Hotel Zaza Houston Museum District

10/10 Excellent

"The Zaza is our home away from home anytime we wanna have a night or a weekend alone. This is the place we come to everyone’s friendly. It smells good. It has great vibes. The drinks and the food are always good. The shuttle service is pretty legit my favorite hotel in Houston by far."

Cheerful 3 bedroom bungalow, 10 min away from DT

10/10 Excellent

"This place is in a great location! We were in town for a conference downtown and it was perfect for us. The neighborhood was safe and the pictures do not do this home justice. The showers and bathrooms were spacious- beds extremely comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities! The host was quick to answer any questions we had along the way and we will certainly book this gem when we are in town again next month. while many of our colleagues booked hotels, we were much more at home by booking this rental- we were able to spend our evenings sitting on the porch or catching up in the backyard. Thank you for having us!"
