This is a lovely spot to stay -- not for the luxury, it's rather seriously retro -- but for the atmosphere and the staff. Absolutely take advantage of the access to the Magic Castle for dinner or brunch on the weekends, which costs around $100 and includes access to the castle, grounds, and magic shows.

Welcome to an expensive AirBnb acting like a hotel

The hotel is a pretty old apartment community turned into a hotel with 1B1B unit called as suite rooms. The parking is a hassle, the free breakfast is laughable, the floors are creaky and you are sold magic related merchandize. The things I liked about the hotel were one of the front desk manager who did our check-in who was a pleasure to interact, was very co-operative, friendly and the reason why I didn't change my mind and go somewhere else after looking at the "hotel".

We had the best time with our 13 year old son traveling from Nashville to watch some NBA basketball and take in the sights. We loved the Magic Castle Hotel. So fun and unique. Thanks!

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.
