Secret Garden Hotel is a must stay.
Beautiful service and clean. Patricia was wonderful/ We loved our stay.
Allan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cute, quiet little place, tucked away. Room was homey, did not feel like a hotel. Staff were great, very friendly.
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A unique and most quaint little Inn. Only four rooms nestled in a courtyard behind the equally quaint Peruvian Restaurant. Small but cozy. Breakfast was provided by the restuarant, the most delicious choices of eggs or empanadas. Friendly and welcoming owners. Highly recommend.
Nicola, 2-night trip

Would stay there again!
This is a cozy little hideaway that I thoroughly enjoyed staying at. Location is excellent. And the included breakfast comes from an amazing little Peruvian restaurant. I would stay there again.

Great location in village...room was a little funky...don't think I could handle multiple nights there!

Cute and eclectic. Perfect location. Delicious breakfast.
Kevin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall it was a nice stay, but the floors and some of the surfaces in the room were a little bit dusty/not the cleanest. Really nice look to the room though and you get your own patio! Jetted bathtub was nice and the area around the hotel is cool too. The Peruvian restaurant is super good as well.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great choice
The room was very nice. Rustic room that was very comfortable. Great value for the area and close to the beach.

10/10 Exceptional

The location was great and the unique way that the grounds and room were decorated added to the enjoyment of the stay. Natana, who was our personal contact person if we needed anything was awesome.

this was the cutest little gem in downtown Del Mar, but I didn't feel like I was in the middle of downtown.

A quiet hotel
The room in which I stayed was beautifully decorated with Knick nacks . The bed was extremely comfortable. Despite what other reviews said about this hotel being noisy, I found the Secret Garden Inn quiet. The breakfast included was delicious . I would definitely stay at The Secret Garden Inn again .

Place has lot's of potential but seems neglected
Pawel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

So cute, bohemian. The breakfast was excellent, convenient coffee maker, the jacuzzi tub drain stopper did not work, so we could not use it other than to shower, the manager is kind of rude, but the owner is sweet and a very talented architect and designer. Will stay at this one or Les Artiste - owned by same owner - again.
Kristine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hideaway is a gem. This place is beautiful, clean, quaint, and comfortable. There’s a balcony with a view of the ocean. Has a small tub/jacuzzi in the room. A coffee station is just outside the room. Secure parking is very close to the room. You won’t be disappointed.
Dennis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is a little hidden gem! You check in at their sister property, Les Artists Inn, and they show you the way to this property approximately 2 blocks away. It only has 4 rooms total. The vibe is a very Bali/zen type of decor. It is attached to a wonderful Peruvian restaurant where you get your FREE breakfast. Their empanadas are to die for! Don't forget to tip your chef!! He will take care of you! This place is in the heart of del mar within walking distance to all restaurants, shops, and the beach. We will definitely stay here again!!
Shannen, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was in need of maintenance. Roofers were working the entire 3 days stay outside our 3 rooms. The jacuzzi in the suite above us went on each night at 10:30 or 11 pm when we desperately needed sleep. There was no one to call and ask for help then. In the morning, there was no creamer for coffee- except powdered cream. I called but none arrived for 4 hours. The Peruvian restaurant food was delicious in the restaurant that was in the building. We loved the breakfast. The hotel should have cost a lot less and had better service. Roofers working outside all day warranted a large discount and a warning. Too bad for us!
Joanne, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

WE loved the place when we arrived but when we went to bed I woke to bites on my legs...maybe fleas??? We also noticed that the sheets were full of sand and crumbs. Spoke to the manager and he said that clean sheets were placed but he has been very short on staff for the cleaning. This is not what I expected and we are very disappointed.
lisa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

There are just a few issues that if resolved could make this better. 1. The coffee bar was not stocked all the time. Breakfast was good but it would have been nice to have a cup of juice or mike with the meal. 2. The Microwave was broken. 3. One day we had no hot water. It was fixed not sure why it was a problem. All in all we had a good stay just need some finishing touches.

Quirky
A quirky and unique hotel with some very good features, including location, but not clean enough. While there, a neghboring apartment complex was being roofed. Noise fro 7am to 5pm.
