Venice energy, residential-style calm indoors

The Gjelina Hotel keeps it simple and smart, one block from the Venice Boardwalk and Beach. Rooms skip the expected beach theme for an Eastern Europe inspired, boarding-house practicality with a private-hotel edge. It is a stay that puts the neighborhood right outside the door, with lively Venice buzz included.

  • Steps to sand and boardwalk

    One block from Venice Beach for easy oceanfront time between plans.

  • Sister-restaurant dining made easy

The concierge was incredibly attentive and friendly. The room was well thought out, stylish, clean and comfy. The common area is a great added bonus with a view of the ocean.

Beautiful hotel with rustic motif. Immediate parking is convenient , not related to the facility , but $60 for overnight- It’s a bargain for LA. The room was clean and beautiful. The hotel was located within walking distance to the beach and the many shops along the strip. Great overall experience.

4/10 Fair

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

A spontaneous pick which thoroughly surprised and delighted! Highly recommend picking a suite over the single rooms if you are here on a holiday. You won't regret it! Lovely touches to make one feel right at home, super cozy and luxurious.

8/10 Very good

The front door was locked so it felt safe to ring the doorbell in order to enter or use my key card. The room was quiet and not as small as I expected for a full bed. Very clean. The lobby felt like I was coming home. It was very cozy at night, and also lively in the morning. There is a garage parking around the corner for overnight and is cheaper if you use an app like ACE PARKING app. It was worth $20 to park there overnite, since it was difficult to find free street parking. The streets are a bit dirty and walking around smell of drugs. But the small hotel itself was beautiful. Make sure you have a buddy if you're new to the LA area. I dont suggest walking alone at night.
