Detailed Reviews
We stayed at this charming and elegant tiny hotel for four nights for our anniversary and have already booked for next year! The small size and immaculate pool and grounds are perfect for those looking for a peaceful "home" to come back to after hiking the nearby trails or exploring the downtown Palm Springs, which is only blocks away. There is a big communal barbecue with outdoor eating patio as well as a comfortable and whimsical cabana for hanging out in the evenings, although you may not feel the need to leave your room, as most have kitchenettes and seating areas. You truly feel like you are staying at your (suddenly) best friend Nelson's private home in Palm Springs, where he is a gracious but unobtrusive host. Loved it and can't wait to go back.

Our stay at Amin Casa was an absolute delight. Everything about this special place is absolutely first class. The sense of history, with Gloria Swanson’s Hollywood photos on display, adds to the intrigue and ambience. Oh, if these walls could talk.
We stayed for five nights in bungalow number five, which is located adjacent to the pool, cabana, and hot tub. It has huge windows and is bathed in natural light, which was great for us. The decor is a bit more contemporary, and every detail has been carefully thought out by the innkeepers. This is the most comfortable, luxurious, and complete guest house that we have ever stayed in. We made freshly squeezed orange juice every morning from the abundantly fruiting trees just outside of our window - the fully equipped kitchen was great.
The innkeeper Nelson made us feel comfortable from the first moment that we walked in the door, and it really felt like home. Compared to other properties that we have stayed at in Palm Springs, Amin Casa stands head and shoulders above the rest.

We recently visited our daughter who was staying at Amin Casa. While there we chatted with the owner and experienced such warm hospitality at this beautiful property it truly made a difference in our short vacation. (We wished we had booked Amin Casa for ourselves rather than our usual spot!) In addition to the genial atmosphere, our daughter's room was perfectly restored and amenities were plentiful. It is a small property, but delightfully landscaped and cared for. All staff we briefly had contact with were friendly, responsive and truly seemed happy at their jobs. We booked our next PS vacation here and can't wait. If you are looking for a lovely, very quiet, but friendly place to stay in PS within easy walking distance to restaurants, bars and downtown, Amin Casa is the perfect choice.

We travelled as a couple with our little dog in February and had a fabulous experience at Amin Casa. The Bungalow (#1) was elegant with an extremely comfortable King bed and everything was super, super clean. It was great to have a little kitchen area too, for making breakfast or snacks if you didn't feel like eating out. The whole property was beautiful, with peaceful gardens and a gorgeous heated pool. You're only a short walk from the main area of Downtown Palm Springs, but it is so quiet and relaxing. The owners Nelson and Ramon are charming and Nelson went out of his way to make us feel so welcome. Would totally recommend Amin Casa and would go back this weekend if we could.

A magical retreat in the heart of historic Palm Springs. Quiet, clean, charming cottages, lovely grounds and a beautiful pool. A little hidden sanctuary. We loved having fresh oranges and grapefruit from the trees outside our room, what a treat. Nelson and his staff do a wonderful job and we can’t wait to return.

An amazing place that I can’t say enough nice things about. Amin Casa is in walking distance to all the great Palm Springs restaurants and bars on the strip. Having a full kitchen makes life just easy. We had groceries delivered and ate poolside regularly. We had plenty of space with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room. We will be back again next year for sure.

Than you to Kelvin and his beautiful wife Yayi for such a warm welcome. Stunning property, with beautiful touches to enhance our stay. It was a truly unique experience staying at Amin Casa and cannot rate it highly enough. If you are lucky enough to get a big below here you wont be disappointed

I had the opportunity to tour the property and hear the fascinating history. Old Hollywood and fresh, stylish accommodations close to the heart of Palm Springs. Serene courtyards. Gracious host. Beautiful blend of modern comfort and nod to the past. I can imagine reading a book in a covered garden nook or dipping in the pool.

A delightful find in a quiet and lovely neighborhood in Palm Springs, but in close proximity to restaurants and shopping. Our bungelow at Amin Casa was bright, very nicely furnished, immaculate and equipped with everything we needed. Lovely pool and gardens. Friendly and attentive staff. Would absolutely stay again.

When we last stayed there breakfast was not included. But there are restaurants a short walking distance from the inn.
