“We loved our weekend stay at Casa Iglesia on the hottest weekend ever in Santa Barbara. The room was very clean and tastefully decorated. Great location to State Street, but far enough away from any noise. It’s a very quiet and peaceful location. The key code entry is very easy. We will definitely be returning and look forward to our next visit.”

“We stayed at Casa Iglesia last night, and it was a fantastic five-star boutique hotel experience from start to finish. You can tell the property is very new, and everything was immaculate. ​The room was surprisingly spacious and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, including a mini-fridge and microwave. The bathroom amenities genuinely set it apart—the bidet with a heated seat was a great touch, and the rain shower head was incredible. ​Beyond the room itself, the hospitality stood out. The team’s communication was consistently prompt and helpful. We arrived in Santa Barbara earlier than anticipated, and they seamlessly accommodated an early check-in for us without any hassle. ​Spotless, well-appointed, and top-tier service. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santa Barbara.”
