We were ungraded to an inside room because they were somewhat empty and the storm Debby was going by that night. Very nice, clean room and very comfortable bed. Breakfast is included at the main floor restaurant with incredible food cooked to order. Well worth the extra money. Free parking was included in the parking structure behind the hotel. It is also located across the street from UVA hospital.

A charming historic property with thoughtful, engaging hosts. My room was just gorgeous, furnished with antiques and an incredibly comfortable bed. The bathroom was equipped w/ both a walk-in shower and a huge old-fashioned bathtub (a must for me). And the breakfast was beyond delicious, with choices, hot and cold, to suit every taste. I could not recommend this place more highly.

The dinsmore is a cute historic house that has been converted into a boutique hotel with a brunch restaurant. You get meals included in your reservation and I recommend eating at the restaurant—super tasty! Apparently has won awards for their Sunday brunch. The hotel has beautiful rooms that have old character and charm but are updated to modern standards. Be aware you do have to climb steps with your suitcases, it does not appear to be ada friendly which was not an issue for us but being that it is a converted old house it does not seem to have elevators or ramps to the upstairs room accommodations.

The whole experience at the Dinsmore from the friendly text before we arrived to the check out was excellent. The room was very nice and the breakfast at tge Farm Bell very tasty. So much better than your run of the mill hotel experience. We highly recommend!

Great Place to Stay in Charlottesville
We enjoyed our short, 1 night stay at the Dinsmore. Great location, a short walk, close to restaurants and the University. Hotel is a historic building but well maintained, clean and modern. Great service, made us feel very warm and comfortable. A terrific restaurant and breakfast, we recommend it highly.

Considering the facts, the historical area (including the building for this inn), the hospitality, the breakfast, and the clean room---we couldn't find a better place and it also did not cost an arm or a leg! The price is pretty reasonable.

Loved it !
Beginning of the booking process to checking in was amazing, both Jake and Vanessa were very attentive and helpful. Vanessa checked us in and even helped carry my bag to the room. The room was spacious and and beautiful and I was excited to stay in this wonderful bed-and-breakfast. The breakfast was amazing and so was the service. I would definitely come here again.

This is a really cute property. The manager Jake was really helpful and assisted us in making brunch reservations at the Inn's restaurant. Our room was very large, clean and was beautifully decorated. We were in Room #1. The only downside was that the restaurant below our room was fairly loud. If you want to sleep in, it is not the place for you to stay.
