Hollywood Bed & Breakfast

This place is amazing. I feel selfish for not wanting more people to find out about it but I also feel compelled to applaud a great business. Super clean bed and breakfast from the rooms to bathrooms to common areas. Upon our last stay we saw Nina cleaning the pool area which already looked very clean to us. The two times we have stayed here it has poured rain. We have stayed in two different rooms and they were both perfect. We will be returning in July and I can’t wait. Maybe I will get to use the pool this time :)
Awesome location and the breakfasts they provide are really fun. Super reasonable prices for the rooms. Love it!

This place is clean, comfortable, reasonably priced and the COOLEST b&b you will ever see! Worth a trip to Hollywood just to see it! Very artistic and imaginative.

This place is amazing! Not only is it extraordinarily creative, artistic, and colorful — candy for the eyes — but it is obvious that hosts Nina and William care deeply about serving their guests and have paid attention to EVERY little detail! When we first arrived we worried about the noise from Hollywood Blvd which is immediately adjacent but there is a white noise maker (with a wide choice of sounds) next to the bed and we also ran the AC fan on low overnight, allowing us to sleep (in a very comfortable bed) without any problem at all. The breakfast is not cooked but there’s a big selection of cereals, yoghurt, bagels, breads, etc., to enjoy. We’ll definitely be back.

My wife and I spent our 10^th anniversary at the Hollywood Bed & Breakfast, and we loved it. This was our first visit and the only negative thought I’ve had about the experience was that it was only a one-​night stay. There was so much that we didn’t experience, but the meticulous composition and thought put into the placement of interesting little relics in every corner and nook was amazing. I just kept on taking pictures and video all over the house.
The bed was so soft and comfortable. Our room (Comet room) had everything we needed, and even some things we didn’t know we’d enjoy using. It was so homey, yet classy and beautiful.
We woke a little late for the full breakfast experience, but what we had was still awesome.
Adjectives I’d use to describe Hollywood B&B: enchanting, creative, captivating, eclectic, whimsical, magical, comfortable…
We had a great stay and I can’t wait for another excuse to visit.

Without question the most spectacular hospitality venue in Los Angeles of any type. The Hollywood Bed & Breakfast should itself be a city attraction. It’s a marvel. HIGHLY recommended. William, the owner, is just about the nicest guy in the world, the prices are great, and the features and accommodations are unmatched and unparalleled. See it for yourself. You won’t believe your eyes.

I recently came down to California for a working vacation– a week in Santa Barbara for the Writers Conference, and then a week in Hollywood for researching a new book.
I didn’t want the usual antiseptic hotel, but I didn’t want to be out in the boonies either. When I found this little jewel, I lucked OUT! And because I stayed a week, my rate was reduced! I stayed in the little Maverick Room upstairs, which was just big enough for me, since I was traveling alone. I even had a little desk to set up my laptop to write or plan my days.
It’s super easy to find. Literally ON THE CORNER of Hollywood Boulevard and Orange Grove Avenue. I loved that it was right near everything, but removed from the rest of the chaos on Hollywood Blvd. Fairfax is right there, so I learned to use it for all my traveling needs.
I had seen the pictures online, but pulling up in the parking area, I was stunned. there is very little in this place that has not been painted, or covered in coloured marbles, or antique hardware, or rusted metal garden sculptures. Beautiful.
The living room is a quirky space, with a huge manzanita branch covered in Christmas ornaments and coloured lights. Below it sits a stuffed crocodile. Eclectic furniture and plenty of books on Los Angeles and old movies lay around for your browsing.
French doors lead out to the incredible pool area. It’s a showplace. William has built little planter boxes that are all over the property. I totally want to duplicate them now that I’m home!
They love coloured Christmas lights, as they are all over– the back patio, going up the stairs, you name it.
Check out the lavatory at the foot of the stairs. Turn on the light, and a mirrored alcove above the sink comes alive with mirrored shards and colored marbles. Obviously a labour of love. And I coveted their massive Samson and Delilah poster every time I walked past it!
William and Nina were super nice. Since I was an art major as well, she and I bonded over art and my writing, and William and I chatted about old Hollywood. They were wonderful about offering suggestions for things to do, and their amazing collection of maps and brochures can get you wherever you need to go. Nina let me have a map when I first got there that helped me negotiate Hollywood and downtown the rest of the trip. I called it my happy map. Also, I used their map to LAX to get most of the way there, then customized it to get back to the rental car depot. Was glad to have it, since I was driving the route at 4 AM.
Nina even brought me some fresh tomatoes, which I thought was an incredibly sweet gesture. I had told them how much I loved the produce in California, and how awful tomatoes are in the winter in Edmonton. She also brought me some mango, but I was stuffed that night.
There are plenty of restaurants nearby on Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard. The first night, I grabbed a cab to the Larry Edmunds bookstore and grabbed dinner at Musso and Frank’s across the street. I think it was about $ 20 for each trip, in case you need to cab it. Also, the Eat24 app has plenty of restaurants that deliver, and William and Nina have a notebook with some menus in the parlor downstairs. This was great, because they leave you space in a drawer in the refrigerator in the kitchen to put your leftovers. This worked well for my Lamb Coconut Curry. Just rinse off your dishes and don’t leave any of them or any leftover food containers in your room. You might have some uninvited guests. I only saw a few the morning I left. To me, it was a small price to pay to stay completely immersed in history the entire trip. The house was built in 1912. I soaked up every bit of the character!
Since I was their only guest for a day or so that week, we got to see lots of each other. It was like staying with friends, rather than strangers. I can’t WAIT to go back!

This lovely bed and breakfast is utterly enchanting. The owners have made a lovely home into a top flight inn. You must stay here during spring and summer to experience the gardens and pool. The owner has used stunning art touches everywhere. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. Bath was very nice as well. Rates very reasonable. Breakfast lovely. Excellent coffee too! Ten stars out of five!

My wife and I stayed here with our two daughters the third week of March. It is a beautiful and wondrous place! The owners, Nina and William, are outstanding hosts. The location, price, and facilities are excellent!!!

We had a great experience at this comfortable little hotel-​alternative. The house is quirky and the owners are very nice. This was a great retreat from LA congestion. Loved eating breakfast on our veranda.

I read a recent review about Nina and her beautiful B &B. I am coming to the defense of guest. Nina can be a bit overwhelming. It was strange that EVERYTIME no matter what time of the day or night (and she is not a morning person) she would pop into the home when we came downstairs. I know there are cameras or something telling her people are walking around. I just wonder where these cameras are???
We mostly stay at Bed & Breakfast places. I usually feel comfortable to walk around whenever I wish. At Hollywood Bed & Breakfast that was not the case. Perhaps, it is because she has a beautiful place with many collectibles?
I really did not want to tarnish my previous review but need to mention the temperature issues as well. We were upstairs. Our room was so HOT. Since no one else was staying there at the time my husband went outside our room and turned down the heat. I did not DARE to open the double window because Nina may see from her cottage.

Been meaning to write these wonderful folks a review for nearly a year!
I had the pleasure of being a rather special guest here — I was their first B&B Bride! Nina and William played host to my family (some from both sides) in the week leading up to our wedding, myself & bridesmaids the night before, our guests for the ceremony & reception, and to my husband & I on our first night of marriage. Despite this being their first event of this kind, they were both very accommodating and helpful! I greatly appreciated Nina’s efforts to ensure that every little detail was perfect! And William was a doll in terms of helping us get the place physically arranged and assisting with planning coordination.
Their property really is a unique gem! The building’s history, it’s evolving artistic décor, and the proximity to everything make it a great spot for tourists or staycation-​ing locals. The pool is lovely! Plenty of common spaces — enough to enjoy some privacy but still see some guests around the house. Each room is a special little sanctuary.
I would recommend Hollywood B&B to anyone visiting the LA area. Prices are comparable to other area spots — but the cozy, whimsical nature of this space makes it stand out in the crowd, for sure! It’s a work of art from foundation to rooftop!!!

I was looking for a comfortable, safe, centrally located hotel for a 3 day visit to Hollywood. I wanted to be within walking distance of the Avenue of the Stars on Hollywood Blvd.
I found the Hollywood Bed & Breakfast and it was just perfect. It is far enough off the main drag that you can find peace after a busy day. It’s beautifully decorated, creative and fun. The beds were comfy with nice soft sheets that stayed on the bod. The bath, though tiny, has good hot water flow. The garden and pool were beautiful, would like to go back in the summer.
Breakfast was serve yourself with a wide variety of healthy choices, and a great selection of tea and coffee, Easy and comfortable.
They had tons of information about all the main attractions. And it was easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit. Handy having free behind the gate parking too.
Will and Nina were very welcoming, but left us a lot of room for it to be our vacation — it felt like we had a huge beautiful home at our disposal.
Thanks so much for a perfect place for us to stay.

Wonderful place… just came from two nights there… beautiful innovative inspiring art, peaceful surroundings even tho you’re right near the sound of traffic, it all feels serene and buffered… and the owners are totally lovely… an oasis in the midst of Hollywood!

We spent a night here in early July, an anniversary gift from our son and daughter. We never would have known about it otherwise. An utterly delightful, off the beaten path (relatively), beautiful property, nice and private behind high gates and tall trees. The owners are very creative, making a homey atmosphere with a lot of artistic flair. Beautiful hand blown glass, stuffed animals used decoratively, interesting furniture, each room is individualized. Very elegant and wholesome (cold) breakfast with many choices of food. Also a swimming pool, which we did not have time to use, and a jacuzzi tub in our bathroom. Interesting colors, and photographs, and all sorts of bric a brac throughout. We loved this place and would love to return, some time!
