Hollywood Hills Hotel

the structure is very easy to reach and is very close to the walk of fame, so you have everything very close: shops, supermarkets etc... the conditions of the structure are not great but the view of the apartments on the hollywood hills is spectacular. shame about the pool that is closed and unusable. the climb to reach the structure is a bit steep but doable. I highly recommend this hotel!

I paid for parking $25 a day for 3 days. Two of the days I struggle to find a parking space. The restaurant above the hotel parks in that same lot. I contacted the hotel to let them know I had an issue through text because that's the only way you can reach them after hours. No one reached out to me. No one refunded my money for the days I was unable to park. No one disclosed that there will be parties and the restaurant would be so loud after 10:00 p.m.

The view and seclusion of the property is great. However I encountered some minor inconveniences that unfortunately could not be remedied. There is no front desk and staff is randomly on the premises so if you need anything fresh towels for example. It really depends on your luck. I called for towels at night and was told I needed to request before 4 pm. I was told they could bring them around 8am-9am in the morning. I called them again in the morning at 9am and they said they would bring them to me around 10am. On Saturday night the main road to get up there was completely backed up because the property is shared with the Yamashiro restaurant. We spent about an hour just waiting to get to the hotel parking. Also Yamashiro restaurant uses the hotel guest parking for valet parking. So parking is limited.

This property was so large, very nice, very clean and had an amazing view. Unfortunately, it was inconvenient to check in on-line only. There is no staff at the property or even a managers office. Also it is extremely hard to find. I recently had knee surgery. There is nothing saying you have to climb several stairs and no elevator on site. I must say it was very nice waking up to a beautiful sun rise.

Didn’t know the pool was closed until AFTER the check in, also, no ice machine, limited vending options. The patrons of the adjacent restaurant were rude and aggressive which was obviously out of the hotel’s control (just a warning) but other than that everything was ok.

They do not have any human in-person guest services. There is a kiosk or you text a phone number. The buildings are very old and there is dry rot everywhere. Although the rooms have a “nice” facelift, the floors shift or sag wherever you walk. Windows have rotting wood that was panted over. And at one point the upstairs neighbor was watering plants and the water was coming in through the windows and ceiling! There is also a hooka club lounge near the pool area that is loud until late, with patrons coming into the hotel and pool premises to use the pool restrooms. View is nice, but building conditions, lounge noise, and the lack of any front desk or human guest services is really a turn off.

Great place. Our view was amazing. The staff was helpful and friendly. Check in was different. I’m not very tech savvy. The pool was closed and we didn’t find out until we got there. Manager said they have notified Expedia but have gotten no response. Overall I was really happy with our stay.

The pool was drained and I didn’t know that at booking or prior to my arrival. There are some people that clearly live permanently in different units. Ubers and DoorDash won’t come all the way down the hill. The floors were dirty my feet where black. There is no deadbolt or safety latch on any of the doors.

There’s no lobby on site. Check in was a mess. I paid for early check in and they didn’t have anything ready. Had to keep going back and forth over text. The digital codes didn’t work and had to wait for new ones. The “restaurant” isn’t part of the hotel, it’s just next door. The hotel is on a crazy hill with so many stairs to get to the room with no elevators. Carrying luggage up 4 flights of stairs that wind up hills was not fun. Never saw an ice machine.

Great view! Definitely dated. They should let you know that the pool is in repair. Great location!

Check in was horrible. It needs to be done via online text app which wasn't working. There is no staff on site. Contact with hotel resulted only in "canned" responses that did not resolve the issue. When we arrived, it turned out we were listed as "no-show" because we couldn't get the app to work before check in time. We finally were able to reach a person on the phone who was able to check us in and reset the room code for us using his own cell phone. The room was a nice lay out, but the carpet was absolutely filthy, and the room needed much repair, including a bath tub that was cracked and chipped. Other than that, nice location with great view of Hollywood.

The hotel was definitely better than I expected. The rooms are actually like studio apartments. The views from the room are great and the walk to yamashiro is fairly easy (I’m handicap ). The room was very well cleaned and organized , only problem is the lingering smell of cigarettes and the floors are oily and dirty.

First room had a couple spiders moved to another unit. Bed towards our feet and a bunch of hairs and rusty bathroom faucet. The tub was clean but very worn out. My sleep was okay wouldn’t stay here again though

No one works here so you can not get exrat towels or blankets no way to chage the temperature so it was cold all night. Unsafe parking area. Dont pay for parking there is no point. No swimming pool. No restaurants on site like they claim. Horrible customer service on the phone and the place is dirty, run down and gross. Dried up dog pee on the cloest doors. The fridge was not cleaned out and bathtub had grime all around it

Restroom needs better cleaning

Love the property. The room was filthy. Particularly the floors were so dirty we had to wear shoes rather than walk on the floors. The bathroom floor was clean. I imagine that the floors need to be cleaned with a specialty product or something because they turned our feet black.

The pool was drained and I didn’t know that at booking or prior to my arrival. There are some people that clearly live permanently in different units. Ubers and DoorDash won’t come all the way down the hill. The floors were dirty my feet where black. There is no deadbolt or safety latch on any of the doors.

The view was amazing so it’s hard to say something bad, but the initial room was dirty and had hair in the bathroom. Balcony looked like someone let their dog out there and it was used as it’s bathroom as it stunk like dog pee. Staff accommodated to another room, but still didn’t look like any of the pictures seen in the property photos.

Run down and not well cared for. Walking barefoot made my feet black, and several things were broken. And yet in the middle of my one night stay- I was asked to let a repair person into the room. When I said it was not convenient, (all via text, I had no contact with a human) they responded “thank you” and sent the repair person.

Floor was dirty

Bed comfy, good shower. Great views. Building was dated- doesn’t look like pictures. Half the “hotel” was private residence- other half hotels. Some issues with the room such as floor boards separating and paint chipping. Wifi good and parking decent.

Very unique location, beautiful views Check in was easy Walkable to the boulevard Large space Comfortable bed

Big rooms, reformed new in a old building but with character! Customer service was super friendly and helpful; we had quite a few requirements. Great view of the city

There was a nightclub directly across from our room...loud till 1-2 a.m...boom boom... Room doors have no keys, QR code entry which was a bit annoying... Room a bit dated but beautiful balcony view... Very hilly....if you're not in some decent shape you will need to drive or uber.....Nice restaurant with limited hrs

Love the location with the view. Maybe I had higher expectations based on pictures I saw. While the interior had updated furniture and a coat of paint, the suite could use an upgrade. The tub was peeling and the area felt run-down. The QR door key was troublesome. Sometimes it took several tries. There has to be far advancements in QR readers these days that it should not be difficult to open a door.

Perfect location and amazing view. Very large room

The first time I stayed at this hotel in 2023 , I was happy with room. This time I booked the same type of room , Classic Hollywood View. I got a room in a different building that had no view. The patio /balcony was also dirty. The hotel wasn’t able to accommodate a room change. Room 110 should not be listed as a Hollywood view.

My Wife and I had tge mist amazing experience at this hotel we went and enjoyed the Reggae fest at the Hollywood Bowl (which is in walking distance from the hotel) and finished out our night in the room. Great vibes, amazing views, spacious room. We had a great time we will definitely be coming back.

Great views, wide open windows to bring it all in. Balcony you can sit out on and enjoy the view. HUGE room with kitchenette. VERY convenient to Hollywood Blvd, less then 15 min to Universal Studios. We did enjoy our room. Motel is gated and we felt somewhat safe. Now for the issues. This is an older building, there were rotten spots in the bathroom and living area. I can look past that. Lighting was horrible in our room. No light over the mirror in the bathroom, about 1/4 of the space didn't have any lights at all. We were in room 206, never had a problem when we came in as it was closest to the Motel Guest parking. The spots are small for the SUV but we managed. The old stairs that use to go directly to Hollywood were closed off and probably not safe to walk on anyways. If you walk down the road, the gate was locked with no way to open it unless you "break in" (which was not that hard) The remote for our TV was missing. i informed them right after we arrived and 3 days later and trying to get another remove we never had a TV in our room. (I mean the guest services tried everything from giving me the staff password to opening another room to try that remote to even changing rooms to a larger room the last night) Our room was lacking furniture. Nothing to put clothes in or on. The TV didn't face the bed which would have been an issue if we could have watched it.

Avoid! First is the self check in, i guess they want you to check in by yourself so their staff can avoid your unhappy face and complains. Never see a more sorry looking building been called "hotel", it was some old 50s or 60s building. very basic decoration inside, they repainted but you just know it`s old. floor is thin, i can hear every steps form the room above. most the furniture in the room just old and cheap. view? maybe on the top floor, all i can see is the roof of another sorry looking building. All the nice looking photo about nice Japanese building, the garden, the view, are from the restaurant, they have nothing to do with the "hotel" part. for that price, there are much better options around.

Nice hotel in a fantastic location! The keyless entry was not working for me. Everything was worked out without too much stress.

We had a 3night stay at Hollywood Hills Hotel. The view of LA from our 5th floor room balcony was absolutely beautiful. The room was large and clean. The location to Hollywood Bowl and restaurants is great. The hotel does not have any elevators and has a lot of stairs which this info should have been forthcoming. The hotel does not have a front desk, so you have to call or text when you need something. On day two our toilet stopped working; my husband texted the concierge who responded by saying he would call a plumber (no maintenance on site) After hearing that my husband fixed the toilet himself. Our drain in the bath tub was extremely slow, by the time we finished taking a shower the tub was half full of water. We called down to request more towels at 4pm one day and was told that housekeeping had left for the day and we would have to wait till the next morning to get clean towels. On day two our QR code didn’t work on our room door. We called the concierge and had to leave a message, then we texted. After ten minutes of standing outside of our room, we finally got in after the concierge reprogrammed the code. This hotel is old, run down and lacks all human interaction. Customer service is awful because there wasn’t any. There was a large bag of garbage that was sitting next to the stairs that was there when we checked in and didn’t get moved till two days later. I give this hotel one star and that’s because of the beautiful view and the room was clean.

We had a reservation here the night of an Imagine Dragon concert plus the World Series was playing at Dodger Stadium. That is to say about everything was booked up and we booked this way ahead. Well, a bit over an hour from us arriving in LA, on our drive there, we get a call from the hotel last minute canceling due to their having a "lock issue." No offer to call a locksmith or otherwise help us. Then it took a while to get the $30 parking fee they charged removed rebated. In fact i had to do a card dispute.

The people that work here are always helpful and kind. Nice and clean accommodations. Highly recommendable. *****

Self check-in was unexpected. That should be upfront, before booking. No interaction to find room, enter gates, attempt several times to use the door access lock. Simply mad 😠

Customer Service was excellent - my initial room was dirty and some of the infrastructure was not functioning as designed. Customer Service upon reading my check-in review called me the morning after my arrival to see if I was open to switching rooms - the team was professional and courteous.

Comfy bed, Incredible views, great communication even though its remote check in I have never had better service from the staff!!

There’s no lobby on site. Check in was a mess. I paid for early check in and they didn’t have anything ready. Had to keep going back and forth over text.

The hotel is on a crazy hill with so many stairs to get to the room with no elevators. Carrying luggage up 4 flights of stairs that wind up hills was not fun. Never saw an ice machine.

Did not get any toilet paper. Staff was unable to provide any until the morning I left.

Staffing was great! Very helpful and responsive. Overall the property was great. There were some areas that looked to be under construction but it did not affect our stay. Beautiful restaurant connected to the property too that is worth a visit. We will definitely be back to this hotel space in our future traveling!

Very unique location, beautiful views Check in was easy Walkable to the boulevard Large space Comfortable bed

beautiful views of the hills and downtown from my room. Hollywood Blvd located at walking distance.

Great place to stay beautiful views only bad part is finding that entrance of that place no big sign or anything little to hard to find. But overall is a great place to stay

Nice l9cation on Hollywoods hills. Very centralized. The room was good and the views from it were awsome. However, the building is hold and definitely need some maintenance and love.

I'm giving this place 5 stars based on the context of what the place actually is and what my expectations were after reading other reviews. I really enjoyed my stay here. We stayed in room 107. The website is a little misleading on what the place actually looks like and the condition of the rooms. The bed was super comfortable and we had a great view of Hollywood from the room and balcony. The room was huge was pretty clean but it could have been a little cleaner with paying attention to detail. The room looks like nice but also looks like it's ready for a remodel with some wear and tear on everything. The parking is limited and can be a little tight. It's a great location if you want to spend time in Hollywood. We spent most of our time in downtown LA and it was about 25 mins from that. I'd stay here again. If the view is important to you, make sure you get one of the rooms that has a view like 107 did. If you're not expecting perfection you'll enjoy it here. I'd stay here again though.

Nothing to put clothes in or on. The TV didn't face the bed which would have been an issue if we could have watched it.

Upon arrival, finding the entrance was a little tricky. You do actually have to drive onto the restaurant property but then stay to the left to find the hotel gate. I also wasn’t prepared for the fact that there was no elevator, which can be tricky if you have a lot of luggage. The size of the room was great and the the view was amazing. The bed was very comfortable and nice bathroom amenities. Cleanliness could have been a little better. The floor felt dirty. The restaurant right next door was a nice bonus. Again, amazing views. Overall the location is also great for getting around Hollywood. Would stay again.

We had an awesome stay! There was no one working but the place was well cleaned and stocked. Everything was virtual including key! It's like for real in the hills so if you like hiking.... then it's walkable! We tried that once. Thank goodness for Uber! We had events in Hollywood and this hotel was the perfect location. Mins to get to the main sites!! We loved it!!

First the good...I really enjoyed the room. Very comfortable and well laid out. The view from the balcony is fantastic and it was quiet as it is far enough away from the city noise that you get with other small hotels in LA. The hotel is on the same property as Yamashiro...a classic Hollywood Japanese restaurant. There is also a great coffee shop on site called Flowering Tree where I enjoyed one of the best cappuccinos I\'ve ever had. They also have great breakfast and lunch options. Overall, I will stay here again. Now that I know how things work a little better...it is unique...it will be one of my go to hotels in LA. Some things to be aware of...there is no elevator. I came in through the gate, walked down to the hotel, after a full day of travel I had to carry my bags up lots of steps to the 4th floor. The security hold is $250.00. This is high for a hotel with few amenities. Even though you can walk ""down" to restaurants and shops in 10 to 15 minutes, I would not suggest walking back up to the hotel. It\'s a steep climb on narrow streets. Be prepared to UBER. Also, make sure your phone is well charged. Your digital key to your room is on your phone. There was no real work space in the room but camping out at the Flowering Tree to work is not a bad option. I would suggest better instructions on how to get in and out of the property. After one day I learned my way around. For some that learning curve can be stressful and will ruin their overall experience.

When we arrived I was sorta creeped out but the room was spacious and very clean. The view was also spectacular!! I do wish there was vending for a late night snack or drink.

There is no hotel lobby or concierge so if you need help, you have to rely on texts and phone calls. Disappointed in no coffee maker in room and no lobby. Had to go out and buy coffee nearby. Never had to deal with that before.

It’s a great little place to stay. But there is really no convenient places to get food. So I would advise to brings your own snacks, water and whatever else you need.

The hotel is in a great location close to the freeway and Hollywood Blvd. Bed was amazingly comfortable with an actual fluffy duvet and fluffy pillows. Nice little balcony overlooking the city. It's virtual check in, which was pretty straight forward until I got a confusing email that asked me to repeat pre checkin and there was no reservation for me. I messaged the front desk twice with no response. I took a chance it was a mistake and received my room key email about 3 hours before check in. Other than that, I was very happy with the hotel overall. Nice clean accommodations with a restaurant and coffee shop. I would stay there again and recommend if you want to stay close to Hollywood or Universal Studios.

This place is cool has a swimming pool a restaurant right next door that is very busy you can see the city light. The only thing is it hard to park there. Another then that it’s awesome

The view was very nice. There was a small kitchen to use and a restaurant right next door. Communication was done through text and that’s how you’ll receive instructions for checkin/out and digital key. Staff was very nice and answered fast when we had questions. Overall nice place to stay and clean. Would come back

I went to a concert at The Hollywood Bowl and enjoyed the 25 minute stroll from the hotel to the venue. The access to Yamashire is unequalled and the dining experience was 5 star, absolutely incredible views and fantastic scenery and great service and delightful food!

Nothing around the room ( not really a hotel) except nice little coffee shop but you have to walk to it. Room was great and view fantastic.

Staffing was great! Very helpful and responsive. Overall the property was great. There were some areas that looked to be under construction but it did not affect our stay. Beautiful restaurant connected to the property too that is worth a visit. We will definitely be back to this hotel space in our future traveling!
