Self-serve breakfast and good coffee earn frequent praise. The South Side location is convenient for walking to restaurants and a short drive to downtown attractions, though the immediate area feels industrial and quieter at night. Expect a charming, hostel-like stay with simple, comfortable rooms.

I liked that it was different from the usual hotel chains. The unique historical architecture was interesting, but the hotel was updated and had all the amenities that met our needs, including our private bath that was down the hall. The free street parking was a plus! The location was great, short distances to sites of interest near downtown. Good restaurants within walking distance. Beds were comfortable. There was plenty of variety and healthy choices for our self service breakfasts. You can hear people walk and talk in the hallway at night, but it didn't disturb my sleep. I would definitely stay here again.

We really liked the Traveler's Rest Hotel - but it's definitely atypical, so if you prefer chain hotels, this is not for you. In a carefully restored historic building with lots of character, Traveler's Rest feels a little more like a large bed & breakfast. Our bathroom was a short walk down the hall - but it was private, and sparklingly clean. Breakfast is in a shared common room (like a large living room) with lots of food choices, good coffee, and friendly conversation.

The self check-in was very well organized and convenient. The breakfast in the common space was excellent. Beds were comfortable and spaces were clean. We really enjoyed the unique aesthetic of the building and rooms! We walked back from downtown area at night and would just caution to use the 10th bridge at night because the surrounding area is not very populated.

I loved staying at the Travelers Rest! The bed was very comfortable and quiet. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. I loved interacting with them and the other guests in the living room area. The kitchen is equipped with coffee/tea, muffins, yogurt, eggs, fruit, etc. We stayed at a corporate hotel the night before which was double the price we paid at the TR and it wasn’t worth it although they were very nice too. No continental breakfast, and the bed was not as comfortable as the TR bed. I highly recommend the Travelers Rest and I will definitely stay there again!!! Thank you Marybeth and Paul awesome job, well done ❤️

Great place to stay and not pay extra for unneeded things. Room had just the basics needed for our overnight stay. Private bathroom just across the hall was very clean and modern. Location was quiet, quieter than most hotels I've been to recently! Within easy walking distance of PNC Park (Pirates), which was the reason for our visit to Pittsburgh. Plenty of free (non-metered), nearby on street parking available. We were able to park just outside the front door.

This is a hostel, not a hotel. Bathroom, although solely ours, was down the hall. Room was very sparse, no thermostat, mirror, tv or, as stated, bathroom. Bath was clean, but soap and shampoo was provided in a common area via little self service cups. Area totally industrial, half mile from edge of South Side strip.

Our family of 5 (3 teens) loved the Traveler's Rest! This hotel has so much more character and charm than a standard hotel in the suburbs. Our teens described it as a "Wes Anderson movie vibe." Our beds were comfortable, the Byer's' Suite with three beds, two bedrooms and a private washroom was perfect for all five of us, and the common area is comfortable with great coffee. We are so happy we had a chance to experience an authentic Pittsburgh neighbourhood while in town for a youth sports tournament.

Our stay was just fine, but it started out a bit rocky. I never received an email from Hotels.com with our check-in instructions and door code. When we arrived, checked again for the email while it was pouring down rain. Luckily, we found a phone number of the hostel and talked with owner that walked us through getting in the front door. Once in, we found the hostel very charming. We were surprised by the small room and lack of TV. Our own private bathroom was across the hall. But the code to get in the bathroom is the same code as the front door. And since we didn’t get the email from Hotels.com, we had to contact the owner again to get the code. The next morning, we were able to meet and talk with the owners, who were very friendly and told us all about the history of the building.

Our stay was utterly delightful. The owners responded promptly to my texted questions before we arrived; this turned out to be a preview of impeccable customer service and a wonderful experience overall. The house is gorgeous, the kitchen comfortable, and the people fun to talk to. My husband and our two teenagers were initially hesitant about the detached bathroom. But we all found the arrangements to be great. The bathroom is completely private and toiletries can be left inside with the door locked. The location was convenient for driving to PNC Park and walking to restaurants and the Monongahela Incline. Not only would we stay there again, we'll recommend it to everyone.

Our stay at Traveler’s Rest was exceptional. The hotel boasts a distinctive charm, offering a unique and memorable experience. A complimentary breakfast was provided each morning in the common area, adding to the convenience of our stay. Its prime location allowed for easy access to numerous restaurants and bars within walking distance, while most major attractions were just a 10- to 15-minute drive away. I would stay here again in the future.

This is a hostel, not a hotel. Bathroom, although solely ours, was down the hall. Room was very sparse, no thermostat, mirror, tv or, as stated, bathroom. Bath was clean, but soap and shampoo was provided in a common area via little self service cups. Area totally industrial, half mile from edge of South Side strip.

I liked that it was different from the usual hotel chains. The unique historical architecture was interesting, but the hotel was updated and had all the amenities that met our needs, including our private bath that was down the hall. The free street parking was a plus! The location was great, short distances to sites of interest near downtown. Good restaurants within walking distance. Beds were comfortable. There was plenty of variety and healthy choices for our self service breakfasts. You can hear people walk and talk in the hallway at night, but it didn't disturb my sleep. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful “boutique” hotel, in a wonderfully reconditioned 1800’s building. Exceptionally friendly and helpful service, and a location that puts you a quick drive (or hearty walk) away from Pittsburgh’s downtown entertainment district. Highly recommended!

The self check-in was very well organized and convenient. The breakfast in the common space was excellent. Beds were comfortable and spaces were clean. We really enjoyed the unique aesthetic of the building and rooms! We walked back from downtown area at night and would just caution to use the 10th bridge at night because the surrounding area is not very populated.

Great place to stay and not pay extra for unneeded things. Room had just the basics needed for our overnight stay. Private bathroom just across the hall was very clean and modern. Location was quiet, quieter than most hotels I've been to recently! Within easy walking distance of PNC Park (Pirates), which was the reason for our visit to Pittsburgh. Plenty of free (non-metered), nearby on street parking available. We were able to park just outside the front door.

We stayed for four nights as a family of five. This small hotel was incredibly warm and inviting, and the hosts, Paul and Mary Beth were wonderfully accommodating and kind throughout our stay. The location was perfect for short drives (15 minutes tops!) to everything we wanted to see, plus it was walking distance to great food and shops on the Southside. Breakfast every morning was an easy treat and the coffee/tea was excellent. Bonus: Peabody is a sweet pup to pet if you're missing your furry friends at home. If you are a cyclist/bike enthusiast, this should be your number one place to stay in Pittsburgh. We're already planning our next adventure here sans the kiddos so we can ride some of the fantastic trails. Seriously, stay here. You'll love it!

Very good hostel-like hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms and amenities are nice, bathrooms are individual but across the hallway. Noise travels very easily between rooms. Simple breakfast with self-made options available.

We really liked the Traveler's Rest Hotel - but it's definitely atypical, so if you prefer chain hotels, this is not for you. In a carefully restored historic building with lots of character, Traveler's Rest feels a little more like a large bed & breakfast. Our bathroom was a short walk down the hall - but it was private, and sparklingly clean. Breakfast is in a shared common room (like a large living room) with lots of food choices, good coffee, and friendly conversation.

If you want to stay in a historic building with some beautiful woodwork and unplug in homey rooms, this is a great place. My husband and a friend stayed in the corner suite which used to be the offices and board room of an industrial mogul during the industrial revolution and early 20's. Gorgeous high ceilings and woodwork. We found out when we met the owners (very nice people) that they cyclists and apparently there is a city bike trail so many cyclists like to stay there. We were in town for a hockey game. There are some continental breakfast options each morning. As FYI there is no onsite room service but the owners are very available. When your confirmation is sent, they will send you a door code. We would certainly stay here again. Charming building!

I loved staying at the Travelers Rest! The bed was very comfortable and quiet. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. I loved interacting with them and the other guests in the living room area. The kitchen is equipped with coffee/tea, muffins, yogurt, eggs, fruit, etc. We stayed at a corporate hotel the night before which was double the price we paid at the TR and it wasn’t worth it although they were very nice too. No continental breakfast, and the bed was not as comfortable as the TR bed. I highly recommend the Travelers Rest and I will definitely stay there again!!! Thank you Marybeth and Paul awesome job, well done ❤️

Great property with very nice owners. Not some crappy chain, that is certain. Unique set up and approach, which I consider a positive. I would advise to anyone staying in the Pittsburgh area.

Travelers Rest IS NOT your traditional hotel. If you want the lavish amenities of a pool, gym, office, or a TV, this is not for you. If you're adventurous, plan on spending days out, or exploring all that Pittsburgh has to offer, Travelers Rest IS for you. Travelers Rest is a place that you can enjoy the common area, make new friends, sleep and restart the next day. Room and Bathroom were clean, management is beyond helpful. Free breakfast and only public street parking.

Lovely place. Easy to park on the street, and easy access to downtown Pittsburgh (we were in town for a concert). Private and secure bathroom is just down the hall from the Family Room. The room itself was nice and the common area was very cozy. Breakfast was good with lot of options. Would definitely stay again!
