Hotel Normandie LA

The lobby is peaceful and beautiful, the hallways have an antique charm to them, and the rooms have comfy beds and great sound proofing. The staff is very attentive and friendly, and to top it all off there’s an excellent diner connected to the hotel that’s great for breakfast. All in the center of K-town with more good food and drinks within walking distance. I’d definitely come back.

The room is spacious and the bed is comfortable. Very unique in its vibe and decorations. The building is old so the floor in the hallway creaks when people walk on it, which might be a bit annoying at night (but there were no party people when I stayed there so it didn’t pose a problem). It’s definitely a good place to stay for the price point.

Staying at Hotel Normandie was a huge pleasure for me! The lobby was gorgeous and the room was extremely clean. The staff was very kind and helpful to my needs. The location is at the heart of Koreatown which makes it convenient to explore around! I will definitely come here again whenever I visit Los Angeles for my next trip!!

This hotel conjures up the specter of old Hollywood circa 1920s and 1930s. It’s more of a boutique lodging in essence, with a lot of old school charm and lacking some of the newer more modern amenities in hotels built more recently. The rooms are a little more spare and less plush than other places, but I enjoy the opportunity to stay in a truly historic Los Angeles landmark. The location is in the dead center of Los Angeles, so I found it was useful in getting to the Valley, Long Beach, and Santa Monica, etc.

Very good, spacious room, with a good size desk. The staff is friendly and very helpful (had a bathroom issue quickly fixed), kudos to CJ and Ferdinand at the front desk, best staff I've encountered. Plenty of good food and cafe's around, the location is perfect for a lot of things you may want to do in LA.

I recently stayed here with friends and we had a great experience. The check in process was quick and easy, and guest services sent me texts throughout our stay to make sure we had what we needed. The room was clean and had everything we needed, and the beds/linens were surprisingly comfortable. The hotel is in the middle of Korea Town so there's plenty to do and eat nearby, and it's also only about a 20 minute drive from most other popular neighborhoods and tourist locations. I'd definitely stay here again.

Their lobby was gorgeous! Room is very spacious - bed was super comfy (best bed among all the hotels we stayed at in LA), very good shower, they have social hour (free wine), very near the grocery called H Mart, very near many Asian restaurants. near the bus and metro stop which is very convenient, they play good music during social hour, they do not provide a safety deposit box in the room but they have in the security office in which we find very secure. Overall it was great!! Not haunted at all. Will definitely go back.

We stayed at the hotel for 5 days. It was a bit outdated, but that added to its charm. The hospitality was warm and welcoming. C.J at the front desk was friendly during check-in and gave us great food recommendations. We really enjoyed breakfast at the restaurant. I felt safe because of the good security; they always called to confirm food deliveries to our floor. The housekeeping staff left cute rubber ducks in our room, which I thought was nice. The valet service and staff were also very kind. We would definitely stay here again.

Not the best hotel in Ktown but you get what you paid for. It's in a good location that's within walking distance to some good shops (conveniently located close to hmart). There's not much room in the standard room but the water pressure from the shower was really strong and they have a texting service that makes it easy to communicate with the staff. They allowed us to check in early (around 11-12ish) without having to pay extra. Our room was at the very end of a hall and there was a lingering smell of cigarettes coming from somewhere (but the staff fixed that) and we did see one (dead) cockroach in the middle of the hall.

Negatives: Everything (except the staff, who are exceptional). This hotel needs a major upgrade, refresh, and renovation. It was my fault that I didn't look at the room photos before I booked but the high rating on the Agoda booking app is what prompted me to make this last minute booking. I've stayed in Koreatown multiple times and wanted to try a new hotel. BAD IDEA. The elevator at this hotel took foreverrr and when I hastily got off at the wrong floor, I didn't wanna wait any longer so had to carry my 50lb luggage up one more floor. I guess the upside is that I got in more steps and activity but if you're looking for a no fuss, relaxing stay, then avoid this hotel. This hotel is smelly and it's even worse in the room. Imagine coming back to your hotel room and being greeted by an old stench of musty carpet! Furthermore, I stayed on a Saturday night in the heart of Koreatown so this is not the place to stay for peace and quiet, especially on the weekends. Folks were partying until the wee hours of the night and I didn't get great sleep. Positives: Everyone from the front desk staff to the housekeeping folks were excellent, the lobby's cute, there's a burger join next door, there's a wine happy hour 6-7:30pm, and it's walkable to eateries (Egg Tuck is a block away) & Alfred's coffee shop (inside The Line). I'm going back to my tried-and-true next time I visit Koreatown: The Line hotel.

My first time at this hotel and I would say it's a solid place to sleep at. The room does give you more of an old school style vibe. They don't have smart TV but I'm ok with regular TV. Checking in was easy but I came in at 12am. Kevin did an amazing helping me. I love the face that they offer purified water in each floors and the of course they have ice right next to it. Another thing I like about this hotel is they have staffs that will send you text msg to check up on my needs and also asked if I needed a wake up call or cab the day before I checked out the place. I ended up msging them to that I want to checkout by 1pm. It is just that easy to communicate with them. CJ and Frankie were very helpful. Checking out is 12:00pm but they offered until 1pm free of charge. I will definitely recommend this spot since the price is reasonable and it's in Koreatown. There's alot of things you can eat and do there. Too bad I didn't think about taking pictures.

Great customer service! Complimentary bottle of water and glass of wine offered on arrival! Complimentary coffee for breakfast as well! Convenient location in the heart of Koreatown with lots of shops, restaurants and bars! Air conditioning in the room is fantastic! My complaints here are: $200 deposit required at check in! The floor is wooden and creaky! No swimming pool! No laundry room! No fitness center! Noise interruption from adjacent rooms! The chair in my room was stained and so is the desk! Ice machine not working!

I had an ok stay at the hotel, it would have been a 4star review, although the keycards did not work so we had to get them redone at reception every time we wanted to get back into the room, and the WiFi coverage on the 4th floor was basically non existent. I was ok with all of this though as the location was good and to be honest I'm not too fussy. The big big problem with this hotel is they charged me incorrectly for smoking in the room when I did no such thing. They were not able to offer any proof that I had violated the smoking policy, other than a photo of an unsmoked cigarette left on the side table. This does not constitute smoking in the room. I think because I am a tourist they believed they could get some extra cash off my credit card when I left the hotel. I also left a small silver piece of jewellery in the room which went missing. Who knows if this was to do with the hotel or not Regardless, they have refused to remove the smoking charge despite providing no proof. I wouldn't recommend staying here as the vibe I get from them is very opportunistic. As in they will charge you for anything they can get away with to make some extra cash. Very bad experience.

A lot of positives here. Great location in the heart of Koreatown. Helpful staff with a high attention to detail. Charming vintage rooms. However, there were also a few big negatives that kept our stay from being a great one. The first night, we discovered that our room was situated on the side of the hotel next to a nightclub. It was loud in our room until the wee hours of the morning. Earplugs in the room would have been a nice touch here. The morning, unfortunately was not better. I woke just after 9am to the crashing sound of what I believe was the cleaning staff's cart arriving on our floor of the hotel. The walls are thin here, so we could clearly hear the staff knocking on the doors of other rooms. Given that the noises that woke me were all outside of our room, the do not disturb sign doesn't help much here. Unfortunately, with how hard it was to get a good night's sleep on the weekend here, I can't say I'd want to return.

I really felt like I was in a church. It was very calming yet a little creepy. I don't have any true complaints, but I would say their night staff when it comes to cleaning is a little lazy other than that I was in a church.

The only reason it gets three is because of the customer service of the young gentleman working at the front desk. Otherwise its a two star for me. The location and price are good but it needs an update. I understand the appeal to some of old, rustic hotels in LA but its not my cup of tea. This was 2nd stay here and I was fairly sure I didnt like it the first time but I took a chance. Our room was an upgrade and still not comfortable. There were flies from I dont know where because the windows were closed. So many, dings, dents, scuffs, and scratches on the walls and carpet. I mean it was fairly clean minus the flies but its hard to overlook the visible toll that this hotel has endured. The bathroom is so small. You can sit on the toilet and open the door or touch the sink. Not comfortable at all. No place to put hair accessories or toiletries.... The wine hour is a nice touch but I have to write this review to remind myself not to stay here again.

The 2nd time I've stayed here within the year. Two very different rooms. The customer service of all staff - front desk, valet, cleaning staff - everyone was courteous and helpful. Full nights sleep in comfy beds. Excellent water pressure in a big vintage tub. Refrigerator in room. Air conditioning! I will return. Thank you.

This is such a cute, vintage, and SAFE hotel! My girl friends and I visited Koreatown for a weekend trip; this hotel was the perfect spot to stay. The staff is very attentive and welcoming. We were able to leave our luggage after checking out and come back before our flight. Another plus is that this hotel has many places that you walk to or rideshare! For wine lovers or those who want to try wine, the hotel provides complimentary wine from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM in the lobby! The only con of this hotel is that it is vintage/old. The rooms had a smell, but I think it's because the hotel is very old. The bathroom had no air vent, so the steam from the shower made it feel like a sauna. I definitely recommend staying here for a weekend trip!

5 stars for ALL the guys at the front desk and valet too!! Excellent service and all were super friendly! Can't go wrong with evening wine time! Morning coffee was nice too! Great old hotel with history and charm! Very convenient to LA convention center, Hollywood and tons of places near by to eat (highly recommend Toast & Rice). Starbucks just a block away too.

I love this hotel. The customer service is excellent. It starts with CJ at the front, he is consistently welcoming, professional and helpful. The space is clean. Cassels, the restaurant next door is delicious. Parking is mostly a non-issue. The ambiance is charming and warm, with the perfect music to create a relaxing lobby atmosphere.

Charmed by the Normandy's 1920s elegance! Friendly staff, comfy rooms, and a great location near the metro. The complimentary wine reception was a delightful touch. The Normandy Hotel in Los Angeles exceeded my expectations! From the chic decor to the attentive staff, every aspect was top-notch. The rooms were spacious and immaculate, and the amenities were fantastic. The location was convenient, making exploring the city a breeze. Highly recommend!

We had an overall great experience. I had read parking was a bit annoying but in a city setting I am lucky that this hotel has a reserved lot at all! In trying to locate it, I called the hotel where Adam answered right away and gave me easy directions. The lot had valet available and they were quick to always meet our needs. I would say don't listen to the phone text or app in trying to let them know ahead of time to check out your car. Check-in didn't take too much time and I was waiting in line, another attendant came right away to avoid too much of a wait. Same for check-out. The room was small but clean. We don't need anything too fancy. There was a small fridge which was perfect for leftovers and holding our liquor and mixers. I would stay another time if we ever need to stay in LA again :)

I would certainly recommend staying here, and here are a few things to consider. First, you are in a great area. Plenty of good bars, restaurants and coffee shops in the area. Also relatively close to a lot of spots you might want to visit in LA. The room was also very comfortable with an adjustable thermostat and top notch room keeping. They have a coffee bar in the morning and wine tasting in the evening, so you'll just need to make sure you aren't counting on them for a quick breakfast like you can with other hotels. One drawback is the parking; their valet is very expensive and you are charged by the night. Beggars can't be choosers though and there is very little parking in the area. While they don't have a gym on site, there is a 24 Hour Fitness a few (some have said a couple, it's more than that) blocks away. The gym is better than most hotel gyms but pretty rundown and gross by regular gym standards so take that for what you will. Overall, the quality of the actual hotel is worth it but there are some caveats to consider.

Cute boutique hotel in K town area . This looks like an office building converted to rooms. There is only one small elevator or you can take the staircase. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room has wood floors and a small bathroom. The bed was a little too soft for our liking, and I think ours in Room 401 sunk in the middle. Walks are paper thin, we could hear next door, but thankfully we easily fell asleep. The nearby hotel options also have thin walls so honestly I like staying here. Two bottles of free water per person per day but the staff are ver generous with distribution.

You know, I absolutely HATE leaving bad reviews but this experience was just not good which sucks because I've stayed at Hotel Normandie once before this & there were no issues. This time it was like they went out of their way to piss me off . I landed at LAX at 10am so I thought I wouldn't be able to check in until at least 1pm but luckily they were kind enough to get me into my room at 11am which was perfect. That is the ONLY good thing about this trip. Let's start with the elevator. Every single time I was on it I swear it felt like it was STRUGGLING to get to the next floor. I'm like ummmm this doesn't feel right, let me take the stairs. It's an old hotel but it didn't feel like that on my 1st stay. I get to my room & it looked fine but the A/C was acting up, I'm like ok I'll deal with this later since I have errands to run. I go out to run my errands & then get back so I can shower before going out. While I'm in the shower I noticed that the water wasn't going down.......... If it's one thing I absolutely HATE it's when the water doesn't go down fast enough in the shower. I dealt with that in my childhood so I'm NOT dealing with it as a PAYING Adult I was SOOOOOOO mad about the shower but what can you do, I was already rushing to meet up with friends so I had to go. I completely forgot to address the A/C problem which was my fault but I was checking out the next day so I just brushed it off. I got back to my hotel at like 5 or 6am so you KNOW I'm not waking up for a noon checkout. I asked the guy at the front how much was it for a late checkout & he's like it's free up until 1pm & I'm like nahhhh I'll need at least until 3. He tells me it's a 100 dollar charge up until 4pm & then I'm charged for another night. This is completely fine with me & I tell him let's do that. I said I'll be out before 4 and he said ok that's fine & then wrote it down. What do you think happened at noon? If you guessed that I was CONSTANTLY woken up than you guessed right. I had constant knocks on the door to check out, then I had constant phone calls to the room, then I had someone actually enter the room. I'm like what is EVEN going on. I fall back asleep & notice they even called my cell phone I'm like dude COME ON, I already spoke to the guy at the front about this. I just got up cranky as hell & checked out & paid the 100 dollar fee. After all of that I think I'm done with Normandie, I'll just pay the extra dollars to stay at the Line Hotel whenever I need to be in K-Town.

A very homey, welcoming boutique hotel! My girl friends and I stayed at this hotel, and we loved it! The staff was very welcoming and helpful. They have a direct phone number to text if you need any assistance throughout your stay. They always made sure to check up on my group and I. We stayed in the two-full bed room, and although it was a bit small, it was still comfy and cozy. Hotel Normandie is located in a fantastic spot in Koreatown and is within walking distance of various restaurants, shopping plazas, and more! We felt very safe staying here and would love to come back if we're ever in the area again.

I spent two nights there. I'm a big germaphobe in hotels, because I always end up finding something weird. Well can't use "always"anymore! There was one stain on the pillowcase but once I inspected it, I think the wash just didn't get this specific stains, staff took care of it instantly. Check in was super easy, took the least amount of time unlike most places. They let me know about their free happy hour (I didn't attend, or really drink, but the people that did participate seems to enjoy themselves and content over the choices). It is a little noisy but I think it's more the area than the actual Hotel, I didn't have any issues falling sleep/ staying asleep. Bed was super comfy, the decor, wallpaper was trendy. The restroom was clean, the shower head has great pressure. I loved the text message feature, you're able to contact them/ communicate without having to call. I asked for decaf. There's a a restaurant Caselle's next door great coffee/ ambiance. There was plenty of places to eat around the hotel walking distance, and even late. If you're traveling from LAX without a rental, this is one shuttle, and one bus away. I found it super easy to get to.

We stay at Hotel Normandie every time we visit LA. Staff is super friendly, welcoming and attentive. The space is charming and the vibes are chill and relaxing. The rooms are cozy, nice and kept clean. Location has easy access to all the best Korean restaurant and bars.

So sad to see this place diminish. We had been coming here for years and have watched the amenities disappear one by one... another example of post Covid disappointment. (sigh) I take zero joy in writing this but I feel that it needed to be expressed. This was neat place to stay and now it's just expensive meh. Thank you though for all the nice memories.

Awesome hotel -- incredible Walker and Eisen architecture, art deco faded-on-purpose glamour, the ghost of Norma Desmond might descend the stairs. On a practical level: Super friendly staff, very comfy room/bed, quiet and cozy, good wine and coffee. Tons of character. Bravo Hotel Normandie.

I can appreciate a relatively quaint hotel with historical events held to compliment all original details throughout the lobby. The staff were of course friendly and although we planned to stay another night at another location, we decided to stay. We appreciated how centered the hotel was from our events throughout the weekend in Koreatown neighborhood. We parked across the way from the hotel where they did have 24 hour valet service parking to accommodate. Very happy about the internet connection throughout the property as I worked remote from the hotel room, hallway spaces and of course their lobby.

This stay in particular reminded me why Hotel Normandie is always our "home" in LA. Of course the upgraded room to a junior suite certainly helped but it was the personalized care that really put it over the top. They stayed in constant touch via text and responded right away. The room was super cozy & clean, the bed & pillows felt like sleeping on clouds, plushiest towels ever, and we really loved the complimentary slippers. The lavender & peppermint toiletries were super soothing!. Staff courteous & professional. Best of all, located in Koreatown and near all our fave places! Cassells was a bonus as well. Can't wait until our next stay!!

I got a deal on hopper! And I would say the deal was on par with the hotel, I looked at the regular prices and I was pretty shocked. It's definitely a good center point for all of LA but the rooms are pretty rubbed down. The building is old, nothing is dirty it's just not what I expected. The rooms are plain and standard, I think the downstairs lobby and bar give a much different impression than what you actually stay in. Parking is also $40 and across the street. The complimentary happy hour was nice and the service was good everyone was sweet just not enough to consider going back

Stayed here for a night, loved it! Super cute place. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The wine tasting was an added bonus and the server was quite pleasant and knowledgeable. Parking is valet only unless you can find a place on the street (we did three blocks away). The elevator is quite slow and I'm impatient so... we took the stairs almost every time. The bed & pillows were super comfy and the bath towels, great, as were the toiletries. The free breakfast was good. We're on a plant based diet so most breakfasts are slim pickings but this one had plenty of fruit, oatmeal, cereal and almond milk. Considering my guy proposed here, we will definitely be back for future stays so we did sign up for the reward system which I'm glad they offer.. I like earning rewards for things I enjoy doing! Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Ive stayed at this hotel multiple times. It's very vintage old hollywood. The staff has always gone above and beyond to accommodate me. Couple of times I got an upgrade, with a little extra fee of course. Parking is difficult but you are in the heart of ktown. They do have valet but give yourself some time for parking and check in. They have a cute and outside restaurant nearby for brunch. The LINE hotel is nearby and they have openaire. This review is also for the manager Beymar. I've stayed at this hotel for couple of years now, and I have to say one of the strongest reasons I've been back again and again is because of Beymar. Always professional and polite, he really takes exceptional care of his guests. I don't think I've ever seen a manager as dedicated, as caring, and professional on such a level. The hotel should be renamed from Hotel Normandie to Hotel Beymar.

Had a wonderful stay here. The property is beautifully maintained. The rooms are cute, there is a burger restaurant with pre mixed cocktails to take to your room, and the location is very walkable to many restaurants. Every staff member we encountered was kind, generous with their time, and service oriented. Would definitely recommend!

First time staying at this hotel, which I've always seen and heard about. I was excited to try out this boutique hotel, but left extremely disappointed. I've had better experiences at motels.... Upon entering the building and going to my room, I was immediately underwhelmed. I knew this was a historic old building, but assumed everything got revitalized. Oh no. First off, the one and only elevator is this tiny slow thing that looks really beaten down. Terrible first impression. Upon entering the hallway, it looked like a scene from those old horror films. Place looks grungy and like somewhere a crime has been committed. Place was really creepy and gave me and my friend the chills. But hey, as long as my room looks ok right? I go inside, and a part of me died. It looks worst than a motel room. The bathroom especially is extremely outdated and old - something I'd see visiting my old grandma's home. The floor and tiles had black stains of mold / mildew and walls had bunch of scratches. The shower was extremely terrible - knobs were so confusing and the shower head looked ancient. I felt disgusting using the bathroom. Furniture and everything was scratched up, alarm clock / music player was laughably old and not cared for. I know covid has been tough for the hotel industry, so I can sympathize. But damn, this hotel needs an enormous facelift to survive.

I found this hotel through hotels.com after painful nights of analyzing per-friendly hotels with no ripoff pet fees and daily resort fees. Service was too notch, and being VIP Gold I got free room upgrade and parking ($22 per night). The only thing I commented at checkout was how housekeeping was unaware of higher quality towels in our suite, and our replacement was standard. The front desk took the comment seriously and I totally appreciate it. We missed the nightly wine reception which was a little sad but we didn't stay here long enough. We were enjoying LA too much, I guess. I have to comment that CJ was so accommodating and kept asking us if we need anything. It was Ritz level if you know what I'm talking about. Thank you! Our window in our king suite faced other hotel rooms in some sense... More quiet than facing the street. Love the suite! The sofa bed is more comfortable than most other sofa beds. But I had to change out the linen, because I can tell it was dirty. Housekeeping didn't check probably because precious guest folded the sofa bed back. We left ours open so they change out the linen. The hotel itself is very historic and beautiful when you enter the lobby. They have a little fountain with gold fishes that live in the little tank. The books in the shelves are old and beautiful. There's even an antique typewriter we were able to type on in the lobby. The location is so central that we were able to walk to cafes. We ordered most foods in but didn't realize how close all these restaurants were. Location is awesome, but this is Koreatown so there are sticky sidewalks outside. Haha.

A vintage hotel revival, by famed LA developer Jingbou Lou, in the heart of K-Town, that is truer to its 1920's roots, just in time for the hipster love affair with the past. The plush lobby has floors that appear to be original. They're replete with the scars of remodels past, when the hotel passed through the darker days of the area's urban decay, in the 1960's. Wall art, themed around the Hollywood writer, even sports a workhorse 1920's Underwood typewriter. The brand was a symbol of defiance of that Hollywood's most powerful mogul, Paramount Pictures' Adolph Zukor, who abused writers and called them "Schmucks with Underwood's. A dime a dozen." In the late afternoon, guests gather, in parts of the massive lobby, for complimentary wine. Anchoring a corner of the building is the revival of Cassell's Burgers, a landmark eatery of authenticity before authenticity was a thing. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it also sports a small, but very legit bar with very allocated American whiskeys. Their coffee bar was top grade, but is about to take an automation knock down soon, I was told. Upstairs, the hallway floors are still wood, with carpet runners. The doors are vintage. The rooms, other than the flat screen TV atop a dresser, are vintage in look. They have an entry, with a dark wood desk/refrigerator and a cozy bedroom. The bathrooms are honeycomb white tile and vintage fixtures. A block walk to the Metro subway station on Wilshire, and well positioned for Uber/Lyft rides that don't sap the wallet, I've found it pretty easy to get around a big chunk of LA. Day renting cars here is far better than getting clipped for the huge taxes imposed at the airports, LAX, or Burbank. They have a valet that's $40 per day, about in keeping with LA hotel parking prices. It's also between the major freeways and big boulevards, so getting anywhere is convenient, in LA's congested corridors. If you like authentic Korean food, or great ramen, hot wings, steak, some of Los Angeles' best restaurants are in walking distance. It's a great hotel, that's had a bit of fading from COVID. Maintenance has been lacking. Our doors didn't close well. There was a lot of wear that, for a hotel that charges what it does, shouldn't be there. The elevator is looking beaten up, and squeaks. Housekeeping staff working rooms masks down, even after repeated management warnings. That, thankfully, got rectified before we needed our room serviced. Service is by request, at this time. Cassell's keeps odd hours, opening at 10:00 on weekends, 11:00a on weekdays, killing their breakfasts. It has also gone from table service to order at the counter, another disease created by the virus, and staffing issues. A manager said that the owner was investing more in upgrading the affected rooms. I have stayed here many times. In a town whose hotels, even the boutique ones, lack character, this one is a fun old soul, in the heart of Little Seoul: Koreatown.

I like everything in this hotel except their paper thinned wall. If you are lucky, you hear moaning at midnight and yes I was the lucky one :( Their 20 bucks daily services fee included access to the gym, continental breakfast, free water and complimentary wine tasty in the evening. No hot breakfast but fruits, coffee, bread, egg, yogurt, etc which is good enough to start your day. I will return if I am in town again!

I was pleasantly surprised at Hotel Normandie. CJ at the front was an amazing host & resource during my short, 1-night stay there. I took advantage of the $20/ voucher at the famous, Cassell's Hamburger restaurant that sits at the corner of the hotel. I don't often go to Koreatown, but I'd definitely consider staying with them again.

Three of my friends and I booked Hotel Normandie last minute. And by last minute, I mean we checked into our Airbnb at 3 am the night before, found ants lining the tub, and decided we couldn't stay there the rest of the weekend, last minute. It was the best deal we could find on such a short notice, and it was also one of the hotels I had been looking into before we booked the Airbnb. Here are some of the pros/cons: Pros: 1. Located right in K-Town (didn't seem like it was the sketchy part), so there are lots of restaurants nearby. THere's a burger place right in the hotel. I didn't get to try it but it had pretty good reviews 2. When we arrived in the room, there was one bottle of water. Housekeeping must have noticed that four people were staying there because the next day, there were four bottles 3. They let us check in early at around 10 am 4. The sink in the room is located outside of the bathroom, which was convenient and efficient for four girls staying in one room 5. Breakfast is included. It's your basic bagels, toast, muffins, cereal, fruit yogurt, but they also have Clif bars! No hot breakfast but it was decent and there were quite a few options Cons: 1. The pillows are high and uncomfortable 2. Old and slow elevators 3. It's located next door to a bar so it can be noisy at night

Hotel Normandie is a boutique hotel that has been around the Wilshire District since the late '20s. There are standard guest rooms, and junior and king suites, all that has been carefully restored. Please also note that this is a dog-friendly hotel as well! Amenities and services include complimentary wi-fi, complimentary bottled water in guest rooms, bell staff, continental breakfast, daily wine reception, yoga on the rooftop, laundry service, and even a full-service restaurant and bar connected to the hotel. The hubs and I were directed here to wait in the lobby for a dinner one evening, and the staff member at the front desk was super friendly and welcoming! The lobby has many plush chairs and cushions, is spacious, and a great spot to catch up on work and/or to relax. Valet is available. +friendly hotel staff +dog-friendly hotel! +connected to Cassell's Restaurant +daily valet service

Didnt check in but love this historic hot spot! Tons of character and AMAZING location!

I wished yelp had an option for 3.5 stars because that's where a lot of my reviews would end up including this one. The rooms (along with the entire hotel) are pretty old and ours was a bit musky smelling. It reminded me somewhere between going house shopping at some elderly couples house and an old lecture hall at some university. However there are positives such as the location. Excellent and right in a not too sketchy part of Koreatown with many excellent dining options within a few blocks walk. There is a pretty good gym that guests get unlimited passes to maybe a 2 block walk away. Also speaking of freebies there is a complimentary continental breakfast that also has fresh fruits and coffee and even boiled eggs and kind bars. The staff are all pretty friendly and prompt with service. One thing that was a pretty weird gaff was there was literally no place to hang your towel after you shower. There were no shower racks or even a hook on the door. The valet parking situation is quite overpriced, however within a 2-3 block walk there is a parking lot that only charges $18 for overnight car storage. It's the one right next to the gym the hotel let's you go to. If you just want to lot your car at the end of the night after doing activities all day this is a good option.

The lousiest hotel I've ever visited. No parking on the site. Parking is located on the diagonal. So we had to stop the car on the loading zone infront of the hotel, checked in, kept the bags at the front, drove around the big block toward the parked spot, handed the key to the person there, got a parking ticket, crossed 2 big streets with signals, reported the parking ticket to the front desk, and finally could get into the room. They charged extra $40 for the parking. Phew!!!! Next morning I couldn't drink coffee because the boiling pot was sooooooo dirty. Yacky!!!! Who would think this is worth over $200 per night?

Hotel Normandie is a cool remodel of an old hotel that saves much of the old vintage charm. I loved some things about the hotel, but some other things, not so much. The building is really beautiful with high ceilings and wood beams. We went in December and the lobby was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Everyone who worked there was super friendly and took extra time to chat with us. There is no self-parking and it is in the very crowded Korea Town, so be prepared to pay a $28 valet fee. We arrived for the complimentary lobby happy hour 4:30- 6 PM daily. It was cool. They had lots wines to choose from, and delicious hot mulled wine for the holidays. They also do a complimentary breakfast until 10 AM. It was nothing special, but it was a nice touch and unexpected...and I do need my coffee in the mornings! I was not in love with the rooms. The bed is comfortable and we had a huge walk-in closet, but that is about all that fits in the room. I do understand that it is a remodel of an old hotel so they cannot do much about the size of the room, but the small size does keep it from being a "romantic getaway". Also, I did not like the bathroom at all. It desperately needs to be redone. It was clean, but really outdated with nowhere to put stuff. Also,the temperature of the shower went up and down. All in all, if I am in the area, I would stay at Hotel Normandie again, but I wouldn't go out of my ways to stay there.

I found a great deal on Groupon for our stay here, and couldn't have been more thrilled. You can tell the hotel was built in 1926 because of the wonderful accents, but the modernization in the recent renovation brings a cozy and updated feel to the space thats very inviting. The location is wonderful on a corner in Koreatown with plenty of great food and things to see within walking distance! We used the valet service which has a parking lot kitty-corner from the hotel that you bring your car to, it was 22$ a day which was a great price for us to not worry about parking in such a busy area. Our room was clean, had great decor, and we had a nice view of the sunset from our window. All of the staff were helpful and kind, and the restaurant in the hotel was delicious along with the bar next door. Overall, we'd definitely come back and really enjoyed our stay!

This hotel added to my enjoyment during my stay in LA. Loved it from the moment I stepped in and saw the beautiful vintage style lobby, complete with fountain and piano. The room was very nice with a comfortable king bed and satisfactory bathroom. Our room came with a refrigerator as well. Adding to the enjoyment of our stay was the complementary wine tasting every night from 6 to 7:30. The attached restaurant was very pleasant for breakfast. Loved this place!

After staying mostly one-night stays in the past for work trips, we recently stayed here for a 3-night stay on a short vacation. We'd recommend staying here for a reasonably priced hotel that is not in downtown but you you should know what you're getting into: 1. Front desk staff are terrific, friendly, and helpful. 2. The parking rates are $40 per day and after tipping the valets between various ins-and-outs, can easily cost $60 per day. 3. All rooms are not created equal here, we checked in and got a TINY room and were moved after requesting a different room (which they very promptly obliged!). 4. The hotel has a vintage vibe...however, there is a fine line between vintage and run down. We got plenty of both. The biggest thing is that everything looks good at first glance, but it appears that they need someone over there that is detail oriented running the day-to-day to catch all the little tweaks that would make this a very excellent place. For example, our window did not seal (gap between the top/bottom panes) and a cold draft came through all night. We stuffed two towels in the gap which helped, but someone should catch basic structural issues. Also, the bathroom door doesn't close flush, so there is a 1/2 inch gap along one side of the door when closed. The curtains are sun stained and dusty. The lampshade liners are cracked. The white tiles in the bathroom are stained with foot traffic. The fridge was unplugged and not cold..so and and so forth. We will try another hotel next time we're in town, but open to future visits for quick trips.

Hotel Normandie was our "wedding hotel" for our wedding weekend. Our wedding party, family, and friends all stayed here and it was a blast having everyone in such close proximity for those few days. I worked closely with the manager J.R., for planning and my million questions leading up to the weekend and he was just fantastic. He truly went above and beyond in so many aspects to ensure that we had the best experience possible during such a special weekend. In addition to J.R., the staff in general was so kind and accommodating to our rowdy group. We were so grateful! In addition to the incredible customer service and kindness on behalf of the staff, the hotel itself was so cool, vintage, and unique. The rooms and accommodations were great. We reserved two suites to hang out with our wedding parties and me and my girls got ready in the conference room. Me and my husband did our first look on the rooftop and they were just the most beautiful photos. Everything was made possible through J.R. and we will forever be grateful!

Having my choice between The Line and Normandie. I chose Normandie for a variety of reasons. Turning onto Normandie from 6th puts valet on your right (yes this lane becomes valet and pushes traffic back). Valet is not in a garage, but catty corner. Overnight parking is $32. You can do hourly, but it's also tied to the room, so it's paid at check out. Feel comfortable in checking in as your car may not get moved to the lot right away, fear not. Lobby is quaint, a little rustic. Staff is helpful and informative. Prices are reasonable. May not be as big, nice, new as The Line, but it's got heart......a haunted beating heart. Personally I love the breakfast in the kitchen area, the wine social in mid-late afternoon and the access to Cassells. Break Room 86 is so hectic it's actually a turn off and plus I'm more of a Normandie Club/Walker Inn person. The elevator is slow as I walked to my 3rd floor room mostly. My room floor creeked a little, but my TV definitely turned on in the middle of the night. The remote was nowhere near me. I even took the battery's out just in case. This place is haunted, not all the rooms, maybe not the whole hotel, but some rooms for sure. I thought it would all be in my mind, but I guess I didn't have enough alcohol one night to pass out properly. My room was clean. I wish it had black out curtains and was a little more sound insulated. The TV cuts out and has limited channels. Their room wifi is weak. I didn't even think about room service with so much around. The bathroom has good water pressure, but slow shower drain. The doors all open inward, so leaving the bathroom, closet door open didn't allow you access to the door into the room. Local art, unmatched room chair. The phone is across the room, the nightstands have 1 plug and it's for the lights themselves which makes charging your phone near your bed a little inconvenient, but know needs more than 1 light anyhow. Check out was a breeze, but it had to be done in the lobby, no room/tv check out. Breakfast 7-10, better than continental for sure. Wine was meh considering how well curated Normandie Club/Walker Inn's menus are. Prices are decent, it's a quality hotel that's quaint and centrally located. Having bars/clubs, a variety of food nearby helps. Zion's market walking distance too. I will definitely stay here again.

The customer service is wonderful but the beds have bugs. From the moment I got in and got washed up and got into bed-something bit me or stung me and I started itching like crazy. I woke up and the back of caves were so swollen, red, blistering, hot to touch, and very itchy. It's my first time ever staying here and I was looking forward to it. I'm really disappointed that it's unsanitary during these times of COVID. Also the air is very hot and you are unable to raise the temp lower so sleeping in a 74 temperature room with bites are the worst. I also strongly believe they should check temperatures of all the guests stayin! Anyways please check room 313. The room is beautiful but bugs. :( stayed here from July 24, 2020 to July 25, 2020.

The best thing about this hotel is it's central location and that it's clean. The lobby is very pretty. However, the bad side is 1: valet parking is $32 per night 2: the bathroom is tiny (toilet is right next to the door that you either have to use it with the door open or face the shower in order to wipe) 3: the bathroom lacks hooks which might seem silly until you have a few towels and clothes to hang. 4: since it's a hotel that has been restored, the original windows are very thin so you can hear outside traffic and also the cold gets in. 5: they don't have a business center. 6: elevator is very slow. 7: price Per night is too high for what they offer

I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Normandie. The service was fantastic. The front desk staff was so friendly and accommodating, when I asked for towels a few times they were up so fast, I was impressed! They also pour a complimentary glass of wine for you daily between 4:30-7. I had one daily it was the perfect touch! Check in/out was quick and smooth. Cassell's next door is amazing, you gotta try it! I would definitely stay here again. The location is good. I felt very safe. Wouldn't venture off outside past 9pm or so if you're alone as a woman.. but during the day and early evening there's plenty of things nearby to walk to. Starbucks, 7-11, tons of eateries within 5 mins. Train station 5 mins away too to take you wherever you need to go. Donut shop across the street, AMAZING. My room was cute. I LOVE the hardwood floors especially during these times with covid, just provides a cleaner feeling overall. The window opens a good amount to bring in the LA breeze. The air conditioner works almost too good lol! Bathroom is small but works. Didn't have a closet in my room but they do have hooks and hangers to hang things. No dresser space really, but a few cubbies. Nice mini fridge. Bed was sooo freakin comfy. I recommend to travelers who enjoy boutique style hotels like myself. This is an old building that has been very well-renovated with a unique, almost rustic touch. I'd call it a gem forsure!

The hotel is vintage and adorable. The staff is helpful and professional. I was helped by CJ who went above and beyond, even helped us with a valentine's day photo shoot in the lobby. The parking is across the street and is $40, however you can go in and out as often as you like and there is an attendant there at all times. The room is small but very comfortable. The shower was insane, I almost stole the shower head haha. All in all I would definitely recommend.

Three words, noisy noisy noisy. Any hotel that thinks it's ok to put their guests up in a room where you can hear and feel the DJ in the hotel's bar and night club until two in the morning on Friday and Saturday nights is going to get a bad review from me. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean but the old building as cool and eclectic as it may be does not promote a good nights sleep. I will not be staying here again if I can help it.
