Stayed at Venice V - excellent choice all around. Right on the beach with a cool, relaxed Venice vibe that feels authentic, not overdone. The rooms are spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed - comfortable without trying too hard. The staff really stood out - warm, attentive, and easy to deal with. Just great people. Location is perfect - steps to the beach and an easy walk to Abbot Kinney for great restaurants, coffee, and shopping. Would absolutely stay again. read more

One of the best hotels in all of Venice. The cool Venice rooms are designed with quality materials but have a feeling of original character. Exposed brick walls are cool, the fun slanted tiles in the bathroom ste whimsical. The fully stocked bars really came in handy at 1 am when I was peckish. 24/7 desk service was very comforting. I came last year and it is my neighborhood staycation go to. I would recommend it to tourists and locals. The mural in the lobby is super cool and each room is unique. Super special hidden gem in Venice with spectacular views. read more

I booked what they called an ocean view penthouse for 3 nights. When I showed up the penthouse did not have an ocean view. The manager said just because it says ocean view doesn't mean there is a view of the ocean. They did not apologize or attempt to resolve it. When I insisted I was told I was demeaning her. It hurt her feelings that I had to fly 3000 miles for an ocean view room that did not have an ocean view. You can tell that this staff is very in touch with their feelings but they neglect to have any accountability for how they run their business. read more

Watch your wallet and check your billing invoice for errors. When I ate food from the in-room snacks, Venice V Hotel literally doubled that entire snack bill with snacks that I never ate. Untrustworthy. When I ate zero snacks, Venice V Hotel also literally added snacks that I never ate. Untrustworthy. When I made two reservations, Venice V Hotel meged my two reservations into one reservation, and said that my first reservation's substantial discount was voided because they changed it into a newly merged reservation. I never asked them to do that merger. I asked them to book a second reservation for additional days. Untrustworthy. The average room fits a bed, a single broom closet for your clothes and their refrigerator, and a snack table. The bathroom and shower area are small like closets. Uncomfortable. The money that Venice V Hotel spent on the lobby's eye-appeal should have been spent on training for the managerial and bookkeeping staff to make the customer's stay a pleasant and less time-consuming stay. Unprofessional and Stressful. The parking is conveniently behind the Venice V Hotel, and the parking staff were professional and pleasant to their customers. Relaxing. I preferred to stay at a less expensive hotel that is ultra clean, has friendly staff, keeps the billing invoice accurate every time, and has a better view of the beach just a few blocks north.

We were extremely disappointed with the lack of communication from this hotel. We reached out ahead of our stay to request help with either a refund or rescheduling due to a health-related situation, trying to be responsible and considerate of others. Despite phone calls, emailing and following up, we never received any response. We understand policies exist but completely ignoring guests in unacceptable. A simple reply would have gone a long way. The silence added unnecessary stress to an already very difficult situation. Hopefully management takes this feedback seriously and improves their responsiveness going forward. read more

I cannot say enough good things about our night here. We stayed here after an international flight and had a 16 hour layover. The check in was so easy, right next to the beach, easy to walk to things. They had bikes for rent and a well stocked mini bar. The boxed water was free and our room was lovely!! Exposed brick and a very cool step up into a balcony area. I wish we had thought to take photos. We walked down to Freddy's Tacos and then woke up the next morning and had a great cup of matcha at the place next door - Groundwork Coffee Co. I would come back and stay here again! It made us wish we had an even longer layover. read more

Love this amazing charming hotel. The rooms are decorated so cute and the service is amazing!

Got the penthouse 3. Super clean, super chic and bright yet with touches of old school food days when Charlie Chaplin would stay in that hotel. They restored the place wonderfully to where it feels very clean and modern but keeps the original eclectic and old school vibe! Loved it! read more

Nothing short of an amazing stay. The room was awesome, beautiful, clean, unique, and overall a wonderful stay. It was the perfect get away and I wish we stayed longer. I loved the location and the morning view was breathtaking. Service was amazing and staff was friendly. Felt safe and comfortable! read more

Pictures and real life hotel aren't the same -room is so tiny -no mini fridge -shower head water is so weak pressure -receptionist let us know housekeeper won't clean room everyday , ONLY per request. receptionist didn't mention we would be charged for " cleaning " which it was just get new clean towels and bed made. Sheets , pillow cases weren't new for cleaning. -Venice beach was beautiful but location wasn't so safe. Many homeless. For being a tourists , never been in the area , it's quite scary. If the price was $200 per night , we still wouldn't go back to stay. We did pay too much for very little We might expected too high but from website , it looks so good to be true read more

Hello Yelpers! I wanted to drop a quick note about Venice V Hotel. My boyfriend and I decided to have a quick getaway to the beach last month. We stayed one wonderful night with the Venice V Hotel and loved it! It's beautifully renovated, with a nod to the original design and architecture of the 1930s. It's amazing. The location couldn't be better, literally right on Venice Beach in the middle of everything. The staff was great as well. Since this was our first time away together, I called to specify that I really wanted the partial Oceanview room that was online, the manager told me he'd make a note to make sure we got the room. When we arrived and checked in, they upgraded us to the PH, which was so nice! My boyfriend and I went to lunch, came back, enjoyed the view then watched the sunset, changed and went for a walk before heading to dinner with his friend that was in LA visiting. The next morning we borrowed two bikes (that's included) in the stay, it's first come, first serve so reserve early! We biked to brunch and then checkout the murals, then did a little shopping, before coming back to LA. It was relaxing and fun! I can't wait to go back again. Thank you! read more

Beautiful old hotel has an amazing history and it's been renovated to preserve in Venice history yet have modern conveniences. We stayed in the room that has skateboards for a light and on the walls and really cool architecture. The view of the Venice pride, lifeguard tower was really cool as well as a view of the Boardwalk. The staff was amazing and I wish we could have stayed more than two days . It was really nice to be across the street from some wonderful food and cool vendors all around. read more

The staff here treated us so wonderfully and gave us the best room we've ever stayed in. The hotel was clean, beautiful and extremely well located. Our room had the best view of the ocean, it couldn't get better than that! The room was gorgeous, with an amazing hair and skin product brand. Also came equipped with an espresso machine and a smart TV. There was a great rooftop lounge area, and free bikes to ride too! It was so cute and cozy, I could honestly live here forever. We will definitely be back. HIGHLY recommend. I promise it's worth every penny! read more

This boutique hotel is a part of the Proper Hotel group (yes, Kelly Wearstler's domain!) and that high quality, unpretentious hospitality. Aesop bathing supplies, feather comforters, fluffy clean towels, Nespresso coffee, boxed water, skateboards, bikes, beach towels, but most remarkably the best ocean views for its price point and coastal location. Surprisingly, Venice boardwalk has cleaned up and this place is a true hidden gem. Lots of good food and live music steps away. My new go to when in town for work. Leave your fake lashes at home and bring your beach hat for some down to earth fun! read more

Great location to enjoy beach side hipster days of Venice. Be entertained by the local transients and treat yourself to some take away across the alley with fish and chips in bed. Love this place. It screams LA read more

It's not too shabby. The telescope is nothing but a prop and is not mechanically sound. The binoculars work but is falling apart. Film reels here are as though they don't exist. The establishment is not smoker friendly when there isn't anything to indicate such. The A/C don't even work. PS if my homegirl is charged for anything that is viewed as anything wrong or what have you, I will consider a lawsuit of some kind. read more

Stayed here two nights to be close to a wedding location. Had such a lovely stay! Front desk staff (Ismael, Camila) were so friendly. Location is right on the beach, cafes / restaurants / liveliness line the neighboring blocks. Hotel is clean, well-appointed, stylish. Bike and skateboard rental is included in the 'amenities' fee. Better than what you get with built-in charges at other hotels. Be aware that Venice Boardwalk is bumpin' music at most hours of the day, that is part of the fun. Feels like being in another place, even though we are native Angelinos. Enjoying our stay-cation! Happy with this hotel choice. read more

Super cozy, modern amenities and offerings. I stayed for a night and was impressed- I wasn't expecting a ton but there was attention to detail everywhere and 24 hour staff service is great. Easy to use access cards for hotel door. Great for dogs. Also the minibar and snack bar are $$ but worth it. They have bikes and stuff you can use but I didn't make avail of anything. read more

This hotel was great! It's Venice Beach, so you have to expect a lot of movement and noise during the day, but it was never a problem for us. If anything it was entertaining. Every staff member we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a suite on arrival unexpectedly which was awesome and the room was beautiful and comfortable. Very close to all the action that Venice offers. Would definitely stay here again. read more

Venice V would have gotten a 5 star if it wasn't for their computer error/glitch that did not find my reservation under a CHASE ULTIMATE REWARD redemption. I believe there's a communication error between 3rd parties and their system. They tried their best to accommodate me, I got a small room first night, but next morning the manager upgraded me to a bigger room after they found the reservation in the back end. By then it was too late, I have to pay out of pocket instead of redeeming points for a free stay. The customer service and manager were very nice about it and I appreciated that. Location was great, close to beaches, shops, stalls, shopping, restaurants. Some harmless transients could be seen at night around the area. The reason I am writing this review is the inconvenience this experience is causing me. I've called Chase for a refund of points since November and I have not gotten it back. This part is on Chase, but it also would not have happened if Venice V would have found my reservation without me cancelling it thru Chase, and now unable to get back my 55k worth of points. The hotel itself was expensive, about $850 for 2 nights. And the first night was spent in a small room with a bed for 3, not exactly how I planned my trip. My suggestion to others is they should call their hotels after redeeming travel points to ensure their booking exists in the system. read more

Loved the hotel. You have to have a keycard to get into the hotel which I really love cause well it's Venice and it's a nice safety feature. Rooms well very clean and nice. Customer service was really great here too! We will be back again for sure! read more

The Venice V is a hidden gem. Located in the now dirty, gritty area that is Venice Beach, you walk through a door that feels like a speakeasy to find a pristine eclectic lobby remenicent of the old W hotels when they were in fashion. The front desk clerk was incredibly friendly. As we took the old fashioned looking elevator upstairs we found a mixture of modern convenience, comfortable beds with clean, white linens. The ADA shower and bathroom was impeccable. Not so much of a view, but it was comfortable. read more

There are homeless people everywhere- where the hotel is located there is a small picnic table area in front of the main entrance. During the day it's fine but once it gets dark it becomes a place homeless people meet to hangout throughout the night. I did not feel safe entering or editing the hotel after 8pm. I would stay somewhere closer to Santa Monica to be on the safer side and not have to dodge the homeless. read more

we had an ocean front view room, which was absolutely awesome. The location is perfect for wandering around Venice beach, seeing muscle beach, walking down to the Santa Monica pier and people watching. Location cannot be any better. The room is nice, but made better by the view. on top of that the staff there was outstanding to us. Extremely friendly and very accommodating. I would definitely stay there again. read more

Terrible customer service and 99% sure this place is a scam, they will charge more than what they say and will attempt to steal your money. Wouldn't recommend anyone stay here even if you do end up getting a room. Absolute joke of a business. read more

We stayed at this hotel two weeks after they were open after remodeling. The place is gorgeous and it has been remodeled wonderfully. The location is perfect if you like Venice beach. If you are not familiar to Venice Beach, do your research. It is a unique place and we love all the eccentric aspect of it. Unfortunately the beauty of the room was not enough for us to love this hotel. There is much to improve. Even though we were there during the time that California was fully open and very few restrictions, the hotel did not offer room service "due to Covid". We were not informed of this during booking or checking in. We have been on a road trip and have stayed in numerous hotels with all amenities, so we didn't even think to ask. Not sure what "due to Covid" meant since the cleaning staff were walking around without masks. We had to call for extra towels and coffee and once it was not delivered hod to go down and chase the cleaning staff around. The hotel needs to update amenities when it comes to stuff like wine glasses or cups. We asked for wine glasses and were given paper cups. What left us most disappointed was after we left. I noticed an extra charge on my card. When I called the hotel, they said it was for the robe. I told the person on the phone that we used one robe during our stay and hung it by the bathroom when we left. I was put on hold, then told that they would adjust the charge but the manager wanted to let me know that the robe is missing. I responded again that I left the robe by the bathroom. The person on the phone said that the cleaning staff said it was not there. After spending $600 a night, it feels very crappy to be accused of stealing a fleece robe! Hopefully with more time and better training, this hotel can rise up to match the beautiful rooms. read more
