4.6 out of 5First time in B & B ....
March 30, 2013
We were celebrating our 35th anniversary and planned to return to Savannah. We had always stayed on Tybbe but this time wanted something different. So we decided to stay in the B & B. As I said earlier we had never stayed in a B&B before and didn't really know what to expect. I had read many on the reviews and got a mixed bag of opinions. After I booked we had several problems with scheduling vacation and work. I had to change our reservation 3 times but the staff took very good care of os and with no complaint to us. After we finally got that settled and had the Tomochichi room reserved I read more reviews. Some good and some not. Well I don't know where the ones that gave it a poor review stayed but our experince was wonderful. The breakfasts tasted good and presented beautifully. The staff was well informed about the area, helpful and so very friendly. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was friendly as well. He came in to eat while we were havinv our breakfast. I reccommend the Savannah Bed and Breakfast to anyone who wanted to see the beautiful city and historical buildings.
4.0 out of 5Adorable Cottage Rooms
February 08, 2013
My boyfriend and I stayed here for a night for our anniversary. We booked a cottage room, and loved it! The cottages are separated from the main house by a courtyard, which makes them more private. The cottage we booked also had balcony that overlooks the courtyard. We both loved the location. The building is in the historic district, which means everything is in walking distance, but it is not in a heavy tourist traffic area, so it was peaceful and quiet. The staff members were friendly and helpful, and breakfast was delicious (homemade banana bread french toast with thick cut bacon and fresh fruit). We plan to stay again in the near future!

4.6 out of 5Excellent Rooms & Location, But Skip Breakfast
January 15, 2013
We're new to B&Bs, having only stayed in three, but this was our favorite by far. We stayed in the Jasmine Room. You should be warned that this is right next door to the dining room/staff workrooms, so you can hear the staff working. That's okay, they're generally quiet, but a few times we could hear conversations through the wall/door behind the wardrobe (and I'm sure that they could hear us, too). Honestly, the room was big, and very nice, although the heat was a little odd. The bathroom heated up quite a bit more than the main room, so you might want to keep the door open except when it's in use. The pictures of it on the B&B's website are fairly accurate, unlike some other B&Bs. Location is prime, right in the middle of where you'd want to be. Right next to Forsyth Park, it is easy to walk everywhere downtown. We would caution against taking breakfast at the B&B. Although we liked it because the owners were not trying to engage us in conversation at a set time, but, rather, serving as we liked, breakfast was not too good. It was a bit odd, but the menu does rotate. We ended up skipping it the next day, mainly because Savannah has so many good places to eat breakfast.

3.8 out of 5Pleasant place to stay
December 28, 2012
We had a really nice stay. Everything was in good order. The inn is at the southern end of town close by Forsythe Park on one of the small, beautiful squares. It's a bit of walk to get up to the River St area but not too bad because there is plenty to see while walking and the weather wasn't too bad just before Xmas. I guess we only had a couple things we were disappointed with as far as the inn. We had the Tree Top room and it is located about 5 doors down the street from the building with the office where breakfast and tea was served so it's not very convenient. The Tree Top room is on the 3rd level so we had a lot of stairs to climb and my g/f was having foot problems....not fun. We knew the situation with the stairs when booking though so I can't complain too much. The shower was a little weak also. Otherwise, this was a really nice place to stay for the price and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends.
3.4 out of 5A Great Place to Stay!
December 03, 2012
This is a beautiful B&B in a quiet area and a great location. The parking was free which was great, the room was clean and comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone traveling to Savannah. My only criticism is that the breakfasts were only mediocre.
5 out of 5What a Jem!
November 26, 2012
We just arrived home from a 10 day trip to Charleston, Savannah and Fort Myers. The whole trip was great but our favourite Bad and Breakfast was Savannah`s Bed and Breakfast. The staff was SO helpful and suggested restaurants, trolly tours etc. and also booked them for us. My husband loved it so much and raved about the room, food, court yard and service. This place was done with so much care and attention to detail! It really is centrally located and added to our complete Savannah experience. Thanks so much for your pursuit of excellence in the Bad and Breakfast industry!
2.8 out of 5Good value for Historical District stay
November 04, 2012
Although advertised as a "queen" bed, the Jasmine is a double. Everything else was as-advertised and as-reviewed by others - a good value.
