Top Buffalo Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Richardson Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible experience everytime I stay."

Charming 3-bedroom upper unit home

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about the weekend was great. We had some initial concern about the address of the property, as it did not seem to be the same as what I had seen in the listing, but Patrice cleared up any confusion with a quick response to our email.I would definitely stay here again!David"

The Edward Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Edward is a hidden gem in the Elmwood area of Buffalo. The room was large and spacious. It had nice amenities as well, including an area off the lobby for people to gather. Check in was super easy and the staff checked in every day with us to make sure we had everything we needed. There are only 6 parking spots on site, but on street parking was available. Very lovely - would definitely stay there again!"

Stunning Elmwood Village Lower

10/10 Excellent

"We went to Buffalo for my son's wedding. This was the perfect place for us. Very spacious, comfortable couches, new kitchen and bathroom, great little space for shoes and coats and a great porch where we enjoyed coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night. There's a little coffee bar and there were cold bottles of water in the fridge waiting for us. We also appreciated how very clean it was. It's near a large park where my son went jogging and it's a short walk on a sidewalked street to dollar general in case you need to get some supplies. Would absolutely stay here again."

Vaulted Loft in Historic Bank on Hertel King Bed + walk to shops

4/10 Poor

"We had an issue with the toilet not working properly and sent the owner a message. The toilet would only flush if it was aggressively plunged, and based on what was coming up there was an obvious clog from before. We DIDN’T HEAR BACK FROM THE OWNER UNTIL AFTER WE LEFT. I would have appreciated knowing when I booked the property that the owner would be unreachable. The space is okay, some things need updating, it’s definitely smaller than it looks and would be tight to have more than 2 people staying there and sharing the kind bed. The blankets on the couch did not smell good, the towels were stained, and the coffee pods for the Keurig were expired. We wouldn’t stay here again."

Heart of Hertel Prime Location in Buffalo with A/C and Parking!!!

10/10 Excellent

"The house is a classic North Park Buffalo house. It’s beautifully appointed and upgraded with modern appliances and internet, etc. It’s in immaculate condition with thoughtful amenities. We would recommend it highly and rent it again in the future."

Entire apt near Olmstead Delaware park, North Buffalo, Zoo, UB & 2 Hosp.

10/10 Excellent

"Carlos was a great host who was available to us all the time. He addressed all of our concerns right away and was very welcoming. House was clean specious and a lots of extras were provided to us to make our stay enjoyable."

Between boating on Hoyt Lake, seeing an open-air play and exploring Rumsey Forest, it is easy to forget that this park is located in the heart of downtown Buffalo.
