    I travel extensively and this is one of the BEST experiences in a hotel I have had. The staff, housekeeping, outdoor area, decor of each room, everything was perfect! I loved my room and loved the care and attentiveness of the staff. I will definitely plan on another trip to LA just to stay at the Prospect hotel again!

    Came here for our anniversary. This place is a 10. From the amazing staff to the beautiful well appointed rooms the fantastic 12 o’clock standard checkout. The bed was absolutely delicious. We stayed in the Omar Sharif Room. I highly recommend it. Amazing value. And it’s close to all the fun. We will truly always make it a part of our relationship to come back here.

    The Prospect exceeded every expectation. I was blown away by the level of service. The lovely woman who worked at the front desk was so incredibly kind and helpful. She parked my car, unloaded my bags, made local suggestions, and even let me check in a bit early (I had just arrived from overseas, so I was very grateful to be able to shower!). The Greta Garbo room is amazing. Loved the interior design and the finishes, but the breakfast room, the hidden bar, and the claw foot tub were really special. The courtyard and its fire pits felt so private and peaceful. I will certainly be staying here again.

    Only disappointment was a bizarre 4:30 PM arrival experience in which the frontdoor was locked with no one answering doorbell for 10 min until a cleaning person did so. Made for a very poor welcome, and exacerbated by a male front desk clerk whom seemed non-plussed by our inconvenience. Thankfully night and morning clerks were very engaged, helpful and kind. Hint: rooms can be small so spend a little more for the Grand rooms.

    The hotel is beautiful and incredibly unique. The staff genuinely wanted to be helpful and you can tell they love the hotel too. The room was really comfortable and thoughtfully designed. Really cool, old time, glamorous Hollywood vibe. The courtyard is an oasis. Can’t say enough great things. I don’t even like L.A. that much but I’d come back to stay at the Prospect. Special place..

    My stay at this hotel was truly wonderful and left the warmest impressions. The room was absolutely stunning — beautiful, cozy, and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest details; it was a place I never wanted to leave. The atmosphere, service, and attention to detail made this visit feel very special. A special thank you to the administrator, Kiki, for her kindness, care, and genuine hospitality — she made me feel welcome from the very first moment. It was a truly lovely experience that I would be happy to return to again.

    Pros: cute little boutique hotel with interesting rooms and really nice small central courtyard. Staff was fantastic. Cons: only a few people working so, even though they were all great, services are limited. We didn’t love the location because it’s on the far eastern side of West Hollywood but if you want to hang in the more touristy part of Hollywood blvd it’s fine. Also imposed this funky $30 per night fee for internet and a continental bf. Did not like that arrangement

    As close to perfect as a stay gets. This place is stylish, tranquil, friendly, and consistently excellent in every way. Our room (17, the Brando room) was spacious, spotless, and conveniently laid-out. The staff is uniformly helpful, professional, and friendly. The neighborhood, being Hollywood, is mixed. But the area immediately around the hotel is easily walkable, with several appealing coffee spots and restaurants nearby. The Prospect Hollywood has become our go-to place to stay in LA.

    Boutique hotel that was a throwback to the Golden Age of Hollywood. Room numbers don’t exist here. Instead, each room is named after a movie star of old. From Judy Garland and Lauren Bacall, to Marlon Brando and Omar Shariff. I personally stayed in the Bette Davis Premiere Room. It was spacious, with a king bed and sitting area. A hidden mini-bar that was fully stocked with everything one might need for a good time. But the gem of this room was the clawfoot tub, perfect for a relaxing soak after walking up and down Hollywood Blvd. The staff are attentive and accommodating. The valet parking is an extra added touch. No complaints. This should be a five star hotel in my opinion.

    The staff was very nice and the pastries in the morning were a nice touch. It's clearly an older place so the AC was pretty finicky. I liked the quiet street and the fact that it was away from the main road. Unfortunately the quiet atmosphere was interrupted by the fact that the hotel itself plays music outside from the early morning until 11pm. Being at the front of the hotel, the noise was loud from my window. They were accommodating when I asked them to turn it down though.

    Even though we had a good stay at the hotel, we later found out that the breakfast was not free and we were charged for a $34.26 service fee for the continental breakfast which should have been included when booking on hotels.com. Furthermore, by reviewing the hotel policies page after the fact, a service charge should have included “champagne and savory quiches” and an afternoon aperitif hour that we were not offered at all (https://theprospecthollywood.com/policies/). Despite multiple email communications regarding the misleading listing on hotels.com and the lack of disclosures by the hotel staff at the time of check-in, our request for a refund was denied by the management. This unfortunately put a major stain on an otherwise enjoyable stay at this property.

    We arrived at 10AM & they stored our luggage (no charge) while we went out for the day. Upon returning at 3pm, Kiki walked us to our room where they'd already put our bags. She explained our room key would also unlock the hotel's front door. We appreciated they kept it locked at all times; you could either ring the bell to be let in or use your key. I selected this hotel for its proximity to the Hollywood Bowl since seeing a show was the whole reason we'd flown to LA. The excellent reviews were the other reason I chose to stay here. And boy, it did NOT disappoint! We were in Rm 14 - Rita Hayworth. It was spacious, clean, & the decor was funky and classy. As others have said, the bed was really comfortable. We slept great & were impressed at how quiet it was in our room, given we were facing the street. I opted to pay the extra $30 fee for the aperitif hour (5-6pm) & coffee/tea/pastries/fruit breakfast (7-10am). Definitely worth it when you consider what we would've spent on a few glasses of sparkling wine, unlimited coffee/tea, chocolate croissants & muffins if we'd gone to a restaurant for that. If you're going to the Hollywood Bowl, THIS is where you want to be. I had looked it up on Google Maps & still didn't realize just how easy of a walk it would be. THANK YOU to the entire staff for making this trip with my daughter an incredible memory! We WILL be back!

    I enjoyed an outstanding experience at The Prospect Hotel - didn’t really know what to expect, but booked because of the good price and high Expedia rating. Turns out this is my new favorite small hotel in LA. The property is in exceptional condition - I heard today is their 4th anniversary, but in addition to being in great condition everything is spotlessly clean, and the place really captures the glamour of Old Hollywood - down to the rooms being named after classic stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age. I was welcomed during check-in with a glass of sparkling wine, shown up to the room, and even greeted by name when I came downstairs the next morning. The WiFi worked great, and there’s a superb little courtyard for relaxing and enjoying a drink in the evenings. Really exceptional setting, and service - I highly recommend The Prospect for business and leisure travelers.

I stayed in the James Dean room, which was phenomenal: beautifully decorated, spotless, and super comfortable. I also loved that it’s within walking distance of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, such a fun bonus! The outside patio was the perfect spot to relax and unwind, and the bar was excellent too, the Old Fashioned I ordered was one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything about this place exceeded my expectations and I’m already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing stay!

    My wife and I had an amazing experience. We stayed here since we were going to the Mumford and Sons concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Hotel was great. Staff was very friendly. We walked back post concert and felt safe. We would definitely stay here again.

    The hotel is really nice. Comfortable bed. Clean facilities. Friendly staff. The only negative i would say is there is no elevator if you are taking luggage upstairs, but the staff helped us with our luggage so no big deal. Check in is a little confusing, and super tight driverway. But the staff will valet park for you. All in all, great hotel

    CONS: Expedia does not mention a $300 charge/card hold for incidentals. Not a huge deal since it gets refunded at the end of your stay (minus incidentals), just wanted to give everyone a heads-up.

    The property had a boutique hotel vibe, with a limited number of rooms and an old Hollywood feel. The courtyard was very zen, and the location is very central. However, the best part of my stay was the staff, who were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and kind. I was genuinely surprised, as Californians often seem snobby and short. I will stay there again.

    What a gem! Exceeded my expectations in terms of aesthetics, cleanliness and service. Close to Hollywood Walk of Fame but safely tucked in a quiet street.

    I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough if you’re wanting to stay in the Hollywood area. It’s on a side street in Franklin village, kind of unassuming (easy to miss that it’s a hotel) but once you’re behind its doors you’re in a little oasis. The inner courtyard is quiet and peaceful. The room was pure luxury - old glam Hollywood in a really tasteful way (I’ve stayed at other Hollywood hotels that attempted this aesthetic/theme less successfully). This place was vintage without being musty, high end all around — sheets, products, furnishings. While glamorous it also was super comfortable. I slept so well here. The only (very minor) drawback was the building is old and there was a tiny bit of “creaking” from footsteps of the room above me. But that was nothing compared to the overall experience which was so quiet, comfortable, peaceful, luxurious and glamorous. Although I was traveling alone I would say this is a very romantic hotel and would be an ideal place to come with a lover. I had mixed experience with the staff. The person who welcomed me had the air of someone (somewhat) trying to be nice who just doesn’t seem to have a naturally friendly disposition. They weren’t outright rude, just a little cold and unfriendly. The next day when I discovered my hairdryer was missing from my room the gentleman who helped me was genuinely friendly and helpful. I would have liked to have been offered an upgrade or some other benefit as an Expedia VIPGuest. I received nothing.

    This was a quiet romantic boutique hotel reminiscent of the 30's and 40's. Easily walkable to restaurants and nightclubs. The only bad thing was sticker shock on the parking fee. It advertised at $45 a night so was expecting $90 fee. It ended up being $167 with outrageous tourist and taxes, etc.
