Zelda Dearest

Loved how small and boutique it was. We rarely saw another guest. My only suggestion would be maybe more protein options for breakfast and maybe a few bar snacks in the evening.

I love that the hotel is several buildings that I was familiar with before renovations and I'm so glad to see that they were saved. The courtyard was beautiful. The room was nice. The breakfast was terrible. I've had better breakfasts at Hampton Inn. There were egg bites that I've seen at Aldi's. Which would be fine if they were any good. The breakfast room was so pleasant. But the coffee was just ok. I noticed that most people went out for breakfast since there was no one there.

Wonderful location near the back end of town, right around the corner from the Orange Peel & easy access to restaurants, shopping and nightlife. Thoughtful interior design, comfortable & spacious rooms spread out over four historic properties at the sight, lovely bed! Cool bar and live music one evening while we were there. Breakfast was sub par for a property like this, especially with the plethora of great bakeries and restaurants nearby! Also, the coffee was not good- again a misfire with all the great coffee roasters nearby!

Great location in downtown Asheville - many bars and restaurants walkable. Welcoming and friendly staff, lovely room for breakfast and a good offering with baked goods, egg bakes, overnight oats, yogurt and fresh fruit - endless supply of fresh coffee!

Awesome experience. 10 of 10 for service, room, value, location....

Exceeded expectations for our stay. Personable staff shared their story and experiences of the unique property with us. Highly recommend and will definitely stay there again next trip to Asheville.

This is a beautiful property with amazing staff! Our Darling Heart Suite was spacious and well-appointed, with a nice private patio and a large shower. Jeff and Jake were dedicated to making our stay wonderful. We had drinks at the lovely bar one night, which was made even better by the gracious bartender, Thistle. All told, just a really enjoyable experience.

Room was ideal EXCEPT FOR THE WATER PRESSURE IN ROOM 104! If this is improved stay would have been perfect. Also remember FREE PARKING!

Spacious room, convenient breakfast in the morning, and a nice patio to hang out on at night. It's more "bed-and-breakfast" than "hotel", in a good way.

Pleasant

The facility and its location in downtown Asheville was fantastic.

We loved the Paradise Suite. Beautifully decorated, very quiet bedroom, private front porch. Using an app to pay for parking was not pleasant. It would be much easier to just bill it to the room.

Exceptional

Great location in walking distance to many downtown restaurants and galleries. Beautifully renovated group of buildings, with nice size suites, and all modern hotel conveniences without being a big faceless hotel. Very friendly helpful staff. Be sure to ask the staff about exactly how parking works and what to do if you get a notice from the parking management company. The parking is conveniently located right in front of the hotel, but unfortunately managed by a remote parking company "Air garage" that is either dreadfully incompetent (or possibly dishonest) in its operations....couldn't really determine. Hotel management is aware of the problem and trying to manage it.

Our accommodation was very spacious having a living room, separate bedroom with a king bed, and large bathroom. Unfortunately, the sofa sleeper in the living room was not comfortable, which we needed to use for the first night due to a maintenance issue in the bedroom. Thankfully, the issue was resolved the next day. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking is available on site but you may have to pay for it (unless it’s included in your booking fee.) There is a small bar/lounge area that is quaint and the mixologist does a fine job serving up your favorite Flapper era beverage. Unfortunately, the breakfast options for us (gluten-free) were marginal. If you like a continental type breakfast, you’ll enjoy it. Overall, a unique experience at Zelda Dearest.

Our room was beautiful and huge. If there was a drawback, it would be that our room was loud. This is to be expected in an old house so it didn’t bother us too much. We were directly above the bar/ restaurant area and you could hear people talking outside our door after getting home late at night. Maybe request one of the other two houses if planning to stay here. Overall, it didn’t bother us and the place was great.

Boring hotel

The location was great. The room was very comfortable and clean. Boring hotel

Zelda Dearest is the perfect stay in Asheville. Truly a warm and welcoming team and the beautiful property make this a place we keep coming back to. We have the best memories staying here. All the rooms are unique and so comfortable. No trip here is long enough.
