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.

Overall experience was what I would expect from a Hilton. Room was clean, staff was friendly and the service at the breakfast and restaurant was a highlight of our stay. The pool was nice and I enjoyed a quick workout in the fitness area. The proximity to universal studios was also perfect for our stay.

It is a nice and clean hotel. In the past I have been fooled by hotels that post nice pictures and you get a room that is falling apart and that is not what I experienced here. It is a short walk over to Universal Studios or you can take the free shuttle that drops you off at city walk. Shout out to Julio at the front.
