What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Loved everything about this place! The location was perfect for wondering around the town via walking. The ascetic of the house was so cool from the luggagein the hallway to the old creeky stairwell. The room was perfect. The right amount of space. We were welcomed with open arms as we arrived at the house and showed straight to in the in house bar. Loved this place Can't wait to come back to visit”
“Lovely room, fantastic decor! Stayed in room # 13 but had no ghost experiences. Beds were too comfortable and just slept all night. Bar was awesome and employees ( love you Kalyn!) were great and gave recommendations for tours and dining/ bars/ events. Such a beautiful property!”
“Just such a fun Bisbee place. It's not a luxury hotel but it has character. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the atmosphere is fantastic. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful.”
“We had quite an adventure in Bisbee! The Oliver Hose was very comfortable for us and our Coco. She loved the yard and we loved the bed and the speakeasy and the clawfoot tub. It’s fun to walk around the area, very picturesque, very comfortable with an easy going atmosphere.”
“Perfect location, easily walkable to all bars, restaurants and entertainment. The whole house is perfectly Bisbee and our room was the perfect mixture of spooky, comfort and charm. The staff were all amazing! Kalen was a sweetheart, mixing us up drinks and making us feel at home. And let’s not forget Uncle Randy! What a gem! I loved our morning chat over coffee. I will be back.”
“We celebrated my wife's 40th birthday at the Oliver House in Bisbee. The rooms were great and the atmosphere was beautiful. It is by far the best place you can stay in Bisbee. The bar had a great vibe and the bartenders were friendly and accomodating. The caregiver was excellent and super friendly. I could not have been happier with how this weekend turned out and I would recommend this place to anyone going to Bisbee.”
“We only stayed one night and didn’t partake of the amenities at the Oliver House. However, the room was very clean and organized. The decor and upgrades added comfort while maintaining the historical ambiance. The bed was comfortable but it would have been nice to have some pillow choices.”
