A fantastic hotel that is walking distance to the famous Hollywood strip. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The all-day snacks, the evening kids movie plus the magician made our family stay extremely pleasant.

Alex was incredible and was very attentive and helpful. He gave us a ride up the hill to the magic castle so we wouldn’t have to walk in our high heels. The atmosphere was fun and the popsicle phone and goodies are amazing. The room was big but dirty. I had a big black hair in my bed when I got in. The place is old and has signs of wear but all in all good time and perfect location.

Staff and service were 10/10, although the property in places was a little 'tired' and could do with modernization, the combination of free snacks, 24hr popsicle hotline and the excellent staff make magic Castle a must stay for families. We will most definitely be booking again for longer when next in LA

We stayed for 4 nights with our 2 teenagers. The suite was massive and kitchen and cooking facilities were convenient. Best of all was the great service, daily laundry, unlimited snacks, breakfast included and ice cream. The place is a little run down, but clean. It makes up for it with the extras and amazing service.

Magic Castle Hotel is amazing!

The Magic Castle Hotel is an awesome place to stay if you are visiting Universal Studios or the Hollywood area. Staff provide some of the most exceptional customer service I have ever experienced, the rooms were big and comfortable and the hotel provided a ton of great amenities. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and love every second of it as I did on this trip. A sincere thank you to all of the staff for making our family trip so much better!

Best Hotel Ever

We absolutely loved it here. It was a true respite while visiting LA. The kids agreed is the best place they've ever stayed. The complimentary items were a hit with all of us. And, the staff made the stay so pleasant. We may come back to LA just to stay and relax at the Magic Castle Hotel.

This property is unique in that its right next to the Magic Castle. It is an older property so if you are strictly 5 star hotel person it might not be a satisfying experience but for my trip up to see a band it worked great! Staff was friendly and nice and parking was convenient which can be a hassle in that area.

Older building with great service

Someone commented that the outside looks like a crack house. I can’t disagree. They really should do something to make the outside look more inviting. They make up for it though with their friendly service and freebies. Soft serve ice cream, popsicle hot line, candy, snacks and the continental breakfast. Room was big and clean. Just old. We would have stayed there again but they had really raised their price for the next time we were coming for a concert. The only bummer was that I realized shortly after we left that I had forgot my swim suit hanging on the shower rod. It never made it to the lost and found.

Five Star Staff

What makes this hotel five star is undoubtedly the staff. They couldn't do enough to help and always with a smile. I was especially grateful to the reception staff. Although I arrived safely at LA Airport, my 2 suitcases did not, and the info given to me at the airport would not give me access to trace them. The staff made phone calls for me and thankfully they turned up 24 hours later just in time for me to get my taxi to my cruise ship. Without my suitcases I would have had to return home. Another great thing about this hotel is the free snacks available 24 hours and ice cream available all day from 10.00am. The included continental breakfast was plentiful. Although my room did not have a balcony (I was only staying 2 nights) there were plenty of rooms that did. The swimming pool is open 24 hours and was being much enjoyed by children and adults. I would certainly use it again if I was staying in LA
