The hotel

A Hollywood hangout with noteworthy neighbours, this LA bolthole’s just a block from the theme park heaven of Universal Studios, and just a subway trip from the star-studded sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard. That hasn’t stopped Hilton Los Angeles Universal City coming up with a few extra treats of its own though – our favourite being FIVE on the Hill, where you can enjoy signature dishes and freshly-curated cocktails with Hollywood Hills in the background. Most make a beeline straight for Universal Studios – and, despite it being just around the corner, there’s a complimentary shuttle to save you walking (great for hot days!). And, while you’re there, you can also take in a movie, grab cocktails or craft beers, hit big-name shops, and dine at celeb-chef eateries in the neon lustre of Universal CityWalk.

Our rooms were located on the 4th floor which allowed us quick access to to lobby. Housekeeping did a great job cleaning the rooms & even did little things like arranged my makeup/ toiletries neatly in the bathroom. I ordered room service & the food was delicious! The rooms are modern, beds were comfortable & bathrooms were beautiful! Pool was heated & pool bar was Gud! We will definitely return. Read less

The hotel was clean and every staff member we interacted with was super friendly. Breakfast with Javier was a treat! Universal park and City Walk was an easy half mile walk.

Absolutely amazing staff! After a truly terrible air/uber travel experience we finally arrived. All of that travel terribleness melted away as Benny checked us in. He was absolutely magnificent! Moved swiftly to get us into our room and was very, very sympathetic to our travels. The amazing staff continued with Luis! Helpful, professional and went over and above. My son thoroughly enjoyed the hydrospa in the lobby, which brought us to our next interaction with the amazing Linda! Funny, professional, sweet. We had a really good laugh. The staff is phenomenal! I wish I got more people's names because everybody who was in the lobby, that we saw, had a smile on their face and a nice hello. Everyone was always willing and happy to offer help. Pillows smelled weird and Breakfast was just okay, those are my only not so great thing to say. We look forward to our next visit. Read less

Had a great couple of days at the Hilton. The room was exceptional. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The very best part of our trip was hanging out with Chad in the bar. He treated us as if we were royalty. If you are ever in the area, stop in to see him. He is truly the best at what he does.
