Breakfast was excellent, great muffins, the innkeepers and staff were very nice and helpful about everything. Parking is good here, and the house and garden are beautiful. Santa Barbara is a great city with tons of stuff to do and we are glad that we stayed at Bath Street Inn!

This was our first time at a B&B & in Santa Barbara, it was soooo very special. The Bath St. Inn is a wonderful victorian home with rooms that each are unique & have their own character. The owners are wonderful & helpful ,as is the whole staff there. The breakfasts were great & servered in a beautiful fashion.The "sweets"(which are plentiful) are yummy!!!!! We asked for recipes !!!!!The tea time & chese & wine was a "nice touch", We are sooooo glad we picked the Inn & would recommend it if you"re looking for a special time in the Santa Barbara area !!!!!!

Central location, beautiful inn, interesting (in a good way) breakfast dishes. They served breakfast entrees I've never tried before and they were quite tasty! Easy to talk to other guests and that made it an even more unique travel experience that you wouldn't get in a normal hotel. It is located about three blocks from State street where all the restaurants, bars and nightclubs are located. It's near the shuttle that will take you to the beach. Highly recommended!

The price here was the lowest that I researched on the web. We stayed in the Rose Room and found it to be quaint & lovely. We slept with the windows open and enjoyed the cool breeze. The bed and the hardwood floors creak & squeak - be wary if you are a light sleeper. One night we were just too tired to go out so we ordered pizza and enjoyed the movie library they had available. This was our favorite amenity! Also, the hot-tub and breakfast were great! We would love to come back and visit!

My husband & I stayed a couple of nights at the Bath Street Inn--we loved it! The room was cozy and very clean. There was a little TV set with a VCR player. Downstairs was a very good library of videos. The food was delicious. Homemade. Healthy yet very tasty. Unlimited sweets. The innkeepers were great. Marti was so friendly. And Deborah was a great hostess too! Would definitely go back. My only suggestion is that the bed in the Rose room may need to be greased. It was kind of noisy--if you know what I mean (wink-wink).

We stayed for 2 nights in the Wedgewood Room. It was one of the more inexpensive rooms and on the 3rd floor - but that was okay with us. We loved being up high and looking out of the street, the lawn, etc. The bed was very comfortable which is hard to find now days when traveling. The bedroom was small and cozy, but had great window seats. The bathroom was small but had a roomy shower, plenty of shelf space. The entire unit was cozy and comfortable. The hostesses were great, food was delicious, and they gave us all kinds of hints on places to go and see. We would definitely visit this bed and breakfast again.

My husband and I decided to take a last minute trip to Santa Barbara. We ended up booking The Bath Inn. It was so quaint and romantic. Deborah, the inn keeper, went out of her way to make us feel at home and we did. We will definitely be back. Lovely lovely Bed and Breakfast..very clean and our bed was so comfortable bed. We never sleep in but did that morning. Also, there was a big jacuzzi bath. The Bath Inn is far enough for some peace and quiet but only 6 blocks away from State street. Deborah recommended a GREAT restaurant called Opal on State Street! Check this place out! Highly recommend. We didn't even have a chance to have breakfast or make it to their free wine and cheese hour but Deborah sent us on our way with some homemade muffins. cheers, Jamie

i loved staying here and i will return! i loved the victorian style and it had a homey feel, i felt very at home here. each room had their own bathroom. i stayed in the Tiffany room and the Rose room. the Rose room fit me better, personality wise, it was more me. both of the bathrooms i loved. they both had wonderful shower heads that had great water pressure. it wasnt like some places where they dribble water. their breakfast was amazing! you sit down at a table and they serve you like a resturant and they give you a few things to choose from or you can have all the choices if you want. personally i love the yogurt and granola. then there's tea time! they put out tea, cookies, and a few cakes. those are out all night! and these cakes, i think, were homemade! im not sure if they were homemade but i think they were. anyway, they are all low calorie, light, cakes. they were delicious! after tea time they have a wine and cheese hour. i never attended the wine and cheese since i dont drink wine and i was out at the time they had wine and cheese. the staff are friendly and always willing to accomodate all your needs. they made me feel at home. i love the Bath Street Inn and i definately want to return!

Charming house within walking distance of downtown Santa Barbara, but not in a noisy area. Our room was the smallest, but clean and well appointed, and there is so much to do in Santa Barbara that you won't spend much time in the room anyway. Amazingly good breakfasts, and really excellent cakes and cookies at "tea", followed by wine and cheese. We will definitely return.

We stayed at the Bath Street in over Labor Day weekend. The food is to die for and - BONUS! - they shared recipes! Even though the Inn was full for the holiday weekend we never felt crowded and were well attended. I was pleaseantly surprised at the lack of noise in the room - we never heard a peep from the other rooms on the floor. They must have sound proofed very well in the renovation. Easy walking distance from shopping and dinning on State Street, but our favorite night was when we ordered to go from an Italian restaurant and brought the food back to eat on the beautiful patio at the Inn. Debra made sure we had all the plates, flatware, etc. that we needed, and even put a fresh pot of coffee on for us before she closed up. Then we had a fabulous fresh chocolate cake waiting for us for dessert. The patio is under a tree canopy strung with white lights for a very secluded, romantic feel. It was the perfect end to a perfect stay. I highly recommend this place.

We picked Susan's Loft and it did look just like the picture however we had no idea how small the room was. taking a shower is a challenge as it's slanted. The TV is very small however we didn't see much of it. The location of the inn is very close to major sites. We'd stay again but pick a larger room.

My husband and I stayed last night and I agree with all the other reviewers about the innkeepers' great hospitality and the abundance of treats and breakfast. I may as well add something new—a mini-review of our room—Susan's Loft. It looks like the picture, and I will admit, I chose it because it was one of the lower priced rooms. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The advantages of this room were: beautiful views, private outdoor deck, corner windows, very QUIET, away from the street, comfy bed. The disadvantages were: a bit tight space-wise, especially if you like to take showers, the walk-up to the 3rd floor, and tiny TV (but who is there to watch TV anyway?!). We enjoyed walking to State Street, meeting the other guests at afternoon tea (iced, in this case!) and cookies, and sitting on our deck with evening desert and again with morning coffee. I'd stay again.

I was in LA for a business meeting and my husband fly into town mid-week. We drove up to Santa Barbara for a weekend together without our two boys, for the first time in years. We were a little nervous about staying in a B&B because it was our first time. I have to tell you it was beyond comfortable and relaxing. The women who ran the B&B were so helpful and kind. We are planning to go back this year for another weekend trip. I would absolutely recommend The Bath Street Inn.

My husband and I stayed at the Bath Street Inn for our honeymoon towards the end of September. My husband had never stayed in a B&B and was skeptical to say the least! But as soon as we were greeted at the door, his worries vanished. The Inn is immaculate, the breakfasts' are phenomenal. Homemade cookies, cakes, tea, coffee were always available, and we loved the wine and cheese hour. The Bath Street Inn allows you to be as private as you would like, or definitely provides an opportunity to make new friends. Everyone is extremely friendly, and were always willing to make recommendations about where to go, what to see, where to eat, etc... The location is perfect! It is is walking distance to everything. The Inn is definitely worth its value.

The ambience of room and other areas of The Bath Street Inn was superb. Personnel outstanding in terms of graciousness and efficiency. Food portions generous and more importantly elegantly presented. Every morsel delicious. We stayed in Summer Room which was lovely. Our only complaint is that there is not enough bathroom space (shelving) provided to put needed bathroom items (hair appliances, shaver, other bath and makeup necessities). We had to keep going from bathroom to mirror in bedroom (taking turns) to get ready for wedding.

Review Bath Street Inn, Santa Barbara, CA

Photo Album

The Abigail room is named for Abigail Hails, who enjoyed the room as her sunny master bedroom when the house was built for her in the 1890s. The warm greens, refreshing pinks and comfortable king size bed welcome you to her special place.The Country Suite has everything you need for a home away from home.  Occupies the 2nd floor of the Summer House. Stay for a weekend or a week: full kitchen, open canopy four poster bed, jacuzzi bathtub, rocking chair, VCR, and your own gas fireplace in a Ben Franklin stove.
The Garden room beckons as you step through the private entrance to the only room on the ground floor in the 1890s house.  Breathe in the atmosphere of a quiet sunny French country garden and soak those cares away in a double jacuzzi bathtub with shower.Susan's Loft is your own romantic aerie. Up on the third floor of the Summer House with views of the Santa Ynez mountains from the balcony, a gas fired Ben Franklin stove and a jacuzzi bathtub, see how life gets simple again.
Victorian cabbage roses surround you in the Rose Room, our most old-fashioned room in the 1890s house, 2nd floor.  Lounge on the queen size bed with its iron frame and let the soft light and quiet ambiance restore you.  Then into the jacuzzi bathtub for a luxurious soak.The Summer Room on the third floor of the 1890s house soothes with its peach colored wall paper and sloped ceiling.  The king size bed has a vibrant floral comforter sure to keep you cozy.
The Wisteria Room is a favorite among our guests celebrating their anniversaries. Private, ground floor room, with a gas fireplace, air conditioning and a double jacuzzi bathtub, create a world of your own, just the two of you.Food makes a vacation and we love food.  From that first cup of coffee or tea to the last bite of a delicious hot gourmet breakfast, you are in good hands.  Our home baked cake and cookies are not to be missed and the evening wine and cheese hour brings the day to a mellow close.
Enjoy the grace and simplicity of this light and airy old fashioned room where soft blue wallpaper with tiny rosebuds complements the charming quilt.  On the third floor of the Victorian, the Tiffany room has a queen bed, bathtub and shower, cable TV and VCR.  A twin rollaway bed is available on request.
