From the minute we stepped in the front door and our final departure we had the most wonderful time at the Julian Gold Rush Hotel. Staff was great, friendly, helpful, outstanding breakfast, great to have gathering areas to meet and get to know other guests, no TV, felt we were back in the gold rush days. Will be back.

The Julian Gold Rush Hotel is charming and authentic, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes it a pleasure to stay. Itâs 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.
We've stayed here before. I love the nostalgia of this hotel. It takes you waaaayyy back. No TVs is a plus. It keeps the kids off technology. We enjoyed the time playing board games and reading books.
Room had no contiguous walls. Sweet but of course tiny bathroom and insufficient lights...the usual in older places. But people actually talked to one another in lobby and played games, hung out in garden. Sweet.
