You have a great location. Your advertising should let potential guests know that they will be sharing shower facilities. This property is comparable to a youth hostel.

I booked a last minute stay at Buffalo Guess house, didn’t expect it to be soooo nice, a lovely historical place , that has ever thing you need and makes you feel you are that special guest treated like a VIP that spend the night at your friends cozy house. 3 min drive from Downtown Buffalo, countless restaurants to explore,, Harbor walk, Seneca Creek Casino 6 min drive.. great breakfast every morning with scrambled eggs that Really taste like eggs, fresh coffee, cinnamon rolls, toast, the cleanest sheets I have ever slept on,(and I travel quite often),Free parking right outside, and felt safe parking our rental at night. Safe and quiet neighborhood.The whole experience was amazing. The beds were soo comfortable I’d like to find out the mattresses the use.. It was my 1st experience in an BnB, and I ended up booking a second night.And would definitely book it again.Thank you Maria for excellent customer service.And thank you Wes for a warm welcoming. If you plan on booking this lovely place, keep in mind they have some rooms in first floor, and some in second floor (if any case of knee problems to be considered).

Unique stay

Very close to downtown. Nothing too fancy but very clean and unique! Easy check in and check out! You do need to climb stairs to get to the rooms. Hostess was very friendly and helpful!

A Comfy and Friendly Home Away From Home

Buffalo Guesthouse was a perfect place for me as a solo woman. I needed a 'home' away from home for a night and this was it, although on first glance i was a tiny bit doubtful. I had neglected to follow all the directions so I didn't realize that my entry code was in my texts which I hadn't checked so be sure to check for that before you arrive. The hotel itself isn't fancy, but the care to the details of hospitality is first class. The staff is gracious and caring. I will definitely return when I need a 'home' for a night or two in Buffalo.

We were taken by surprise that there were only shared showers with a tiny sink and toilet in the room, and would not have booked had we known that. There is also only street parking. That being said, the staff were very friendly, the breakfast was homemade and delicious, and the communal dining setup allowed us to meet some interesting people.

We loved our stay! So cozy, and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. So clean and lovely. That bed was one of the most comfortable anywhere I’ve stayed. Walkable to cool restaurants and bars. The beautiful young lady at the front desk even helped with our bags. Unfortunately I left my medicine and the man made sure those meds were sent to our next stop! I would never stay anywhere else in Buffalo.
