Beautiful hotel and location
Fantastic couple of nights stay. The hotel has been skillfully designed and has that home away from home feel. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful - nothing seems too much trouble. Be prepared to pay top dollar for cocktails, when combined with the views from the rooftop terrace (for hotel guests only), worth it. Only downside was the noise from the PCH (right in front of the property) but there isn't much the hotel can do about that!

10/10 Exceptional

Surfrider is a quaint, boutique hotel in beautiful Malibu. We stayed here while visiting Pepperdine University nearby and had a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the beach house vibe was exactly as advertised. My only feedback to keep in mind for future guests is that it is not quiet (PCH is very noisy) and it is VERY difficult to get a ride-share (Uber or Lyft). If you have to get somewhere on time, just take into account that an Uber may take a long time and there's no guarantee that there will be one at all. Will definitely be back!!

4/10 Fair

More like a motel than a hotel-It’s on hwy 1, so traffic noise is to be expected- At first our experience was great Ariel the manager set us up with a room with a comfortable bed- The AM delivered coffee from the roaster they partnered with was amazing- The hotel has a upper deck where u can drink your coffee while you watch the pacific- amazing view, but the experience crashed when i pulled a long hair out of my eggs- that in itself would not be so bad if not for the additional hairs my wife then pointed out to me- They were not the kind from your head- Disgusting… was it because i ordered no toast? One bad actor should not ruin it for the good staff, so if you go here just don’t eat!

6/10 Good

The location by the beach is great. We had a downstairs room with no view of the beach and in hindsight should have forked out additional for room with view. Some of the staff were very disinterested😕. There is no coffee making facilities in the room and they forgot to deliver our complimentary morning coffee which wasnt a biggie - nor did it seem to be for them. We found the food average with about an hours wait between courses. If we stayed again we would flag the onsite food and dine at the pier restaurant across the road. The food there was excellent. Overall a pretty avg stay in what could be a much better hotel experience.

8/10 Very Good

The best feature of this hotel is the roof bar/restaurant. It is fantastic with amazing views of the beach, ocean and pier. We had rooms 16 & 17. 17 is excellent with a cathedral ceiling and a fan. 16 is a good room, but has a flat roof and no fan. This is because the roof bar storage room is directly above and noise from the team setting up starts at 7.00am every morning. The hotel faces the beach with PCH directly in front of you before the beach. It is noisy, but the insulation in the rooms is pretty good. Overall I’d give it an 8/10 rating though whether it was worth the $10k for two rooms for 5 nights is questionable.
