About

The Charlie West Hollywood

The Charlie West Hollywood is a 4-star hotel set in a quiet garden compound on North Sweetzer Avenue, just off the bustle of West Hollywood. The property is made up of cottage-style rooms and suites, many with private balconies or patios, giving it a residential, unhurried feel rather than a conventional hotel tower.

Rooms come with practical touches like a coffee machine, tea and coffee facilities, a dining table, and a full kitchen in many units — plus thoughtful extras such as a laptop-size safe, a minibar, and central heating. The on-site team can arrange car hire, tours, and grocery shopping, while gated parking and an electric vehicle charging station make it easy for guests arriving by car.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Garden setting and cottage-style rooms — Guests repeatedly mention the peaceful, leafy grounds and the private, residential feel of the standalone cottages. The garden view and courtyard are called out as highlights that make the stay feel calm and secluded.
  • In-room kitchens and practical amenities — Many rooms include a full kitchen or kitchenette with a dining table, cookware, and utensils. Guests highlight having tea/coffee facilities, a fridge, and an oven as convenient for longer stays or self-catering.
  • Gated parking and EV charging — The property offers on-site parking behind a gate, which several guests note as a real advantage in a city where parking is often scarce. An electric vehicle charging station is available for EV drivers.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Dining options are limited — The hotel does not have a full restaurant or bar on site; the Dining category scores notably lower than other categories at 6 out of 10. Guests looking for a substantial meal may need to head out to nearby Melrose or West Hollywood restaurants.
  • Check-in window is short — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 17:00, which may be restrictive for guests arriving earlier or later. While one guest mentions a late arrival being handled well, the official window is narrow compared to many hotels.
  • Inconsistent staff warmth — While several reviews praise the staff — especially Masha — a few guests felt that some team members were not very friendly. Service can be uneven, so your experience may vary depending on who you deal with.

“The hotel is stunning and perfectly placed near a theatre. Our unit was unique with a larger bed, and the room had plenty of supplies: a laptop-size safe, a minibar, and central heating. The location is very close to restaurants, shopping, and the main Hollywood attractions.”

“I loved the stylish decor of the one-bedroom suite. The calm courtyard was perfect for unwinding after a long day. The staff were attentive and quick to respond to our needs. The garden view added a serene quality to our stay.”

“We arrived late at night and received a very warm welcome from Masha at the concierge. It felt like driving into a magical garden — a private, quiet retreat in a bustling city. The 'Ruth' house had a spacious open-plan living area and kitchen, a large bedroom upstairs with an incredibly comfortable bed. It was bright and sunny in the morning with a lovely view of the courtyard. The privacy was great, and Masha was always available for help. The location is very central for visiting tourist spots.”
