Oyster Review Summary
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators.
Pros
- Beautiful, historic hotel with large windows, mahogany finishes, and crystal chandeliers
- Great location in the Historic District
- Free breakfast, served in the dining room or brought to your room
- All rooms feature antique furniture and working fireplaces
- Free cocktail hour and dessert every night
- Free Wi-Fi
- Free parking (almost unheard of in Savannah!)
- 24-hour concierge
Cons
- No elevators
- No fitness center
- Some bathrooms are small
- Some flat-screen TVs are small and placed in awkward corners
Bottom Line
Comprised of two historic mansions surrounded by lush foliage, the historic Gastonian has the B&B feel down to a tee. Each of the 17 rooms features antique furniture and a working fireplace, and free breakfast is served every morning, either downstairs or directly in your room. This upscale B&B lacks the amenities of larger hotels -- there is no fitness center and no elevator -- but modern perks like free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs make this 19th-century property feel up to date.

Location
On a street lined with beautiful old homes in the Historic District, blocks from Forsyth Park
Savannah's Historic District packs plenty of restaurants and bars, most within a short walking distance from The Gastonian, which stands on a street lined with beautiful old homes. The famous Forsyth Park is one block west, and other outdoor spaces can be found just minutes from the front door.
Savannah's charming Historic District is filled with numerous parks and well-kept, architecturally-stunning historic buildings. The nightlife isn't as lively here as in other big Southern cities, but many of Savannah's bars (like infamous Pinkie Master's) are in the Historic District -- mostly thanks to the young crowd from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
The Historic District is bordered by the Savannah River and Forsyth Park, and includes the Riverfront and Market City areas.
