night life, all within walking distance. The beds were super uncomfortable and the vinyl floors were cold. Nice looking hotel but too expensive. Self-park is $22 per night and is not included. You might as well valet.

Upon check-in we were given great advice as to how to make the most out of our time in L.A by the friendly reception staff who were kind enough to print bus and train schedules we needed (both bus stops and train station are very close to the hotel which came in handy and it was also close to the Griffith observatory which has amazing views of both […] the city and Hollywood sign). Free wifi & daily free breakfast, was great knowing you could have a delicious healthy (or a little naughty) start to the day before heading out. There is even a place right across the road that you can buy water from (cheap!) if you'd like flouride free fantastic tasting water.Terrific value for money, comfortable bed, great location and all the staff were an absolute pleasure...would definitely stay again!

Overall I was really happy with the hotel. The rooms were very clean. Everything was working. The staff was friendly and happy to help with any questions. The neighborhood looks scarier than it really is. The rooms were great. If you are a sensitive sleeper you may want to request a non-street facing room. I personally didn't mind it. The breakfast […] was great. There is plenty of parking but keep in mind, they do charge a nightly fee for it. Big Plus was FREE Wi-Fi. Read more

some of the stafs are not friendly enough.

Terrible. Fine print at bottom of page says there is a parking charge. Hotels.com absolutely no help in this. I dialed a hotel extension for local takeout and was charged for 2 phone calls. The only good thing is they did change my noisy room 15 feet from North Vermont Ave to an inner courtyard.

Terrible- Room was ugly with holes in shower area. Hotels needs a major update, very tired.

The Hollywood hotel was conveniently located to our destinations and to many restaurants that catered to my Vegan diet. It was only a short drive to many points of interest in Hollywood which was a huge plus. The room was on the smaller side but clean and the bed/bedding was comfortable. The downside was that the hotel was completely tiled and the doors/windows […] are far from soundproof. Anytime someone walked, rolled a suitcase, or spoke outside our door you could hear them clear as day. If you left your bathroom door open you could hear your neighbor sneeze in the next room through the wall. We also had a courtyard room which would have been lovely (with the fountain running through the night ) had it not been for the screaming guests occupying the space until 3 in the morning. The other downside was the free wifi was unreliable and we were continuously kicked off the network. All in all in regards to location, cleanliness, courteous staff, and room accommodations (ie. fridge/microwave) it was a good choice. However the noise, room size, and wifi reliability will not be bringing me back for the price. Read more

Hollywood Hotel- Hotel of Hollywood is not worth the stay. First night , the toilet was not working. Moved to another room and the exhaust fan of the bathroom was very loud like a motor running. Neighboring Guests called and woke us up in the middle of the night. Manager was informed but manager had bad attitude and told us we will look into it. Next […] day same situation -so we did not stay for the third night.We want a refund of the three nights paid for. Read more

Wonderful hotel experience. The only disappointment was no pool towels. Yes, the water was cold, but the weather was beautiful and we wanted to relax by the pool. The front desk staff acted like we were crazy. "The pool isn't heated you know".

Nice hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is a 2 minutes walk from the Metro Station which was very convenient. Neighborhood is a bit sketchy at night, but so is most of Hollywood! Room is comfortable if you dont mind squeaky beds. There is a bus stop just outside the hotel (204). It was helpful when we needed to get to Beverly Center (although you have to get off and change to another […] bus to get there). A 99c store is nearby, as well as a Rite Aid pharmacy, and lots of nice eateries including a Wendy's restaurant. Front Desk staff helped us receive several packages and kept them safe until we got back. Breakfast is great with waffles, cereals, and eggs prepared to your own taste (spanish omelette, plain omelets, scrambled eggs, and even egg whites). It will keep you full most of the day. We also rented a car from the car rental desk in the hotel's lobby, it was very convenient but a bit pricey (USD 100/day for a Chrysler Convertible). Hotel has a parking lot but at a rate of USD 20/night, we preferred parking on the street (in Lexington Avenue you can find some spots with no parking meters). Check out was at 11AM and our flight was late in the evening so we kept our luggage stored in a closet by the front desk which was very nice. There is a small gift shop near the parking door and several vending machines in each floor. Only downside is that we had asked for a room with a safe and it was written in the confirmation letter we got from the hotel, but when we arrived there, they told us there rnt any available!

Perfect stay except for the parking charges which should be free. Other than that everything was amazing

Genuine Expedia guest review

Loved everything about my stay except my room was very loud as it was facing the main road. Although I was given the choice to change rooms if i was able to get up before 11am one morning of my stay but couldnt be bothered and had already unpacked some things. Besides that great hotel and staff. Wifi was fast and inclusive breakfast was great :-)

Good location. 5 minutes walk to metro station and then you can go anywhere taking the metro. Near the hollywood and universal studio. Safe neighborhood. Very nice room, with everything you want for a room. Very friendly people. Very good deal for college students. It's the best hotel during our trip!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Hotel is more than 100 years old, so the rooms are a bit small but they do a good job on upkeep. Although the surrounding neighborhood is not the best, it is not bad, and the location is convenient to just about everywhere in the Hollywood and downtown LA area. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Ok hotel, but price is way too expensive for what you get. Very old facility. Way over priced. If price was lower, I would have given a better rating

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

not the cleanest, and heater did not work at all in the room, it was freezing cold. They ended up bringing a space heater???

Genuine Expedia guest review

Housekeeping staff friendly and professional, other hotel staff not so much. Very good breakfast.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel could use a little updating. The wood furnature is chipped up and it could be a little questionable weather the floors were mopped (noticed a lot of scuff marks from shoes).The beds were a little too firm for our family. The rooms are not spacious. For a 2 bed queen size room, there was only a walkway from the door to the other side of the […] room with enough space to setup the ironing board by the fridge and microwave at the other end of the room. The bathroom has a small counter and the bath tub is a little steep for people with smaller legs. Also, the tub and bath mat had grounded in dirt, making it difficult to determine how sanitary it was. There was no complimentary soap, luckily we bring our own anyway. There was only one coffee package to make coffee and this is a 2 bed room so there should be a minimum 2 coffees' for each type #caffinated and decaffintated#, we only had one of each type. Same with the breakfast tea, we only had 2 packages of the decaffinated tea. The iron is chained to the ironing board making it a little difficult to iron at times. Overall, the continental breakfast was the highlight of the hotel. For a continental breakfast, this is the best and most choices I have seen. To be honest, I usually pass on the continental breakfast but during my stay here, we did make sure we got breakfast before leaving for the day. Read more

Hotel staff not accommodating for early check in flight from Australia arrived at 6:30 am room not available until 2 pm, after calling no interest from concierge. Large room but heating not working, don't book for winter. Don't use hotel phone as every time you press nine for outside line charged 1$ even if call not connected or made.

Overall the stay is good except the breakfast. If the breakfast is all u can see, it shouldn't be limit only 2 eggs per person, especially I'm gluten sensitive

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We very much enjoyed our stay at Hollywood Hotel. The pros: comfortable beds with good bedding, free wifi, a great breakfast, 1/2 block from the metro, pretty easy car access to the 101. The cons: $20 a night for parking (but the lot was large and we appreciated the convenience). The hotel is old but generally well-maintained. You could see its wear […] a little around the edges but not in ways that mattered. I asked for a 3rd floor courtyard room because I'd read here that some front rooms are noisy, and that worked out well. We found the hotel convenient for visiting Hollywood and Warner Bros and Universal Studios and also (via metro) downtown. Read more

Overall, it was pleasant. There were not a lot of frills. The room I stayed in had no carpet. It also had no working central heat. A room heater was placed in the room. There was no cable. The picture of the analog television wasn't the best. Free wifi was fast. The room was clean. The front staff member who checked me in was friendly and helpful. The […] courtyard was nice. The breakfast in the morning was quite good. I had an omlet made to order all three days I stayed. The dining area was clean and bright. When I stayed, the elevator closest to my room was out of service for two of the three days. it's not in the best part of town. Interesting,y, just two blocks up, the sketchiness of the area disappears and good shopping and dining options appear. Read more

We needed a decent, affordable place to stay near Children's Hospital-LA. This is not a good choice. I travel 50-75 days per year for work, and I have never experienced worse service. It wasn't clean, the staff was unfriendly, and there was an overall seediness vibe that left me feeling unsafe. We checked out early and found alternative accommodations. […] Hotels.com shouldn't even offer this hotel on their site. Read more

Good location within walking distance from Metro station. My room faced the road however and was kept awake all night with traffic noise and emergency vehicle sirens. Breakfast was great, staff cooking omelettes to order, great range of cereals, juice and breads. Concierge were very helpful.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel was beyond what I expected. The room was clean and the property was very well maintained. It was also really easy to drive from this location to many of the attractions in Hollywood.

Genuine Expedia guest review

There is no temperature control in the rooms and never had enough towels. The breakfast was good, most of the staff was friendly, but if you needed anything after 10 pm, forget it. Parking was easy and there were more than enough luggage carts for arrival and departure. They charge $20 per day for parking.

The front-desk's service was fabulous. They were very nice and helpful. Our room was clean and spacious. The only issue we had with the room is that they had taken out the carpet and added laminate flooring. We could smell the glue from the floor, which was an issue because my mom and I both have asthma. The hotel did not have any vacancies so we could […] not switch rooms. The surrounding area is not the greatest, but our car was located in a gated/locked parking lot. Read more

There were many good things about this hotel. It's conveniently located off of the Metro. It is close to a lot of fun bars. The Hollywood strip is very close, too. The Janitorial staff was great. If you can speak Spanish, I suggest you chat it up with them. They are very sweet, they kept the room clean, and they recommended good restaurants. The challenges […] with the room were mainly with the quality and age of the facility. It's clear that it was an old smelly building that had gotten a botched face lift. However, I didn't expect much for the price. Read more

Hotel was conveniently located to the event I was attending, but as I was driving to the hotel, I was second guessing my decision to stay there. Hotel was a bit of an oasis in a neighborhood that was not somewhere I would normally base myself. That said, they have a secure parking lot and I felt safe walking to an event in the evening. The overall walk […] score of the neighborhood isn't great, though, as there's not much around to do. Hotel appears to have been remodeled recently, as things are up to date and overall pretty clean. Breakfast was pretty good. Read more

Pros: The breakfast was much better then others. The rooms were clean, plenty of towels, windows opened. wifi was somewhat bearable, but slow. Cons: Our bed squeaked from the metal risers. The bathroom was itty bitty. $19/night for parking is outrageous. Elevators are slow. I had to take the stairs going down at least 3 times. Someone left the alarmclock […] set to 7am. Read more

Staff was very helpful and the breakfast was a full breakfast. There were only two things that were in need of attention, the clothes dryers were broken and there was a musty odor in one of the upper floor hallways and room. The first floor room, with tiled floors, was much nicer than the upper floor room.

If having the ability to control the temperature in your room is important to you, do not stay at this hotel! There are no individual controls in the rooms and the hotel decides the temperature as there is only one system for the entire building. During my stay, the hotel was HOT in every area, especially in my room. There was no way to cool the room […] off except for a fan which I had to request numerous times before they finally brought me one. It made it very difficult to sleep. If I had not prepaid for my room, I would have checked out. One individual in particular at the front desk not only was totally unsympathetic, but threatened to call the police if I continued to complain! What kind of "customer service" is that??? In addition, the rug in my room was filthy. However, the housekeeping and maintenance staff were very nice and helpful to me. I can say good things about the hot breakfast you receive with your stay. That was the best thing about the hotel. You have to pay for parking, however, I managed to find spots on the street by a meter which is free from 8 pm to 8 am. Then you have to put money in if you're still there after 8 am. Bottom line: I would NOT recommend this hotel. Read more
