My previous trip to Buffalo had me in a big soulless hotel downtown. I was not making that mistake again. I stumbled upon this place and am I ever glad. The location is absolutely perfect in the heart of Elmwood Village and surrounded by great shops and restaurants. The common areas of the inn are beautiful and very inviting. I... More

Karen has the loveliest of homes, her personality and charm was beyond expectation. The Inn was beautiful, clean, the fresh, home made baked goods were delicious and you could just imagine every little piece of furniture and art work has a story. We look forward to coming again, thank you for making us feel so welcome! the Baptista's More

My wife and I came through Buffalo on our way to Ithaca, and loved this place so much! The house is eclectically decorated, and we stayed in the Middle East room and the room and the bathroom were clean and spacious. Karen's recommendations and breakfasts were always right-on, and she even gave us walking routes and suggested places for us... More

We spent a very pleasant three nights in the Master Suite of the Elmwood Village Inn. The front room looks out the main street, while the bedroom has windows on the adjoining side street. Temperatures were comfortable enough, and the streets were quiet enough, that we could sleep with the windows open and the AC off. Our arrival coincided with... More

This is a beautifully furnished and run Inn right in the middle of the lovely Elmwood Village neighborhood, within walking distance of excellent restaurants, art, coffee, shops and street life. Karen, the owner, is very helpful, gives great recommendations and bakes delicious muffins, too! Our room was lovely and the bathroom was luxurious..... More

My boyfriend and I stayed together here for an extended stay, we stayed one week in the "Middle Room" and one week in the "Middle Eastern Room." I can't say enough about how nice Karen was, we are new to town and she gave us so many tips on where to go (and where to avoid)! She was around in... More

Finding this near-perfect gem is one of the reasons I love TripAdvisor. Seeing Hanu House as the clear top-rated Buffalo B&B gave me hope that I might avoid a chain or a boutique "wanna be" while overnighting in Buffalo. Wow - what a payoff. What you need to know is that for any seasoned traveler this is a 5-star experience.... More

A friend searched the web to find this B&B and what a delight it was to stay here! First of all it does not have a sign, just a house number that is very LARGE, so be sure you have the address when you go. And it is no longer Grey & White, I believe it is an orangy color... More

What a wonderful place to stay in Buffalo. The Honu House is exactly what I look for in a B&B. It was comfortable, clean and in a perfect location. Karen, the owner, quickly learned of our enthusiasm for the city of Buffalo and offered many good ideas about things we might enjoy. We could walk to many of them because... More
