Great place to stay

Nice stay at this bed and breakfast in Gainesville. Really cute on the outside and nice on the inside. Good last minute booking for a night on the way back from a business trip. Only a few things to comment on. First was that breakfast was just average. Usually when we’ve stayed at bed and breakfasts where breakfast is included, it’s a homemade warm breakfast (eggs, quiches, several pastries etc), whereas this was just a continental with fruit, coffee/tea, and store bought breakfast items like bagels, cold pastries, frozen wraps, etc. Also just something to note is the AC can’t be lowered past 73 (or 74 I can’t remember) and it’s for the whole floor not each room. So if you like to control your own AC this is definitely something to make note of! Also we never saw any staff except one girl (very nice though) who was there picking up after breakfast, never saw anyone else but they did leave a number to contact if anything was needed. All in all it was a good stay for a night and was super cute, just a few things we wanted to note!

Very comfortable and good location, we would stay again when next in town.

This was one of the most accommodating B&Bs we’ve stayed at. We checked in late, but the codes to get into the house and our room were texted mid-day. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for walking to dinner. Breakfast was set up with an assortment of bagels, fruit, hard boiled eggs, meat and cheeses. We truly enjoyed our stay at Camelia Rose.

Nice building. Greeter was a charming lady who was outstanding; considerate and concerned. We were surprised that no real breakfast was offered. We have stayed at b&b’s around the world and until now not been offered a DIY basic selection for breakfast and no cooked option. It seems to be a case of remote owners with no real interest any more. Shame, it was not like this when we last visited.

Wonderful property. It’s historic and the aesthetic is great. Staff are kind. The food and drinks are great. The porch Kitty was so sweet

Had a lovely stay! Came to Gainesville to look at UF with my daughter. So glad we came across this gem!

Beautiful place to stay.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay. Such a cute place and we felt right at home. Definitely would recommend this Inn.

Great place! Loved it. So comfortable and welcoming!

Second year staying here and I think the B&B is just beautiful. It is a true hidden treasure and I am so happy I found it. First time being greeted when we arrived because it was raining otherwise all information given we get in and around with no issues. Thank you

It's a beautiful place, very clean, quiet, and welcoming

Comfortable bed, nice neighborhood,

Beautiful place! I can tell how much thought the owner put into details. Which is why I was surprised by one small thing. The large window had room darkening curtains to close over the blinds but the smaller window right above the bed did not. Thankfully I always have a sleep mask in my travel bag since I wanted to sleep in.

We liked that the property is conveniently located close to the downtown area. It is a beautiful old house turned into a B&B. The only downside was that we had a heck of a time trying to find a thermostat to control the air in the room (the Camellia Room). When I called maintenance they informed me the thermostat was in the Business Center right outside of the room. The problem with this is that there is a sign saying you can use the Business Center "anytime". Even though it didn't happen that means someone could be outside of Room 10 (Camellia Room) at any time of the day or night. They need to post hours so whoever is in Room 10 can get some sleep during the night if push comes to shove. Like I said, it didn't happen, but the potential is there.

Beautiful, quiet, and memorable.

We felt like we were home, but even better! It really was perfect! Next time we come up for a UF gymnastics meet, we know where we’ll be staying!

Staff was friendly, check-in was very simple and the communication was very good. The bed was comfortable. Our reason for an average rating would be the quality of the breakfast and we also had issues with our TV in the room until I tried several troubleshooting things. We would likely try something else the next time we are in Gainesville, but would still recommend this place to anyone if the location/price is right and the things mentioned above are inconsequential.

Quite clean comfortable friendly staff great stay

Such a charming B&B. Clean, great linens and nice touches like robes and additional shower heads. Stayed in the Stardust Room and loved sitting on the little porch. Place was close to downtown and can walk to restaurants. Would definitely come here again.

The only place to stay in Gainesville! First class. Beautiful, quaint, cozy!!

Nicely updated house close to downtown restaurants.

I will absolutely stay here again! The rooms were amazing- super cozy and very comfortable- the breakfast was beautiful and there were pretty places to sit inside and outside! Easy to access and walking distance to great restaurants. If I could rate above 5 stars I would!

Beautiful property, very quaint and very close to restaurants.

Our “go to” in Gainesville

Very friendly!!

This place was very cute and it felt like we stepped into a movie set!

So relaxing and comfortable. Used codes to unlock doors, didn’t have to deal with checking in/out. Nice breakfast, snack, and drink supply. Had a fireplace in my room with was so nice. Very comfortable bed. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Breakfast was disappointing; lack of housekeeping also disappointing.

We really liked the house and room, so authentic and well kept. Pleasant stay and so many beautiful homes to look at in the neighborhood.

Attention at breakfast could have been better as clean dishes ran out, silverware ran out and some food ran out. Fireplace in our room didn’t work and wasn’t fixed.

It was a lovely stay. The staff went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were accommodated for. We loved the Victorian Charm of the place. It was like staying at my grandmother’s home. Would definitely stay again.
