Hotels near FIG Gallery, Santa Monica

This hostel was really clean and pleasant. The shared bathrooms were spotless, and the shared kitchen was very well equipped. I actually regret staying here for only one night during my trip to LA🥲🥲 If I ever travel to LA alone again, I would definitely stay at this hostel again😀 The staff were very friendly. On the first floor, there is a shared kitchen and a laundry room ( with both washers and dryers), as well as a space where you can play pool and board games.

The service was incredibly thoughtful. I'd left an English book open in my room, read a few pages, and then rushed out to explore. When I returned to the hotel, I found a new bookmark with a message: 'Open your book and enter a world of tranquility. The Pacific awaits your new chapter.' The sea, the beach, the sun, a good book – everything for a perfect holiday comes together right here.

Not bad, and fairly clean. Check-in is done in a small room on the right hand side of the main entrance. Usually no one is there. Knock on the small window.

The room is quite big, a bit old, but the quality is very good. The big bed and sofa bed are very comfortable. The elevator is a bit slow because there are so many people. The two elevators are very small and you have to wait for a long time. There is no swimming pool. There is a free private driver who can pick up and drop off within a three-mile radius of the hotel. Bicycles are free to borrow. Parking is valet parking service. Self parking is not allowed.

The room was big but located in the back of the building with direct access from the street. Felt a little unsafe. The hotel also charged me twice. The first card was declined but for some unexplained reason partial payment was still taken. Sorted it out in the end but it took a couple of hours explaining to my bank and the hotel manager to get it corrected.

**The stay experience is good and it is recommended. ** The advantages of the hotel are clear: 1.**Hygiene**: The room is very clean and impeccable. 2.**Service**: Staff are friendly and responsive. 3. **Location and convenience**: The surrounding streets are safe, and it is very convenient to walk to the beach, which enriches leisure choices. 4. **Environment**: The atrium courtyard is beautifully designed, adding a sense of leisure to the hotel. Overall, it was a worry-free and comfortable stay. Dining, leisure and living needs were met and in line with expectations.

The location of the hotel is fantastic—just a 5-minute walk to the Santa Monica Pier and 2 minutes to the beach. There's also a Starbucks only 5 minutes away. The shared balcony offers a stunning view of the beach and the promenade, which was one of the highlights of our stay. The building itself is two stories, and while the rooms were clean, they were quite small. The beds were also small, despite the description stating that the room could accommodate up to four people and that the bed was double-sized. Unfortunately, the bed was too small, and one of us had to sleep on the floor. The price was very high, but I assume that’s because of the prime location. Despite these drawbacks, it’s worth staying here for the convenience and cleanliness. The receptionist was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early at 12:30 PM, even though check-in officially started at 3:00 PM, which we really appreciated.

We really enjoyed our stay at Santa Monica Pier Apartments. The location is fantastic — just a short walk to the pier and beach, and there were plenty of food options within easy walking distance, which was really convenient. We were expecting a beach view, but our apartment was at the front of the building and looked out towards the road instead. This wasn’t a problem for us, and the apartment itself was very bright and airy. It had everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchen, table and chairs, bathroom, little laundry and comfortable bed. There isn’t a lounge area, but as we were only staying for a couple of nights, that was fine. We also really enjoyed having the balcony. The white curtains looked lovely and let in plenty of natural light during the day. The only downside was that they didn’t block out the streetlight at night, so the apartment was quite bright while sleeping. Some blockout curtains or blinds would make a big difference. The hosts were great and responded very quickly whenever we had a question. Overall, we found the apartment to be clean, comfortable, well located and good value for money, and we would happily stay again.

The room is nice but the air conditioning is old. It once stopped. After the staff fixed it, it stopped again and we need to use the fan mode instead.

Very convenient location and there are CVS pharmacy and Bristol farm around where you can buy groceries. Guys from reception is very nice and helpful. Definitely will choose it again in future.
