What guests think

Travellers describe The Madison Hotel as a stylish, vintage-feeling boutique stay with very clean rooms, friendly staff, and smooth text-based check-in, set in a quiet residential area near the Bishop Arts District and downtown Dallas.

Rooms are small and well-decorated with comfortable beds, but several guests mention thin walls and occasional hallway or neighbor noise, and a few note limited views. Facilities are minimal for a boutique property: parking is limited with a narrow driveway and overflow on the street, no elevator is noted, and a recurring social hour offers complimentary drinks. Opinions on the surrounding neighborhood vary: many find it walkable to Bishop Arts, while others felt it was out of the way or a bit rundown, especially at night. Expect a charming, clean, small-scale stay with light amenities and a neighborhood vibe.

Highly recommend staying at The Madison! It exceeded my expectations. I was a little concerned about the parking situation before we got there, but it was not a problem at all. If you aren’t able to park in the little back lot, there is plenty of safe, well-lit street parking available. Having a complementary glass of wine on the patio during their social hour was an amazing surprise, as the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.

We stayed for one night, came to town for a concert and the staff was amazing, and check in and check out was a breeze and everything was done through text messages. Only thing to “complain”, was that parking is very limited, so we had to park in the street, but other than that, it was a great stay! Oh and they gave us free wine and beer in the evening, right before our concert, so that was amazing!

What a beautiful place! The main hallway was decorated so nicely with so many vintage and heirloom-looking photos and paintings. The lobbies were super cute and comfortable. The rooms were small but comfortable and had all the mod cons. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I did appreciate the keyless entry to the building and the room. The parking lot is teeny-tiny and the driveway very narrow. Still a regular sized sedan or smaller SUV would be fine. There is a school (elementary, I think) right across the street so if you visit during the school year, it’s something to consider when street parking and driving there.

So this is a very chill, relaxed and serene place. Not really able to compare it to anywhere we've ever stayed before. First off - it's clean. Lots of dark wood and reserved lighting. They are dialed-in regarding tech, so you can take care of most/all of your dealings (check-in/out) w/ your phone. Front office staff was polite/courteous/helpful. Rooms are not huge. Bathrooms either. But we were traveling rather light, so not a problem. Both were very clean. We didn't hear sounds from any other rooms. Important note: Parking is . . . unique. You have to navigate down a VERY narrow driveway to get to the main lot in the back of the facility. Big car? Wouldn't recommend it. You'll be on the street, I suppose. Just minutes (15) from downtown. While the neighborhood isn't totally sketch . . . . we really weren't quite sure about it. This hotel just seems a bit out of place there. The view from our second floor room was of someone's trashed backyard. Not a big issue - just close the blinds. Don't get mad at your mapping app when you get closer as the road in front is 1/4 one-way and 3/4 two-way (It's a school zone thing, apparently). Beds are comfy. A very nice place.

We recently stayed at this charming boutique hotel in an area that is undergoing revitalization and rebuilding, which added a unique character to the surroundings. The rooms are beautifully and meticulously decorated with a super cozy and elegant ambiance. The parking area behind the hotel is just big enough, making it convenient for guests. While there’s no kitchen, room service, or pool, the exceptional courtesy and kindness of the staff made our stay truly enjoyable. The location is also perfect for exploring nearby tourist spots without needing to drive far. Overall, a delightful experience, and we’d love to return!

It was a simple boutique hotel in an industrial neighborhood. As a frequent traveler, I didn’t find it that special. Bed was overall comfy, but limited amenities, shower dial was upside down, no front desk for late check-in needs, and it’s actually outside of the main bishop arts strip area (5 mins drive). FYI for light sleepers: walls are extremely thin so bring quality duty ear plugs (they don’t tell you they have them in the front desk area but luckily I brought my own). I checked in late and TV kept turning on because the neighboring room apparently had the same remote so I had to eventually unplug the TV. With thin walls and to upkeep with the era of their building, they really shouldn’t have TVs.

The room is very, very small and we got the largest one they had. Zero view because there is a fence in front of the window. No safe or water in the room. There is a public water jug and microwave in the hall. However, it is well decorated, clean and close to the bishops art district. Need to have transportation, though, because the area is not safe. Also, stay in an upstairs room because you can hear everything if you are in a first floor room.

The room decor is nice, and everything was clean—including a cute and tidy bathroom. However, the walls are quite thin, so it gets noisy, especially after 8 a.m., which makes it hard to sleep in. Parking is limited, and the bed was way too soft for my liking. The pillows also weren't very comfortable.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 3-night stay at The Madison, a beautiful boutique hotel located in the Bishop Arts neighborhood of Dallas. Although the room was small, it had all the comforts and amenities I needed during my stay. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfortable. I loved all the little touches of the hotel and room; it's almost like stepping back in time as soon as you enter or feeling you're on the set of a movie. Soap and other items were complimentary and the staff was really friendly. I really appreciated the free parking as well. The only critique I have is that the view from my window (the westside) was not much to look at - a large dilapidated backyard with a rubbish pile belonging to a private home. The large trees were nice however. I found it charming that the backyard on the property on the eastside of the hotel had chickens. It was nice to b awoken by a crowing rooster! Despite these quibbles, I would definitely stay here again!

It's a cute small hotel, but it's out of the way in Dallas unless you want to stay specifically in the Bishop Arts district. The decor is great and very stylish, (this part is good). Unfortunately, the service is pretty poor or non-existent. Uber dropped my at an apartment building way down the street and left me out in the heat. Too far to walk. Cell phone was almost dead, and I had three bags. Tried to call the hotel to verify the exact locale: Absolutely no answer. When I finally go to the right hotel, the check in was pretty poor. A millennial attitude woman, doesn't offer water or a single thing, when I asked if she had some, it was "down the all with dixie cups" she was very concerned about collecting the $100 deposit, and kept tapping away on her dumb device, which kept failing (eyes down gazed) but offered no amenities or pleasantries whats so ever, other than to say. "Oh we are a boutique hotel" They just don't get it. I would have rather stayed at more of a traditional place like the Warwick Melrose in Oaklawn. I had two reservations before hand, and this place had charged my card through two nights in advance without warning, and was $200 bucks cheaper so I thought, well I'd give it try. Next time I'll choose another place. Also turn down, service happened 1x in a 3 night stay. If you want an air b and b with cute decor then this place is for you!
