Never coming back!
Pros:

Not enough pillows for a couple. No streaming services offered. Staff wonderful but the accommodation was horrible. I will never return and I guess the staff did lie to me and say they were going to send someone to unclog the tub. Massive amount of dust in the vents right over the shower which was unsanitary.

An ideal location and stay
Pros:

Hotel Normandy ticks all the boxes for my perfect hotel stay. It’s in a very walkable area of LA for food and entertainment. Plus it’s a block from one of he city’s subway lines. The hotel itself is gorgeous inside and my room was the relaxing escape I needed, including plenty of hot water and pressure for a shower. That might seem small but when you’ve stayed places that don’t have it, you learn to check on such details. The staff was always accommodating and helpful. I’d easily choose Hotel Normandy again.

Cozy Vintage Boutique Hotel
Pros:

Great boutique hotel if you enjoy staying in a place with some history. We booked based on a recommendation from family and found the staff to be outstanding. They exceeded any expectations we may have had, CJ was so attentive and friendly, anytime we needed anything the front desk was quick to assist! Valet parking was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable each day we returned to it. We enjoyed the location which was within an accessible distance to downtown as well as a couple trips to Hollywood and the beach.

While some reviews mention noise to be an issue we found our room to be quiet and extremely comfortable even through the weekend with busy street traffic. Would definitely stay here again!

Everything works. Highly recommended, I'll be back
Pros:

I really enjoyed my stay, but I knew what to expect. It's urban, Central LA, so, for example, parking is tricky. I really appreciated the text msg from Adam, followed by a short phone conversation, guiding me with the details. It worked out well.
There's a five minute loading zone at the front door, but it's hard to spot driving by. And my room, which faced the street, had some traffic noise. Other rooms may be quieter, but I also could see part of the Hollywood sign, and enjoy people watching, so it was worth it.
Beautiful, tastefully decorated 1920's LA decor. Most importantly, even though it's old, everything works. Minor complaint: the room's thermostat is complicated, the wrong choice for a hotel room. Should be upgraded to something simple.
The front desk folks were great. Cassell's is a classic diner, very welcoming. The wine tasting is a nice bonus. WiFi worked fine, Cable TV was good, too.

Great hotel!
Pros:

We stayed for 7 days and everything went well. We stayed at the last floor and no noise could be heard from street level or hallways/next rooms.

Amazing and Comfortable Stay!
Pros:

My friends and I had a fantastic time here! This hotel is surrounded by amazing selections of food. The surrounding area is what you expect in LA but oddly felt a little more secure.

The hotel’s atmosphere is classy and the service is peak hospitality. At check in, CJ helped with our luggage. CJ defiantly set the bar at the start because he did amazing helping my friends and I. The check in process was smooth, prompt, and informative. I can tell the front desk staff work diligently with respect and kindness. I called in to ask a quick question and Johan at the front desk was very polite on the phone.

The rooms are rustic and you can feel the history the hotel has. I enjoyed the aesthetics of the bathroom and the small powder-counter that also had a fridge. The beds are comfy, I especially liked the bed’s top sheets. The housekeepers were very friendly in the morning. A small ‘good morning’ said by one of the housekeepers made me feel better at the start of my day of departure.

The parking is at the opposite corner of the stoplight intersection. The instructions by CJ really helped! The parking lot attendants were very good at security. Any time they saw my friends and I go to our car to pick something up, they promptly checked on us.

I highly recommend this hotel to those who like historic hotels and walking around Koreatown.

Nice place, great staff, unfortunate experience
Pros:

I like this place. The vibe was very cool with lots of vintage stuff. The wine tastings in the lobby were fun and good way to hang out in the public area on your way out for the evenings.
I had two main problems with my stay.
The first was that there was apparently a power outage not long before I checked in. This seemed to be out of the hands of the staff and created a big mess where they couldn't issue us cards when we checked in so they escorted us to our rooms instead. We were luckily issued cards that evening. However, the internet in the upper floors was also knocked out, and did not return for at least a couple days until after I had left, so I had no internet. As an international traveler I rely on wifi in hotels so this was disappointing.
The second was less important, the light in my bathroom was motion activated which isn't uncommon these days, but I think it may have been sound activated too because the thing turned itself on constantly throughout my stay, including all through the night. Even when I draped a towel over it to stop the motion activation, it kept doing it. I suspect something like this might be why people talk about the place being haunted.
Anyways, overall I feel like the major problem with my stay was not the fault of the hotel so it's just bad luck.

Great location!
Pros:

Loved the historic feel of the hotel and room. Front desk staff were superb. I would get texts to ensure our stay was going well and if we needed anything, which I really appreciated. Location is excellent. Walking distance to many restaurants, coffee places, etc in Koreatown. The restaurant nextdoor had delicious breakfast where we dined in and really good coffee. Hotel is clean, room was clean and room was quiet. We stayed in a room on the 4th floor and we slept very comfortably! Loved the attention to detail to make you feel welcomed. We had a short stay as we were only in town for two nights, but would definitely stay again.

Clean, comfortable and friendly staff
Pros:

I stayed at Hotel Normandie for 3 nights in a room with 2 beds in November 2025 and had a great stay. While the building is a bit outdated, our room was clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. There was actually an internet outage when we arrived at the hotel so we couldn't receive our hotel key card. The staff had to manually let us into our room, but they were quick to address this issue. They also provided complementary wine which is a plus. The downside to the stay was that the window was not well insulated, so we could hear everything from the outside. Location was great. We would stay here again.

Pros:

If you like a throw-back to the 1920s, this is a great hotel. It may not have all the amenities of a modern hotel but that is part of the charm. Staff is warm and helpful. Our corner room had lots of light and a very comfortable bed. The lobby is very inviting for hanging out. The Normandie bar next door is nice place to have a drink. And the wine tasting in the evening is very pleasant. We did not get a chance to eat at Cassell's but it looks fun. Next time!

9/10 Hotel Normandie
Pros:

As a single female, I felt very safe here. For the price, can’t beat the quality and location in L.A. only real annoyance is valet parking, but it’s really just $45/self parking across the street.
I mainly went for a concert at kiss kiss bang bang at the line hotel.
Normandie Hotel is so close to many fun spots and great restaurants.
I love the old Hollywood charm and decor. Definitely my vibe, but with the age comes creaking and noises. Doesn’t bother me. Just be aware, it’s not the most quiet stay.

Always awesome
Pros:

I stay at the Hotel Normandie every time I visit LA. The staff are professional yet so personable. The nightly wine reception in the lobby is so relaxing and makes it feel like the guests are known to each other. The convenience of Cassell's is a huge plus. The housekeepers are remarkable, the beds and linens are great. Absolutely love this place!
