Breakfast was wonderful. The hosts were very attentive and free beverages and snacks. The building itself has some flaws. Although it is beautiful, it needs some upkeep. Some clear water damage to the ceiling but overall a nice stay

Stepping into the Old North Side B&B feels like taking a beautiful journey back in time. The owner, Gary, is an absolute gentleman and an incredible host who makes you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. His passion for the early days of cinema shines through in every corner of the property. It is the perfect place to unwind, surrounded by history and unmatched hospitality. I cannot recommend it enough!

The host was welcoming. Beautiful late 1800s home. The breakfast presentation and variety were nice. It has several parking spaces with surveillance cameras. He has fresh baked goods, snacks, beverages, and ice available all the time. Movies galore to choose from. A piano to play and books to read. Accommodating with check-in and check-out times. The room had a smart TV, DVD/VHS player, hairdryer, and Wi-Fi. In my private bath, it was supplied with travel-size soap, shampoo, and full-size shampoo and conditioner. Towel presentation was nice, and so was the quality of the towels and washcloths. The bed and linens were comfortable. I stayed two nights. Everything was positive besides my room being very dusty. All the decor, wall decor, baseboards, and HVAC registers were covered in dust. I have severe allergies to dust. I didn't sleep well from being super itchy, and my sinuses from the dust, even though I took a variety of allergy meds. I found prescription meds on the sink vanity that was pushed up next to a decoration piece. Looked like it had been there a while. I did toss them. Be clear on the time you're wanting breakfast. Close to downtown. Uber was under $7, cheaper than paying for parking downtown. If I visit Indianapolis again, I would stay again if I knew the rooms were recently dusted.

This is the second time that I have stayed at the old Northside bed and breakfast. It is a very Charming place and each room has its own theme. I stayed in the Hollywood room. The only thing that I did not like is that this room has a crack running down the wall. Some people may not notice this because of all the decoration on that wall but I did notice it.

Breakfast was excellent and meeting some of the other people that stayed last night was also fun. I had a really nice conversation with the proprietor and with the other guests.

The immediate area is an older neighborhood but beyond a couple of blocks it deteriorates quickly. The quaint front entry is apparently for show as you enter the premises from a rear alley parking area. We arrived at the property and were given a brief tour by the proprietor. His highlight included showing us 3000+ DVD and VHS videos that we could use. We needed to schedule our breakfast time 24 hours in advance. Guest rooms can be locked from the inside but you cannot secure your belongings when you are not on the premises since there are no room keys.

My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend here. It was super cool staying in a historic home. The owner was very nice and gave us a tour of the home sharing it’s history. If you are a movie lover then you will love the hundreds (I’m not exaggerating) of movies you can borrow to enjoy in your room during your stay. The room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The shower had really nice water pressure with plenty of hot water. The host provided plenty of free bottles of water and soda in the shared fridge. He made several kinds of homemade cookies that were very yummy. The breakfast was very good offering a hot dish every morning along with cereal, toast, bagels, doughnuts, and even homemade banana nut bread! We really enjoyed our stay. I do want to say that Expedia says the Children’s Museum is walking distance. It is NOT. It is a very short drive and the museum has free parking if that is where you are planning to visit. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe to walk during the day. It is walkable to Massachusetts Avenue during the day where there are a lot of little shops and fantastic restaurants. But, as a person who is from Indianapolis, after dark it is not walkable but a very short drive (with plenty of parking) or Uber ride to Mass Ave and downtown Indianapolis. I highly recommend this BnB. My husband and I really enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again.

Beautiful Neighborhood

Old Northside Historical District, hence the name. Coffee, restaurants, bars, all within a mile or less walking distance. Parking behind the building.

It's a very old home (1880s) with creaking floors, a narrow staircase, etc., so if that kind of stuff is a bother, you might choose elsewhere. Otherwise, you'll enjoy your stay here, much more than a hotel in the downtown area.

Gary is a terrific host who likes to bake. The breakfasts are fantastic and he has homemade cookies to snack all day. You don't need to order dessert when you go out to eat.

He also has hundreds of movies to watch on the big-screen in your room (along with streaming services) if you choose to stay in or make it an early night. And he's an entertaining conversationalist.

Honestly, I felt like a boarder as much I did a hotel guest.
