3.0 out of 5Robin's Nest - Nice!
May 09, 2013
A friend and I stayed at Robin's Nest this week. A pleasant stay. The room was spacious and atmosphere eclectic. Nice residential location - even though every cabby we met had never heard of the B&B or Greeley Street (and we took about 12 cab rides during our stay!) I cannot say this is a great place to stay for everyone - narrow stairs, "older" (although lovely) accommodations, limited breakfast selection (although very good food) and very much “self serve” when it comes to check in/out. With that said, we enjoyed our time with Robin and would return. I am a B&B lover, and Robin’s Nest is good, maybe not fabulous, but definitely good!
3.8 out of 5As described

Best way to summarize is to say that the place is exactly as described in their advertising materials. Charming, comfy, clean, cozy, etc etc, good location near shops, resturants, museums, etc etc

April 14, 2013
I don't think we could have chosen a nicer place to spend our week in Houston. Robin and her staff welcomed us so warmly, the food was delicious and we felt such peace in our little apartment, which was great as we aren't really city folk and we would have found Houston hard work otherwise! Thank you all for making our stay memorable.

April 11, 2013
The Robin's Nest is charming and very relaxing. We stayed in Cindy's Room, which is not in the main house, but right next to it. We still were included in breakfast, which was wonderful each time. I love the fellowship of breakfast in a B&B and Robin's Nest had a great feeling of fellowship.

The bathroom carries through with a red silk check. Cecelia's Room is on the second floor. It faces east so you get morning sun; however, the English toile drapes are beautifully lined so you can close out the light if you wish.

Check in time is After 1 p.m. and Check out time is 11:00 AM. 10' ceilings, original, rare, Longleaf Pine hardwood floors. A good room for writing poetry, I think.

Ruth Ann's Room is the only room downstairs which renders it somewhat isolated. Because it's the only guest room downstairs your space de facto extends to the sun room, the parlor and the dining room. If you are a light or late sleeper another room may be better, however, as we serve breakfast from 7 - 9 a.m. If it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother us. The bathroom is a good size, with tub and shower inclusive, a muraled shade tree and a giraffe to keep you company. Check in time is After 1 p.m. and Check out time is 11:00 AM.

$149/$139Barbara Joyce's Room
Bold, warm colors. If you're planning to pop the question or close a business deal, this is the room that will give your adrenalin an extra drop or two. It's especially private because it's detached from the main house. It's in the second house (c.1920) called "The little Nest", toward the back of the property. A queen bed, original art, a French pedestal table for an intimate chat, which Robin brought back from Paris: or, if you must, work. A shower for one, or a deep whirlpool for two, or just you after a long day and before that oh, so comfortable, bed.

5 out of 5Hidden Gem in Houston!
April 07, 2013
A wonderful place to stay in Houston, especially if you're into museums and the fine arts. It is nestled in a very safe and quiet neighborhood two blocks from a main thoroughfare road. It's a reasonable one mile walk from the main museum district, and half that to the Menil Collection and the Rothko Chapel. Breakfast is served with a flair for the healthy and fresh, with creative egg dishes and fresh fruit in addition to great coffee, tea, and juices. Very whimsical decor is distinctive and fun.
5 out of 5Where's the Mad Hatter?
March 28, 2013
The Robin's Nest B & B was nothing like I expected. From the moment we came through the front door, we were awed by the colors and patterns of paint and fabric, enchanting the eye wherever we looked. I felt like Alice in Wonderland, having just fallen through the rabbit hole. The dining table, with its eclectic place settings, had a tea-party charm. The surprises didn't end when we went upstairs. Our "room" was actually a delightfully colorful complete apartment! And, oh, the breakfasts were so delicious and filling that we never ate lunch. As if all of this wasn't enough, Robin regaled us with the history of the neighborhood from its days as a farm to the delightfully, trendy area it has become. We spent four days at the Robin's Nest and, if we ever visit Houston again, we'll be staying there and I'll still be watching for the Mad Hatter.

I enjoyed my stay at Robin's Nest. The property and rooms are quirky and fun and the location is outstanding. Marta's communication beforehand was perfect; I knew just what to expect. Breakfast was wonderful (they happily accommodated my diet) and so was the conversation with other guests. These guys are professionals and it shows!
