This hotel was everything people wrote. It was nice and quaint, quiet, and fantastic! I found this hotel on a hotel search trying to find something that wasn't a typical chain hotel for just a night stay for a birthday getaway. The hotel was adorable with it's old feel. Thank you Hollander Hotel for a great night stay. We will be staying here again.

We stayed here for one night since our vacation rental was only ready the next day. I had read the positive reviews so I figured we couldn't go wrong. We were not disappointed. Very cute and quaint hotel with a lovely bar, coffee shop and great veranda - also live music. The staff is very friendly. We checked in around 9 p.m. and immediately went down to the bar to order food. Suzie the waitress was very friendly. Had the pizza (Marguerita, I think) and it was very good. The next morning we went to the coffee bar and had great coffee and muffin. Brigitte sure knows her coffee. We were told that this place had been closed for 10 years and just reopened 2 yrs. ago - very nice boutique hotel (which we usually prefer from chain hotels). The only down side is the size of the rooms but if we had stayed longer, we would have asked for a larger suite which I think they have but not sure. Will def return.

After searching - without luck - for a place to stay at the usual spots in St. Petersburg for one night, found this place on the net. Lucky us, they had one room left. Comfy, cozy, clean and really nice staff. Will stay here whenever we are in St. Pete which occurs on a regular basis. Minor disappointments, no hair dryer, only 1 washcloth were addressed quickly. TheTap room seemed really neat. Unfortunately , depending on one's perspective, it was too crowded to get served one of their craft ales so we had to go eleswhere. Next time!

The hotel and restaurant staff are top notch! Don't stay here if you want an anonymous, bland hotel experience. The proprietors, front desk staff, and bar staff will remember you, greet you each time you make eye contact, and are always asking if there is anything they can do for you. Similarly loving attention has been paid to all the other details too, from the hand-painted ceiling in the Tap Room, to the eclectic-but-chic lobby decor and fireplace, to the fun decor and seating on the stairway landings, to the gleaming polish of the hardwood floors. The rooms are comfortable and livable, with similar careful touches - fridge, openable windows, plenty of plug-ins, cool bathtub, plenty of chairs and closet space (although not the walk-in closet that the website promises). The Tap House restaurant in the lobby is always hopping, and the clientele is a real blend of ages, locals doing "destination dining," out-of-towner hotel guests, families, singles, and couples of all sorts. Despite the live music at the bar, the rooms are plenty quiet with the windows closed (open windows = traffic noise). Without realizing, I tried to check in early (I'd been traveling since 3 am, so it felt like mid-afternoon to me). One of the proprietors at the front desk went to "check to see if the room was ready." When he returned 15 minutes later to report that it was, I realized that he had been preparing the room so that I could check in. Wow - what service! Downsides: there is not (yet) a functional workout room, and the housekeeping staff don't seem to know that towels on the floor means "I want a clean one, please." Nonetheless, I'd stay here again in a heartbeat - these guys are great and the room was exactly what I wanted. If only I had a third hand, I could say "three thumbs up!"
