What guests think

At Kimpton Sylvan Hotel Buckhead Atlanta, travellers frequently praise the welcoming staff, stylish vibe, and convenient Buckhead location near shops and restaurants, while feedback also notes dated elevators, occasional maintenance lapses, and pricey, valet-only parking that can frustrate some guests.

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, though some are small, and recurring comments mention A/C or weak water pressure plus occasional noise from the rooftop bar or nearby construction. Cleanliness is usually solid, but several guests reported stained linens, dusty windowsills, worn carpets, or missed housekeeping. On-site dining and the rooftop bar earn many compliments yet can be inconsistent, with occasional closures, limited hours, slow service, or higher prices; the pool, gym, and garden spaces are appreciated. Expect a stylish, pet-friendly boutique stay in Buckhead with friendly service and a few trade-offs.

Way over priced I thought I was getting a luxury hotel, when you get on the elevator you can tell its from the 70-80 and they just painted it. I paid extra for a city view but we were on a lower level so not much of a view at all. Being forced to pay 45 dollars a night for the valet was a nice surprise. The rooftop bar was great though very friendly bartenders.

Check-in valet parking was awful - front desk & valets seemed to be fighting & they had lost tickets to be able to valet our car. Extortionate pricing at $100 for 2 nights parking on top of a $350 / night room. No water in the room very odd & charged $7 for a small bottle. Nice location, but won’t be back.

I had an A/C problem the first night, and they moved me immediately without me even asking, and even went up to the new room to make sure the A/C and everything else was acceptable before giving me the key. Breakfast was great, and the bartenders at St Julep were easy to talk to and kept my glass full...what more can you ask for.

Property was fine, but nothing special. The ceiling in my room had peeling paint and there was hair in the shower. No coffee maker in the room and no mini bar offerings. Almost no toiletries provided. There is also no room service after 10pm, so if you arrive from traveling late you are out of luck and have to Uber Eats food - I arrived at 11pm and was out of luck. The property served its purpose, but I wouldn't rush back.

The hotel was in poor condition. Our room had noticeable scuff marks on the walls and bathroom floor, and the carpet at the entrance had large, visible holes. The windows were old and grimy, and the sills were covered in dirt and dust, clearly neglected for some time. The hallway carpet was torn and frayed at the seams, adding to the overall rundown appearance. What made the experience worse was the front desk service in the morning. When I simply asked if I could check out by dropping my keys in the box, I was met with a rude, condescending response. I had interrupted a personal conversation. After answering me curtly, she actually apologized to her conversation partner—as if I was the inconvenience. Also, the evening we stayed I asked for an extra blanket around 930pm, because the duvet is more like a thick sheet, and did not get a response until 730am when we were ready to check out. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially for a Kimpton property. I would not stay here again and wouldn’t recommend it. There are surely much better hotel options in the Buckhead area.

We had one issue during our stay. The A/C went out the evening of our second day there. I called the front desk and they said they'd send someone over. We waited about an hour and no one came, so I called back down. They said Engineering was working on another room and we were next. They said no problem if we are going out, they will fix it anyway. We did go out around 5:30PM and came back at 11. The air was not fixed. I went down to the front desk and was informed that the air was out fo the entire tier of rooms. They assigned us another room. No problem, things happen all the time out of their control. But, I think it could have been handled better. It would have been nice to get a follow up that the A/C could not be fixed and that we were being moved. It also would have been nice to get some help moving our things. They simply dropped off a luggage cart at the door. Needless to say, packing up your room at 11PM and moving was not ideal. That was our only complaint. The hotel is immaculate and the staff are very nice.

Kimpton Sylvan was a nice & quiet 2 night stay. Guest relations staff was very warm, friendly, & helpful - all of them! I enjoyed the amenities around the hotel esp, the arboretum, pool side, fitness ctr, and all the spaces to sit throughout. The rooms were spacious and clean. Initially, the sink was stopped up in my room, but the staff made quick efforts & fixed it. I will definitely stay again.

Paid extra for 'city' view, but it tured out that we are facing a garage structure. The front desk told us that it used to be a nice city view, but next door started the construction and blocked the view. If that were the case, then they should not charge extra for a view which is no longer there. Another issue is that we were over-charged for parking. I've called their Finance twice and left 2 messages, but it has been a week, no one ever called back.

I previously stayed at this hotel for a business trip in December for over a week and had an OK experience. I elected to rebook the hotel as it is conveniently located for work. While in my Uber after landing around 10:45pm I received a phone call that they were having an “issue” and needed to book me elsewhere— they would “text me an address shortly” I was already on my way to the hotel and to receive this message at that time of night is entirely unreasonable and unacceptable. I received a text that I was rebooked at a Marriot. This location was no longer convenient for me walking to work. Additionally, upon arrival, this was not a Marriot hotel nor was it the same quality as the Sylvan. The front desk also let me know that this was due to an overbooking. Again, unreasonable and unacceptable to not give me an option on where I would stay or at minimum provide an upgrade. When I responded to the message they agreed that this hotel was not a comparable hotel and also that this was due to overbooking (thanks for lying to begin with). I also requested to have a call from a more senior hotel manager and have yet to receive that. Horrific customer service and experience after a day of travel. I can’t in good faith recommended anyone book this hotel.

3 people at the front desk hanging out when we arrived, they allowed a line to build up before saying “oh is anyone helping you?” The room was missing many typical things - no remote, no glasses or wine key, when asked they didn’t provide. Front desk seemed to lack care for guests needs. Bellman handed us a cart but didn’t help and it was covered in pet hair. The Kimpton vibe is usually amazing and this was just bleh. If the staff was more focused on delivering good service to guests, it would be a good spot but I’d recommend another place until they improve. Decor nice, beds comfy, quiet in the evening but the service just ruined it.

Convenient location in Buckhead near several shopping and dining establishments. Room layout and furnishings are nice, however we had multiple annoyances during our stay that indicate that service could be improved : no water pressure in shower and bathroom faucet, no additional toilet paper in-room at check in, one lamp wouldn’t turn on, confusing signage to get to the valet parking area. We arrived at 9pm on a stormy Friday night and were told that the restaurant was closed for a private event, that there was no room service, and that the only way we could get food is order directly from the bar upstairs. We went upstairs and it was total mayhem: no room so sit, loud music and overwhelmed staff (again at 9pm). When we went back downstairs to inquire if there was any other way to get food to our room, we were told Uber Eats was our only option. We ordered and waited in the lobby, which was very loud as some alarm kept on ringing on and off. This wasn’t the quiet night in we were looking for. All in all the experience didn’t meet my expectations as a Kimpton brand loyal customer and service was miles away from what we’ve encountered recently at The Shane in Midtown Altanta, a property I would warmly recon over this one.

Decor and furnishing were bland and no view to speak of. The breakfast in the Betty was fine with the exception of the 1 slice of toast for $7!! Dinner was disappointing. Food was served cool and bland. $50/night KochWould definitely stay again.
