We love the location, so close to UCLA, front desk, bellman, valet & housekeepers are all friendly & helpful to us.

Hi Sarah!Thank you for this fantastic review! We will pass your praise onto our wonderful staff--we are truly proud of the team we've cultivated at the W Los Angeles and your words only encourage our efforts! We are glad you enjoyed our convenient location and we will look forward to seeing you again soon!
Great place and service. Decent location near UCLA. Not advised to walk around at night, there isn’t safety in numbers because it’s a car focused city and occasional homelessness.
The staff were very friendly and very helpful. It’s a very cool looking place and fashionable! They were famous people in the hotel, and that was exciting!
The amenities and staff at the W Hotel impressed me from the moment I walked in. The team member who checked me in was friendly and seemed legitimately interested in helping me enjoy my time in the hotel and in Los Angeles as a whole. My room had an awesome view of Westwood and UCLA, and the room itself was huge especially considering the location in one of the more expensive areas of LA. The room rate was not cheap but it was well worth it!

Ok so I was there while the president was there and it was a nightmare. Couldn't get Ubers had to go through security like Airport when trying to return to the property.
No one warned me that this would happen and it was so inconvenient to have to walk several blocks away to get Uber /Lyft
The hotel is well situated in a lovely residential area.. I run and used opportunity for a 6mile dash through the west Beverly and then down Santa Monica Blvd and through rodeo drive and then back.. the sight were great and the hills challenging.. the hotel is lovely with a nice outdoor dining space and pool, if the weather was warmer would have been great to relax and catch some sun rays.
Perfect location for a visit to UCLA and Westwood. We walked to campus a few times and it was very easy. On the other side you have access to Beverly Hills. The staff was great and attended to our needs.

Almost - but not quite!
For the money not very impressive. Finishes are tired in bath and in general. The walk in shower was tiny and water was impossible to keep from the bathroom floor. As well the hand shower - (the only shower head) didn't fit in the mount. While it was a spacious bathroom there wasn't a sq inch of counter space - basically a tiny wall hang sink barely large enough for a toothbrush let alone room for a family of 3 to spread out our things. Soap yes but no shampoo or conditioner.
Overall nice suite and set up with cozy beds.
Lobby / Common spaces are nicely done and swanky in the W style, but are taken over by super loud music from about 5pm on as I'm told the restaurant /lounge is managed by another company and catering to the cocktail scene. if you are there to be a hipster its fine but if you are visiting w/family or on business its obnoxious. Great location and service.
The staff here were absolutely fantastic! From the moment we got out of our car to check in, to the moment we checked out and left the property everyone was so helpful and so kind. Would definitely stay here again
Really great location, friendly staff and modern interior. Nothing too fancy but very clean and very spacious rooms! Loads of restaurants near by, great safe neighbourhood. Parking on street is relatively easy if you’re out during the day.
We found a cockroach in the bathroom the moment we walked into our room and there were also dirty towels in the bathroom that they had forgot to remove before we checked in. And, they didn't honour our Expedia VIP status and charged us $50/night ($300 in total) for the upgrade.
