An Exceptional Stay with Thoughtful...

Liked: My stay at Hotel Zelda Dearest was absolutely wonderful! The attention to detail and commitment to quality made it a truly special experience.From the moment I arrived, I was charmed by the hotel’s exterior. The hotel is located in three renovated historic buildings, right next to the Biltmore Avenue. There are many good restaurants within short walking distance. The outdoor sitting area, surrounded by lush flowers and manicured bushes, felt like a secret garden. The attention to landscaping made the entire property feel elegant and inviting.The room’s decor was stunning—every element was carefully chosen and arranged with great taste, creating a beautiful and inviting atmosphere. Everything was impeccably clean, and the spacious bathroom felt like a spa retreat, complete with a sleek modern bathtub and luxurious Grown Alchemist skincare products.I especially appreciated the little touches that elevated the experience: the elegant electric kettle with a selection of high-quality teas, the beautiful matching cups, and the stylish napkins—all of which showed how much care goes into the guest experience. The bed was very comfortable, though I would have loved if the linens were made of cotton instead of polyester for an even cozier feel.Breakfast was a delight! The selection was both delicious and beautifully presented. We enjoyed freshly baked croissants with ham, cheese, and chocolate, moist berry cupcakes, and a heavenly blueberry pie. There were also cups of fresh berries, creamy overnight oats, and yogurt options—including sugar-free—alongside excellent coffee and tea.Overall, Hotel Zelda Dearest exceeded my expectations. The combination of beautiful design, cleanliness, and thoughtful amenities made my stay unforgettable. I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a refined and relaxing getaway!

Liked: We had a lovely stay at Zelda Dearest, it has a nice cozy B&B / guesthouse feel and is in a great location within easy walk of several craft breweries as well as all the bars and restaurants in the main town centre. Our room was immaculate, spacious and had a lovely bathroom, and also was totally silent at night. Breakfast was really nice too with an excellent selection of pastries including a couple of gluten free options which were delicious. Jake at the front desk was also very helpful in giving us recommendations for things to see and do in Asheville and around.

Very good

Lovely Alternative to a Big...

Liked: -- Messages that were exchanged via text prior to arrival were courteous and helpful.-- The room was incredibly quiet and clean!-- The room size was spacious enough for one person. Too people could possibly feel cramped in!-- The bed was very comfortable!!-- The bathroom amenities were of high quality. -- The adjacent bar was lovely and the bartender Rose was kind, attentive and accommodating!-- The grounds were very well maintained and beautiful!-- Downtown Ashville was conveniently located in walking distance.
Disliked: -- I wish I would have been asked if I needed help with luggage since there were steps that lead to the rom upon check-in. -- Breakfast was included and although croissants from a locale bakery and some homemade overnight oats were offered, it would have been lovely to have more gluten free options.-- Parking was possible on premise yet required a $12 charge purchased through an app.
