Zelda Dearest is the perfect stay in Asheville. Truly a warm and welcoming team and the beautiful property make this a place we keep coming back to. We have the best memories staying here. All the rooms are unique and so comfortable. No trip here is long enough.

Lovely unique hotel with spacious rooms, lovely breakfast and helpful staff. It is perfectly located to be able to walk to shops and restaurants, and less than a 10 minute drive to The Biltmore.

10/10 Exceptional

Close to the center of town by only a few blocks yet with a secluded and restful vibe. Great characterful rooms across multiple remodeled Victorian buildings made this a memorable stay. A cosy bar, great continental breakfasts and great local scene guidance add to a 10/10 experience. Most significantly while it is not staffed 24/7 the daytime staff could not have done more to help with grace and a warm smile. Probably some of the most professional, welcoming and genuinely interested staff I have ever come across in many hotel stays around the world. Can't wait to return

8/10 Very good

Overall, great stay. Breakfast was excellent - more than continental. Check in was a little clumsy as the ‘front’ desk is actually in a separate bldg and the clerk had to check 3 separate groups in at the same time and then walk us all to our bldgs and rooms. Seems like they need an additional person working the check in area during peak times (this was ~5pm).

The visit was awesome, the staff was helpful and non obtrusive. The room, grounds and common outside areas were gorgeous and the hotel is in a great location to home base and explore from. Breakfast bites were awesome and much appreciated. The free drink voucher at the bar was a great touch.

Lovely historic homes transformed into unique modern hotel rooms! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Walkable to so much of downtown restaurants, shops & breweries. Very clean with plenty of amenities. Breakfast included was delicious every day. Helpful staff. Nice outdoor seating area. We lived our stay in Asheville at Zelda Dearest!

Zelda Dearest felt like a cross between a hotel and a B&B, and we totally enjoyed our stay, Our room was one of the best we have ever experienced (I’m a room snob), and the breakfast was phenomenal (Vege Frittata, chocolate banana bread, blueberry muffins, biscuits and jam, overnight oats, berries, yogurt, OJ). I’ve done both, and I much preferred the self parking over the other hotels’ valet-only option. Depending on where your room is located, there can be a lot of stairs to traverse, same as it would be in a B&B. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The downtown location of this hotel is incredible - you can walk to restaurants, shops, and breweries. Parking was easy, the room was TO DIE for, the whole property is incredibly clean, tbe breakfast is delicious, there’s coffee/tea/water all the time, the patio between houses is super nice, the bed was super comfy and the bathroom was amazing. 15/10, literally cannot wait to go back.
