The Historic Mansion Hotel - New Haven

This place is perfect for me! I love the free wi-fi, tv, and air conditioning. The staff even helped with my wake-up call during my first stay, nice.

A Quirky Stay with Warm Hospitality

The cozy decor and unique art pieces created a good ambiance. Don't miss the nearby Frank Pepe Pizzeria for a delicious meal. It's a history lover's treasure!

wonderful historical charm with unique handmade art by the owner

Loved the unique style of the Historic Mansion.

Historic architecture, eclectic art collection, unique room keys

A lot could be improved here!!! Maintenance issues, such as peeling paint and poor cleanliness, detract from the charm. Wi-Fi intermittently fails!!! An update on bathroom fixtures would also be appreciated!!!

parking was a bit tricky. but the artwork all around was so fascinating and really added character! the owner was like a grandparent, serving coffee ☕️ with a smile! plus, the four-poster bed was a delight, really helped me sleep well.

great stay with minor quirks

The host was gracious. The historic ambiance of the house sets it apart. You can feel the charm in every corner! We enjoyed a quiet night's sleep in ournice and neat room. The easy access to parking was a huge plus, great to explore freely.

The lack of clear signage made it a bit tricky to find the entrance at first.

I loved staying in a place with such rich history and unique art. The excellent four-poster bed.

We really enjoyed the fascinating history shared by the owner. It had the best toppings fresh out of the oven.

My wife says that the cleanliness could be greatly improved, especially for families with little ones. It's essential to have a pristine environment for peace of mind.

Quirky art collection fills the common spaces, giving a rich historical vibe that's hard to replicate. The neighborhood has a charming small square that feels serene, perfect for a morning stroll before heading out to explore the city.

The hotel shows its age with multiple maintenance issues, such as peeling paint and inconsistent plumbing. Some rooms, while unique, present cleanliness concerns, as linens had stains and the presence of musty odors were notable. The setup could feel like wandering through someone's cluttered home, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. The plumbing wasn't always reliable, and I experienced a bathroom light bulb that was out. A late check-in at 6 PM isn't ideal when you want to start your evening plans early, though it's helpful to leave luggage temporarily.

Unique art and a comfy four-poster bed. The outside needs some tidying up. Parking is a bit tricky too.

Great hospitality vibes

I spent 3 nights in a cute Beautiful Queen Room and the owner was super friendly! He gave a quick history tour of the place, actually kinda nice. Bummer that the internet was spotty. Good experience!

The charming old-fashioned decor was like stepping back in time, with warm colors and beautiful artwork everywhere, especially the pieces by Nick's wife. I felt very comfortable wandering around the common areas, soaking in the history.

Signage to locate the mansion was lacking.

The room was clean and the bed surprisingly comfortable, offering a good night's sleep. The nearby coffee shop across the street served excellent coffee. The location was quiet, with easy access to local attractions and dining options.

Parking can be challenging.

We had a lovely stay at The Historic Mansion. The owner, Nick, was friendly and shared fascinating stories about the history of the home. The architecture was excellent, with high ceilings and spacious rooms. Despite some minor wear and tear, the rooms werenice and neat. The location was convenient, with attractions like Yale and great restaurants just a short walk away. I would highly recommend this unique and charming place to stay in New Haven.

The area was peaceful and convenient for exploring the nearby city center. Despite some minor inconveniences, we had a comfortable experience overall. We would consider staying again and recommending to others.
