What guests think

Across many reviews, Hotel Pippa is praised for its central Nantucket location, friendly and attentive staff, charming boutique decor, and pleasant outdoor spaces with a bar, with guests also appreciating the included continental breakfast before exploring town.

Rooms are generally comfortable but often small, and some have private bathrooms located across the hall. Several guests mention noise from thin walls, street activity, or nearby areas, while most find the property clean despite a few isolated issues. Parking can be tricky in town, though staff guidance helps. Expect a cozy, boutique stay in the heart of town.

Wonderful boutique inn in a fantastic location downtown. Staff were were terrific. We arrived early and they invited us to hold our luggage and enjoy breakfast. It was nice having breakfast included: coffee, tea, juice, croissants and muffins, fresh fruit, hard boiled egg and yogurt and overnight oats with fruit. A nice inside seating area and Avery nice outdoor area as well. You can have a glass a wine and relax there. Fire pits which we didn’t get a chance to use. We were in Room 6. It was clean and had comfortable and attractive bedding, but it was very small. So small we didn’t have a place for our two carry-on bags so we swapped out a chair for a second luggage stand. The bathroom, shower, towels and amenities were good. I would definitely stay here again. Aside from the size of the room, everything was perfect and again, the people who worked there made it feel special. Thank you.

We loved Hotel Pippa. Wonderful, helpful staff. We especially loved the terrace between the two buildings where we enjoyed breakfast each morning and a glass of wine in the late afternoon. The only thing that could be improved: stronger coffee for the otherwise excellent continental breakfast.

We enjoyed the outdoor seating area, complimentary breakfast and beach towels/chairs. The staff was very friendly and helpful! We hope to be back in the future!

Great location. Near everything in Nantucket Town. The staff was great. Very pleasant and available all the time. Parking was a problem, but that's the same for any in-town property in Nantucket. But the staff at the Pippa helped us to sort it out.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Pippa! The hotel itself its so well decorated and beautiful. There is a complimentary breakfast in the morning which was perfect before exploring for the day. Courtney at the front desk was fabulous and so attentive to our needs. We were outfitted for all the things we needed for beach days as well. The outside patio was amazing for a quick drink before dinner or enjoying desert at the end of the night. I couldn't recommend this property enough.

They had placed me in an attic with no personal bathroom. The door to the actual attic was left open I could see inside there were a bunch of old boxes dirty clothing items just left throw around. They tried to cover it up with a clothing hanger stand. There were many bugs throughout the room including a centipede I had to kill in the middle of the night! I can’t believe I paid so much for this. This place was a nightmare.

First the good: Hotel Pippa is very charming. The beds were really comfortable. And then the not so good: Our room had a bathroom dedicated to us but down the hall. Not great. Also the room was on the street level and there was quite a bit of street noise. And lots of clomping around by the folks upstairs. Don't think I would stay there again.

I would recommend staying here. It is in a very good location walkable to downtown area restaurants and the ferries. The staff is super friendly and nice in general. My room was a bit too small but I knew that when I booked it. It was fine for just me but for 2 people would have been way too small. They even offer some breakfast items and coffee included in your stay. The hotel is botique with only 17 or so rooms but you will not be disappointed if you stay there.
