The Eden is a historic hotel in Santa Monica and there have been updates but some aspect/character has been maintained. The rooms were clean and did not hear much of the street noise on Ocean drive. The pool/hot tub was small but welcoming after spending time of the beach which is just across the street from the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The 1st floor coffee shop and poolside wood grill pizza were excellent for snack and drinks. Would definitely recommend

Other than that staff was very friendly. Traffic and street noise can be an issue so CLOSE UP EVERY WINDOW. That definitely helps. Nice rooms and bathrooms. Would have loved coffee or water or amenities in rooms. There are no extras at all. We didn't anticipate that... Especially for the price. We travel a lot so we notice these things. Also, beware of the hundreds (literally) in extra fees. We had never seen anything like like that either. Tourism Fee. Occupancy Tax. Parking Fee. Valet Parking. Valet Tax. Destination Fees... Yikes!! Probably a CA thing...that was unfortunate as well. Hope that helps! Dr. B

Everything was amazing! The staff at check-in were so friendly and helpful. We stayed in a 2-bedroom suite with a gorgeous view of the pier and ocean. Super comfortable bed and even though I didn’t have time for a soak in the tub, it looked amazing. Can definitely recommend The Eden hotel and will be back!

Location of this hotel is fabulous and we enjoyed a view of the ocean from our room. The staff was absolutely terrific...they could not have been more helpful. My only "complaint" was our room. While very clean, the furnishings were a bit tired. Wood furniture such as the desk and nightstands had chips in them. No extras...no bottled water, the bare minimum with the bathroom towels, no makeup mirror and the bathtub was about 3 feet tall which made it very difficult to get in and out of to take a shower. We also had numerous problems with our TV and the staff had to come up to take care of it. They were excellent about it. Be aware of the "resort fee" and the parking as both totaled about $100 per day.

Nice location a little bit out of the main drag of Santa Monica. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very limited inclusions with the room for example no water bottles provided, coffee and tea or breakfast etc, room was very small so much so that we struggled to get our suitcases open. The room only had a double bed in it. The sounds of vaccums started from around 8am and went all morning. There was $350 of pre authorisations on our card at one point during the stay which is higher then most other places we stayed during our trip and inconvenient for travellers. There were a number of hotels at similar price points and the others seem like better value for money and comfort.

Great location and room was great Coffee shop open limited hours, rooftop bar was limited 4-9pm and only a few chairs out.. $35 for a cocktail….. The pool area was completely cordoned off, bar wasn’t open at all whilst works were going on and NO details had been sent to say this and or notification at reception given… They sent enough what’s app messages, check in was fine (she was very good) but the other staff were not really fussed..

While not the first thought of a kid friendly hotel, the website said it was family friendly and we wanted to stay for the buildings history and beautiful architecture. We were not let down, the staff was very friendly and inviting of our lively bunch, we raise wildly independent mountain kids. The rooms were spectacular and spacious, more than we expected. The open windows to the coast with a fresh ocean breeze were just what we needed to relax and recooperate on our business/leisure trip. The pool area was fantastic and drinks were available at the rooftop bar which was very chic and had a nice selection. We made use of the coffee bar in the lobby as well and a few shots of espresso is always nice to start the day. The location is everything here, perfect distance to reach all the spots by foot. Every single staff member was kind and courteous, I usually like to highlight those that stand out, but every staff member we interacted with was topnotch, thank you, each and every one! All prices and fees were well discussed before being charged, there were no surprises on the bill.

The Eden has a fun retro vibe to it, and its location across Ocean Ave from the beach is cool. Other than these two features, I couldn’t justify paying $600/night for the room we had. Yes, it was nice and spacious, however it was incredibly bare: no coffee maker in the room, no tissues by the bed, none of the simple things you’d expect in this type of establishment. The grout in the bathroom needs to be redone, there was one small plastic trashcan in the bathroom. Our room also happened to be above a side street where a farmers market was apparently being held early in the morning, and I was awoken by very noisy delivery trucks at 4:30AM… Not the best start to our quiet California vacation as I’d hoped, but thankfully we only stayed there 1 night and moved to a better hotel in a different neighborhood. Overall, cool but definitely not one of the best hotels as I’d read online.

The staff is excellent at this iconic, historic hotel. They always remember my name, even when I go weeks before visits. My only complaint about this place is the lack of coffee in the rooms or availability of it before 7:00 AM. My work requires me to leave the hotel before 7:00, so I have to find it later in the morning elsewhere. There aren’t any that open much earlier within a reasonable walk at 5:30 AM.

The room itself was extremely small and had a dark, almost “jail-like” feel in both size and color. The rug was visibly dirty and worn, and the bathroom felt outdated and unclean. Overall, the condition of the room did not match the price point at all. There were also basic functionality issues, almost no accessible outlets for charging phones and barely any space to store luggage, which made the stay even more inconvenient. Another downside was that the bar and restaurant were closed during my stay, which was not clearly communicated beforehand and definitely impacted the overall experience. That said, I do want to highlight that the host was exceptional, friendly, professional, and did their best to be helpful despite the issues with the property itself. To make matters worse, valet charged me for two cars when I only had one, and there were additional undisclosed fees beyond the resort fee that was mentioned upfront.

2 Bathrm/2 Bathrm gave us nice space for a family. No extra towels, blankets, pillows, alarm clock, in room coffee machine though. Sliding bathroom door to the bathroom was heavy and difficult to open/close. Tub/shower combo very difficult to get into because of wide, high ledge. Traffic noise from Ocean Ave and Arizona Ave kept me up at night. Pool area could be awesome but it isn’t staffed or managed. Food and coffee from the cafe downstairs is really good. The view & drinks from the rooftop bar at The Velvet Rose is great.

What made the Eden great was the staff snd the location of the hotel. It is an older/historic hotel with redone rooms, lobby and pool area. One thing to call out if you are claustrophobic there are two elevators, and one of them is slightly older and small (you have to pull a door to get the doors to close.)Also, we stayed in two bedroom suite just in case anyone is wondering it doesn’t have a living area, but that’s OK for us. It was very spacious and neat. Another thing to call out is and I think this is because it is a historic hotel. There were very very high tubs where you take a shower. I had to climb over the edge of the tub to get in the shower and if you have mobility/balance issues, it would be very challenging. To be fair, this suite was a mobility suite, and perhaps the high tub is needed for people who use a wheelchair? This wouldn’t keep me from returning, but want to call it out because it could be slightly irritating to climb in and out of the shower (it’s like 3ft high at least- like chair height)). The other bathroom in the suite was easier (like 2 ft) The hotel has a bar/speakeasy on the top floor. which was very very cute (fire pit, roof top). Again above all (and I mentioned this earlier), the service was excellent. Everyone was wonderful and we had the most interactions with Burke (sp?) and the Barista with the beautiful accent. I felt like a treasured guest and would not hesitate to return again. Thank you, Eden for a wonderful vacation.

The property and the location in Santa Monica were both great. The only drawback for us was that the room was rather tight/cramped and there was music playing loudly in the outside courtyard at odd hours (like in the middle of the night or early morning).

Great ocean view. Stayed in 2 bedroom suite. Would be nice if they had chairs or umbrellas for the beach and room service. Roof top food is closed during the weekdays. Comfortable bed and good water pressure. House keeping staff were all very pleasant. Hotel at this price point is missing little touches: complimentary water, towles upon return from being out all day, afternoon refreshments etc. Room could use some updates, shower door paint peeling, etc. Sofa had a urine smell and they cleaned it immediately but no compensation was offered until asking which is standard practice.

The hotel is very convenient, centrally located and walkable to everything...shopping, restaurants, the pier, and the beach. Our room was a bit outdated but very clean. The tub is ridiculously high, almost as tall as the sink height almost making it a safety issue. It was very frustrating to have to ask for washcloths that weren't replaced on multiple occasions. One elevator was out of service so the stairs to the 5th floor became a routine. The cafe was overpriced for what was offered in my opinion. I would stay again only for the staff. They were soooo pleasant and helpful!

The front desk is 5 star, very responsive. They also text you asking if the room is ok, and if you need anything. For made service, when I had the come back later sign, they texted and asked if/when I wanted the room clean with times they could clean or if I needed clean towels. Valet service was also quick and easy The rooms and infrastructure, although updated still feels dated. My and most rooms open up to outside. The bathroom (in my room), is not heated. That is the heater blows heat in the main room does not blow heat in the bathroom so when getting out of the shower the floor and bathroom is cold. Also, the heat/thermostat in my room was not working. It was New Years Eve, and while they tried to fix it, the guy on call also called a supervisor and video called him to try to fix it a positive) it needed a new thermostat that could not be obtained to the next day. Maid service was above average, however one day they left my door open.

The property is great and the staff are friendly. The lack of coffee in the rooms and ice machines is bizarre for a hotel. The fact that the coffee shop doesn’t open until 7:00 is also perplexing.

It’s one thing when the nightly rate far exceeds the service delivered not uncommon; it’s another when an array of misc. charges appears to be the strategy for dragging this aging property back from the brink. With plenty of surrounding options offering better value—and likely far happier to welcome guests—If this hotel wants to succeed, it needs associates who are invested in the experience and ownership willing to fix what desperately needs attention.

Also- you pay over 400$ a night and they don’t have free coffee in the lobby…ridiculous. So ok you have high end coffee shop then and 2 times my husband paid for drip coffee and it was cold and barista was clueless. So here is what you do: put out ( like most hotels do) a thermos of drip coffee in the am and if guests want fancy they order and pay for fancy. I kniw this is LA but come on.

The team was accommodating when I needed to adjust my reservation ahead of time, which I really appreciated. The rooms were private, quiet, and clean. The older boutique charm is a nice change from your typical name brand hotel. One thing to note is that some rooms don’t have standard showers but instead feature large jacuzzi tubs with built in showers. If traveling with someone elderly or needing easier access, it may be worth noting this with the hotel prior to your stay. The pool area was clean and calm, not heavily used during my stay. It was great for both relaxing by the water or getting work done. There was plenty of seating in both sun and shade, with options that offered a bit of privacy. Hotel is located directly across the street from the beach and walking distance to major shops, restaurants, and bars. The attached coffee shop was convenient for someone unfamiliar with the area seeking a local option that's not Starbucks. The space had open seating for guests to use along with a collection of games and books. Staff was friendly and helpful in providing suggestions for dinner and drinks.

A movie was being shown poolside-right outside our room, really loud-which lasted until almost 10:00. To make matters worse, we were offered tickets for $17! To a movie from decades ago we could probably stream for free. We have never stayed in a place that did not offer coffee, if not in the room, at least in the lobby. We had to purchase coffee, for $5 a cup from a coffee bar run by the hotel in the lobby. And yes, a resort fee was also charged. Pretty unbelievable.

We loved this vintage boutique hotel located close to Santa Monica beach. The art-deco ocean liner design and elegant pool deck area are beautiful. Yes the room layouts are a little old school with small sinks and no counter space but there are plenty of updated outlets and the service is fantastic. It can get a little noisy at night on Ocean blvd but it calms down after 11:00 pm. We've advise the mgmt they should have snacks available since there is no market nearby. The old fashioned elevators work great and are part of the charm - there's more personality here than a thousand Days Inns. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

When I called reception to ask for a hair dryer, I was told none of the rooms come with one, which seems unusual for a hotel of this standard. Eventually I was given one, but it felt unnecessarily inconvenient. Similarly, there was no coffee machine or even a kettle provided in the room, which really would have made the stay more comfortable. What stood out more than the missing amenities was the way the front desk handled the situation, not particularly helpful, which unfortunately left a less positive impression overall.

Great hotel. The rooftop bar was closed which wasn’t apparent when I booked but the pool area was super nice. Loved the coffee place- Thank you, Max! Beds were super comfy, loved the salt water pool, pool chairs, towels, wood deck, and efficient toilets. Minimalistic rooms with great public spaces in cool old building in a great location. Greek restaurants down the street rocked. Valet parking was great and easy!

Was close to everything touristy, which was the reason I chose it... Close "driving distance" to all the LA sights. Love the location.... Great food choices too! Beautiful park across the street too!

Comfortable stay. Staff were super friendly and welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home! The room was very basic, I would probably expect a little more quality from a 4* hotel, however it was perfectly ok for us and our stay. I wasn’t a huge fan of paying $55 plus tax for valet parking for the night, which is literally just a tiny car park which, in my opinion doesn’t need valet and could quite easily park yourself. Very expensive parking for what it is.

Our room did not have toilet paper. We told them at the front office, and it was never provided during our entire stay. Not having cable TV will cause us never to stay there again.

Pool bar service and food was great. Excellent coffee bar in lobby. Hotel is right in Ocean blvd just steps from the Santa Monica beach and pier. Shopping and restaurants close by with all the charm and eclectic personality of Santa Monica. Hotel is mostly refreshed with touches of elegance from its classic 50s roots. The rug in the room showed its age but overall was super clean and charming. Bed was super comfortable. A great place to relax. We would definitely come again.

Gorgeous boutique hotel. Stayed for business trip. It's an older building but they've done a great job at making it come alive again. Rooms are basic, but the bathrooms are luxe (nice bath tub!). Views of the ocean (from Queen Suite) are very nice. Neighbourhood is what you'd expect from the Santa Monica area, this is a nice pocket out of the busyness with great option dining options around. Cafe in The Eden is gorgeous - great coffee and basic bites! Loved working from there in the mornings :) Staff were very hospitable and fun! Thank you.
