The Bissell House Bed and Breakfast offers wonderful and relaxing accommodations - their hospitality is top-notch! I booked the entire House for our company to stay at during a staff retreat and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Very tasty breakfast too!

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. Breakfast was an incredible treat - far exceeding our expectations (and since my wife was pregnant and sleeping in, they brought the food up to us in a classy tray). Everyone that works... More

We recently stayed two nights at the Bissell House. Nicely furnished, very comfortable historic property. Staff was very friendly and provided a delicious breakfast both mornings. The only thing keeping me from giving it a "5 Dot" rating was the WiFi. The network was always up and easy to connect to, but the internet signal was very spotty--could only get... More

This is a wonderfully maintained bed and breakfast in an elegant part of South Pasadena. The rooms are steeped in history, and the bedding and towels are lush and plush. Breakfasts are an extraordinary treat, prepared by Ron, a marvelous chef. The piece de resistance is the homemade cake or pie awaiting your tasting each evening in the living room.... More

Our situation was trying to get a far flung family together for our daughter's graduation. The Bissell House fit the bill gracefully. The spaces allowed for cozy reading in nooks, casual dining outdoors, and late night conversations in the living room. There was always tea and other beverages and a homebaked item for snacking in the afternoon into evening. The... More

Our son works and lives in downtown LA and we have always stayed in Beverly Hills when we visit him. But everything in LA was booked because of an international Microsoft convention and because the newlywed royal couple was in town. So, we got on the internet and found Bissell House. What a find. Lovely old home, great breakfasts, nice... More

Nice, old, elegant home - wonderful place for a B&B! Great breakfasts, comfortable bed, tea & snacks in the afternoon, pool & patio area. So much better than staying in a hotel!

It's positioned in a lovely area, Pasadena is so beautiful and really easy to get to everything. We walked into Old Town Pasadena and got... More

We stayed at the Bissell House as our base in LA for 3 nights. The house is a beautiful, elegant old Bed and Breakfast, but perfectly presented. The owners were so friendly and accommodating, and made us and the children (10 and 7 year old boys) feel completely at home . A lovely garden and pool area was a welcome... More

Bissell House is a lovely point of departure for exploration of the Los Angeles/west San Gabriel Valley. Within walking distance of village-like South Pasadena's downtown, the location is hard to beat. The restaurants on Mission Street and nearby neighborhoods have some great food; try Firefly, Gus's, and a sundae at the Pharmacy (share the sundae or skip dinner). The exterior... More
