We were ungraded to an inside room because they were somewhat empty and the storm Debby was going by that night. Very nice, clean room and very comfortable bed. Breakfast is included at the main floor restaurant with incredible food cooked to order. Well worth the extra money. Free parking was included in the parking structure behind the hotel. It is also located across the street from UVA hospital.

A charming historic property with thoughtful, engaging hosts. My room was just gorgeous, furnished with antiques and an incredibly comfortable bed. The bathroom was equipped w/ both a walk-in shower and a huge old-fashioned bathtub (a must for me). And the breakfast was beyond delicious, with choices, hot and cold, to suit every taste. I could not recommend this place more highly.

The dinsmore is a cute historic house that has been converted into a boutique hotel with a brunch restaurant. You get meals included in your reservation and I recommend eating at the restaurant—super tasty! Apparently has won awards for their Sunday brunch. The hotel has beautiful rooms that have old character and charm but are updated to modern standards. Be aware you do have to climb steps with your suitcases, it does not appear to be ada friendly which was not an issue for us but being that it is a converted old house it does not seem to have elevators or ramps to the upstairs room accommodations.

We enjoyed our short, 1 night stay at the Dinsmore. Great location, a short walk, close to restaurants and the University. Hotel is a historic building but well maintained, clean and modern. Great service, made us feel very warm and comfortable. A terrific restaurant and breakfast, we recommend it highly.

Considering the facts, the historical area (including the building for this inn), the hospitality, the breakfast, and the clean room---we couldn't find a better place and it also did not cost an arm or a leg! The price is pretty reasonable.

Beginning of the booking process to checking in was amazing, both Jake and Vanessa were very attentive and helpful. Vanessa checked us in and even helped carry my bag to the room. The room was spacious and and beautiful and I was excited to stay in this wonderful bed-and-breakfast. The breakfast was amazing and so was the service. I would definitely come here again.

This is a really cute property. The manager Jake was really helpful and assisted us in making brunch reservations at the Inn's restaurant. Our room was very large, clean and was beautifully decorated. We were in Room #1. The only downside was that the restaurant below our room was fairly loud. If you want to sleep in, it is not the place for you to stay.

It was our second time staying at the dinsmore inn. Very cute inn! Historic building with updated rooms and bathrooms give it a very quaint and comfortable feel. Breakfast is included at the farm bell kitchen and it’s delicious. It is a public restaurant so when you walk out of your room, there are people around from the restaurant and you could ever so slightly hear the restaurant noises from the room so bring a white noise machine if you are a light sleeper. Overall, would recommend staying here!

We had a great stay. The innkeeper is lovely and very attentive to your needs. The included breakfast is excellent! And, the dining area is beautiful and cozy. The room was clean and well appointed. The inn is close to UVA Health Center and the Charlottesville Mall - both are walkable. Would stay here again.

It’s definitely old with peeling paint and could use some new carpets. Television wasn’t working and no assistance was available. I feel I should have been compensated in some way. It would be nice to have coffee/ tea maker in room and an ice machine available. Bed was comfortable and manager helped with our luggage. Breakfast was okay nothing special but waitress was great!

I stayed one night for business. The staff was extremely accommodating and went out of their way to welcome me and facilitate my stay. The bed was a dream, so comfortable. The bathroom was a bit tight and might be a little difficult for a larger person to maneuver around the door. The sink was also half covered by the shelf above it. Really nice bath products! Bathroom floor could use a deep clean, but sink, toilet, and shower, were very clean. As mentioned on the website, this room (the Madison room), is directly up the stairs from the restaurant, so if you're a light sleeper, it could be hard to sleep in after 8am. Breakfast was ok, but the service was good. The amount of real maple syrup (for an extra charge) with my waffle was laughable. I actually laughed when I saw it. Very convenient to UVA hospital and UVA campus (grounds). Included garage parking is a bonus.

Highly recommend the Dinsmore Inn. The host was wonderful (excellent communication) and the room was lovely and super comfortable. Better than a BNB. Great location and easy access to visit wineries and fabulous restaurants. We loved the history of the Inn and they’ve done a great job honoring the history and yet adding appropriate modern conveniences and appeal. Breakfast was at their sister restaurant next door and was delicious, beautiful and featured great service. Housekeeping was great with super fast service. If you’re headed to Charlottesville, stay here. You won’t be disappointed.

The Dinsmore Inn was a step back in time to the days of Thomas Jefferson. It is old and shows the two centuries of use, but it's quaint and welcoming. Located between and within walking distance of UVA and the Historic Downtown Charlottesville Mall, it was a perfect location. Free parking and wonderful meals were quite the bonus.

This was my second stay. While good, it wasn’t as good as my first visit. TV was out for the weekend - we had planned to watch the British Open (no discount offered). Tub water was lukewarm, not hot. Patio - table top was rusted and the floor needed painting. The bathroom lights, shower lights, and fan should have separate switches - not all wired into one switch. Extra crispy bacon was rubbery and hard to chew - I think the bacon was cooked on a sheet and then cooked again in a microwave to fill my request. Stairway and hallway rugs could use a good shampooing. Customer service was great as usual - I just think management needs to focus on the little things that improve the customers’ experience.

Jul 2023

The 'period' feel of this historic structure, and the comfort were excellent. The breakfast was beyond unreal - extraordinary!! My one constructive criticism would be this: when I am tired and check into a premium room, and perhaps I want to access the news -TV streaming should be simple and quick. Turn on; press the channel number; and there is the programing, or the Guide. In the absence of that, as a poor alternative, at least printed instructions on how to navigate a screenful of unfamiliar apps, in order to get to core programing.
