My wife and I had never been to a bed and breakfast so we read up on several in the area and decided on the Bissell House in Pasadena. It was great. The ladies that run the house are very friendly and knowledgable and we really enjoyed talking with them. We had a four course hot breakfast served to us... more

After doing my usual pre-stay research on TripAdvisor, I concluded that the Bissell House would be a wonderful unique location in the Pasadena area for my wife and I to stay while visiting relatives and conducting business in the area. Our experience matched the glowing reviews provided here by the vast majority of other reviewers, which we found to be... more

Our stay at the Bissell House was wonderful! A tall hedge surrounds the property invoking a true feeling of privacy. It opens into a serene garden with a comfortably furnished large porch. This was my favorite place for conversations. Although a somewhat busy, although small, street runs along one side of the property, it remains a peaceful haven due to... more

Feb.2008.The Bissell House B & B, Pasadena, California, USA, equals a 6 star hotel. We felt welcomed as into a family home of a bye gone time still clothed in all its splendour, amazing. Relaxing by the pool amidst the pot palms and orange trees, helping ourselves to the varies teas ( we're English) or red wine(true), as well as... more

My mother and I stayed in the Rose Room and it was exquisite. The entire home was decorated for the Christmas Holidays and it was truly magical. The food was scrumptious (ask for the pikettes) and the afternoon tea and goodies hit the spot. I can't wait to go back with my husband. I highly recommend this B&B. The entire... more

First of all I traveled the world all over and there are very few places that meet my entire expectations. The house was more than a bed and breakfast it was an oasis. Room service was excellent, the meals were of the highest quality (kudos to the new Chef) and the patronage was lovely. Nothing second rate at all. This... more

My husband & I booked the "Victoria Room" @ the Bissell House to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. Jennifer (Innkeeper) could not have been more pleasant & hospitable. We had a great time. Loved the pool, the house itself, the breakfasts & the warm welcome. I would highly recommend the Bissell House. I would also like to praise both,... more

I come to Pasadena for buiness on a regular basis. The Bissell House is a real haven for me on these trips ..It is great to drive into the tall green hedges to this oasis. This historic home and garden, is beautifully maintained and lovingly cared for. I love the attention to detail, evident throughout, starting with the large, welcoming... more

I booked the B&B after reading glowing reviews online. What a disappointment. At first glance it's a beautiful house in a beautiful quiet location. But staying there was far from ideal.... Yes its an old house and thats the charm but everything seemed old and dusty. The plumbing was so old that we couldn't get a strong stream of water... more

Management response from
Juli Hoyman, Innkeeper

Because some customers might be swayed by the comments of her review, I must state that we observed this guest & her mother to have had a wonderful time in our inn for more than 24 hours, both amongst themselves & with the other guests. She retained her list of “complaints” for checkout time and we surmise that she had...
