Top Universal City Hotel Reviews

Kasa Sunset Los Angeles

10/10 Excellent

"Expansive urban loft feel with an industrial yet comfortable room. North facing city side rooms have large wrap around windows with an incredible view of the Hollywood hills. The slightly larger room upgrade for a nominal difference was well worth the view. Central location as well to DTLA or to West Hollywood. One caveat for the non-technically savvy is the virtual check-in and entirely electronic (fully person-less) process. But for the cost and with that in mind, great stay—very comfortable for the cost and will be looking to come back again when in this area."
