Hotel Joaquin

The staff were incredibly helpful throughout our stay and went out of their way to remember our names, which made us feel truly welcome. We also loved the clean rooms and the stunning beach view, and the bar was the perfect spot to unwind.

The staff was genuinely kind and couldn't have be more accommodating, and that's coming from someone who travels 5-6 times a year. We got an upgrade without even asking, and felt comfortable from the time we arrived. Great location and a terrific place to unwind and reset, even if for a night. We'll definitely be coming back. 5 Stars!

We went for our anniversary. Perfect spots with no kids. Felt like staying at a friend’s beach house. Beds are excellent. The breakfast was delicious. Staff was accommodating. Will definitely stay there again.

This is a quaint, fun, and beautiful hotel once you get into it. Don't judge it by the street view; rather, once you get inside and see it, you'll love it. The rooms are nicely laid out, and there is a fun turntable for playing LP's in each room. The hotel has a music library, so if you want to listen to classics, R&B, rock, jazz, and blues, it's all there to borrow. Breakfast is easy every morning, and the garden and pool area is comfortable and nice. And it's an easy walk into town, or you can jump on the Laguna Beach Trolley, which is free just around the corner from the hotel that will take you almost everywhere, into town, up to the Pageant of the Masters site and to the Sawdust festival. Super easy. The staff is super attentive, and Jonas at the Bar will make you a killer drink. Go and enjoy!

Staff and service were great! Room was awesome and a nice view!

Outstanding. What’s cool about Laguna Beach? The Joaquin Hotel! Perfect service. Best drinks. Top boutique hotel anywhere.

Perfect stay!

A very quaint and special hotel. Felt like you were transported back in time. Should be more well-known than it is, definitely a hidden gem.

such a good staff really feels like you are in someone’s home vs a hotel

This hotel is one I regularly visit from Los Angeles as a solo traveler. It’s truly a special little sanctuary and I haven’t yet found another place like it. It’s such a great spot to relax in, to feed your soul, and to take in all the beauty of Laguna. The property and staff are incredible and always make it feel like a cozy home they’re welcoming you into. From the quiet but carefully curated rooms to the breathtaking ocean views to the salt water pool and record players humming in the background, you’ll feel the magic of its vibe throughout and it’ll leave a lasting impression on your heart. This is a place you must experience once to truly understand its impact.

Not it. They have some work to do. With lightbulbs out, no option to open the only window (unless you want everyone to see in your room that walks by), no TV, exposed waterlines in the shower and rust it’s a miss. I wanted this place to be nice- truly. But I left a day early it was not relaxing or even nice enough to stay with all these flaws.

Incredible stay, it exceeded our expectations, everything was better than the photos, which isn't common! The staff was 10/10

Awesome location 1 block to beach access, great drinks at the bar at a good price, comfy rooms with a good vibe and ocean views

Rooms were very nicely updated, felt totally brand new. Loved the bathroom tile, decor & colour choice , great design! The keys were cute, the bed was extremely comfortable , welcome drink is a nice touch. Balcony area is nice with a table and chairs to enjoy the morning outside. Property is very nicely maintained & gorgeous. Pool is warm & very chic. Great beds & chairs around the pool & liked the different levels. Owners were very nice, staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Lastly we loved the cookies at the bar at night !

The staff was friendly, the room was clean but we had to ask the front desk for toilet paper. The room itself and bed was nice. Nice for an older property, with a clean pool.

Beautiful little property with an amazing staff and steps from the beach. We will be back!

A true oasis, truly zen. Magnificent breakfast and while no restaurant, they do offer outstanding snacks and pizza for lunch. The pool is a great size for swimming and fantastic loungers. My family hails from Laguna and this place feels like the hotel designed to give you the locals vibe. Rooms are so delightful. Gorgeous boutique hotel. Try it.

Superb

Great!
