Hollywood Historic Hotel

Exceptional

Ok for a night or...

Liked: The location is good for exploring Hollywood and LA. The coffee shop is really nice.
Disliked: “Historic” is not just a part of the name, it’s also a feature of the rooms. The bathroom is tiny.

Disappointing

Fine, lots of history

Liked: The beds were extremely comfy, as were the pillows. Had great nights sleep there. The walls are thick and you weren't distributed by other guests. Housekeeping were great and kept the room spotless. Lovely pictures on the walls of old Hollywood legends. Air con worked well. Great view of the Hollywood sign from our windows.
Disliked: No phone in the room to call reception. No fan in the bathroom to clear steam or smells. No coffee facilities in the room. I'd read the hotel could be haunted, and we woke up one morning to find our fridge pulled away from the wall and at an awkward angle! This happened whilst we were asleep, so yeah, I think it is!

Met expectations

Liked: A short uber from the Hollywood strip and/or Universal studios
Disliked: Not a huge amount of interest within walking distance

Very good

Pleasant, but could have been...

Liked: It’s decor, something quaint about it. Sweet corner just next to it serves delectable croissants, pies and coffee .Daily housekeeping
Disliked: Rooms were small, as were the bathrooms.Average toiletries.No coffee maker in the room.Rooms for storage of luggage was small too.No restrooms in the lobby. On arrival , We were directed to use a washroom in a room which had been vacated by another guest .. and was in the process of cleaning The lady at the front desk was unfriendly, uncooperative and spoke very arrogantly .. a lot of attitude .. not exactly a great way of attracting custom.Location was also just okay.

Exceptional

Liked: The staff were very friendly and the bed very comfortable. Having a fridge in the room is an added bonus
Disliked: The toilet wasn't working properly and seemed to block at times. Not a big issue but may need to be looked at for future guests (room 308)

Very good

Liked: The staff was very friendly and the room was great for the price. Extreme value for money for sure.
Disliked: My main gripes center around 2 things: 1) Location. I am not from L.A. and I was a little more concerned with the neighborhood than I wish I was. It turned out to be fine, but I thought about it a lot.2) Noise level at night due to the in-house bar. There is an outside area, and my window pointed right at it. It was super noisy until well after midnight, which I wasn't expecting. That was a shame.
