Just came back from a terrific stay at the Universal Hilton over the Memorial weekend. You can’t get a better location than the Hilton if you’re visiting the Universal Studio. The room was good size, comfy bed, clean and no problems with noise. The view of Studio City, Hollywood Hills and part of the lower lot of Universal Studio (we... More

We have stayed at the Hilton Universal Studio many times over several years. Always a perfect stay and the location cannot be beat. There is a shuttle to the park and the Universal Studio's City walk. So you spend the day at the park, back to the hotel to shower and get ready for dining and a nigh of entertainment... More

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at this hotel. I am somewhat jaded as my Los Angeles hotels experiences have been less than remarkable. This hotel is the exception. Great location within easy 10 minute walking distance to Universal Studios and City Walk. Check-in was a breeze and the doormen were helpful without any attitude at all. The hotel... More

Stayed here recently with the family. The location is good for those wanting to do the Universal Studios theme park, but the hotel seemed dated and not up to usual Hilton standards. For example, the hotels at Universal Studios Florida are much higher quality. The price (I assume due to location) was not justified by the hotel rooms and amenities.... More

This hotel is ideally located for Universal Studios and City Walk, both being a 5 min walk up the hill (a free shuttle is available but seemed pointless!). It is also a 10 min walk down the hill to the metro stop, which takes you in to Hollywood. Citywalk is a great place to shop and eat out, and Universal... More

Well, you have only one mission and that is of course to go to Universal studios, if that is your mission as well, this hotel is the one to go for. You can easily walk to the studios AND to the Universal vity walk were you can find all kind of restaurants. That means you dont have to eat at... More

You couldn't find a better location to visit Universal Studios. We had two rooms, one on the 9th floor and one on the 22nd floor. Both were very nice with great views. Only thing is that if someone has a disability, you should wait for the shuttle service or call a taxi instead of trying to walk to Universal City... More

Stayed at the Hilton Universal for a conference in LA. The hotel is in very good condition, with nice public spaces and well maintained, comfortable rooms. My room was quite large for an urban hotel. The location, across the street from Universal Studios, would be very convenient for those visiting the park. Otherwise, there isn't much near by. The hotel... More

This is a fairly old hotel but well maintained and comfortable. If you ask in reception they will give you a promotional code for free wifi in your room for one hour per day. In the lobby there is 24 hour free wifi. The hotel is across the road from universal, so within walking distance. There is also a regular... More
