The Julian Gold Rush Hotel is charming and authentic, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes it a pleasure to stay. It’s located in the heart of Julian and within easy walking distance of all the shops and restaurants, which makes exploring the town incredibly convenient. The included breakfast is quite delicious and a wonderful way to start the day. While the rooms on the upper floors are on the smaller side, they add to the fun, cozy experience. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay here again.

From the moment we entered the Julian Gold Rush Hotel we were treated like family. The interior is warm and cozy with a stunning attention to detail. The room was quaint and comfortable. The parlor was breathtaking and open for the Hotel guests to freely mingle. The selection of board games and books was amazing. I would whole heartedly recommend a stay.

A wonderful stay!

The hotel is lovely and the staff was wonderful. The hotel was built in 1897, and it is apparent that the owners are invested in keeping it in good repair. The rate was reasonable, and the breakfast was delicious and healthy. We will definitely return.

Old fashion it is for sure! This place dates back to times where the bedside table was not invented, where to put your book, glasses, alarm and water bottle? I am rather skinny but would bet that some costumer don't fit in the shower... Other than this I enjoyed the served breakfast, nice!

This hotel is historic, established in 1897. No tv or telephone which made it a welcome escape from big city life. This bed and breakfast was extremely cozy and quiet, the best sleep I've had in a long time. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. A delicious, healthy breakfast of fruit, yogurt, granola,toast eggs and juice was top-notch! Thanks to the entire staff for our wonderful stay!
