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!

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.
