What guests say
8.2 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 1,348 guest reviews
Hotel Erwin earns consistently positive sentiment for its unbeatable Venice Beach location, helpful staff, and well-appointed rooms with beach views — making it a reliable base for exploring the area. However, reviewers are nearly unanimous in criticising the included breakfast as basic and disappointing, and practical frustrations such as costly parking, a steep incidental hold, and a single guest elevator are recurring gripes worth noting.
