Stephen
The building is a very cozy, historic hotel with friendly and welcoming staff. The squeaky, antiquated floors add to the charm, but aren't for everyone. With a blend of modern deco while staying true to the 1924 bones, it's a beautiful place. Hope to stay again sometime soon.
Joe
This is a really neat, historic hotel. I wanted to love it, but was disappointed in several things. The hotel elevator is not working, which is okay, but it would have been nice for that to be clearly disclosed before booking. Same with the parking. There is a lot, but you have to walk up a good deal of stairs and none of the lights in the parking lot or up the stairs work, so it felt unsafe. The hotel has a cool esthetic if you like historical buildings, which we do. But there was a serious mold problem in the shower, which isn't about age. The batteries in the AC remote for the bedroom also weren't working, and we would have let someone know, but unfortunately didn't discover it until late at night. The TV was also having issues for any of the streaming services. They are all small things, but it was kind of a lot of small things that added up to make our stay less than stellar. It's a cool hotel, but they just need to work on some things.
Stephanie
Not the cleanest place very old some bathrooms are updated some are not. Great service and good location
gerald
Fantastic!
Mary
The facility seemed tired and worn. The elevator hasn’t been working since last year’s flood and could be a serious issue for people with mobility issues. The rooms need to be gone over and had gauges in the wall and worn paint fixed up. The sink stopper didn’t work. There was no welcome drink as promised, the staff was uninformed about restaurants to suggest and was not very friendly. The room size was good, beds comfy and location was good but it was an uninspired stay.
Joseph
There was no heat in the room except for a small plug in heater that couldn’t keep up because of the large gaps in the windows. The toilet had to be fixed twice after it wouldn’t fill back up after flushing. The hot water was luke warm at best. The elevator is permanently out of service. The front desk was too busy to be of much help. We were told we could check out a night early and receive a refund for that night because of the heat not working. Now we can’t get credit for that night because they won’t answer the phone. Do not stay here. It is about 50 years past its prime.
Jessica
Rooms were very cozy & well kept! Our bed was better than any hotel bed I’ve ever slept in, dare I say better than my own bed at home! Floors were very loud and creaky, but that is expected from a nearly 100 year old building. The robes were soft and cozy, and the other amenities were amazing! Complimentary cocktails and light bites every evening, plenty of lobby space to hang out by the fireplace, and the hotel is near so much to explore in downtown Asheville!! We absolutely loved our stay here and would definitely stay again!!
Maggie
The service and the room were good. Very clean. Very cold! Not enough heat for the room. No shampoo or conditioner. No heat in the really cold bathroom. No bathmat. The walls are thin so it was loud, but it's an old house so to be expected. Really affordable and lovely. Just wish it were warmer.

We loved the hotel, the quaintness , acorn, Kelly and Ezekiel were amazing , the happy hour was super, cheese , fruit, good wine crackers . The location was a little out of the way but over all, excellent experience, would recommend it 100%
Kristina
This was such a sweet, cozy building in a quiet neighborhood! Well maintained considering its age. The staff are just wonderful and helpful! You immediately feel at home when you walk in the door.
There are several places to sit outside, the perfect place to enjoy the “happy hour” they have for the guests every evening. There are a couple of restaurants within a couple of blocks of the hotel. If you are a walker, downtown is only about a mile away. We only used a Lyft once when we were going to a nice dinner downtown and didn’t want to be a little sweaty from the humid walk!
This is an old building, so the floors do creak as others have mentioned, but this isn’t some concrete block monolith chain hotel: this is a historical building. They have actual keys for your rooms. I don’t believe it is 100% accessible at this time because their original elevator system was damaged, so you will be bringing luggage up the stairs (that have perfectly soft and padded carpeting that was downright pleasant to walk on!). I would love to come back when they are doing their breakfasts again, as there is a lovely dining area. There is a sitting room with a piano and a fireplace just off of the main lobby that is a charming spot to gather with friends.
It’s so clean; they make sure you have a comfortable stay between the beds and the air conditioners and the plush robes. We had a suite that had a kitchenette, with a real coffeemaker and delicious coffee provided.
Will stay again!

Clean, but outdated property. No sound proofs , limited hours at front desk, no breakfast. Will not stay there again.
Thomas
The staff members were friendly and accommodating. We liked staying at a place that was built a century ago and kept up well. Little touches were appreciated, such as the light reception and hors d'oeurvres starting at 5:00. Coffee and tea were also available in the fireplace room off to the side. If you happen to stay in room 208, here are some things to consider: As the manager told us upon check-in, the bathtub can be a little tricky to get in and out of. It is a clawfoot tub a bit high off the floor. She graciously offered to move us to another room if we found it too challenging. We managed okay, but just be aware. Also, because of the weak wifi signal, TV reception (which runs on wifi) made the TV unusable. We would pick a program and it would play for maybe a minute before buffering for about a minute, then resume for about 30 seconds, then cut off completely. I'm guessing that the room was too far away from the wifi router. My laptop was also not particularly useful because of the weak wifi signal. Maybe a cheap mesh wifi extender would be helpful here (?). One final note: Upon arrival, it appeared to me that all six of the EV charging stations in the rear parking lot are Tesla Destination chargers (confirmed with the Tesla app). If you drive a non-Tesla EV like we do, I believe you would need a NACS to J1772 adapter, which we don't have. Of course, I do not guarantee any results, since I could not use the chargers myself.
Michele
Great check-in service. Nice that they offered drinks and food at 5, although our schedule was so that we weren’t around then. Nice place. Good neighborhood.
Carolyn
Appealing historic building - small kitchen area and bathroom but very clean and comfy. Fantastic staff
Tamara
We had a great one night stay at Princess Anne. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly! The rooms were bigger than expected with all the comforts of a chain hotel, but personal touches. We enjoyed the wine and charcuterie plate on the beautiful back porch. I highly recommend staying at Princess Anne!!

Wonderful historic hotel. Do miss their breakfast service. Hope it’s back soon.

The property in itself was absolutely fantastic, with an air of unique history about it. The front dest staff was incredible as were the accommodations. The wine and snack hour was great.
Acorn, who was the manager was awesome, and was great with all of the information and suggestions she gave. It was great hotel that i would definitely recommend anyone staying at.

We stayed at the Princess Anne before and it was such a fantastic experience - seriously one of the best we've ever had. We were excited to come back. But, it's not the same and for the price, we aren't sure it's worth it. Our first stay had gourmet chocolates on the pillows, a nespresso machine in the room, a mini split that allowed for the perfect room temp, a lavish cocktail hour with an incredible appetizer spread, and the most amazing breakfast. It wasn't a cheap room, but you got a good value and experience for the price. This stay had no chocolates, no breakfast (found out after we booked), broken elevator, a single glass of wine and shared small plate of cheese & 2 meats for \"wine hour,\" pricey but limited cocktail & beer offerings, regular mini coffee maker, and a boiling hot room with only a very small window unit that wasn't even set to max cool on an 80 degree day. Our room didn't cool off until about 4am. The staff... still lovely and kind (especially Jo). I hate knowing that we could have stayed elsewhere with more amenities for less, but we could have. Guess we will on our next trip since all the things that made a stay at the Princess Anne so special are gone. We are heartbroken over that.
Melissa
We had a wonderful stay at this charming, 100-year-old hotel! The building's historic character reminded me of visiting my grandmother’s home—warm, inviting, and full of old-world charm. We stayed in the pet-friendly suite, which was spotless and cozy, with an incredibly comfortable bed.
The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making our experience even better. However, there are a few things to keep in mind: the elevator was out of service during our stay, and being on the third floor, the stairs were a bit of a workout. Additionally, there were no vending machines or ice machines, so it felt more like renting an old apartment than a traditional hotel.
Despite these minor inconveniences, we truly enjoyed our stay. If you appreciate historic buildings and a homey atmosphere, this is a great place to stay!

Staff was nice. Unique older property with local coffee and free cocktail hour. Feels like you’re staying at your grandmas house, in a good way.
John
This is a unique old hotel. Great 2 room suite with kitchen. The staff was wonderfully helpful, bringing complimentary snack and drinks to our room when the happy hour didn't fit our schedule. This more than made up for little inconveniences of the older property (elevator not working & long wait for hot water). Loved it.
Christy
Second time staying at this property. Love the history of it and the small quaint feeling. Always welcoming and inviting. Quiet are with local restaurants nearby.
Carter
You’re going to get scammed here.
The hotel charged me $79 on the level II destination Tesla charger during the overnight stay. This is an outrageous amount and I am a well traveled EV driver.
Nancy
Great historic hotel
100 yr old historic site Spacious. Large new shower ,very comfortable bed and linensWe met nice people at Happy hour in front of the cozy fireplace The staff was so friendly and fun to talk toConvenient to a great neighborhood restaurant and a bakery for breakfast
Heather
Gorgeous historical hotel! SO comfortable and welcoming. Definitely would stay again.
Michelle
I really enjoyed the overall uniqueness of this hotel. Each room is decorated with its own personality. I stayed in 308. This room is very well furnished for a single night or multiple nights. The kitchenette was a welcome bonus for me after a long day of traveling. Having a place to enjoy my dinner that was not my bed felt more lije home than a hotel.
I found the bed to be very comfortable. The bathroom had essentials available if you forgot to bring things like shampoo, conditioner, or lotion.
I thought the towels were a bit rough & did not smell fresh. The shower curtain had a sour smell to it too.
The staff when i checked in was extremely helpful with dining suggestions, I am vegan. They were very friendly & knowledgeable of the area as well. My check out was simple & the staff was pleasant.

Charming spot close to downtown
Jeremiah was very helpful with check in and making sure we had everything we needed. The room was huge with a separate living room space, kitchen, and a large bathroom with a claw foot tub and several closets. The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. We will absolutely stay here again!
Alicia
Very nice!
Louis
this is a quaint old world establishment - no frills but everything well appointed. The drinks and nibblies at 5pm and breakfast included were a nice addition to the experience.
Fred
Lovely wine and charcuterie in the late afternoon and a very nice breakfast. The building is rather old and needs more in the way of maintenance, but it had its charms. The room was a suite, so quite large and comfortable.
The one real drawback was the slowest internet with damned near zero bandwidth. How slow? Slow enough that NEITHER of the two televisions (bedroom and 'living room') could stream the TV! We had our books.

Excellent stay
Beautiful bed and breakfast only a short walk to downtown Asheville. The breakfast every morning was so good, it exceed my expectations. Staff was very accommodating and helpful. There are Tesla chargers on site so that was a nice perk. I would definitely recommend anyone stay here when they visit Asheville.
Jesse
Old building with charm. Rooms are great. Staff very friendly. Breakfast a nice touch. Will stay here again.
Adina
Quirky, Charming and Comfortable
The Princess Anne was an absolutely delightful place to stay. Quirky, charming but comfortable and welcoming. Everything from the porches, the dining room to our suite was cozy and made you want to linger. It was also immaculate and the staff was warm and helpful. Shockingly it was also inexpensive. I don’t know how they do it!
Jennifer
It was a beautiful hotel in a lovely neighborhood. It was any easy walk or drive to downtown Asheville

Historic Place With Great Service
This place is 100 years old. If you are offended by an occasional creek in the old original wooden floors from the room above you then stay somewhere else. If you want a historic place with great service, awesome breakfast and walking distance to bakeries and dining, this is your place.
Ronald
Quite comfort
Beautiful comfortable suite in old inn
Thomas
Beautiful B&B with great free breakfast & wine!
Beautiful 100 year old house. Our suite was roomy & we had everything that we needed, including plush robes. The rate was very reasonable & included an excellent free breakfast every morning plus a glass of wine & a charcuterie plate @ 5PM! The only downside was that the house & grounds could use a little TLC. Regardless, we enjoyed our stay & plan to come back again.
Christian
The property has a vintage feel with updated interior and exterior, very calm and quiet, walking distance from shopping a bars, the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming! I plan to come back again next year.
Norma
Great Stay- too short!
The only reason I am not excellent all the way is because it wasn’t quite as “ antique-ee as I thought otherwise it was clean comfy and everyone was amazingly sweet! A good stay and the breakfast - perfect!

It is nestled in a quiet neighborhood just outside of the downtown area. An easy quick Uber ride to town. The staff was warm and welcoming. The breakfast and happy hour was wonderful.

So exciting they upgraded us to the Master Suite! Thanks Princess Anne!
Al
Pleasant & quiet.
Melissa
Comfortable accommodations (though if possible, ask for a room on the top floor as the floor squeaks something awful and you don't want to hear that overhead). Pretty good selection of breakfast choices and nice perk of the wine and appetizers in the early evening. Having a parking lot instead of street parking is nice as well. Staff was very friendly. Overall pleased with our stay.
Lynda T
Delicious breakfast choices! On street parking. Very helpful staff.
Irene
Two thumbs up!
Our first time staying at a historic B&B and it was a wonderful stay. Made to order breakfast was delicious and afternoon treats were fun surprise.
David
The property was listed as a certified historic structure. Great location. Happy Hour from 5-6 with wine and snacks was an excellent touch!
Maria
This was close to Omni for a conference, clean, nice staff, evening wine and snacks, and excellent breakfast included. Breakfast was menu item choices easily worth 15-20$ and not just a buffett of danishes like some places. Room was comfy and clean. Highly recommend. Great value!
Amy
Absolutely charming. What a delightful spot. Convenient location and well priced. Jenni was so sweet and I felt welcomed by the beverage and snacks.

Wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion
The Princess Anne is our celebratory birthday hotel. It is not inexpensive, but the location is less than a 20 minute walk to downtown, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the wine and charcuterie tray at 5 pm starts off a great evening, and thanks to our standing with Expedia, we had a $20 gift card to spend at the location. The tv in the bedroom wasn't working but we had one in the living area of the room, so it didn't matter. We had breakfast included, and they have tightened up on what is considered \"incuded\" since our last stay; for example, if you get juice in addition to the meal there is an extra charge. A minor inconvenience considering the overall room cost, but a change nevertheless.
Brandon
Beautiful property in a walkable neighborhood close to downtown.The rooms were comfortable, breakfast was delicious, and the staff was super accommodating. We're already planning a return trip.

Sheryl
Everything was wonderful from the room to the free breakfast!
Rebecca
I really enjoyed my room at this inn. They gave us an upgrade so we were in a small suite with a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom with a claw-foot tub. The hotel is historic and charming, so your expectations of a room here should be aligned with that. It’s not a brand new chain hotel with the latest decorating trends, it’s a charming older property with the types of quirks you would expect from something this age. I thought the breakfasts were excellent and it felt like a bed-and-breakfast from that aspect. It’s really close to downtown, but we ended up driving in most days instead of walking. You could definitely walk it though. Access to the Blue Ridge Parkway was very close by, too. Parking is plentiful here, and free. There was a lot in the back with and more parking on the street. I would definitely come back here. I think it’s an ideal place for a couple or a girls weekend.
Marissa
We stayed here for a night on our anniversary with our pup and they were so friendly, welcoming and accommodating! It’s a cute bed & breakfast vibe and feels very homey.
Dale
Lovely
Good service and really fantastic breakfasts. They also do a nightly wine and hors d'oeuvres service which we appreciated greatly.
Lauren
Lovely place. Just bring your own towels.
The location in itself is lovely. The building is beautiful and clean. The folks working at the location are lovely. The breakfast was delicious (and I’m picky!) You will have to drive or Uber downtown, otherwise it’s a 30-45 minute walk depending on where you’re going. It’s also not the most pleasant walk as you would have to cross busy, multi lane roads to get to downtown. It’s important to mention that there is a bakery, deli, and some other shop just a block or so away Incase downtown isn’t your thing and you’re looking for something quick, there are options. The neighborhood is quiet and I felt safe walking around. I
My only complaints are the following. The bed sunk in the middle, making it not the most comfortable. We were on the second floor and you could loudly hear every footstep the people above you took. (If you stay here just cross your finger the people above you are late sleepers, you’re early risers, or you bring ear plugs, which the hotel provides.) Next, all of the towels strongly smelt like mildew. Even after replacing them the next day, they still smelt terrible. Finally, in our bathroom, there was a rather large area of ceiling above the toilet the has bubbled from moisture. And can you guess what was around it? You got it, black mold.
Overall, I would stay again but only if I were on a top floor and brought my own towels.

Perfect historic hotel in Asheville!
If you are looking outside the mass brand hotels in Asheville, the Princess Anne hotel is the place to stay! This quaint historic hotel has 16 rooms that are super clean and the breakfast is amazing too! Acorn and Jenni were super helpful making my business stay amazing! Will definitely come back! Book early because this 16 room hotel books up months in advance!

Princess Anne is a great place to stay. It reminded me of my grandparents house, such charm. The staff are extremely friendly. Inside and out was very quiet and quaint.
Herbert
I recently took my family to the Princess Anne and cannot recommend this venue more highly. The facility is charming, historical, convenient, friendly staffing and extremely well maintained. The morning breakfast is more than adequate, friendly service and several options available. All in all this is a gem of a property and highly recommended for the traveler seeking a unique venue that is not cookie cutter.

There is really no place to begin but the front door! Absolutely one of the best Hotel experiences ever. There are bears in the area so be on the look out. Our little Jack Russell alerted us one night after an evening walk. Sure enough there was, in back by the trash cans, an enormous bear. Back to the wonderful staff. If the mountains have an effect on you then imagine how those who are imersed in such beauty all the time. My Hat is even off to the person or animal that tested the fire alarm on our first night visit at 4:00am the next morning..

It was quant enough for an historic building but the grounds were not very well kept outdoor. The manager reception was great. Many choices on the food selection and wine pairings and offerings were great.
The made to order breakfast was okay. Nothing special but still a treat for the visitors to have on location and included in the price.
I would recommend and stay there again if given a chance.

We had a great time staying at Princess Anne. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were gourmet. We stay at the PA whenever we’re in the Asheville area.

Nice quaint old building. I enjoyed the squeaky floors, until the person above walked around much of the night. Great breakfast and afternoon wine and hors d’oeuvres. Close enough to downtown that it could be walked in about 15 minutes. Highly recommended.
Elizabeth

Heather
We loved everything about hotel. From breakfast to happy hour everything was terrific!
Bonnie
Beautiful property. I had a master suite and it was more than enough room. Staff was amazing. Breakfast and Happy hour were good too. I would return and stay at this property again.
Anne
We loved our stay at Princess Anne and would highly recommend staying here to others. The hotel is a charming old building set in a residential neighborhood. There was a small parking lot as well as street parking. From the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out, we were treated like family. Our room was adorable...very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing and worth going back for. They also provided wine and appetizers in the late afternoon, which was a nice touch. I would say the Princess Anne does a great job with the little details....fresh flowers on the breakfast tables, bakery items for guests in the sitting room, caramels on the bed, etc. They really know how to host guests. We would love to go back!

Great place to stay!!!
I always look forward to staying at Princess Anne. The staff went out of their way to provide me with morning food to my fridge when I had to leave early each morning. The hotel location is safe and I love how well the hotel and rooms are kept. I will be back.

Old world charm close to everything in Asheville
This 1020's B&B could not be more lovely. The building, grounds, location, staff and special extras such as the included individually home made breakfast and late afternoon complementary charcuterie table with free wine or beer-everything was just perfect. Yes the floors creak a bit but that was no issue for us at all. Free plentiful parking on site. I would return to Asheville just to stay at the Princess Anne!
Ann
Very nice breakfast- staff friendly. Also a delicious Happy Hour spread.
William
You won’t want to leave !
Wonderful experience! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast menu is equal to the best in town! The rooms very spacious and quiet. Great location - close to downtown but no downtown or Hwy noise! A couple restaurants within easy walk! Will be back.

Our stay was perfect. We were in town for a wedding and the location of the hotel was walkable to the venue. The rooms are clean and huge, and the breakfast was delicious. The stall were so kind, and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and plan to come back when we're in Asheville again.
Richard
Very friendly staff, spacious suite, excellent reception in the afternoon and morning breakfast.
George
The Princess Anne was a charming B&B with comfortable rooms, great ambiance, and excellent breakfasts. Each afternoon, the wine and Hors d'oeuvres was a really nice touch. The staff was exceptional. The only con was that the Wi-Fi was slow and sometimes flaky.
