This was my eighth stay at the Bissell House —and my first review.The staff of the Bissell House really work hard to make your experience fantastic.Janet, who helps customers make reservations, is always so responsive getting me the room which best meets my needs and answering my questions.Carrie, who prepares breakfast, thought to ask in advance about food allergies and preferences—and has always come through making something unique and delicious. Which says something about her breadth after eight tripsWill, who maintains the property, is very welcoming and had always assisted me with questions about the property. Including helping me get set up to the wifi which was plenty fast enough for video conferencing when work requiredAbout the House: Bissell House is located close to downtown South Pasadena so I walk almost anywhere when I visit. If I choose not to walk, everything is a short uber/lyft ride.When you arrive, you’ll be received by a beautiful porch and enter through a big craftsman door. History enthusiasts will love the decor and nautical enthusiasts will love the house’s library which always has the most recent yachting magazines.The rooms have a very Victorian feel with antique furniture. The house is true to form and doesnt pretend to be something it isn’t. Bissell is the real deal.I’ve stayed in several different rooms. Each has a unique character. Travelers should definitely ask about the larger rooms if traveling as a couple and single guests should ask about the Rose room (a gem) on the third floor overlooking the heated pool.The gardens have a subtle English feel which pairs nicely with the complimentary tea bar. I’ve stayed during peak season when the house was full. And when I was the only guest. the place is always been quiet. And guests are free to come and go as the please.The home is definitely worth looking into and will add an element of character to anyone’s stay in Pasadena.Thanks for all the great memories
My girlfriend and I decided to stay at the Bissell House to celebrate her birthday and we’re pleased at the quaint, charming house. With so many little vignettes and fascinating history in every room there is much to appreciate in this lovely Victorian.
This place is a gem! Gorgeous, great vibes, stellar customer service. Everything is impecable and filled with love. I keep coming back and recommending it to everyone I know. After 6 years coming, it only gets better.
I was a little concerned when I arrived and found my room, The Anna Bissell room, faced Orange Grove avenue. I thought perhaps road noise overnight would make it difficult to sleep, nothing could be further from the truth. I heard no traffic and slept like a baby on the ultra comfortable bed. A bed even more comfortable than my high end Purple mattress. Awesome water pressure from the 19th century pipes and the hottest water I have felt in years. If you struggle daily with hot water and suddenly find yourself with consistent and controllable high hot water pressure you know what I mean. The shower was heavenly. The house is absolutely stunningly gorgeous.Outside the house, the grounds are beautifully kept and I particularly enjoyed the early morning chaos created by the red crested Amazon parrots. I knew nothing about these amazing birds and ended up watching a documentary on them while I ate breakfast.
Truly a gem of a bed and breakfast. I did a lot of research before booking, and Im so glad I chose Bissell House. It is a beautiful estate that is well-kept and feels like your home away from home. Inn keepers are friendly, and told us everything we needed to know to make our stay comfortable. They gave us some tips for visiting the Huntington library and offered us dinner recommendations. The afternoon tea is amazing! We each enjoyed two cups of the creamy coconut white tea during our stay. The afternoon snacks were great as well. And everything was still available to us at 10:30 at night (tea, hot cocoa, snacks).Our room was even better than I expected. We stayed in the morning glory. We had plenty of room for our things and the bed was large enough to spread out. AC in the room was adjustable and great. And the breakfast on Sunday was worth waking up! An amazing quiche dish, yogurt with fruit, a cheese blintze with homemade cherry pineapple jam, and a croissant. It was a very quiet place to relax and hang out. Nice reading materials on the coffee tables to pass the time. I highly recommend! Perfect and romantic place for couples.One tip- if you want to use any discounts, make sure you call them to book a room. I couldnt find a place to input the discount I received for signing up for their newsletter when I checked out online. So I thought maybe it was something I could sort out upon arrival. However, they said I cannot use a discount upon arrival because I had already paid, and I dont think they wanted to mess with a refund and I didnt push it. That was the only disappointment for me. Otherwise, great experience!
We stayed at the Bissell house because we were going to a concert at The Rose Bowl. The owners were very nice and welcoming upon our arrival. Our room was perfect and the breakfast served was delicious. We would for sure stay here again and would highly recommend this Bed & Breakfast. I loved the location and the history of the house. If you are in South Pasadena it a must.
We stayed at the Bissell House in January of this year. Janet & Julie, sisters, were very personable without being intrusive or overbearing. We really enjoyed talking with them. They were very knowledgeable about the history of South Pasadena. One of the things that my husband liked about Bissell House was that it wasnt too feminine or frilly. The furniture was beautiful but was very authentic for the time. Unlike other places we have stayed at, we found ourselves imagining what it would be like to live and grow up in this house. Many of the furnishings were original. They have a terrific secluded pool and patio area that would be neat during warmer months. The bath tub was an original claw foot bath tub with genuine eagle talons. Most of the bathrooms in the house, we were told, were original. There was a special cooked dish for breakfast every day. For instance, we had french toast with pear/apple sauce & baked eggs with pesto sauce. Along with continental breakfast stuff like cereal,toast & fruit. Something for everyone. My husband felt more comfortable being there downstairs in the living room, library & dining room than any other B&Bs we have stayed in. This was probably due to our excellent hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit; Janet & Julie, we will be back.
My wife and I loved this place. The management was very kind and hospitable. Food was excellent. Great location with easy access into downtown & old town Pasadena. And the atmosphere couldnt be better if youre looking for a warm, charming Victorian Bed & Breakfast. The history is very fascinating as well. We hope to stay again!
Bissell bed and breakfast is one of the most beautiful places I have been. The decorations throughout the whole house was absolutely beautiful. The customer service from Janet was spotless. I appreciated the breakfast, it was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back to bissell next time Im in town and bring friends! This bed and breakfast is so unique it felt like I was on vacation the whole time even though I was in Pasadena for a business trip. A plus bissell!!!
Lovely! Breakfast was delicious and the house/rooms are beautiful. Not many guests at a time so it felt very private, and extremely unique.
I spent 5 nights there and it was an overall great experience. The property is beautiful and has a very unique backstory and history. Woke up each morning to an elaborate breakfast prepared by the innkeeper and came home to fresh desserts at night. If like me youve never been to a b&b this is a great first experience!
The stay was great. The breakfast in the morning was delious. The room wasnice with alot space old fash fashion bathroom the bed was comfortable nice tv with alot cable channels.Also have dessert in the afternoon with make your own tea and water. South Pasadena is a nice upscale neighborhood with old fashion homes places to eat near the train tracks overall a great stay. Ill stay here again in the future.
It is literally a great place to live in. The architecture is traditional American style, and room is so comfortable. Desert is well prepared which includes various kinds of cakes and multiple kinds of tea. This is absolutely a great place for vacation.
My friend and I stayed there last night. It is a very cozy and comfortable inn. The owners are very kind and make you feel at home. The house is filled with nuggets of yesterday and the breakfast in the morning is delicious. Do yourself a favor and book some time here. You wont be disappointed. Thanks!
Comfy, clean, and tasty! This marvelous lady built in 1883 is lovingly cared for by the family owners that let you feel at home. Julie spent years developing & perfecting her recipes, so breakfast is a highlight here. A respite from the rat race of LA
A wonderful place to stay with lots of history. There is no elevator so be prepared to climb the stairs (this is why I gave it only 4 stars). Make arrangements ahead if possible, this B and B is popular.
I had just lost my loved one to suicide, when I thought it was over and fall. I just thought pain. I remember thinking that the pain was to great! !!! My heart was without a pulse, God help me! !!! Then, the Bissell house - I was there and thought, these people get me #!# when I found out they knew know the pain of having lost a great loveMy heart in my hand , my life was better with the thought I am excepted and my pain is not judged
We just spent a delightful time at the Bissell House with dear friends. Extremely enjoyable...location-great, info- great, accommodations and food - great. A good time was had by all.
Julie is a wonderful hostess, very warm, attentive, and accomodating. If you are visiting LA, you MUST stay at the BISSELL HOUSE!!! Breakfeast was absolutely delicious!!! Thank you soooo much Julie!!
Amazing place to stay in Pasadena! The location is awesome, the house is extremely comfortable and the garden is magical!
Excellent B&B outside of the busy Old Town Pasadena. This is great if you need to be in Pasadena or Downtown
Great accommodation and very friendly staff. The breakfast was excellent.

2022-06-07The Bissell House was the gorgeous getaway Mom and I needed! The home is stunningly furnished and adorned with antiques do the eye candy is endless. The bed mattresses and linens are luxury quality and we slept so comfortably! The breakfast was lovingly home cooked and served hot and fresh. My one and only wish is that they would install an elevator. The stairs were challenging for my 86 year old mother! After struggling to walk upstairs to her room, Mom urged me not to switch hotels. The beauty and comfort was too hard to say goodbye to!

2022-06-27This bed and breakfast was so dreamy! We stayed here for a one night staycation and I wish we could’ve stayed longer. We came on a hot weekend so we spent most of our day lounging by the pool which was just what we were looking for. We didn’t need to do anything for check-in, our key was already in our room. We also spent the evening sitting in the library (which is beautiful) going through the books, they also have board games. We also spent some time sitting on the large front porch watching the hummingbirds. There are so many little nooks to lounge including the poolside pergola or in the living room which has tea, treats, drinks for sale, and even a complimentary shot of whiskey. We stayed on the third floor and our room was huge with a ton of character, I love the big windows. On a hot day there was AC to keep the room comfortable, although the bathroom was warm since it was in direct afternoon sunlight. There were also snacks and drinks for purchase in the room. Breakfast was also great in the dining room, we had French toast with fruit. Staying here was an experience and made us feel at home, we’d definitely stay here again.

2022-06-22My husband and I just stayed at Bissell House for two nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The home is beautiful and immaculately kept. We stayed in the Anna Bissell room which was spacious and nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and thoughtfully prepared. It included freshly squeezed orange juice, smoothies, and delicious homemade lemon curd. Will was very accommodating to my request to have a gluten free and dairy free breakfast. It was also VERY hot during our stay, and our room and the house were comfortably cool. Our room had its own air conditioner which was nice. We hope to visit again soon. Thank you for a lovely stay!

2022-06-22The Bissell House was warm & welcoming when we arrived. Tea, cookies and chocolates were found in the living room and coffee in the dining room. Because we had an early start the next day, a take-out breakfast was set out for us, delicious croissants, fresh fruit and breakfast bars. The second day, we were served a delicious full breakfast. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. We shall return.

2022-06-13What a lovely and relaxing experience I had at the Bissell House. Came here to get away for the night and explore the Pasadena area and visit the incredible museums in the area. The Norton Simon and The Huntigton Gardens are my favorite.I loved the amazing tea selection that was offered with fresh cookies, and all the other “extras” like a full cereal bar in case you’re still hungry after their very impressive and delicious breakfast. Or their sipping whiskey that’s offered in the living room, I sipped mine after I got back after dinner and it was delightful. Sweet, cozy and comfortable home feel with the fireplace going and the fresh flowers perfectly placed around the home, I notice the small details as I enter places, and that was a sweet touch.I stayed in the Prince Albert room with a glorious bath tub and noticed the luxe toiletries, which included a lavender bath bomb. I had the most incredible sleep on one of the most comfortable mattresses and pillows I’ve slept on in a long time.However my most favorite part, and I said it above was how decadent and delicious the breakfast truly was. Wow! From the fresh squeezed OJ from their own trees, to the quiche that was so good I had to get the recipe and of course try to remake it... but I’ll just come back hopefully soon to have it again since mine was not as fluffy as they made it.I just loved this place so much, it felt like a warm inviting home that you don’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back to.Thank you for an incredible visit, I simply loved my stay!

2021-10-27A tidy, quaint, and very comfortable B&B in a great South Pasadena location. Had a wonderful weekend stay during which I enjoyed the charming sitting rooms and two delicious breakfasts. Really nice touches all around the property with friendly, but unobtrusive proprietors. Utterly delightful experience. Will absolutely be staying again!
