Very convenient for me and right around the corner from my son. Easy jumping off point for LAX where we were going to catch flight Hawaii. Enjoyed my walk by the ocean.
Small, smelled bad in the room (sewage), no parking and the nearby area felt dangerous at night. I love Gjelina products but this was not a good hotel.
Staff was very friendly and breakfast croissants were good though
I don’t want to tell too many people about this exclusive, boutique hotel. Not anything bad…. All things were perfect. I just don’t want to see it overrun by tourists. It’s very peaceful and quiet. My room, the simple and basic one was perfect. I slept like a baby. It backed up to a small alley but no matter, there were no noises from the street. The shower was hot and water plentiful. The best comfortable and great sheets. Super pillows that cradled my weary, jet lagged head. The staff is enthusiastic and kind and coffee in the morning is hot and strong. Those croissants? Brilliant.
I’m coming back. And for the others? Glad they know of a nice place that’s not touristy. Like coming home for me.
Loved the baked bread! The room was exactly what I expected for Venice area, unique. Great location but parking is an issue, don’t use overnight parking down the street, they wanted $60! Renaissance, parking structure, at Navy and Pacific is best $20!
I stayed at the Gjelina hotel over a weekend to get some intense work done away from the distractions of home. The staff were incredibly helpful, shoutout to Elliot especially. Lots of places to sit and hang out (or work) like the rooftop terrace, the courtyard, and even the lobby. Great to have Ocean Front Walk right there for high energy breaks and walks. The room was surprisingly quiet for one block from the beach.
