Our family really liked this place with antique furniture and lots of interesting art. Very friendly staff, big breakfast. Only drawback is that it can be a bit tricky to find your way the first time, and the GPS tried to fool us. The adress is Selma Av, but the entrance to the parking area is a very sharp right... More

We read some recent reviews & decided to make our own comments. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The Secret Garden B&B in LA! We have stayed in LA so many times over the years even stayed in some rather nice/expensive rooms in some of the best known hotels in LA, but never really enjoyed our previous LA trips. In... More

I first time stayed at the Secret Garden Bed and Breakfast 10 years ago, Easter 2002 to be exact, when Raymond Bilbool still hosted the BnB. Since then I (with family and friends) have stayed there at least 10 times over the years. Many of the reviews posted are - I must admit - plain ridiculous. The Secret Garden Bed... More

Some of these reviews are just plain ridiculous. The Secret Garden Bed and Breakfast is an excellent place to stay if you're in need of quality service and hospitality in Hollywood. The location is amazing! Sunset and Vine is right in the middle of Hollywood, and surrounded by so many sights and attractions. I stayed last week on a business... More

Superior hospitality, great conversation, delicious cuisine and one of the best lodging values in Hollywood have brought my husband and I back many times over the last few years. Reviewers need to remember that this is an older beautiful home and a little dust is common in the absence of modern dual pane windows. I'd much rather be in a... More

When we arrived there was one one to greet us we were on the verge of turning away to find somewhere else when Sylvestor arrived. The bell on the door was broken and we had to phone a number that went directly to an ansewr machine. The hospitality was good but the Secret Garden need one good deep clean there... More

Too bad the rooms were not clean at all - dust everywhere, you are afraid to put something down and walk barefoot over the floor - although bathroom and sheets where clean.... Too bad, as the location is excellent, the interior is not my style but it definately has heaps of charme, and the they really take care of you... More

I had to spend one night in LA recently for work and so I looked for a similar b&b near my job site on Sunset Blvd. Secret Garden looked nice on the website and was a reasonable price, so I went for it. I wouldn’t consider myself a picky traveler but a lot about the experience was a bit janky.... More
