About
Hilton Los Angeles-Universal City
Hilton Los Angeles-Universal City sits on Universal Hollywood Drive, putting guests directly opposite the entrance to Universal Studios Hollywood. This 4-star property is a practical base for theme park visitors, with a free shuttle running to the park entrance and a location that makes walking an easy option. The hotel is also roughly a 10-minute drive from Lakeside Golf Club, should you want a round away from the crowds.
Rooms are straightforward and comfortable, with options ranging from King rooms to two-Queen configurations and larger suites. Many rooms include sofa beds, making them flexible for families. The property is equipped with an outdoor heated pool, a jacuzzi, and a well-regarded fitness centre with free weights.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Right at the gates of Universal Studios — The hotel sits directly across from the theme park entrance, and a complimentary shuttle adds extra convenience for guests heading to the park.
- High marks for service and staff — Guests consistently praise the attentive and accommodating staff, from ticket advice to general helpfulness.
- Comfortable, well-equipped rooms — Rooms come with air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, and many include sofa beds or universal views. The King rooms drew particular praise for their views and comfort.
- Outdoor pool and jacuzzi — A heated outdoor pool, sun loungers, and a clean, warm jacuzzi give guests a place to unwind after park days.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities are the weakest point — The Facilities rating sits at 6.7, the lowest of all categories. While the pool and gym are fine, some guests may find the overall state of amenities less polished than expected for the price.
- Electric shock from elevator buttons — One guest reported a small electric shock when pressing elevator buttons—a maintenance quirk that suggests not everything is in top condition.
- Paid Wi-Fi in rooms — Unlike many hotels in this class, Wi-Fi in rooms is not complimentary, which can add to the bill.
- Price is on the higher side — Rooms start at around £350 per night, which is steep for the category, especially if you plan to spend most of your time at the park.
