Overall Ratings & Reviews Olivia Hotel

parking is limited, but not too bad

Charming renovated Motel in a location that was just right for the work I needed to do in LA. Enjoyed the simple, yet fresh, complimentary breakfast and the nice courtyard.

Well located on the west side. Close to UCLA and the Westfield Mall with easy access to the highways. Good breakfast daily and relatively quite despite being on a busy street. The room was comfortable but small.

an un unexpected jem

The room is nice and the bed is comfortable. Breakfast is GREAT BUT misleading because the property details said it has a bar but it does not at all. In fact no food after 10 am - not even coffee, on weekend. It said “social hour” is coming….i booked it because the area does not immediately have a lot of food options thinking they have amenities. They do have a pretty reasonable mini-bar in room. Overall a little misleading.

I chose to stay at this hotel because I saw online reviews saying it was new and clean. The hotel was renovated from an older building, and the interior facilities have been redone—you can still smell the fresh paint when you walk in. The room is quite basic, and some of the design choices aren’t very user-friendly—for example, the layout and furnishings don’t feel very thoughtful. The soundproofing is extremely poor, and the floors are thin—you can clearly hear noises from rooms next door. The breakfast was also a bit disappointing. Even though there weren’t many guests, the server seemed flustered and disorganized, and got my order wrong twice. The plating looked very appetizing but food itself was nothing special. Overall, staying here once is enough for me. I would rate this more like a two-star hotel.

Cozy, clean and comfy boutique hotel. Good location only a short drive away from many activities. Good for families. Beds were very comfy and the bedroom had enough space. Breakfast included was great with many options some paid but worth it. 3$ upgrade for a specialty coffee like cappuccino that was delicious, also the avocado toast.

Clean, quiet, newly renovated, top notch bathroom fixtures, large screen TV, confortable bed, great breakfast.

The Olivia hotel was great! Loved the courtyard breakfasts and room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very helpful -checking in and at the cafe. Only recommendation would be sound proof windows for rooms right on Santa Monica blvd. Would stay again.

Felt it was an unsage area. Not many options to eat so we had to Uber Eats. Continental breakfast could use some work. I wish I can give this a better review.

Remodeled, comfortable, good looking facility. My only suggestion for improvement would be to offer more options for breakfast. Overall a good value when in LA.

Very clean, quiet and great customer service, I would definitely stay here again!

Clean newer property. Enclosed courtyard. Very nice. Could use more hooks in the rooms for hanging used towels and such.

The staff at the Olivia hotel is very accommodating and extremely nice. This would be a great place all except for the fact that it is a renovated Motel. The rooms are very nice but the setting for the rooms is very motel-ish, with direct access into the rooms from common areas like the outdoor sitting area. Some updates for privacy would really help a lot especially for a nearly $300 a night room.

Not having an iron and ironing board is the deal breaker for me. A hand held steamer doesnt cut it. Why not have both and iron and a steamer...

The breakfast is amazing.

Really loved the breakfast options, better than a standard hotel continental breakfast. If you face the street, you can hear the street. Wish the hot water was a bit hotter for the shower. Overall very happy with our stay!

It was a very clean and very new place. And it was great for proximity of where we needed to be with respect to the university.

Every single staff person was very friendly and helpful. Room and common areas were spotless. Very nice outdoor sitting area. Free continental breakfast was much nicer than simply a continental breakfast - delicious quiche and other food, brought to your table by friendly, attentive staff. Overall, a great place to stay.

I love Olivia’s room decor and how clean and new it is. The bathroom was very nice with a large, well lit mirror. The shower was up to date and spotless. As a female, I wish the shower had something for me to put my foot on to make leg shaving easier but that’s the only thing I can think of to make the bathroom nicer. Everything else was perfect. I was happy that the room had a full length mirror. The snack and beverage choices in the room were great and I enjoyed the complimentary water. I appreciated the safe in the nightstand and the nice quality clothes steamer. The complimentary breakfast was terrific with a lovely presentation and the brewed coffee was delicious. I loved the real plates, silverware and coffee mug! If I was in a hurry, I would have thought that the cafe service was slow, but because I had time, it didn’t bother me. The 2 staff members were working hard and were very friendly and professional. The gym is small, but the equipment is good quality. The fumes from the new rubber floor were strong, so that wasn’t great, but I had a good workout. The courtyard has nice seating options and a fire pit that has 5-6 comfy chairs around it. If cleanliness is top on your list and you appreciate nicely decorated rooms, you’ll be very pleased at the Olivia!
