a true representation of Southern charm, hospitality, and elegance --- from the accommodations and food to the superb staff --- they make you feel really 'special' and pampered. We would not dream of staying anywhere else in Savannah. A couple of our friends were with us and said it was truly the best place they had ever stayed. Can't say... more

A somewhat impersonal B&B. Had a cold feeling to it. Our room was very small and poorly laid out. Most B&Bs we've stayed at provide a complementary cocktail hour. This one charges for it. We also stayed at the palmer house. It was superb. I would not recommend this place. Way overpriced. more

The Ballastone Inn is housed in a 170 year old, an original home built in 1838. We strive to maintain the integrity of its period with antique furnishings as much as possible. Our passion is to remain in every way possible a genuine representation of the period of Southern grandeur. Every detail is hand picked, the silver and china at...

This is the most beautiful Inn and we loved it. The room was so beautiful and felt like we went back in time. The service was exceptional and the food was great. We loved ha ving tea in the mid afternoon. My husband loved the bar in the Inn because he could have a drink in the early evening with... more

Nice staff, clean rooms, but the inn desperately needs a facelift. Kind of dowdy....Hard to believe this place is rated the best in Savannah..... very overrated. more

We arrived at this gorgeous inn and found everything we had hoped to find. The beauty of our surroundings was matched by the exceptional staff who took great care of us from the moment we arrived until we checked out 4 days later. Dwayne made recommendations and reservations that never disappointed and he did all this with a great deal... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit at The Ballastone Inn! The rooms are beautiful, the staff is amazing, and location is convenient by car, trolley, or on foot. My husband and I arrived late at night, delayed by involvement in an auto accident, and we were welcomed by Jessica, who immediately took care of us. She offered us refreshments, explained the... more

Stayed here with my wife for a few nights in April. What fantastic service! The ladies on the front desk at night helped me set up everything from restaurant & tour reservations to the chocolate covered strawberries, champagne, and rose petals on our bed for turn-down service (as requested). I didn't have to do a thing except tell them what... more

Two good friends from childhood picked Savannah to celebrate their 50th birthdays. We chose the Ballastone based on all the positives we had read online. And they were all right. Lovely inn right in the heart of Savannah, within walking distance to everything. Sixteen beautiful rooms, each a bit different. Clean and quiet. Excellent, friendly concierge service. Nice turndown service... more

The location is perfect and it is a charming building. However, the exceptional service that is described was not experienced. It is more hype than happening. We have stayed at many other places of this type and the service was far better. A very young lady checked us in. It was not very welcoming. She gave us no details about... more
