Not a thing

Friendly staff, great breakfast, close to port, Aaron always goes above and beyond! It's quaint and comfortable.

We like it just the way it is and wouldn't change a thing.

This is the second time my daughter and I spend an overnight stay at the Mansion on 17th Street. We like the location, the decor, and the breakfast is simply the best. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and check-in and check-out is easy. We especially liked not having to check out until noon.

Lot’s of stairs.

Locate is the best for walking to many downtown areas. The rooms are comfy and beautiful. The staff is amazingly friendly and welcoming. The cook to order breakfast is delicious. It is the best pre cruise stay.

Quaint, historic home. Staff was exceptional. Happy hour was fun and breakfast was delicious.

A bit hot due to being an old building but other than that it was a nice stay

The ONLY downfall is something that cannot be controlled, the stairs as the only option. It wasn’t enough to hinder a future visit by any means but it can be difficult to carry luggage up flights of stairs.

Everything is so lovely! There is so much character within the mansion. Staff are wonderful, breakfast cooked to order. Loved it!

I could not have dreamed up a more perfect place to enjoy Galveston. The mansion is gorgeous, down to the finest details. Breakfast was a delicious, intimate affair; there are only seven rooms, so the breakfast room has seven tables; I had the avocado toast and my husband had the Quiche Lorraine. Everything was divine, including the coffee. Cocktail hour was delightful, too; our hostess made cocktails to order and regaled us with Galveston history and recommendations for dinner. Our room had a peaceful, private balcony overlooking the neighborhood full of jaw-dropping Victorian homes. We were a short walk to the Strand with all its shopping and dining. It was an absolute oasis and I can't wait to go back!

Here I found nothing but perfection. The service is extraordinary, the house is beautiful, and the neighborhood is a gem. Aaron is an extraordinary person who was attentive to our needs; his recommendations exceeded our expectations. He also took us on a magnificent tour; my husband and I enjoyed one of the most beautiful sunsets in recent memory. Discovering Galveston and the interesting stories of ghosts and pirates with Aaron was a treasure. He is an extraordinary photographer.. Thank you for making this celebratory trip a memorable one.

The hotel totally blew us away upon arrival. Steeped in history and a knowledgeable Concierge (Aaron) who can tell you it all. The rooms were magnificent, again steeped in history. Great comfortable bed and very clean room. Breakfast was amazing, cooked fresh when ordered from a menu. Location to the The Strand was within easy walking distance and a short car journey to the Port. Ideal place to stay if travelling around or pre/post Cruise. Staff were all super friendly. Loved the informal get together at 4pm with other guests. We were all from a number of different places. Would stay here again without a shadow of a doubt. Communication via WhatsApp/Booking.com before the stay was great too.

STAIRS! I was put on the 3rd floor and had to take my luggage up the stairs and back down again. There are stairs in front of the house and in the house. It’s an old house, but the 3rd floor with heavy luggage is not my idea of a nice stay.

Beautiful old home that was well decorated.

Couldn’t find anything I didn’t like

A beautiful property recommended for anyone if you like a laid-back atmosphere you will love this place. Staff is wonderful and very informative about the history.

Yes, it is an old house, so some amenities are dated and/or lacking compared to a newer place.

Great location and cool historic house with a good breakfast.

It could not have been a better experience!

We liked the small room because it was not close to the other rooms. It felt more intimate. The air conditioning was easy to adjust. The separate "tower" fan with cool air was a bonus. We really enjoyed the breakfast, especially the delicious coffee! And we loved being able to walk to the Strand and not having to look for a parking place. We will definitely return to stay in the future.
