The Hollywood Pensione was definitely a great find. We arrived in town hours before check-in, so our room wasn't ready yet. However, Erika and Dougald greeted us before 8 am and took our bags for us. They offered to put them in our room later that day when it was ready! The rest of our stay was filled with the... More

We travel to LA once or twice a year to visit family, preferring a B&B to a chain hotel. This year was the first time we stayed at the Hollywood Pensione. What a find! Comfortable in every way. Erika and Dougald make you feel like you are old friends. Off street parking, and even better, easy access to public transportation... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Hollywood Pensione, and I would certainly go back again. The owners obviously take great care and pride in their home and have thought of many little extra details to make their guests comfortable. Erika & Dougald and their helper, Michelle?, were very gracious, kind, and welcoming. We stayed in the Bamboo room, and it... More

I travel to LA frequently for work, and normally stay downtown at a large chain hotel. With no rooms available downtown last week due to sporting events, I had to expand my search more broadly, and ended up at this nearby but certainly non-traditional (from a business travel perspective) lodging. I enjoyed being here; it was a nice break from... More

I loved, loved, loved my stay at the Hollywood Pensione. I travel a lot for work, and never have I ever felt so at home. You have your own room, bathroom, fridge in the kitchen and breakfast every morning when you wake up. Where else can you pick grapefruit from a tree in the back yard and squeeze fresh juice... More

Hollywood Pensione offered a calm and friendly retreat in a great location near Griffith Park in Los Angeles. Owners Erika and Dougald renovated their Craftsman home beautifully to include 3 guest rooms on the second floor, complete with shared kitchen, sitting area, and outdoor balcony overlooking their shady backyard with off-street parking. Woke up each morning to a breakfast surprise.... More

This is the place to which I'll return year after year! It is a house. Almost a B&B experience with a sweet continental breakfast of homemade pastries and fresh fruit with coffee and tea. The owners live on the bottom level of the old beautiful and large two story house that was gorgeously refurbished and so artfully furnished. Each of... More

This was such a great find. It was a true home away from home, and a very inviting place to stay. The rooms are really large and comfortable, and no detail has been overlooked to make your stay enjoyable. The kitchen is great, and you can make yourself at home there, not just for breakfast. And speaking of breakfast, the... More

Great place to stay with excellent hosts!! Dougald and Erika went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality was well beyond expectations.... Got some great tips on places to visit and walks around Hollywood. We will be back!!!
