Fenix Hotel Hollywood

Thank you, 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞from is Belarus 👋

Great location if you want to go to the Hollywood Bowl or Universal Studios. Beds and pillows were great. Also nice to have access to a kitchen and washer and dryer if needed. Looked like there were some private office rooms for guests if that is needed. Host was very responsive which is always appreciated.

The room looks nice and is spacious and clean and it is in a good location. These are the only positives. This is not a hotel, but just a studio apartment you rent for the night. It is in a residential building. This should have been made way more clear in advance. As you can read below, I do not recommend this place. There isn’t anyone there except the tenants in the building. This means you check in via a janky (on iphone) website where you’ll need to upload a photo of your id and face. This means you need a phone with a camera and internet connection, which is not a given for International travellers. There was little in the way of guidance, so it took us a while to figure out how to get in. I posted a help requesting message in the chatbox in the website, to which we got a response over an hout later when we had figured it out ourselves. You’ll need three different codes to enter the room (one each for the fence, door and actual room). These can be found in the website portal if you know where to look. While you’re trying to get in, you can enjoy the bouquet of urine and other bodily excretions found in the street while standing in the stained sidewalk. Once you figure it out, it works fine. The room was on the ground floor adjacent to a busy road. There was a lot of noise in the room throughout the night of traffic and also from inside the building (e.g. stomping and the sink garbage disposal from the floor above). It appears there is very little sound insulation. There is a kitchenette with a sink and microwave. However, if you plan on eating anything requiring a fork, you’d better bring you own because our room had all of one spoon and one knife.
