Location to Universal Studios

The El Royale Hotel is surrounded by some epic local eats! Just a hop away, you can chill at Lal Mirch Indian Restaurant for spicy bites or grab some late-night treats at Tortas Mexico. Plus, the staff were super chill and went out of their way to help us feel like we belonged.

The air conditioner in the room was disturbingly loud, contributing to a few sleepless nights—definitely not the best 'white noise' I've experienced. Limited hanging space in the cottage means you might find yourself draping clothes awkwardly, not ideal for those traveling with pressed outfits. Parking feels a bit cramped, which could be tricky if you roll in with a larger vehicle. Also, navigating out past parked cars and overgrown bushes posed a real visibility risk—stay sharp when you get behind the wheel.

fantastic location for exploring universal studios and parks nearby

I had a wonderful stay here, being just a few steps from the Fox and Hounds pub and only about 2 km from Universal Studios made my weekend city strolls super enjoyable. although the room was clean and updated, I could have used a coffee maker for those early mornings but it’s not a dealbreaker.

Friendly local recommendations from the staff.

Check-in process was unprofessional and confusing.

We visited for a birthday trip to enjoy Universal Studios, and the proximity to the park made our trip super convenient. The welcoming staff offered us cookies upon check-in, which was a nice touch that made us feel right at home. Our room was clean and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after busy days. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend it for anyone looking to stay near Universal.

100% recommend for short stay

Amazing location, friendly staff, with the manager and Jorge, the night shift maintenance guy, always willing to help make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. You’re just 1 km away from Universal Studios for easy access to the attractions.

the air conditioning unit was a bit noisy. but the big shower head was great, and i loved that we had a mini fridge in our room. plus, the staff was super friendly and accommodating throughout our stay.

We loved the cozy atmosphere and the beautifully updated bathroom. Xavier, the concierge, provided fantastic tips for our adventure at Universal Studios, making our stay unforgettable.

Family find a cozy escape

Had a fantastic stay, in a clean and spacious room with two queen beds. The staff were cute, especially Xavier, who provided great tips on where to eat and even joked with us about Jurassic Park.

It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but it was worth every penny.

It was just a perfect match for a weekend stopover in Los Angeles with good value. The room had a noisy AC, but we managed to stay warm during our cold visit. Bring earplugs for a quieter night.
