The Spotlight on El Royale Gardens Near Universal Studios

Cozy Studio City Charm Just Minutes from the Music

El Royale Gardens Near Universal Studios is a charming, retro-style property nestled in Studio City. With thoughtful in-room touches like flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and coffee-making facilities, it offers a relaxed and budget-friendly home base just a short walk from top attractions. Located less than a mile from Universal Studios Hollywood and under 5 miles from the Hollywood Bowl and Hollywood Walk of Fame, it's a great pick for music lovers looking to stay close to the action without the downtown chaos.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s prime location means you can walk to a metro stop in 10 minutes or hop on a nearby bus in 5, making late-night post-show returns easy even without a car. Being close to Universal Studios and Hollywood venues makes it a convenient launch pad for concert nights. While the area is lively, the hotel maintains a quiet, laid-back vibe—perfect for winding down after a loud gig. Though check-out is on the earlier side at 10:00 AM, the staff is friendly and helpful with luggage storage if you're not quite ready to leave.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun but affordable LA getaway
  • Solo travelers ticking off their dream concert bucket list
  • Couples enjoying a weekend of live music and sightseeing
  • Fans who want a peaceful place to crash after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want convenience and comfort

Food and Drink Options

While El Royale Gardens doesn't have a full-service restaurant, you're just steps away from the food-friendly Ventura Boulevard strip, lined with late-night diners, taco joints, and cafes. There's no 24/7 room service, but in-room fridges and coffee makers make snacking and mornings easier. Breakfast is available, so you can recharge after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is quiet, but you’re within walking or short ride distance of Studio City bars, lounges, and even some live music venues. Hollywood nightlife is just a metro stop or two away, offering everything from rooftop cocktails to dance floors with live DJs. For a more relaxed evening, Ventura Boulevard’s casual bar scene is right around the corner.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent location. Many rave about how easy it is to get to Universal Studios and Hollywood attractions. The property’s retro charm and quiet atmosphere also win points with travelers looking for a break from the LA hustle.

Areas for Improvement

The 10:00 AM check-out can feel early after a late night out—set an alarm if you’re not a morning person! Also, while it’s close to transit, rideshare options may be easier late at night. A few guests noted that the decor is a bit dated, but most found it added to the vintage vibe.

The Bottom Line

If you want a quiet, convenient, and friendly place to crash after a show without blowing your budget, El Royale Gardens Near Universal Studios hits the right notes.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Crooked and Confusing

Liked: They were kind enough to look after our bags. As we flew in earlier earlier than their Check-in time.
Disliked: They must not have used a level as everything is weirdly crooked. Sinks, light sockets and switches very weird. Check out time is 10 AM and at 10:05 They were pounding on the door, asking us when we were leaving. Desk guy was friendly but also a little strange.The blinds don't keep the sun out, so if you're used to sleeping in a dark place, bring an eye mask because the sun beams through the blinds in the morning.Other than that and only one mirror at the sink, making it difficult for more than 1 female to get ready for the day, it was great.

Great value!

Liked: The hotel is near Universal Studios, and it was very clean and comfortable.
Disliked: The room was very clean, but some parts of looked old (worn wood and molding, stuff like that). That being said, the value was good so can't complain much about this.
