We walked the whole length of Walk of fame. It was interesting to see the stars but I was expecting them to be in a nice area. It’s grotty, seedy and unpleasant for most of it. Lots of vape shops and street sellers - it was rough. But then we got to the centre, with Dolby (Oscars) theatre and the Hard Rock Cafe and it was nice around there so I recommend going to this block and not venturing too far beyond it. Hard Rick cafe was great 👍

Being from the East End of London, the Walk of Fame, served me with nostalgic aesthetics and aromas, I know only too well. The poignant smell of urine, brought back happy childhood flashbacks of walking through Barking high street as a teenager. Hurdling over the grit, grime and garbage on the floors, took me back to my energetic walks to my old office in Shoreditch. If you’re feeling down and want to be appreciative of life, head down to the Walk of Fame. It will give you a new perspective on what it is to be grateful, and appreciative that you don’t live there. In all, 10/10 experience. Would strongly recommend for corporate companies as a team building exercise, or new parents, as a way to teach young children about engaging the five senses. Small improvement suggestion, would be less crackheads.

We had a chance to visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame during our recent visit to LA. Yes, it is crazy. Also kind of interesting. Like us, you'll probably want to look around and then get out of there. Grauman's Chinese Theatre has some interesting signatures.

Stopped with my 17 year old daughter around 10am on New Year’s Eve. We parked in the corner of Wilcox and Hollywood. Lots of homeless and trash in the area. Maybe a different part is much better. We hoped out took a few photos and went into a gift shop close to Wilcox and headed out. Didn’t feel safe at all for being daylight. No other tourists just homeless wandering.

It was a dream come true to visit this place, but because of the negligence from the maintenance community, it's not in good shape. Beware of the cosplayers who may charge you money for taking a photo with them. The area could use a bit of cleaning up as some of the stars were covered in dirt. The area also has stalls which cover most of the stars. Daytime can get crowded because of other tourists visiting this place.

I hate to post this review but it just didn't feel safe down there. Lots of aggressive homeless folks and we even saw a small group smoking something on the side of the road that was clearly not cigarettes. We did our best to just pay attention to the stars but honestly it just didn't feel safe.

I read an article on LA and in summary the guy wrote and I quote “ the only thing your find out about LA is that when you come away, your realise just how glad you are, that you don’t live there’ and I kinda have to agree. It’s so made up of those that have and those that have not” The walk of fame is really good fun and if you do walk it, it will take you about 3-4 hours as you keep stopping and pointing out stars that you recognise and stop to take pictures. Like everywhere else in an American tourist trap you will In counter countless people trying to sell you stuff. A stiff “ no thank-you” usually works but some still do persists 😞 My advice is to stay in the tourist areas don’t venture any further as you will see and experience a different side of LA your probably not goons like. Without sounding disrespectful we were sat in Macdonalds the place was filled with homeless people many with severe mental health problems. One guy was sat with his hands down his pants it look like he was…well you know what I mean. Most people moved away from him and so did we, only to be looking out the window at some bare footed guy going through the trash can Next to the Hollywood stars on the street. We took the hop on hop of bus which was pretty average and decided to get off a couple of stops before the end, big mistake once again found ourselves in what I would describe as “bandit country”. Not that enjoyable overall but stay on the right paths!

I m usually pretty upbeat but this was quite disappointing. The streets are not cleaned and some of the stars are pretty dirty. Relying on the rain isn't working. The Walk of Fame becomes less and less appealing the further you go up Hollywood Boulevard and although we wanted to see Capitol Records and the Beatles Stars we weren't sure how safe the area actually was. Lots of homeless and mentally ill people wandering about. However we were lucky enough to see a Star being unveiled for Lang Lang and so that was very special. I guess that's a fairly rare event however. The Chinese Theatre with the signatures and hand/footprints is worth taking time to explore.

Definitely nothing like I expected, the area overall is dirty and there are many homeless people about. However, the main thing to be aware of is the street scammers, particularly the guys who pretend to be rappers, hand out fake CD’s and then take photos with you and force you to make a ‘donation’ to support their fake music. We ended up being fooled, coming from the other side of the world, and paid them $30. Another concerning part of our trip was when we were catching the bus into Hollywood and a homeless man ran onto the road and stood in front of the bus even though the light had turned green. 911 had to be called. These are the things that will happen, but I took it as an eye-opening experience to see the lives of these people and get a taste of a lifestyle different to mine. I don’t personally think it’s a bad experience, it might take a bit to get used to it but overall I’m glad I got to see it and get a taste of the real LA. However, if you are on a short time-span or are looking for a glamorous tourist attraction then this is not the place for you. Wouldn’t go back again but it was interesting to spend a couple of days here.

Was staying around the corner so figured I’d check it out. This was a Sunday afternoon and it was crowded, mostly because the wide sidewalk is taken up by street vendors. Most of the street vendors are selling Mexican snack food. But it was a windy day and some of their umbrellas would fall and I was worried someone would get hurt. There was also a CD selling guy and a 3 card monte scam artist (do people really still fall for that?). There are also people hawking “Hollywood tours” and people in costumes who will take a photo of you for a few. Overall it is not pleasant here but you can see the stars in the sidewalk and check that off your list.
