The Vurpillat Beachfront Hotel

We would like to thank you for the attention shown during our stay. We highly recommend it and plan to return soon for another visit.

***** Five stars. Right on the Strand

The location truly couldn’t be better. You’re literally steps from beautiful Hermosa Beach, with an amazing walking and biking path, volleyball courts, great cafés, bike rentals, and everything you could want. The atmosphere is so relaxed and welcoming—it feels like you’re in a completely different world from the hustle of Los Angeles. The owner was one of the highlights of my stay. Friendly, welcoming, easygoing, and genuinely cares about making guests feel at home. I also have to mention the bed—I slept like a baby every single night! My room had everything I needed, including a full-size refrigerator, gas stove, toaster, coffee maker, and a well-stocked kitchen with all the essentials for cooking a meal. One of my favorite parts was the outdoor seating area. I enjoyed my morning coffee there every day and even shared a few evening drinks while chatting with neighbors who quickly became friends. The mix of short-term guests and long-term residents creates such a warm, home-like atmosphere that’s hard to find anywhere else. This place is a hidden gem. It combines the comfort of an apartment with the convenience of a hotel, all in one of the best locations in Hermosa Beach. I can’t recommend it enough, and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for making my stay so memorable!

My elderly travelers needed a parking spot to be close to the property. An on-site special parking (by request) was granted, and even a wheelchair was also provided to us with no additional charge. The owner and his hotel staff were so friendly and very helpful. Enjoyed the two separate bedrooms with a kitchen. The history of the hotel was fascinating. Just loved the stay with the grand view of the Hermosa Beach!

The location is perfect. However when we originally booked we didn’t realize the hotel and the building next to it were still under renovation. Our room had no air or a fan or even a trash can. We found dirty towels hanging on the bathroom door from the previous guests. The lack of transparency of where the hotel renovations and next door were not cool. You can find a better spot. Don’t waste your money

Jay is awesome. They are in the middle of renovations so it was a bit of a mess but clean. The sheets smelled great. Can’t beat the location!!!

Would give this property 5 stars for location and kitchen but it is a little rough around the edges. The value is there to return however.

Best location and view on the beach!!!!

Jay was awesome

Great location. Super nice staff. Rooms are clean and comfortable but old and showing significant wear and tear. Good for budget seekers who don’t mind aged accommodations.

Great location! Simple, yet elegant accommodations.

Early check-in was free No such thing as valet parking tho Parking was free after waiting for a hour for it The room looked clean but the arm chair was stained, white curtains stain, the shower head is vintage super cool but it’s pretty nasty since the shower head is completely green from copper , mold something The restroom tub has a wrap around curtain since the wall isnt lined or tile. Felt tight no way u can stand inside the tube and not have the curtain touching you. Not one fire alarm No paper towels in the kitchen 1 free water bottle 1 creamer for one coffee lol Reservations were for two And lastly the noise -ROOM 101 is zero privacy right next to the front desk Paper thin walls , 2-3 inches from the front door gap let’s u hear everything Windows are very outdated A stick is used for locking the window No noise control People were sitting in the front of our windows (the ocean view ) pretty much all night so sleeping was difficult, lack of privacy. No ac , so we had to leave the windows slightly open Great location just needs a lot of work on tne actually building

An older building with the bathrooms having some peeling on the baseboards and paint due to moisture. The overall room was very quaint and the staff were enthusiastic about helping. Initially when entering the hotel there is a lot of remodeling occurring as well as furniture misplaced, but the space is very authentic and has so much potential .

Excellent location and price. My original.room.wasnt ready on time sonthey upgraded me to a bigger suite. Staff was great. Would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Vurpillat. The hotel is a charming vintage building and it’s great that the owners are taking care to respect its history and character. We stayed for a week as a family of 5 with 3 small kids in the studio room. It worked well for us with a kitchen and two beds as well as space for a pack n play. The room had been partially updated and the beds were comfortable. Ours did not have a view, but we didn’t mind since the beach is literally at the doorstep of the hotel. We appreciated the availability of a neighborhood parking permit for our rental car. We never had a problem finding parking, but there are also paid spots available next to the hotel. This is a vintage building with a relaxed vibe and an excellent value for its location. To anyone complaining that it is a “flop house” they do not claim to be a 5 star resort. It’s a cute place full of character with clean rooms and friendly staff right on the beach. We will certainly stay here again next time we visit our family in the area.

Right on the beach, so handy after spending the day on the sand. Staff was amazingly helpful. Made me feel more than a customer. Lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Room was cozy. Very dog friendly.

The property was so cool and the location was perfect. Staff was amazing and we loved our room

Location is incredible and the hotel is very well maintained. Staff is friendly and helpful! Overall, we’d certainly visit again!

Great room overlooking the beach. Room was bright and open. Windows need to be addressed but over all a Nice place to stay.

It was fantastic to be right on The Strand! Only major drawback is lack of parking. My medium-sized room was nearly perfect! Only drawback was the small square shower with shower curtains for a shallow-panned shower made for a fairly wet floor. But I loved the historic feel and like I was in a house rather than a hotel. I also liked having the kitchenette.
