Hassinger Daniels Guest House

Originally a mansion for a mining baron, the building fell into disrepair until an architect purchased and restored it. The mansion is absolutely beautiful and full of history and antiques. I shared the “Enchanting Turret” room with my older sister. The beds were far enough away that we were afforded ample privacy. The owner, Sheila, lives on the grounds and was a gracious host, offering both hospitality and valued advice about the area. On top of everything, it’s in a great area close to both restaurants and the airport. I give this establishment my highest recommendation.

It was obviously a grand place at one time. The present owners have areas accessible to guests that are shabbily decorated and in bad need of repair. Our room's television did not work. I called and emailed an never got a response. The hairdriyer was just sitting on a shelf with the wall holder attached and the screws by it. It could definitely be upkept better. The furniture was cheap looking and old. All in all, though. It was a unique place and we would probably stay again in the future.

I'm glad that I read reviews before booking so I knew (more or less) what to expect. We were traveling for work and really just needed a couple of beds and a bathroom that was reasonably private, comfortable, and affordable for a night. There was a clear glass window from the bathroom to the bedroom space which was a bit awkward traveling with work associates, but there were a couple of "public" bathrooms in the mansion that we were able to use as needed. There is no front desk or staff around which was fine with us. We actually happened to be the only guests the night we stayed which made the experience a little extra creepy and cool. Though the Bed & Breakfast days of this house are a thing of the past, there were a lot of interesting artifacts, articles, and random historic information throughout the house that enhanced our brief stay. Despite being in town on a sleepy Monday night, we found things to do within walking distance of the home (shout-out to The Nick for drinks, entertainment, and pool, and Walter's delicious food) and fully enjoyed our one night in Birmingham. We found the Hassinger Daniels Guest House very accommodating and affordable for our needs - price for our double occupancy room was $20 less than the least expensive hotel for the same night and far more interesting and enjoyable. :) We love a well-appointed historic bed & breakfast when we're looking for that extra love and attention, but this stripped down version was excellent, too! :)

A Victorian Wonder It was like a step back in time. Such an exquisite mansion nestled in a trendy section of Birmingham. Definitely one of my best stays away from home with everything you need while not bothered by any undesirable guests. It’s a beautiful property with surrounding restaurants all within a 2 block walk. Amazing price for what you get. I definitely recommend the Hassinger Daniels guesthouse.

We stayed in the Turret room and it was so cool! Two king-sized beds that were super comfy. The bed in the turret room was semi-private and the other one had a view of a tv. The bathroom was clean and nice. (But FYI there's a window to the room and you can see the person using the toilet from the room) It was nice to have access to the downstairs kitchen. We loved the neighborhood and how you could walk around to places to eat. There's a Chick-fil-A right beside the house, as well as many other local eateries within walking distance. Yet it was plenty quiet on a Saturday. I would have appreciated some decaf coffee as an option for the coffee maker downstairs. It was a tad confusing about where to park b/c the directions told us to go through the CFA parking lot to a back lot, and the CFA parking lot was closed. But since it was a Sat. we were able to park in front of the house for free. I think during the week you have to pay to park out front. Overall a BEAUTIFUL home and we really enjoyed our stay and have been recommending it to everyone!

Perfect stay It was really nice wish we could stay for longer, we loved our room and the whole house.
