    The main house
    Megan M.

    The mansions on Fifth are, first of all, gorgeous inside and out. Upon arrival, I was met by a staff member who held the door for me and asked if I required help with any luggage. He then explained some history of the property when I began asking questions about it. I felt very welcomed right away. Check-in was simple and prompt. I stayed in the Amberson house, which is located next to the main building. My room was on the second floor. I could hear some people upstairs during my stay, but it was muffled and not loud at all so I was unbothered. The room has plenty of natural lighting, equipped with all my needs. I felt very safe here. I wish the bathtub had a functional plug so I could have taken a bath, but the shower worked wonderfully so it's not an issue. There is light traffic outside, nothing crazy, so it still felt calm inside. They offered breakfast for $15/person, which I declined. Check-out was also quick and easy. Overall, I would certainly recommend. I hope to return and hear the piano of the main house played sometime.

    Absolute stunning hotel! What a gem!! From the exterior majesty to the interior history , there is no other place like this. The bar is phenomenal and Lisa the bartender is the sweetest most knowledgeable mixologist. You can sit by the fireplaces while listening to live music. And enjoy a fine relaxing evening.

    Lovely, large inviting room with King bed and fireplace.

    I can't say enough good things. Our room is inviting and warm. It's very large and roomy. It suits two people perfectly. But, people don't know that this hotel serves breakfast and dinner. Oh my! It's so good! Perfect fillet, risotto and asparagus! The rose champagne went perfectly and they gave us a glass to start. This was all done in a very private atmosphere. Dinner was five courses and served by the fire. Then breakfast was just as good. You must try the French toast! There's a heavenly strawberry maple syrup. The whole breakfast cost as much as a Bob Evans breakfast but was the quality of the Ritz! Perfect Valentine's Day!

    Lobby

    I was pleasantly surprised by this small hotel. I liked that it was in a mansion and within walking distance to Phipps Conservatory and the Carnegie museums (both about a 15 minute walk from the hotel). The lobby area is beautifully furnished. Check-in was fast with friendly staff to help with any questions. There is a full bar on site which serves drinks and a few small munchies but no restaurant or room service was available. The bartender was kind enough to give me some help with the local food options. She even went so far as to draw me a small map so I could easily locate the restaurants. (Thanks so much for the extra effort. It was greatly appreciated!) The walk to nearby Shadyside was only about 10 minutes. There were restaurants and bars available plus some shops. The area is safe so I didn't feel uncomfortable walking in late evening. The rooms were clean and modern with standard amenities. I did like that housekeeping service was optional. At check-in, you were asked to chose the type of housekeeping service you would like during your stay. I was only staying in the hotel for two nights so opted out of housekeeping service. My only real complaint was the lack of parking for the hotel. There is off street parking which is good since the hotel sits on a busy street, but the amount of parking is very limited. I only saw eight actual parking spaces. Three of these spaces were not available due to on-site construction. The overflow parking is basically anywhere along the perimeter of the property next to the fence. This is not enough parking for the amount of rooms available. I didn't appreciate having to park in a location where my car could easily by damaged. With the exception of the parking, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and would stay again when visiting Pittsburgh.

    I attended a wedding here (please note I did not stay here overnight) and this is a lovely location. Absolutely beautiful historic feeling location and the staircase on the interior will make for wonderful photos. The space in front of the stair case would make for a lovely dance floor or entertaining space. Very versatile. Things to note: I don't believe there is a restroom on main floor, I had to go down to the basement. Also note that this space might not be the best for a large wedding reception and your guests will have walls between them, separating them...would be lovely for a more intimate affair though. I loved the bar area, easily accessible through more than one door, decently large. Was quite dark in that room though

    Sunday brunch
    Eva R.

    Came here for Sunday Brunch with friends. The mansion is beautiful on the outside and inside. When you walk in the lobby is where the buffet is located. In the center, there are hot and cold foods such as pancakes, french toast, breakfast meats, pasta, chicken, seafood, etc. Then, there is an omelet station and a desert station. I started off with a savory plate first and really enjoyed the gnocchi and chicken croquette. The seafood bake, vegetables, and potatoes were all average. Then, I went back to have a pancake and french toast and some chocolate mouse. The pancake was cold and not soft. The french toast though was very good. It was made with amaretto bread. Overall, I enjoyed the brunch, because I had never been here. However, for the price I do not know if it is worth it. The food is good but nothing extraordinary.

    I made reservations for brunch this past Sunday only to receive a call that they were not providing brunch on this particular Sunday, only breakfast. Which after reading a few reviews, probably was a good thing! I started with a Bellini that was yummy, and I found out later when I got my bill part of their breakfast cocktail special. +1 I ordered the omelette with truffle oil and drunken goat cheese. Overall it was OK, the truffle oil was not overpowering but to me I would have preferred that it was. :) I forgot to mention that we started our meal with complimentary crab cakes and asparagus +100 the crab cakes were awesome and so was the grilled asparagus! We ended the meal with complimentary chocolate mousse cups! In total we spent almost 3 hours in this beautiful old house and we probably could have stayed longer!! Walking from floor to floor you're treated to beautiful art and amazing architecture that you just really can't find anymore. What a treat and a delight to have in Pittsburgh!!

    Bedroom 1204

    My boyfriend surprised me this Valentines weekend with a night's stay at The Mansions. If, like me, you love history and have a strong appreciation for restorations, this is the hotel for you. If, however, you are looking for the most modern of amenities you may not appreciate your stay as much. All of the staff were more than accommodating. Upon our arrival we were greeted by, not one or two, but THREE valets! After checking in, one escorted us to our room. We stayed in 1204... King sized bed, walk in closet, huge bathroom with a walk in shower, rain forest shower head and handheld shower head too! Everything from the painted ceiling to the original stained glass windows made this room charming, cozy, and luxurious. For the most part the room was very clean and there were plenty of towels. One problem we did have was with the hotel boasting about their "luxurious" linens. The comforter, although down and very soft, had multiple stains all over it. The sheets were super soft but had holes in them and the edges of the pillow cases were frayed. The bed itself was extremely comfortable. Since these are original windows and it was the coldest night of the year, you could feel the cold air coming in through the windows. But the staff was one step ahead and already had a space heater set up and running. Traffic could also be heard all night through the windows, but this did not bother us. Technology was not this hotels strong point as our room phone didn't work, the TV worked for 30 minutes Sunday morning before the cable seemingly cut out. BUT my boyfriend and I were not here for technology, we were here to relax and soak in the ambience, which was A plus. When we explored, we found the chapel and beautiful original artwork in every wall. A fire crackled and the soft sound of contemporary piano music from the live pianist filled the lobby. We sat on the chairs on the landing watching couples arrive for dinner and listening to the music. It was so relaxing. You should make note, no refrigerators are provided in room. I saw a footman bringing one to a room, not sure if this is at an additional cost. While we're on a list of things that aren't included, the valet parking is $11. Contrary to the website, coffee and rolls are NOT provided in the morning for guests, which is very disappointing for a 4 star hotel. At least have carafes of coffee in the lobby for guests. My boyfriend asked how much to get it delivered to our room $12 min charge. He then asked if he could just get one cup and was charged $4. There are also no ice machines on the premises. Overall we had an extremely pleasant stay, it is just the small details that need a little more work and this place would be exceptional! If you're looking to be transported back into time and have a relaxing, romantic evening this is the place! Give your 4 star guests more amenities for the price!!!

    Should have been charming, but was not. Room was dreary and not comfortable. Full price without full service.

Everything from the sandwiches to the scones to the sweets were tasty. They weren't the fanciest I've experienced at afternoon tea but they were good! That being said, they advertise it as high tea which is NOT correct. That's an entirely different thing (more of a supper) and is not interchangeable with "afternoon tea." What they have here is afternoon tea and I wish they would advertise it as such. Aside from that pet peeve of mine, using the wrong terminology, it's a nice spot and I would recommend it if you're in the area.

You get a perfect 19th century setting, which makes for the perfect ambiance. For the tea, I had green tea and hot cinnamon, and both were excellent! The cinnamon takes the cake for best tea with excellent flavor, especially with the hints or orange. Our food was delectable. The pimento cheese sandwich and crostini were fantastic. The chicken salad stuffed gouger was divine. The scones were the best I've had. Crunchy on the outside, while warm and fluffy in the middle. I could have eaten ten of the cinnamon scones. Excellent cheesecake and cream puff. The star of the show was chocolate mousse on a pecan crust. Just yum!!! Phenomenal service, tea, and food made for a wonderful afternoon high tea!! We will be back.

You will get a feel for what it might have been like when Westinghouse and Telsa took strolls together in the Point Breeze neighborhood and see wonderful front yard gardens, and old style homes that are breathtaking.

The home itself is a beautiful 1880 Victorian, which adds a lot of character to the experience. We stayed in the third-floor east view room and overall had a good stay. The space was clean, comfortable, and the bathroom was well kept. The only downside was the bed placement--it's positioned in the corner, and both of us ended up with a few bruises on our knees from the bed frame, which was a bit inconvenient. It's also pet-friendly, which was great for our dog. He did well overall, but being a senior, the stairs were a bit much for him after a while. Breakfast was simple with options like cereal, oatmeal, bananas, apples, tea, and coffee. It was fine, though we were expecting a more traditional bed-and-breakfast style meal with a bit more variety. If I owned the property, I'd love to add a front deck to make the outdoor space even more inviting.
