My husband and I stayed here for the first time. We love coming to Galveston for little quick getaways, and The Mansion on 17th was absolute perfection. From the communication right after we booked, to the recommendations from the staff, and the wonderful kind staff. That’s just the start. Then you get to the mansion, and it’s like you walked into a different era. The rooms are lovely, the happy hour is fun, and the breakfast is to die for! Made from scratch for you with different options to choose from. It’s within walking distance to the Strand and lots of options for places to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already looking to book again soon!

OMG this place is so CUTE! We booked just one night before leaving on a cruise. The room was huge, and had a very cute screened in porch attached with and excellent view. We walked a couple of blocks and had some wonderful and reasonably priced Tex-Mex food! I had not planned on eating breakfast, but my husband went down for coffee and he said we just HAD to eat because it looked so good. And it was wonderful! I had scrambled eggs with crab and hollandaise sauce that was to die for. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Outstanding Victorian mansion in the heart of Galveston. Absolutely impossible to say a bad thing about this place!! I was actually greeted at the front gate by Aaron, their concierge and and Jack of all trades. He then served a small group of of at the open bar for the evening and drove us to the port to catch our ship the next morning. Such a fine and friendly gentleman. Breakfast was outstanding, and service there top notch. The room (The Laura) was spacious and comfortable, with a walk out porch on the second floor. House is situated within walking distance of the Strand, which means so many shops, restaurants and other entertainment are close. Yes this is amazing, but the staff in this place just add that magical touch you just can't find anywhere anymore.

I feel like the other reviews were misleading. It is a nostalgic property but not what I was expecting from the pictures and reviews. It is definitely a 100 year old house. Window ac unit. No real door locks. Just the little twist lock on the door knob. Door to the balcony only closed with a little piece of metal. Not what I was expecting. This was for our 20th wedding anniversary date night and I was so disappointed. I almost cried. For $290 I expected more. We did not try the food as we were just staying to sleep there. We had other plans.

Beautiful!
This B&B is beautiful and welcoming. The restored historic home has much more charm than a modern hotel for those of us who appreciate old world character. The rooms are spacious, the beds are very comfortable, and the additions of a social hour in the afternoon and a gourmet breakfast make this place a great value for your money.
