Loved the beautiful house, lovely room and the delicious breakfast and friendly service. Would definitely return! Great price for what you get as well! The grounds are beautiful as well and very close to downtown LA.

“Quiet Charm”

Reviewed 31 March 2013

I have been to Los Angeles many times but never have spent any time in Pasadena. It is chock full of things to do except on Tuesday which happened to be the day we were there. We arrived at The Bissell House on Monday late afternoon and were greeted by Kari, a very high energy individual. She was very welcoming,... More

“Charm and Breakfast”

Reviewed 14 March 2013

I am of a generation that does not know what a non-electric Bissell broom is. The B&B is home of the inventor's family. It has maintained a nice old charm with history including a 'Einstein was here' moment. You MUST stay for its 8:30 breakfast. Invite your friends in LA for this memorable event! It's worth the extra plate and... More

“Really enjoyed our stay!”

Reviewed 27 February 2013

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 wasn't too feminine or frilly. The furniture... More

“Lovely Victorian”

Reviewed 24 January 2013

The Bissell House is a nice, comfortable, Victorian Bed and Breakfast. Although I was a little concerned upon arriving at a locked door with no one in sight and no answer on the phone, we quickly connected and host was welcoming telling us a brief history of the house and showing us around. They graciously accepted my Groupon with no... More

“Marvelous getaway close to LA”

The Bissell House is a charming and comfortable bed and breakfast in a well-maintained, lovely old house. The chef, Ron, creates delicious breakfasts every day, and there is tea and cake available every afternoon. We stayed just over a week, with another couple, who also enjoyed the house and its beautiful garden. Another plus is that there were interesting things... More

I enjoyed a one night stay at the Bissell House while attending a few business functions in Pasadena. The Bissell House is a charming victorian mansion located on the corner of Orange Grove Blvd. and Columbia just a couple of blocks from the 110 freeway.

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful valentine's day stay here. It was a perfect place for my pregnant wife to relax while I was at work.
