I’ve stayed at this property a few times now. It’s always very clean and the location is perfect.

Felt like i was staying in someone's rundown apartment, all the way to the random 2 forks and a knife by the sink. Was afraid to walk on the floor barefoot. The shower curtain was so far from the shower that the bathroom floor was completely soaked. Big disappointment

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!

Like Hollywood itself, the promo reel for this hotel is fairly airbrushed. We had a clean, very spacious one bedroom which was ideally situated near the Hollywood Bowl. We ended walking back to the hotel after our concert but note, it is a fairly steep endeavour. It was worth it though as ride-share looked to be at least an hour wait for such a short distance. Read others reviews to decide whether this Hotel will suit your expectations. Hollywood Hills Hotel was great for us as we only needed it for one night. Be patient for your room key to be sent as it literally is sent to you just before check-in. For international travellers, you will a full on plan for your phone that allows DMs to your phone number. Communication with staff by email was very good with a quick response time.

This hotel is not only a deal, but the views of Hollywood are amazing...and the location is excellent.

The room did not look what was advertised,
Very hard to find location and room was very hard walk up down old stairs.
There is no lobby or front desk.
Staff is gone after 5:30pm so good luck getting towels and help.
Over all not happy with experience

I actually liked this slightly seedy hotel.
For these reasons, I would book this place again:
Because it overlooked the other close by buildings and out over Hollywood. The room was large and comfortable w a kitchen and supplies. I also had a sentimental reason for wanting to try it out as my husband and I had been at both Yamashiro's and the Magic Castle many times in the past. The price was reasonable.
The bathroom left a lot to be desired as the tub was strangely corroded.
I would have loved to be informed that there was no elevator and the only way to the rooms were stairs...at night with luggage.
I would have also loved more and better directions to get to the rooms. There was no one to help in person -
I found myself at the Yamashiro's valet area where a valet was not friendly and just asked me to drive out but had no empathy for my looking for the rooms at night. I guess he was busy but it was slightly scary for a single woman at night.

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!
