I stayed in this hotel with my husband one night. We wanted something sheap in LA and not very far to Universal studio (3 miles) and Hollywod blvd. Hotel is pretty nice but everything is old. We stayed on a second flor so we didn't need elevator but it didn't work. I asked about room with view on Hollywood sign... More

My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights on a holiday that included a trip to Hawaii, Philly and Canada. We needed a cheap place to stay and I loved the character of the place when i saw it online. I read the reviews on here and began to freak out, thinking we'd made a huge mistake. When we... More

My family and I stayed at the Hollywood Historic Hotel, once in 1984, when it hadn't yet been remodeled, and another last February, 2012, when we arrived in LA to observe Paul McCartney obtain his Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Both times the service was good, but on this trip we were pleased to see the hotel's remodel.... More

Hotel from the outside looks nice, inside is quite average. Service - nothing special, just 'please sign, your room number is...', without usual American smile. Room and bathroom with the old equipment, but rather clean. Our room had a view at Hollywood sign, but it meant also huge noise from the street. You get average quality, but at a good... More

This hotel is nasty, dirty, the walls are so thin you can hear everything not to mention the traffic of the main street does not stop all night long. The bathrooms have not been remodeled since the 1920s, and the carpet is black from all the dirt. Holes on walls and a sinck hole infront of the bathfoom floor. The... More

My bf and I stayed here 1 night and thought we were getting a good deal, but it was terrible and worst night of my life! Beware, it might be cheap, but not worth it! The pictures on their site are deceiving with camera tricks and only the best rooms they had or altered pictures because the rooms were definitely... More

This hotel looks pretty good from the outside, doesn't it? It's a fine edifice, certainly, but that's about as good as it gets, apart from the many wonderful pictures of Hollywood Greats from the golden days on the walls of the upstairs corridors. The hotel itself is situated in what is virtually a 100% Hispanic part of LA, and it... More

A friend and I (two 25 year old girls) thought this was a great deal considering we only really needed a safe place to sleep for two nights during our 3-day Los Angeles area adventure. We got to Hollywood in the afternoon of April 11th. We decided to check around the neighborhoods of the hotel before we checked in to... More

Ok it's cheap accomodaion and not in walking distance but for my partner and I it was brilliant. We hired a car and there was easy parking and easy driving distance. Our room was basic- television bed just simple really. Service was ok but didn't need there help really. We had to walk up one flight of stairs- not a... More
