We booked a room at the oliver house on a whim, to be pleasantly surprised. The location is unique, comfy, and has local historical importance. I would definitely recommend booking a room at the oliver house to anybody who wants to experience the best of what bisbee has to offer.

The staff was very friendly. Our room was comfortable. Great pillows, a comfy bed and a sink. We shared the bathrooms. The breakfast was underwhelming, especially since it’s a bed and breakfast. There was some cereal, juices, milk and almond milk, instant oatmeal and packaged pastries. I would have liked some cooked offerings, or protein like boiled eggs. There are a few things that need to be fixed. The new owners haven’t been there long, and are fixing up the place. It’s a good place to stay and is going to get better. Aside from that, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Charming place - very relaxed; within walking distance to restaurants. Only negative was that the smoke detector decided to chirp in the middle of the night.

I was disappointed there is no continental breakfast. All the b&bs we have been to they had prepared a breakfast at a time that was convenient. There is only little box in the cereal milk orange juice and to the yogurt along with coffee. The room would have been a lot nicer if there were some historic pictures of bisbee. And it would have been very nice if there would have been some magazines on bisbee or just some reading. Overall the room was was fine the bed was very comfortable.

Stayed in room 13, Unfortunately no spirits visited, could be due to the festivities goin on, too much commotion for them. Staff were great, very personable and welcoming. Facilities are great giving the building is 118 years old. Town was awesome, great food and shops, all within walking distance. It’s Bisbee so there is a lot of uphill. Definitely planning on another weekend getaway. To the caretaker, thank you for the hospitality, had a great time chatting on the porch.

We loved the claw foot bath tub and caretaker and his dog were both very friendly. He greeted us warmly as we arrived and was super sweet about us being late checking in. The room was comfy and we were able to rest up. The house is charming and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was nice and light. Located close to all the good historic places we wanted to see. Thanks for agreat time and see you soon!!

Listen, this place is awesome if you are looking for a fun place to stay in Bisbee. It’s old, rooms are noisy and sparse. You can hear everything, all night long. Again, great spot for FUN but don’t plan on sleeping or any extras. More of a hostel than hotel. GREAT LOCATION!

Property captured the "Old Bisbee" vibe and is well run and very clean! Our Room 12 could use a few more flat surfaces, e.g. tables, shelves, dresser. Maybe something above the head of the bed or bedside tables for a lamp! Breakfast OK, but minimal. Maybe some more healthy choices???
