Buffalo Guesthouse earns praise for very clean rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient, walkable location near Allentown and downtown, delivering good value with cozy beds and a welcoming, communal vibe that helps solo travelers and groups feel at home.
Rooms are small and this is a guesthouse setup with in-room half baths and shared showers, which some guests did not expect. There are stairs and no elevator, and parking is street only, which can be tricky at times. Breakfast is generally appreciated but timing and quality vary. Overall, expect a simple, community-minded stay in a historic house.

The property is nice, but if you are mobility impaired, it wouldn't work. The entrance has steep steps and there is no elevator on the premises. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was very clean with comfortable beds. The biggest downfall was the breakfast. It consisted of cold scrambled eggs and sausage. Luckily, there is a microwave available. The fruit was not fresh and the coffee was not hot. However, atmosphere was pleasant. Only on street parking available.

We were taken by surprise that there were only shared showers with a tiny sink and toilet in the room, and would not have booked had we known that. There is also only street parking. That being said, the staff were very friendly, the breakfast was homemade and delicious, and the communal dining setup allowed us to meet some interesting people.

You have a great location. Your advertising should let potential guests know that they will be sharing shower facilities. This property is comparable to a youth hostel.

All the employees were very welcoming. Far more than just doing their jobs. A short walk to restaurants, bars, and the theater district. Because of street parking only, it can be difficult to find parking during weekdays until 5 p.m. A large outdoor area, with a hot tub, was nice to sit and relax after a day of site seeing

I'm glad I went here. I arrived at the bus station and took the 8 bus and walked. The employees were friendly. It opened three months ago. It's like 23000 sq ft and a lot of stairs since I was on the 3rd floor. It came w breakfast. My mattress was comfy and they gave me a robe. I would go back, but with less luggage since the stairs are hard w luggage. It was $3 to use washer and dryer.

If you're looking for basic accommodations in a location central to downtown and the bar scene in Allentown, for great value, try the Buffalo Guesthouse. Wesley, the owner, greeted me and showed me my room and the shared showers and hot tub. The Sunday breakfast was exactly what I wanted. I stayed in a single, which was adequate, but Wesley showed me the larger rooms as I was leaving, and I will take one of those on my next trip home.

Pros: Very clean with comfortable beds. Good breakfast. Fun swim spa which they were nice and let us use after it closed since we didn't get in until late. Cons: No one was there when we tried to check in and the phone numbers just rang in the building where no one was. Tried for 20 mins then was trying to find somewhere else to stay when someone wandered around from the back and let us in. Turned out their software hadn't alerted them to our reservation so it was a mistake but I feel they should have a number that goes to someone's cell phone just in case. Also, it wasn't totally clear that the shower was down the hall and shared. Not a fan of that. Was it the worst place to stay? No. Would I choose it again? Also no.

The owners are very friendly; the house is outfitted well for guests to feel at home and interact with one another, so it can be a great place to meet new people. My room was clean, efficient and comfortable. I was glad to hear that breakfast included eggs and bread as well as fruit and a cereal option instead of the carb and sugar-heavy options that are often offered for a free breakfast. I'm from a rural area and was on my own, so I didn't feel comfortable walking around the neighborhood, but was glad the side street the guesthouse is on was quiet, so I wasn't kept awake with city noises.

My room was very nice and well cared for. I felt so at home that I actually got a full night of sleep - which is rare for me in an unfamiliar environment. Maria was lovely, as well. It was a joy to be checked in by her and she explained the details and layout of the showers and facilities expertly. Most importantly, perhaps, the location was perfect for me. Being right off Allen street, I got to explore Allentown in depth - one of the major reasons for my trip. I was also able to walk to the Buffalo Convention Center on Sunday morning. The accessibility to downtown was a surprise and is sure to make me a repeat customer. The only downside was I was really looking forward to having some scrambled eggs in the morning at the buffet - but there was ham in them. Obviously, I am not a vegan - but I am a vegetarian & I do love my eggs and veggie omelets. But that is a minor quibble. Overall, 10++!!! Brian

Walkable to cool restaurants and bars. The beautiful young lady at the front desk even helped with our bags. Unfortunately I left my medicine and the man made sure those meds were sent to our next stop! I would never stay anywhere else in Buffalo.

The owner met us at the desk and was 100% cordial. We talked about life gor a bit. His manager gave us the tour and made us feel comfortable. I'd much rather stay at an 1800s home that has been refurbished than any chain hotel/motel any time. We will stay here again. It's a fun vintage, Victorian style house that's near great food and much more.

My room was very nice and well cared for. I felt so at home that I actually got a full night of sleep - which is rare for me in an unfamiliar environment. Maria was lovely, as well. It was a joy to be checked in by her and she explained the details and layout of the showers and facilities expertly. Most importantly, perhaps, the location was perfect for me. Being right off Allen street, I got to explore Allentown in depth - one of the major reasons for my trip. I was also able to walk to the Buffalo Convention Center on Sunday morning. The accessibility to downtown was a surprise and is sure to make me a repeat customer.

Clean room, wonderful staff, fantastic location, great value. You would be a fool to pay far more for a nearby hotel. Also the breakfast is really good.

I was there for the Paul McCartney concert and I definitely recommend this place! Everything was very clean, breakfast was good, the location is very convenient, they have an amazing staff and all around great friendly people. I felt very welcome and had a great time in Buffalo.

If you're looking for basic accommodations in a location central to downtown and the bar scene in Allentown, for great value, try the Buffalo Guesthouse. Wesley, the owner, greeted me and showed me my room and the shared showers and hot tub. The Sunday breakfast was exactly what I wanted. I stayed in a single, which was adequate, but Wesley showed me the larger rooms as I was leaving, and I will take one of those on my next trip home.

Location was great, calm and quiet. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. The rooms are in decent shape—clean and maintained—but they show their age. This can be seen by some as somewhat charming :)

There wasn't much to eat in the morning when we came down. I also didn't realize the showers were not in the room but down the hall. Overall the beds were very comfortable and it was close to shops and restaurants so that was good.

The property is nice, but if you are mobility impaired, it wouldn't work. The entrance has steep steps and there is no elevator on the premises. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was very clean with comfortable beds. The biggest downfall was the breakfast. It consisted of cold scrambled eggs and sausage. Luckily, there is a microwave available. The fruit was not fresh and the coffee was not hot. However, atmosphere was pleasant. Only on street parking available.

While the rooms are small, the staff is warm and friendly. Breakfast is generous with real scrambled eggs and a variety of choices. Large dining table encourages guests to visit with each other. Walkable neighborhood near restaurants on Allen St.

We were taken by surprise that there were only shared showers with a tiny sink and toilet in the room, and would not have booked had we known that. There is also only street parking. That being said, the staff were very friendly, the breakfast was homemade and delicious, and the communal dining setup allowed us to meet some interesting people.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Buffalo Guesthouse. It was good to be in the Allentown area again. Wes and Viking were excellent hosts and I highly recommended that anyone visiting Buffalo make their hotel reservations at the Buffalo Guesthouse. Cheers!
