Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel Review

Service from arrival to departure was amazing. We asked for a room change Midway through our stay (we had a great 1st floor suite in the cabanas) and they provided an even better cabana room (The Marilyn Monroe suite was unbelievable location and room). Cudos to HR!

Loved the History and service was wonderful, it's a must for a stay in Hollywood

The Library Bar at the Roosevelt was a pretty cool place where you can ask the bartender to make you custom drinks using whatever liquors, fruits and vegetables they have available. You won't find a lot of traditional cocktails here but instead you get the freedom to experiment and find something you like.

Its a great place for drinks. There are 4 bars throughout the resort and the cocktails are super creative. I love the look for the resort, its a great place to chill and have some good fun.

Great place 2 enjoy XXX and party that's the last historical Hotel left in Hollywood come visit before that have plans to demolish the whole building.

Great hotel, Clean rooms, Beautiful bars and a relaxing pool. Service by the pool could be a bit quicker but maybe I'm just a bit impatient.

Staff was friendly, customer service was great, room was clean and comfortable, location is excellent.

Decent enough food. Pleasant, quiet setting by the poolside to get out of the Hollywood Blvd madness. 3.5 stars.

Omg what can I say 5 Stars is not enough the place was gorgeous clean open the pool was magnificent the consierge was most helpful the restaurants and for as well as service a 10 plus thank you

Our favorite place to stay on many visits to this place! A true old-world hotel with all its charm and a great location. The room had a huge bed, and the bathroom was equipped with a walk-in shower, lots of hot water with great pressure. Our window looked out onto a business building and overlooked the busy street below. A truly wonderful, classic hotel!

The hotel is really very good, friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere, excellent service!!

A really beautiful classic retro hotel with a feeling of the Otterman Empire in the 1930s. But, very prickly staff. Me thinks, they are only trained to tolerate affluent guests or super stars. I asked to use their swimming pool for an hour a day at 6.30 a.m. for an 11-week period and they snootily declined my request even though they told me the pool is invariably not in use by any guests at that unearthly hour! They said if I paid $50 per swim, it would be permissible. Forth with I made alternative arrangements. I swim free now at the West Hollywood Swim Center. Forgive and forget.

Went to The Hollywood Roosevelt for the Tropicana Bar. First time there. It was great. The '60's theme was refreshing and made us feel like we were hanging out where I am sure many well known people have. Spent $30 on one beer and one Tequila Sunrise but it is on Hollywood Blvd so that is expected. Would highly recommend.

Amazing place! Amazing pool! I wish I lived in LA, I'd be here all the time. Gorgeous location for drinks in the evening - the pool is beautiful and the lights strung up on the palm trees add so much to the ambiance. Can't wait to go back.

Room was clean. Only stayed for a short time to meet friends.

I have been visiting the spare room and watching my friends' bowling tournament. The Roosevelt has a really nice and chill vibe. Staff is very friendly and observant . Roosevelt lobby wifi is convenient and usually stable.

Love the ambiance and the outdoor seating with firepits. Great food selection - one of my favorite pizzas in Oakland!

As we stayed at this Hotel whilst in LAX we decided to try their restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. The service was first class and the food & wine was of a high standard.

It's a nice hotel, not very clean though. You pay for the experience itself. I wouldn't go there for more than 3 or 4 nights as it is a party hotel. Staff was a bit arrogant, especially at the pool bar. Cocktails are expensive.

The service and room was excellent enjoyed my stay

The lobby was busy as ambiance is very nostalgic. The speak easy bar with a balling alley is definitely to visit but need an effort with their cocktails.

I was at the Roosevelt for Vulture Festival (Off Book). The live show was in a fantastic and cozy lounge. Great setup by the venue and great show by Zach and Jess.

The Cabanas with the swimming pool in the middle is perfect for someone looking for a chill party atmosphere.

Wonderful location, historical significance and TWO wonderful bars.

Fairly spectacular hotel. the architecture is fantastic, as is the pool and history. The staff leave much to be desired. Right on the Hollywood walk of fame and very near a subway station.

The food and drinks were tasty and came quickly. Slightly overpriced.

Great location. Super central and the vibe of the hotel is swanky. Feels like you're a celebrity when you walk in.

Great hotel and location! The pool was nice, but i would not recommend it for families with small kids, because its more like a "party" hotel for teens.

My friends and I go to the bar by the lobby all the time. It has a classy "old Hollywood" feel that's hard to find in an otherwise gross part of town

Came to retrieve an object left behind at the hotel but they couldn't find the email verifying I was coming to pick it up

Beautifully restored social gathering venue with upscale amenities.

They didn't let us bowl I the Spare Room because of the fine print in the dress code

Beautifully kept historical location. Vibrant sitting area in the Lobby during the evening. Comfortable beds and chairs in room.

When you have to pay extra for wifi in 2019 !!! rooms expansive(everywhere in La) for the quality you get . Tiny badrooms and we occupied a room for 4 with 2 .

Bar is definitely great but a bit pricier than what it should be for what it is

I had a room out the back by the pool, patio doors opening onto the pool area
The hotel is ideally placed for everything Hollywood
Sadly nothing like it's portrayed in the movies, a couple of blocks in the wrong direction it's a complete dump

great ambience all around the hotel and it's many corners - don't miss the The Magic Show with Justin Willman!

Friendly, professional staff. Interesting atmosphere.

Luxury but no wifi except for guests who booked 1 room! For a luxury hotel I find it NAVRANT and so I do not put 5 stars .....

Hotel is hunted ???. It is called HAUNTED, which may or may not be so. The first Academy Award was given out here on this day (May 16th) in 1929.

This is a really charming hotel. It's comprised of two intertwined sections. The tower and the cabanas.

I would avoid the tower building for lodging. Old fashioned and a bit stale.

These stars are for the Cabana rooms. They are adjacent to the gorgeous pool and pool bar. So fun. You can literally put your book down in your quiet room, open your patio door, walk thru your private hedge and it's just another 20 feet to order a cocktail. Peace-and-quiet to party in less than 30 seconds.

You get a great little private patio too with a day bed and nothing but greenery seperating you from the action. Just think what could happen on that day bed. ;)

The pool is surrounded by mile high palm trees, pretty lights, views of old-school Hollywood buildings peeking out over the lush green environment, and tons of comfy places to hang. It's a little oasis in the middle of Hollywood. (Too bad it's on Hollywood Blvd or it would be 5 stars for sure).

Douche factor is also low, which is a big rare plus for a swank pool bar.

In the tower... don't stay there but... Library bar is an awesome little quirky bar. The diner, restaurant and lobby bar are nice, but a bit whatever. You want to find the hidden bar that has the bowling alley in it. There. Now you have mission.

Our company held an event here, it was nice no, complaints

Ate at 52 degrees. Food was decent, but the order was messed up a little. Overall I would return, even though it was pretty expensive.

Amazing hotel, expensive but worth the money with its location and amenities!

Burgers are amazing and the truffle fries are addicting. Definitely recommend

I stayed in the room across from the room that suppose to be haunted. I had no ideal a guest told me an the next day my key for my room didnt work smh. I really enjoyed my week here, the service was great. I couldnt stop tipping people lol. Wish marilyn monroe would of appeared in this mirror. I will be back soon

Went for a birthday pool party. Can't fault the hotel for the majority of the mess, but to have so few lounge chairs with so many people visiting was bizarre. Music wasn't bad half the time. Wait staff was nice enough. Hosts were flaky.

I stayed for three nights and had a great time. The pool is a lot of fun, drinks are a little expensive but worth it. It's in the heart of Hollywood and you get to see all kinds. If you're a tourist this is the place.

Thought we'd splurge a little and get a $300 room in the middle of a city. Who charges extra for WIFI? It's the 21st century. I've gotten better service from a Holiday Inn Express. You're just paying for the name. Beautiful hotel though.

Food was frozen tasting, serverice was sub par. Drinks were from a can...

Little bit pricey, but fantastic atmosphere. Bar had a dark speakeasy feel, but great sitting area in the middle. Great food, drinks, service.

This place is amazing. Great service. Historical. Fun. Great crowd.

Fantastic hotel centrally located within walking distance of many Hollywood attractions. Great pool, wonderful rooms and excellent service. Used to always stay here, until we moved nearby.

Staying at this hotel was an amazing experience. They have a whole bunch of bars and events.

Top-notch service, old school Hollywood charm and beyond perfect location.

Location was perfect. Loved our view. Enjoyed the professionalism of the staff. Everything was very clean and accommodating. We felt very comfortable here and would definitely visit again. This hotel is highly recommended!

My recent Trip to the LA was very disappointed that the Hotel ordered a shuttle to airport $36 us dollars, shuttle never arrived and we where told to book a Taxi at our own cost and almost lost our flight.
very poorly handled by staff

Our stay at this hotel was memorable! Our upgraded room was very big, and the bed was super comfy. They have a nice clean pool, and the staff was so helpful and welcoming. They sent up a delicious cake and a card for our stay here! We will come back and recommend this hotel to all of our friends!
