Nice place to stay right now they’re working construction on the opposite side of the street so be prepared to hear beeping noises at 6 AM Monday through Friday. Also stairs are very creaky. I know it’s an old house but everybody would know if you’re coming or going because it is extremely loud and does not seem safe.

A lovely stay in the heart of town, walking distance to most attractions. Bikes are provided for rides, Greenbelt path is blocks away. A/C excellent on day there was a heat wave and an umbrella was by the door on a day that had rain. The property was well kept. So nice to see a historic home repurposed as a guest house.

Absolutely loved our stay at the BGH! Our only complaint? We only stayed one night and couldn’t fully enjoy the room (Treetop Suite) or amenities (cruiser bikes). So happy we found this little oasis in Boise and will definitely stay again if we have the chance. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Find a reason to go through Boise and stay here!!

The Boise Guest House is our goto place to stay when we come to Boise for an event. It's always quiet, and there's a small backyard with tables and chairs to sit in. Checking in is always easy.

We just had an amazing 3-night stay. Arrived at noon and called the number on the door to ask if we could drop our bags in the hallway, before 3pm check-in. Daniel said our room was ready and let us in early. Also let us drop our bags in the laundry room for a few hours after checkout. They provided extra propane for the BBQ and fire pit. Free bicycles that we used 4 times. Two nice backpacks that we used to go shopping at Albertsons with, via the bikes. Full kitchen setup. Perfect location to walk to anything downtown. We biked to Albertsons Stadium for a Boise State football game. Biked through Julia Davis Park and the Boise State campus. We highly recommend BGH and will be back!

Boise Guest House: Disappointing and Overpriced

Boise Guest House is an antiquated rooming house which might appear to be charming from the descriptions but is actually quite disappointing. Our $200+ room was listed as a 'story suite' but was actually a cramped single room with a bunch of random items--microwave, refrigerator, table--added to make it seem like more than just a room. None of the furniture matched and the chairs provided were the wrong height for the table. The 'bathroom' sink is tiny and actually located in the room, not in the bathroom. The building itself is over 100 years old and is many ways that's obvious. For example- the area for hanging clothes was not a closet but rather a small very dark curtain-shrouded niche next to the bed, about two feet in height, that was actually pretty scary looking. As it was so low it was necessary to bend way over to either place clothes there or retrieve them. Finally, they have a self check in system, which is convenient, but as a consequence, no staff are on the premises, making the whole experience a bit creepy. The Boise downtown Hyatt, a few blocks west, is a much better deal for $40 less--huge room, brand new facility with a pool and a great breakfast.

Such a lovely, historical home! Our room was sweet as could be! We got to hang out on the porch during a rainstorm complete with thunder and lightening which we don't experience in California often! We had a very interesting encounter with a passer-by too which overall added to the charm of porch living! My only drawback to the visit was that there was restoration painting going on and hazard roping off of the home with lead base paint. I get it, but we got some funny looks and comments while hanging out on the porch! Aside from that totally charming !!

We received check in instructions by email, and when we arrived, were able to immediately go into our room. The check in was extremely easy, and we loved the on-site parking. Once we got into our room, the first thing we saw was the TV with a fire crackling to welcome us. As we were coming in out of the cold, it was a welcome sight!! The room was perfectly clean and felt like home. The bed was soft and the pillows were comfortable. We enjoyed the kitchen (reheating leftovers! french press coffee!), having the option of the Roku for entertainment, and the clawfoot tub. It felt like a home-away-from-home! It was also within a 10 minute walk of downtown with lots of restaurants and bars to check out. The capitol, only a 5 minute walk away, was fun to see at night as we walked by.

New Home in Boise

I was really torn as to whether I left a review or not....because this place is AWESOME (and I don't want it to get uber popular and change from what it is right now!). I travel for a living, so your standard hotel has lost it's luster to me. This feels like you are staying at an amazing friends house. This is not a standard hotel, and don't expect anyone to check you in...however their attention to details is pretty spot on. The personal touches, good coffee, hot chocolate, and tea choices were refreshing. NO there isn't a gym, NO there isn't a Starbucks in the lobby, and NO there is no pool or hot tub. But if you are weary traveler looking for a slice of true hospitality...this is your jam.
