Absolutely everything. Such a cute and detailed oriented hotel. Stunningly beautiful, modern, and clean. Amazing breakfast. Super friendly staff m

The huge king bed in the smallish room left no space for two side tables. So one person didn't have any type of end table for their book or glass of water. Compounded with no lamp on a table, the hotel missed an opportunity to find another way to ensure reading light for both occupants of the bed.

The Hotel is an unexpected gem in every way. It's tucked in location, but walkable to everything downtown. Right in the brew district, it is easy to find many activities all in walking distance. The rooms are stunning and the design team did a beautiful job capturing the spirit of Fitzgerald's decade.

The hotel seemed understaffed, and they ran out of the breakfast the first day after our arrival. We also had requested room bath towels and our trash emptied on our first day and we did not get serviced. We had to go to the front desk and had the receptionist get some towels

The hotel was incredible, and the room was impeccably designed. This is a unique property and one I would definitely return to for a visit.

The servicing of thr room was not great - we spent Monday to Friday there but the room was never cleaned, although they brought fresh towels and water when we asked.

The location and the roomwere very good . The while style of the place was quirky but stylish

Room and bathroom details were perfect. Great location. Off street parking (don’t forget to scan the QR code to pay for parking!). All of the employees were kind and helpful. Continental breakfast was a plus. Definitely on our stay again list!

An elevator to the third floor would be nice but with the building being older I get it.

Quiet and quaint place to stay in the city! Feels so luxurious! Staff is exceptional, rooms are so comfortable!

Beautiful and lovingly restored historic buildings in a prime location in Downtown AVL. The staff was attentive and hospitable. The decor and the room amenities are thoughtful and tasteful. Delicious local pastries. A great stay.

My stay at Hotel Zelda Dearest was absolutely wonderful! The attention to detail and commitment to quality made it a truly special experience. From the moment I arrived, I was charmed by the hotel’s exterior. The hotel is located in three renovated historic buildings, right next to the Biltmore Avenue. There are many good restaurants within short walking distance. The outdoor sitting area, surrounded by lush flowers and manicured bushes, felt like a secret garden. The attention to landscaping made the entire property feel elegant and inviting. The room’s decor was stunning—every element was carefully chosen and arranged with great taste, creating a beautiful and inviting atmosphere. Everything was impeccably clean, and the spacious bathroom felt like a spa retreat, complete with a sleek modern bathtub and luxurious Grown Alchemist skincare products. I especially appreciated the little touches that elevated the experience: the elegant electric kettle with a selection of high-quality teas, the beautiful matching cups, and the stylish napkins—all of which showed how much care goes into the guest experience. The bed was very comfortable, though I would have loved if the linens were made of cotton instead of polyester for an even cozier feel. Breakfast was a delight! The selection was both delicious and beautifully presented. We enjoyed freshly baked croissants with ham, cheese, and chocolate, moist berry cupcakes, and a heavenly blueberry pie. There were also cups of fresh berries, creamy overnight oats, and yogurt options—including sugar-free—alongside excellent coffee and tea. Overall, Hotel Zelda Dearest exceeded my expectations. The combination of beautiful design, cleanliness, and thoughtful amenities made my stay unforgettable. I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a refined and relaxing getaway!

We had a lovely stay at Zelda Dearest, it has a nice cozy B&B / guesthouse feel and is in a great location within easy walk of several craft breweries as well as all the bars and restaurants in the main town centre. Our room was immaculate, spacious and had a lovely bathroom, and also was totally silent at night. Breakfast was really nice too with an excellent selection of pastries including a couple of gluten free options which were delicious. Jake at the front desk was also very helpful in giving us recommendations for things to see and do in Asheville and around.

-- I wish I would have been asked if I needed help with luggage since there were steps that lead to the rom upon check-in. -- Breakfast was included and although croissants from a locale bakery and some homemade overnight oats were offered, it would have been lovely to have more gluten free options. -- Parking was possible on premise yet required a $12 charge purchased through an app.

-- Messages that were exchanged via text prior to arrival were courteous and helpful. -- The room was incredibly quiet and clean! -- The room size was spacious enough for one person. Too people could possibly feel cramped in! -- The bed was very comfortable!! -- The bathroom amenities were of high quality. -- The adjacent bar was lovely and the bartender Rose was kind, attentive and accommodating! -- The grounds were very well maintained and beautiful! -- Downtown Ashville was conveniently located in walking distance.

Can’t think of a thing.

A historic building with all the modern amenities you could ask for. The location is perfectly situated. An easy walk to anywhere downtown. The hotel rooms had everything you could possibly need. Amazing bathroom (great blow dryer for once), comfy beds & sheets, plenty of space to unpack. Even a large hand steamer if you need it. Snacks, fruit & waters for the taking. The staff was very communicative, accommodating and friendly.

The hotel was really nice, the decor and furnishings very well chosen and the property as a whole was exceptionally well maintained. It was pure delight to stay there and the breakfast buffet which was included in the price was delicious.

This hotel is beautiful and stylish and comfortable. I didn’t love that the check-in office was closed most of the time and had to call the number to check-in and then again to check out. Response time was slow, I texted for help with wifi and received a response 30 minutes later.

I expected more for the price.

I stayed in the place in winter, I think this will be a nice place for summer.
