Loved our week at the Vurpillat! The staff was very accommodating and welcoming. Super helpful with parking and any requests. The rooms are clean and comfortable and we loved the vintage vibe. Some updating could be done but the imperfections add to the charm. We’ll be back!

Old hotel with charm

We came for a beach volleyball tournament. I chose this hotel because it was walking distance to the Hermosa Pier. They have very friendly staff! If you choose to stay here, a few things to be aware of. It’s a very old hotel. The windows are single pane, and you have to keep them open because the room can get hot (no AC). You can hear the noises outside. For parking, they have a parking pass for street parking. If it’s a busy time, you may have to park several blocks away (like we did). The facilities are old. Our room had a full fridge and mini stove, if you like to cook. Someone before us burnt something and it smelled like burnt food all night. We decided not to come back and chose a newer hotel with AC and easy parking.

I didn't know what to expect staying at a 100 plus year old property but I was pleasantly surprised. It's right on the beach and parking is limited-- but the staff parked our car in the side lot for a fee of $20. This wouldn't be a good location to stay if you are going to be in and out as the staff will have to move the cars. It's walking distance from the pier and lots of restaurants. The room itself was very clean and spacious, although the windows were a little wonky when we tried to open them. There was a fan in the room and the bed was really comfortable! Would definitely stay here again!

Besides Apple Maps getting us lost the place was great. Great location right on beach. Staff was all great really friendly and helpful. Even got us on site parking. Really helpful of a busy week at the beach. Place was showing its age but can’t beat the location on beach with many shops and restaurants all around.

The hotel is very run down and dirty. The location is great as you can walk to the beach but the bathroom is so filthy it’s hard to clean up afterwards. There are mirrors hiding giant holes in the walls, dust everywhere and the curtains are stained with orange streaks. While the view from the room is great towards the water, the overall feeling of the hotel is just icky.

Historic boutique hotel right on The Strand. Lovely updated and modern inside appearance. I stayed in a small studio which was facing a side wall of an abandoned building so it was very quiet. The studio was well appointed. Two points of note. The mattress is larger than the bedframe so slides off overnight. Not a big problem but still strange. The shower is tiny with a rain shower head and the water pressure and temperature is low which was okay for me as it's an old (1923) building but some people may find that annoying. Overall a great location, close to everything Hermosa Beach has to offer and I would stay here again.
