Bath Street Inn, hotel in Santa Barbara

Nestled in Santa Barbara, this Victorian B&B is less than a mile from the Arlington and Granada theaters.

Absolutely amazing! A 10/10! We had the privilege of peeking into all the rooms on the 1st floor and let me put all the rest of the comments to peace-they all looked absolutely inviting and comfortable! The host is warm and welcoming, she bakes proper American cookies for her guests. Breakfast was quality. Everything was spotless and smelled of fresh linen. Beach is a 40min walk past clean and safe streets. Parking organized next to the inn. There’s just no downside to this place! An absolute 10/10.

Nice place. Very friendly and accomodating owner. Nice room. Location is ok if you don't mind being a little off State street and the wharf, but it was fine for me.

    Staff was very positive and helpful. Rooms were nicely cleaned as often as you requested. Nice swimming pool. Free bike rental. Pool and beach towels are provided for your use. Great location to many walkable shops and restaurants in Coast Village Montecito. Butterfly beach is a 12-15 minute walk away and is beautiful (but no bathroom facilities.) Many other nice beaches (with facilities) are a 10 to 20 minute drive away.

    Location, view, ambiance & staff. Very cozy place, my second time returning to Ala Mar Inn. Nice coffee always available and sweet treat breakfast included. Also ability to use pool at sister property Villa Rosa, that comes handy on a hot day!

    For all the years that my husband and I have selected vacation rentals both in the States and abroad, the Bath Inn stood out as exceptional in a number of ways. We both were extremely relaxed and comfortable at the Inn due to the warm and helpful staff, the beautiful surroundings, the delicious breakfasts, cookies and evening wine. The Inn was clean and comfortable; the guests friendly and down to earth. We loved our 4 day stay at the Bath Inn.

    Location was exceptional and the stay was quiet and calm in a beautiful neighborhood. Easy access to quaint cafes and shops along Coast Village Rd. The beds were amazing and had a good nights rest. Staff was accommodating and helpful. Its a small and charming Inn located in a prime area , perfect for a few days of rest.

    We ended up being put in a room at Villa Rosa-right next door (sister hotel?). Beautiful room, beautiful hotel with gorgeous antiques in the lobby and throughout the building. Melodie at the front desk was awesome. Both hotels are across the street from the beach and a quick walk to State Street.

    My daughter liked the breakfast items. I noted they were all gone by 8:30 though most days. Location best reason to stay here. My second reserved room ended up at the “villa” across the street. Nice amount is space and perk of separate sitting room .
