Top Memphis Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hu. Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great birthday getaway Location was great and located safe and convenient for activities."

Newly renovated backhouse in the heart of Memphis' historic Evergreen District.

10/10 Excellent

"This was very convenient to Midtown. A short Uber drive away. As always, I had concerns about parking on the street, but this is a very nice neighborhood and our cars were fine parked on the generously wide street. The host was quickly responsive to messages. All in all, a nice stay in Memphis. I would recommend."

10/10 Excellent

"Thoughtfully decorated, clean, comfortable space. The beds were so comfortable and the area was very quiet at night. Liked that there was a driveway for our car rather than parking on the street. Conveniently located to many restaurants and attractions (Memphis has a great zoo) in the midtown area and easy access to areas of the city that are a little further out. We will definitely stay there again!"
