Absolutely beautiful property, a classic Bed and Breakfast, Airbnb type places are just not like this today. This home is lovely, like taking a step into history. So many indulgent amenities like a huge variety of teas and always available coffee, cool water and continental breakfast and snacks in the dining room all day. The hosts are delightful, never overbearing but available in the morning and by text. And the breakfasts were chef prepared and fantastic, like dining out every morning. They encourage the guests to share breakfast together and chat, Im not normally social that early but we had a lovely time meeting other travelers. Otherwise its a very quiet place, so cozy! Keep in mind it is a historic old house with all the quirks an old house would have, it is not pristine like a brand new hotel. Make sure your expectations are set (it seems some people dont understand what staying in a home based bed and breakfast is like) and you will love this place as much as we did. Its so close to the south pasadena station so we got here easily from the airport.

We absolutely loved our stay at Bissell House!We were looking for something more charming than a big-box hotel, and Airbnbs have become too much work quite frankly with all of the “rules” that come with them. Bissell House was absolutely perfect – the owners put so much care and thought into the place. I couldn’t stop taking pictures and videos – the whole place was decorated to perfection and made you feel like you were right at home.The complementary breakfast was also incredible! We had a yogurt parfait and French toast. The service was incredible – we didn’t have to lift a finger.I highly recommend Bissell House. It is well worth the price (which honestly wasn’t bad and is comparable to what hotels are today with all of their added fees). I hope anyone who stays there has as magical a time as we did.

The Bissell House offers incredible luxury and attention to detail. It went far beyond our expectations in every way. The staff was very thoughtful and the space was well stocked with conveniences. Breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed chatting with the friendly guests very much. My daughter was delighted by the neighborhood parrots too.

This historic house is an absolute gem at an affordable price. The front porch, grounds, formal dining room, grand piano, wood-lined library/sitting room... all charming. Absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED our one night visit. We stayed in Victorias Room and it was delightful. I literally spent about two hours taking pics of the house including lots of small details that I appreciate (door knobs, leaded glass windows, furnace grates, brass switch plates, wall sconces, exterior brick patterns, shingle patterns, bay windows, dormers...). Located at the south end of the famous Millionaire Row in Pasadena. Also close to several good restaurants (we ate at ARU which I cannot find in a Google Search but which was a magnificent tiny eatery with a SINGLE CHEF who knows how to cook!)Seriously one of the best overnight experiences my wife of 35+ years and I have had.

I made a last-minute reservation at the Bissell House when I shifted my plans to avoid driving during Hurricane Hilary. I arrived late in the evening and was immediately enchanted by the serene property in a beautiful historic neighborhood. I stepped inside to a cozy library lit by a beautiful Tiffany lamp. My room was cozy and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and just the right amount of B&B banter (not overly forced/contrived but very friendly). They were my perfect port in a storm, and I will look forward to coming back and using them as a jumping off point for touring the beautiful architectural haven of Pasadena. Plus I would love to try their pool!

Where to start? As soon as we arrived the lady greeting us left telling us she’d be back to do our breakfast in the morning. We were left as the only two people in this spooky old house.It’s scruffy, desperately in need of an update, decoration and a good clean.To describe it as being in a quiet neighbourhood is ridiculous! If you like to sleep to the sound of V8 engines roaring up and down the very busy road you’ll be happy. Otherwise, like me, you’ll be awake all night believing a window is open. When you go to close it you’ll find all the dead wasps on the window sill.The house is very dark, as they keep the blinds down to keep the heat out. This is because the air conditioning is almost as old as the house and almost as noisy as the cars.By the time morning came I had booked us into another hotel for our remaining nights. I was assured they would refund the two nights I had not stayed. They kept this pretence up for weeks, as I type it’s now been two months. They are never going to refund me!!It was a truly awful stay and I was completely mislead by the positive reviews. Where on earth do they come from?

I love the Bissell Hiuse! This was my second stay at this charming, cozy and comfortable home. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Bliss was coming down early to read fhe daily papers by the Christmas tree with fire burning! Breakfasts were elegant and delicious. Library was stocked with books and magazines and sunlight. The gardens are lovely. You can walk to town. Can’t wait to return!! Jane McGrath

Delightful VictorianApril 2023Had a great stay at The Bissell House! The house is beautiful and thoughtfully maintained. The rooms had all the creature comforts and some extras. The living room is like stepping back in time to a warm comforting home in the late 1800s. Enjoyed some delicious brownies with my tea upon arrival. Our morning host each day was Brian who is a fountain of information on the local area and served up a beautiful breakfast. I would highly recommend a stay!Written May 1, 2023

What an incredible gem! There are not many places like this left in the world. Hospitality plus! The thoughtful touches everywhere! The bed is so comfortable in the Garden Suite! I loved the jacuzzi tub and I checked in early to hang poolside! There is a beautiful breakfast spread with gorgeous china for tea service and dining. There is too many fabulous things to note! I hope to come back many times and bring my relatives too. Wow wow. I truly feel restored and inspired. Thank you for having us Bissell House !

Beautiful Victorian home in a very nice neighborhood. Everything we needed for a delicious sleep and welcoming morning. Quiet private environment, shower with quick hot water with excellent water pressure, comfortable bed and bedding, evening beverages available, and fresh hot healthy breakfast.
