Villa Brasil Motel

Tried to book a room here for my parents but unlike most motels, they do not allow you to book through their website or even by phone. Instead, they require you to download a PDF form, print it out, fill it out by hand, scan it back into your computer and email it to them as a «reservation request.» Oh, you can also fax it to them if you still have 80s technology available to you.
I attempted to call them as I did not want to go through all this elaborate mess, but their phone number simply has a recording insisting you use their ridiculous procedure to book a room. So, since I didn’t want to sit by the phone hoping someone might call me back to confirm the reservation, I did what I imagine most other people do and booked a room elsewhere. These people obviously do not want customers.

Stayed here for a night and it was great. Little kitchen area, nice bed, full sized bathroom, Direct TV, easy parking. If you’re looking to stay on the west side and want to keep it close to $ 100 (and don’t want to stay by LAX or in Compton) this is the place. Bowl of apples, fun size snickers on the bed, easy in and out.

This hotel is lovely; quaint, tropical looking, and clean with lots of thoughtful details.
There was a lovely bowl of green apples, a coffee maker, a wet bar, a clean microwave, soap, clean towels, a neat and well-​appointed bathroom, cable TV, a great refrigerator with ice trays, a generous closet and comfy beds & cozy blankets.
I have a nearby residential business and my home is 35 miles away. Sometimes, I just need to get away from the clients of my business and take a mini-​vacation in… Brazil.
I like this place, it’s so clean and cozy.
I will refer anyone that wants a pleasant, inexpensive, pet friendly motel stay here.
…and I’ll be back regularly.

The comments regarding the registration process are correct. It is a bit difficult as you must email or fax your request and only then do they confirm your stay. It is cumbersome and confusing. Once you get over that you are fine. The room itself was very clean and had a fair amount of extras such as apples and tea, coffee, bathroom supples and other items. We stayed four nights. It was clean but there is no maid service on Sunday and the first night no one came to make up our room. The doors and windows are not very secure. Our window would not close all the was nor could you open it. There was plenty of hot water. The strangest thing about the room was the bed. It sits on a large slab of cement. The cement was poured directly on the floor to form a solid box and the mattress was placed on it. The mattress had springs and the overall affect was uncomfortable. I did notice that some of the rooms had regular beds. There is also a frig and microwave in the room. There was a flat screened TV. The a.c. Was ok. It cooled the room but was very loud. I did not sleep well because of the noise and the bed. The towels were snagged and the sheets had holes and stains. The floor is tile and I suppose since this is a pet fiend lay hotel that helps with clean ups.

Great location since there really are no decent Motels along Washington Blvd. We went to Alibi Room Bar and needed a place to stay for the night near there so we wouldn’t have to drive. Stumbled upon Villa Brasil Motel and was pleasantly surprised. Rooms were small but very clean and kept up nice. It’s like small cottages and a Microwave oven, small refrigerator, wet bar sink and flat screen TV all included! The beds have decent linens and they are comfy! The property itself is very well maintained with flowers, plants and each unit has its own table and chairs seating area outside the front door. Plenty of parking with each unit having a spot right outside their door. There is also a very good Brazilian restaurant on site that the owner also runs. Affordable, quaint, charming, clean and convenient!
Will definitely be sacking out at this little gem again.

Tried to talk to someone about a multiple rooms reservation. First they do not want to talk to you, when you call they send you to their web. When you finally get a hold of someone, they are rude and extremely unhelpful, like they do not want your business at all. I went somewhere else.

I loved this place, stayed here a week. Very cozy, dog friendly and beautiful flowers all around. Free WiFi. And they have a great restaurant right there.
Down the street there’s a great Indian food place and market. I recommend to anyone waiting for a new apartment to stay there a while instead of staying with friends. Private, safe and comfortable.
The owners were really cool too.

My friends and I stayed here a few months back and although we liked the décor and the price, we didn’t like how we had all eyes on us the entire time we stayed here. We were bringing a small cooler for our sodas into the room and the owners of the motel just kept staring at us. Later in the evening we came back from the beach and they called me and made sure I wasn’t having a party. Telling me this is a family place. Really? (Keep in mind there was only 3 of us) I understand the concern but don’t just assume things. I found it very rude and insulting if I wanted to be hovered over I would’ve stayed at my parents house. We came for a weekend getaway not a place we paid to be babysat

You can’t beat this place for the money. Unlike any motel you’ll see in LA. It screams Brasil !!! Wonderfully decorated & painted. Owner couple is typically super Brasilian nice. Their restaurant next door is awesome too. Each room has a little patio set outside where you can hang out sipping a drink. Although I’ve never been to Brasil, it felt like I was there.

A vivacious slice of beautiful life Villa Brasil mixes the comforts of home with the vibrancy of Brazil. The room was quaint and offered a kitchenette with delicious green apples, coffee maker, and mini fridge. This is a great place at a great price with undeniable character. We will definitely return!

This is a really cute place to stay. When you pull in the colors are wonderful. It makes you feel like your somewhere other than where you are. The only bad thing is the guy who sat outside my door late at night talking on his phone. That was a little rude to me but thank god I was so tired I was able to fall back asleep fast. The Restraunt next door is definetly a plus. Check it out. I would for sure come back to this place. Ask for a cash price you’ll stay cheaper.

Nice to have a little kitchenette. You could have your doggy. The only thing that was kinda off was the super loud brazilian music that they play all day. It was like a carnival all day long.
Front staff was probably a little too much in our grill always asking questions, always around.
But the place was nice and clean and cozy.

I stayed here for two nights. I wish the furniture was different. For example, the bathroom sink didn’t have any room where I could put my toiletries other than a small space in front of the mirror. I also wished there was a shower door with a bar where I should hang my towels and clothes rather than only having shower curtains and some hooks.
I didn’t know how to lock most of the windows, which was a little concerning.
I liked how you don’t have to hang a sign outside the door to prevent the maid from cleaning your room (you would have to hang the sign to ask her to do the cleaning).
I really like how there was a kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, and a sink. If you bring your own food, don’t forget to bring dishwashing supplies like I did. There’s also a coffee maker, coffee stuff, paper cups, plastic cups, various towels, toilet paper, shampoo packets, soap bars, ac you can control, a heater, wifi, and a tv.
Overall, this is a decent place to stay. There’s one parking spot per person.

Villa Brasil is a super cute place to stay on the westside. I’ve been eating at the restaurant for years (LOVE) and recently stayed for one night when I was in a bind. It was clean, affordable, and I felt more than welcome.
I used the wifi to work and was happy with the connection. plus lots of channels on the flatscreen! The room was a tad chilly. I had extra blankets in my car that I threw on the bed.
Check out is 11am. Yummy apples offered in the room. plus a nice kitchenette for those with extended stays. One parking spot is included with the room. Located right on Washington Blvd, out-​of-​towners can take a short bus (or bike!) ride directly to Venice Beach and it’s close to the freeway.
I recommend this hotel to those who are well travelled (outside of the US) and aren’t super picky as it is not a luxury hotel.

Villa Brasil is a family-​owned and operated motel. It is charming and quaint, painted colorfully and reminiscent of the Brazilian Tropical Charm. Each of the rooms has a little sitting area outside of it, and a kitchenette inside.
It is pet-​friendly.
I have booked friends here, since i once lived nearby. Every single person who stayed at Villa Brasil came back to me, highly complimentary of the accommodations.
I would check friends/​family in at Villa Brasil again.

So glad my dog’s animal hospital recommended this pet friendly bed and breakfast (breakfast is not included but they give your room apples). I was short on options since I was displaced from my apartment as the apt mgmn’t made my living room and kitchen what seemed to me like a hazmat zone. (Ill be writing their review later)
My 12 year old poodle and I were out of many options and this family owned hotel welcomed me well after regular business hours. I checked in for 2 nights and have been in great health, and my poodle has loved napping and catching up on his rest here with breezy cool rooms (even though its hot n sunny out).
The Café Brasil restaurant right out front is also 5 stars in my book bc of the delicious food and the overall feel you receive here.
It’s just exactly like a café I’ve always been meaning to find. Super friendly husband and wife duo who make the motel feel like a hotel– and the food feel like home. I had the Portuguese sausage sandwich and tasted the chicken milaneza even the small side salad is just right. The paradise drink is really good (iced tea and lemonade) — I would come back for this drink and just sit out with a book. also looking forward to trying the Brasilian coffee. What’s nice is when you have a dog and he’s napping in the room you can bring eat your food right out front … honestly, I didn’t want to leave!
Thank you Villa Brasil Motel, I got great rest after an extremely stressful situation and you made 2 days of our lives quite peaceful, that goes far more than 5 stars. Thank you for being so warm and for keeping the room clean. Even though I heard a neighbor here and there making weird noises, the value for the visit has left a lasting impression. I would definitely recommend any friends to stay here for a nice nights rest located right next to a very mouth-​watering restaurant.

Unilocal 100 Challenge * ³⁸⁄₁₀₀
I made our reservation about 2 weeks prior to our stay with great joy knowing that we’re paying at a very affordable rate for quality service — and that’s exactly what we got! Upon checking in, my parents and I were given two keys to a room with 1 queen bed and 1 twin bed — chocolates on one bed, fresh fruit basket filled with apples, a cozy kitchenette complete with a mini-​fridge, microwave, coffee maker (with coffee, sweeetener, creamer, oatmeal package) and a sink. We had a closet next to the queen bed with 2 extra blankets provided, a suitcase rack and multiple hangers.
Bathroom only had a couple of shampoo sachets. Good thing we brought our own set. There was also 1 soap bar. Television had a boatload of channels so my father and I switched from watching my favorites Comedy Central, NatGeo, Food Channel and some sports for him.
You will absolutely love the Brazilian memorabillia that surrounds the colorfully decorated motel. There were chairs and tables outside each room, a quaint spot to enjoy watching the sky turn from dark to light in the early morning.
Only 1 parking spot is available for each room. Check-​in is at 3pm and check-​out is at 11am the next day. We managed to have ours extended until 12pm and they were very lenient about it. There is no continental breakfast but you could enjoy authentic Brazilian food right next door at Café Brasil at an affordable price. The night we stayed, there was no need for air-​conditioning because it was pretty chilly outside. Next morning, you are guaranteed to wake up to song birds chirping and singing outside your window. Felt like I was in another country altogether.

I really liked the décor of this motel, inside and out. My bf and I stayed for one night over the past weekend. The room size was typical for a motel, but they have definitely done much to transform this motel– to give patrons the look and feel of Brazil. The room was more than reasonably priced, and centrally located; we were mere minutes away from every tourist destination. While we did not have the opportunity to dine at their on-​site restaurant, my bf stated that the restaurant smelled absolutely wonderful.
There are only two things I didn’t like about it.
The first thing is the registration process. I am used to registering on the phone or online. At the Villa Brasil, their process involves faxing or emailing registration paperwork, including billing information. Once they have received the paperwork, if they have availability for the nights you requested, they register you. In my case, I faxed my paperwork to them at 2:30 pm CST requesting two nights and received a call at almost 9:00 stating that one of the nights were not available. So, they cancelled the entire registration. Luckily, I decided to call them on the day of our arrival, and was told they had a recent cancellation.
The other thing is the smell of the room. This place is pet friendly, and you can certainly tell. The smell of dog permeated the entire room. I don’t own any pets for a reason, and when I’m paying for room accommodations, I don’t want to feel like a dog is constantly next to me. Though I was forewarned that this motel is pet friendly, and I really love the concept, I was taken aback by the smell in our room.
I love the look and feel of the Villa Brasil, I just don’t love the smell. And so, for that reason, I would probably not return.

This place was great!
It’s very quaint. I stayed here the past weekend on a mini-​vacation. It was very relaxing. Once I arrived, there was brazilian music that played throughout the entire parking lot. It felt like the music was being played specifically for me for my arrival. I believe every room had a working bathroom/​shower, fridge, coffee pot, & kitchen sink. There were a lot of cabinets to place many different items from your baggage to your snacks/​food. Dogs are allowed & even though the pet deposit was cheap, i regret not bringing mine.
Someone is always at the front desk to service you or answer any of your questions.
It’s a few miles from the Venice Boardwalk and i wish i had my bike because there are so many places to see there and so many things to do at Venice Beach.
Right next door is their owned café, Café Brasil. Try their Pao de Quejio (cheese bread) it’s amazing! Their Rancheira Skirt steak is served with rice, black beans & a salad. It was so tasty.
There will be a Brazilian Festival this upcoming September 8^th & because of a great experience here, im definitely thinking of going back to book this place & attend the festival.

I love Villa Brasil Motel,
I stayed here this past weekend and I really did feel like I was in Brazil!
The décor of the motel both the inside and out is beautiful.
I felt like I was staying at a Brazilians house, eating brazilian food, listening to brazilian music, while I talked to some brazilians I met on my stay. Sounds like I pretty much went to Brazil right!
The owners are extremly nice and welcoming.
There is also a Brazilian restaruant right next door.
You can call in and get your food delivered to your room!
And to top everything off staying at Villa Brasil is very affordable!
I love this place.
I highly recomend staying here, you’re seriously in for an adventure!
