Great property, safe and secure nestled in a residential area a few blocks from Melrose. One of my favorite hotels in LA if you’re looking for a quiet escape. Stayed here for a week with my toddler and felt at home, we’ll be back!

Charming and spacious bungalow to celebrate my husband's 50th. Close to West Hollywood. Found a fantastic vegan restaurant and checked out the Woods. Highly recommend if you're looking for something unique.

A Hidden Oasis with All the Comforts of Home The Charlie is an absolute gem of a boutique hotel. It is an older property, but it has been beautifully renovated to offer a peaceful, hidden sanctuary complete with beautiful garden, private patios in a quieter area of town. The room itself is beautiful, has an exceptionally comfortable bed and large pillows, spacious comfortable separate living room, a great TV setup with tons of channels, and the massive bonus of a full stainless steel kitchen. If you are looking for an incredibly cute, character-filled getaway with great amenities and tranquil outdoor spaces, this place is a perfect choice. I’ll definitely be going back.

We loved the coziness and character of the Marilyn cottage. Our stay was definitely a highlight and we were in a safe and central location, walkable to shops and restaurants.

8/10 Very good

Pros: Room was spotless and the grounds were beautiful. This place allows you to live like a local and not a tourist. With that, cons: The building was old and I could hear a lot of noise from the room below.

Unusual place to stay, very nice and well equipped. A bit smaller than advertised and not cheap, but we had a good stay and would consider returning.

Memorable stay in a beautiful and serene space with unique architecture and history, practically an oasis in West Hollywood. We stayed in the Charlie cottage and had everything and more to feel comfortable and at home there, wish we could have stayed a full week.

Omg…. This place was old school Hollywood at its finest! Fantastic location on a quiet residential street just off Melrose. The cottages are adorable and well appointed. The staff is friendly and attentive, but note they front desk closes at 5pm, so arrangements need to be made if you arrive later (which they totally accommodate)! It’s like a Bed and Breakfast but without the breakfast. Would absolutely stay here again!

Cool neighborhood location walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Rooms a mini apartments which are super convenient with kitchenettes and laundry facilities. Cozy bed and breakfast feel with a bunch more privacy.

I reserved the Steve studio for a two night stay, The Charlie is absolutely charming, I chose it for the wonderful Chaplin connection, it’s style, kitchen facilities and it’s proximity to my meetings. It had its own pretty flower filled garden. The bed was very comfortable, the decor lovely, the kitchen small, perfect with a great cooker and fridge and the bathroom was clean and bright. The desk in the room was perfect for my work. The second night it was difficult to sleep, because of the people socialising above me with their windows open and footsteps are loud, there was a slight smell of damp in the wardrobe cupboard, which may have been from the washing machine in there. The staff were kind and attentive, the gardens are peaceful and gorgeous, I enjoyed the large sunny communal deck and I was kindly given a late checkout, which I really appreciated. I would very happily stay there again.

Quiet and private with an essence of old Hollywood. It has a feeling of your apartment, not a hotel. The staff are lovely and very helpful.

The room we stayed in was very nice and well maintained. The room had modern conveniences with out taking away from the history of the property. Staff was very nice and approachable. The only regret is that we only stayed one night and did not get to enjoy all the features of the property.

The Charlie Hotel and our ‘Steve’ room in particular was a great place for us to base ourselves in West Hollywood. It had enough space and all the amenities that you would need. The bed was comfortable, and there was a full kitchen and washing machine and dryer. Staff that we encountered were very friendly and professional. The only negative was the frankly ridiculous rule that was stuck to the kitchen wall forbidding the cooking or microwaving of fish with the risk of a $250 fine from the hotel. As a couple who enjoys eating fish every day or two, this was very inconvenient. It seems, if odors are the issue, that spicy curries or food full of garlic would be more of a concern. I’m just glad we didn’t go to the supermarket before we checked into the room and saw the sign, otherwise we would’ve had a lot of fish going to waste! Never had this “fish policy” in any other place we’ve stayed in across the globe.

I got the privilege of staying in the Dylan, and Ruth. I loved both, equally. The staff were delightful, experienced and accommodating. The Charlie has managed to maintain a low profile, making it very special and exclusive among the “local” patrons. mmake this place

Walkable to so much - restaurants, activities, etc. Parking available, but Uber is always nearby. Excellent staff. Beautiful property and homey. Great water pressure. Remember these were bungalows built years ago, so if you have a room with stairs, they may be steep for older people. There are other options.

Beautiful property in a great location. Enjoy the low key, private feeling. Each unit has a full kitchen, outdoor space and washer/dryer. Comfortable and clean. Only negative would be the thin walls. You can really hear everything outside the room, however, it is generally pretty quiet.

This place always impresses me. I had friends and family stay here when I lived in LA and now that I live on the East Coast, it's my favorite place to stay when I come visit. It feels like your own charming apartment.
