Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly face. We were just over an hour early to check in and our room was available for us so we could check in early. The hotel itself is really beautiful and the rooms are decorated to fit the aesthetic of the hotel.
The location of the hotel is superb, walking distance from the beach, train station and some very good restaurants.
We didn’t have a car so didn’t utilise the parking, however parking is free.
Breakfast is included and provided a variety of simple bakes, hot coffee, juice and bananas.
The room was quite hot as there wasn’t any air conditioning and we did stay in July- we were able to utilise the 2 fans in the room and were able to open the patio door and windows to get the air circulating. The room and linen were very clean as was the rest of the hotel we saw. We didn’t use the pool but it was a lovely touch.

Overall we had a great stay and would 100% stay again- thank you so much for a wonderful time!

Well, let me just start by saying if you want location this place is amazing for location. But it started out with a check-in time of 3 o’clock. I got there at 4 o’clock and I had to wait 30 minutes for my room. This is a very eclectic type hotel definitely different types of rooms. Our room was right by the street. It was a loft room that had a queen bed upstairs that had no air circulation with a twin daybed downstairs. The toilet room was by itself the shower it was in a room by itself. Sink was in the hallway with no place to put anything. Unfortunately, because the room was by the street I heard all the parties leaving at around 10:30 coming back about 1:30 AM. They were very noisy. It is also in the neighborhood we had a dog barking at about 1:45 AM for about 45 minutes before he stopped the barking. The price was pretty good for the location. I just personally did not have a very good experience, but I think a lot of that had to do with the location of my room.

This place is in a fantastic location, walkable to the beach and State street. Staff was very friendly. Parking was limited, but we got lucky. The grounds are SO CHARMING. Lush with beautiful plants and flowers everywhere. They had a happy hour, which was a nice touch. My family of 5 stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with enough room for all of us. It had what we needed. The place was operating but there were elements that needed attention. The bathtub seemed to be rusting and falling apart, but the water pressure was 10/10. The building appears to have a mix of residents and hotel guests. The grounds is lovely, but they store a lot of unused scraps (gates, posts, pots, etc.) in visible areas, making the place less appealing. Price was right. I would stay here again with my large family.

The location is fantastic and the Spanish charm of the hotel is nice - especially the lush greenery surrounding the property. The hotel is older - and it definitely shows in the wear and tear of the rooms. There is no A/C. The ceiling fans do not work due to the age of the hotel. They do provide fans fortunately. Room is tight and bathroom also tight with only a sink outside the bathroom. I think for the price of nightly stays they should be putting some money into room upgrades.

When we arrived, the staff talked us into taking a room in the adjoining property. They then charged us again for the room. This charge was refunded when questioned during checkout the next morning. The room in the adjoining property was in very bad shape. It was clean, but needed multiple repairs to doors, light fixtures, and other amenities. In my opinion, the room was not suitable for use as a hotel room, much less one for the steep price we paid for it.
Among items needing repair were the door to the patio, the bottom of which was rotted. The chandelier over the bed was not fully functional with bulbs of unequal brightness. The door to the unit was framed in new, unpainted wood. The tub frame had damaged tile. The curtains did not fit the windows being too narrow. Blinds over the tub were broken with missing slats. The toilet was stuck in a room just big enough for the toilet and uncomfortable to use. The room was noisy both from Beach traffic and other guests tromping up the nearby stairs. There was a dresser that was unusable because chairs were in front of it preventing it from being opened.
The bed was nice, but very high off the ground.
Our experience would have been much better if we had stayed in the main building. Staff, on checkout, showed us some of the rooms in the main building and they were much better. A room in the original building would have been a much better overall experience, quieter, and we would consider coming back for such a room.

This is a charming place, but completely uncomfortable and rundown.
This property has no idea about sound proofing. In my room I could hear everything that was happening inside and outside the hotel: people talking, steps, running water, water flushing, people showering, doors closing, doors opening. More over, that was happening throughout all the nights. If you want any night rest, do not choose this place.
The place needs serious fixing. In the room I stayed, the shutters were all broken, the balcony was rusty, even scary to step on.
It has lots of decorations, looks like, they emptied all the flea markets around. The \"antique\" furniture, statues, all over the place. This creates its charm. If only it comfortable and clean.
The good thing about Villa Rosa is the location. It is a walking distance everywhere: train station, downtown, fisherman wharf, harbor, even the Old Mission, if you are for an exercise.

I am 46 years old and travel frequently with my wife. We have stayed in many hotels over the years and rarely experience any issues. Unfortunately, our stay at your hotel was extremely disappointing. expected a much higher level of service and professionalism. On our first night, we went out during the day and returned to find that our room had not been cleaned. We politely spoke with the receptionist, explained that we were supposed to place the door tag outside indicating that we wanted the room cleaned.However, this was never clearly explained to us during check-in. The tag itself has “Do Not Disturb” on one side and “Please Clean the Room” on the other side, but no one informed us about this process. When I originally asked Jonathan if there was anything important we needed to know about the room or hotel procedures, he did not provide any explanation. He appeared unsure and unprepared to assist us.Although we were disappointed, we understood that mistakes can happen. The following day, we made sure to place the tag outside the door indicating that the room needed cleaning. We returned after 5:00 PM and once again found the room untouched and still dirty.We again approached respectfully to ask about the situation, but he seemed uninterested and unable to help. He simply told us we would need to wait for the manager. We also requested fresh towels, which were never delivered. poorly maintained and had visible mold, Overall, terrible horrible Hotel not recommended.

The stay here was unusual. The reviews on Expedia did not match my experience. Let’s start with the parking, it’s practically impossible to find a decent parking spot and the ones in the alley way are less than par. Upon checking in I was asked to write my info on a note pad and was given the keys to my room with no sleeve for them or a pamphlet of the property. My first room was located in a separate building from main one and you can tell that people actually lived there as well. It was super dated, loud neighbors and street noise. Asked to get another room, I ended up in another separate building. The wall mount ac unit didn’t work and the hot tub jets didn’t either. Ran into a housekeeper with zero cleaning supplies or any type of uniform asking if everything was okay. All in all, it was an unpleasant stay. One perk is that you’re near the beach. Save your money and go stay somewhere else.

The best thing about this property is the location! So close to the beach, the wharf, State street shopping and restaurants. We walked everywhere. The hotel itself is older, not recently updated, but we loved its funky antique charm. Our room was dated but it fit with the charm of the rest of the property. No air conditioning but it wasn’t necessary. We had a cool ocean breeze every night through the window. The room was as clean as it could be considering the age of the building… and the beds were not top of the line but still comfortable. If you’re not super picky, you will enjoy the charm of this place. We will definitely come back!

This property is exquisite. My room was on the first floor, at my request. In most cases, my room at best faces a parking lot. In this case my room faced a couple of pools. I got to see a child and its mother in the larger pool, a German Shepard type dog exploring a smaller pool or spa, and its owners sitting nearly talking a having breakfast. And the area was filled with plants and statures. Instead of feeling lonely, I was part of a community of people, plants and artwork.

I booked two nights and was not able to arrive for the first night. I called the hotel and left a message asking them to call me to confirm that they would keep the second night. I also said I was fine with nor refund for the second night. I messaged them the same through Expedia and their website and sent them an e-mail. I received a phone call after midnight on the first day of check in and spent 45 minutes for them to confirm they would keep the second night active. I stay there every year when I go out to see my Retina Specialist and have always had a nice experience, but there is a major gap there with communication. That is why I gave them a 3, although this experience was a 1.

The line to check in was very long, and rooms weren’t ready even though it was after 3:00 because apparently a housekeeper went home sick. The hotel was very understaffed. It seemed that there were only two people on site, and the desk clerk had to leave the desk to take people to their rooms. After 5:00, it seemed that there was only one person on site who was trying to work the desk and take needed items to rooms causing long waits at the desk. We never got the extra towel we requested. The desk clerk was very nice and trying to be helpful but was just overwhelmed. Off street parking is very limited and on-street parking is limited to 90 minutes during business hours. This property could be a true gem but needs some serious love and better staffing.

There is something quaint and magical about the Villa Rosa Inn with an ineffable quality. If you love Rome, Italy, and if you love fountains, have an appreciation of Koi fish, with a passion for spotlessly clean swimming pool that looks like it was updated and rebuilt, and a hot tub spa that really works well, then you will love the Villa Rosa Inn. There is no such thing as perfection, and Villa Rosa is not perfect (the mattress was not comfortable in my room and neither were the pillows but the room was spotlessly CLEAN!!!); the whole complex lives and breathes character from another time and place. The fountains throughout are not to be believed. The lovely Spanish tiled \"Casa\" within and throughout is filled with history, art, and you can tell that every crevice, fountain, statue, painting, and potted plant has a story. I would insist on a room with a better mattress, but if I were to ask myself: Would I return Villa Rosa Inn to stay again? INDEED, I would!!! It was so peaceful and quiet, and it's just a block from the ocean, with some rooms facing the ocean.

Parking is a challenge, which was unexpected, but it did NOT cost extra. It's not easy to get a parking spot.

Yet, because of how quaint, quirky, and unique in quality Villa Rosa was, when I return to Santa Barbara, I will indeed make my way back to this Inn with pleasure.

Respectfully,
George

Room is dusty, stain sheets and comforter.
Stain towels, it looks like unwashed.
Understaffed but friendly.
Breakfast is okay.
Overall the place is okay.

The Villa Rosa Inn is a very European feeling inn. Would feel like it belongs on the French or Italian Riviera! A perfect Vibe for Santa barbara! You can say Charming warm- French country even shabby chic for descriptive terms I will definitely return it makes it truly a memorable stay in Santa Barbara my only criticism and this is my third stay is the front desk seems somewhat unorganized and they're often missing. Another caveat is this hotel as an additional fee on top of the hotels.com reservation price but the very clear and open about it. Yes I will come back and stay again! Soon!

The management, the view of the beach, and overall feel of the room are great. We requested fresh towels and trash to be emptied. Neither worth done. Waffles or bagels for breakfast were awesome ways to start my days!

It’s the first time I got charged a fee and it’s right after I check out, which means they didn’t even check the room yet. with no valid reason, no receipt, no response. Very disappointing…
