I was Very Disappointed! They seemed more annoyed that they had a guest on Sunday(I was the only guest there). I came downstairs Monday morning 06:15 for coffee, it was cold. (Leftover from Saturday morning). At the VERY LEAST someone could have made coffee! So, I decided to go ahead and leave. I didn't even stay for breakfast, i just figured it would be just as disappointing. It would have been nice if one of the two young men working could have helped me carry my bags up 3 flights of stairs. The place was beautiful, too bad I had a bad experience. read more

Cute place with a large bedroom and comfortable bed. This is an old Victorian home located close walking distance to downtown Pensacola. We only stayed a night so we had a place to stay after dinner and a show at the Saenger theater. We enjoyed our evening on the front porch rocking in the rocking chairs with a nice bottle of wine. Before our show we enjoyed listening to Christmas music in the sitting room by the Christmas tree. The only issue is you can't leave a voicemail if you need anything and they do not answer the text they ask you to do. They didn't answer our emails either. We had to go find the innkeeper, open a door that said innkeeper only and knock on another door. We felt bad about that but the spoke alarm in our room kept beeping every 3 minutes. The innkeeper was very sweet and helpful! read more

What a delightful, beautifully Victorian B&B! My room, the Captains Quarters, was clean and cozy, breakfast was perfectly yummy, and the hostess, Barbee, treated me like a queen. I will return to this quaint B&B!! It is within walking distance from shops, bars, and restaurants. Highly recommended!!!!!! read more

Beautiful and authentic. Very friendly. Loved it. We were there for 2 nights for an out patient surgery my husband had to undergo, and I had a zoom meeting I facilitated in between. Breakfast was delicious and was a good opportunity to get acquainted with other guests and hostess, all were so friendly yet not invasive in anyway. All in all it was real homey yet elegant and historical. Everything was so interesting to look at. The house itself is so beautiful to behold. read more

How do you properly review a place that was essentially your home away from home for four days and had all the comforts that you could hope to expect for the perfect stay? While planning our vacation, we decided we wanted to stay at a bed and breakfast, rather than a hotel. We figured the stay would be more personal and we would save a few dollars on top of it. On the day we arrived, we were immediately greeted by Barbee, one of the innkeepers, and given a tour.of the gorgeous house. Everything about the house is beautiful and cozy. The living room is welcoming with lovely vintage decor, music playing faintly on the radio and even things to read. The dining room is always stocked with coffee or a sweet treat and the fridge is stocked with soft drinks and water. After the house tour, we were shown the room. We were in Suzanne's room which came complete with a bathroom and it's own little dining area. The room was beautiful with plenty of light flowing in, a day bed, a desk and plenty of room to unpack and stretch out. I was so happy! Barbee asked what time we wanted breakfast and the next day we came down, told Barbee "good morning" and she presented us with a delicious homemade breakfast of eggs, biscuits, bacon and fruit. Barbee was so sweet and made us feel right at home and welcome. Everything was top notch from start to finish and I loved staying here. We were the perfect distance from downtown Pensacola (5 minutes or so) and we were about 15 minutes from the beach. Extra bonus points awarded for being close to a coffee shop AND the farmers market. We will absolutely be staying here the next time we are in Pensacola. The rooms are reasonably priced, gorgeous, clean and welcoming. read more

LOVE this place. We were here in May of 2022 for 6 days and had such a great stay that we came back this year for another 6 days!!! Barbie is an awesome host and her breakfasts are amazing !!! Anytime we come back to Pensacola, this will be our first choice to stay. read more

Barbie was kind and the food was good- but there were cockroaches and for the amount of money I paid for just 2 nights was outrageous for staying at a cockroach infested place. I ended up leaving early because I couldn't believe how many there were and the fact that food was being served in this establishment. read more

My husband and I stayed at the Pensacola Victorian B&B in May 2019. This place was great and everything we had hoped for!! The rooms were comfortable and the Inn was within walking distance of downtown and the Blue Wahoos ballpark. Barbee, the host, was very accommodating and cooked a wonderful breakfast. She also had coffee, tea, and snacks available throughout the day. Note that this historic Inn is on a fairly busy street and there was some traffic noise in the morning (weekday), but this was to be expected as this house was built in the late 1800s. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Pensacola!!! read more

I was only able to stay here for one night but I'm so glad I did. I was traveling alone for work but was welcomed by the other guests upon arrival. Barbee had left me a nice note and my room keys, and when I met her the next morning at breakfast it was obvious that her hospitality must have rubbed off on the folks staying there. My room was very large and had everything I needed, including a standup fan which I deployed for white noise "just in case." I was able to walk everywhere I wanted to visit during my short stay, and the WiFi was great when I needed to work. I hope to stay there again the next time I'm in town. read more

This a great Bed and Breakfast and a really good place for a small wedding reception or other function. We stayed here with my brothers and our best man during our wedding. It was great. Barbie, one of the owners, was so sweet. It felt really cool being in a big old house and able to wander around the day after our wedding with family. Our room was really nice and had a clawfoot tub. The only drawback was that one of my brothers got a room that had the bathroom across the hall, not bad if you know all the people staying there, or are used to a B&B, but it could be a shock if you weren't expecting it. It was fun to all of us. read more

In January we stayed here, arriving on a Wednesday night and departing the following Tuesday morning. We booked Suzanne's Room, the priciest of the four, at $150 per night. The house appeared stately from the street, but on closer inspection this property needs some work. It is conveniently located walking distance to downtown and a short drive to Pensacola Beach. The owner and staff were very friendly. We only had the breakfast once, but it was delicious. Parking can be cramped, and an abandoned MG guarded the entrance, complicating the access driveway. There is a café adjacent to the lodging. The U.S. flag flies from a staff at the café, but was left in the dark and the rain at night. There is noticeable city noise, including the sounds of traffic, a yipping dog (perhaps on the premises), and regular freight trains. The floors, advertised as gleaming, were dull, marred, and in need of refinishing. To reach the room we had to ascend three short runs of stairs, which were dangerously unlit. There were gaps in the panels of the door to our room that allowed light to shine through. The lock was suspect and difficult to operate. The floors in the room also needed attention: There was an uncomfortable nail head protruding in front of the TV area, and I removed two splinters from my bare feet during our stay. The room was cluttered, dusty, and downright dirty in places. It was filled with dusty artificial plants and flowers, old furniture, and too many lamps (six and a chandelier). There was limited closet space in an old wardrobe, which had a folded piece of cardboard wedged under one leg and an assortment of used wire hangers. I got a splinter in my hand from the clothes rod. The top of the bottom sash of the window in the desk area was soiled with something that resembled coffee grounds. There was an incredibly small TV, dead batteries in the remote, and often the channels froze or were pixelated. The cast iron footboard blocked the view of the TV from the bed. A streetlight outside the room glared into the room. The free Wi Fi only offered 10 Mbps (checked at 4 a.m. - at home we get 40-60). The bed was squeaky and the iron headboard uncomfortable. The lighting throughout was dusty, broken, or missing bulbs. There was no door to the bathroom. There was, however, a breakfast nook sharing the same space as the tub and toilet. The light fixture above that table was missing a bulb. The toilet ran regularly. The blinds were damaged. The sink was evidently clogged and drained extremely slow, and the light above the sink was too dim to be useful. The claw foot tub was small and needed refinishing. The interior surface was scratched and had a blue stain; the outside had rust. The flimsy shower rod contraption was secured on one end with cotton cord. There was very limited space for shampoo and soap while bathing. There were curious holes in the ceiling with some sort of covers that did not quite seal them. The absolute worst part of our stay was the oppressive heat. It was very cold during our stay - freezing or colder the first four nights. The heat never shut off. The owner told us the heat was either always on or off. We slept with the window open on nights with the temperature in the 20s. When that proved insufficient, we used an oscillating fan. We even ran the window unit AC. On two occasions we slept with the door into the hall area open. We barely managed any sleep during our stay due to the stifling hot air. This property is not well maintained. We spent a little over $1,000 on our stay at the Victorian and were extremely disappointed. ​ read more

Upon arrival we were greeted and given the tour by Barbee, a very nice and funny lady. The room was comfortable and the food was very tasty. There is always coffee, sodas and snacks available for you to help yourself to. The inn is a charming older home and is within walking distance of downtown. This is one of those places where you are made to feel at home and comfortable. We loved rocking on the porch after breakfast before beginning our adventures. We would definitely stay there again. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Really enjoyed our stay. Close to downtown and the ballpark. Easy drive to the Navy base, the beach and other destinations. Feels like home when away from home. Will definitely be back! read more

Nice very clean. Steep stairs to carry heavy luggage. Queen bed is really a small double.

This is the second bed and breakfast experience I've had, so I was a little nervous. The owner was very nice and the house is beautiful. She asked if we had any special needs. The breakfast was fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, and biscuits. We shared the table with another couple and it was nice to get to know them. We stayed in the Elizabeth room. It was clean and decorated with antiques. The bed was hard, but I slept good anyway. There was not a thermostat in the room and it was very hot... Maybe around 75-80 degrees. We turned on the AC unit to combat this. We paid $128 after tax. For the quality of the room compared to available hotels in the area, we got a good deal. Overall I'm pleased with my experience here! read more

My girlfriend and I were in town for a wedding and wanted to be close to downtown for the reception. We stayed for 4 nights and had a great experience. Breakfast was prepared by Barbie every morning an it was delicious. We felt right at home exploring the old home and coming and going as we pleased. Explore the great shopping, dinning, and bars only a few blocks away. We will be back. read more

It's haunted. For real. I lived there from 1990 - 1991 when it was a fraternity house. The ghosts probably haven't relocated since then. If you like that sort of thing, this is the place for you. They haunt the whole thing. I was confronted by one on the upstairs landing. They're in the basement for sure. read more

Barbie was sweet, warm and a great hostess. The only drawbacks were the lack of hot water and creaking of the bed, as you get on it. The bed itself was very comfortable. We all had a restful sleep; enjoyed the use of the board games, books, and rocking chairs. I also enjoyed the 40s-50s jazz and blues music in the parlor. Clean and very charming place. read more

Like Jennifer M., we were nonplussed with the Pensacola Victorian Inn. The inn has a serious problem with deferred maintenance, and I'm convinced the building doesn't meet local building codes for commercial establishments. To get to the front door, from one part of the sidewalk to the other, you have to go up a step, step over a curb, then down a step onto the debris of a cracked cement-over-brick potion of the sidewalk. There was no offer to assist with our luggage. The front stairwell is so poorly lighted that it's difficult to see where you're going after dark. The wallpaper and paint are peeling in the dining room. The air conditioning is substandard and controlled by the innkeepers rather than in each individual room. Our room was lovely and well done, but there was no Kleenex in the room or bath. The downstairs was dusty and dirty, with sparkling and nails visible from long-ignored and long-deferred maintenance projects. The breakfast was slightly over cooked, but was a basic fare of scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. The worst faux pas was a 8:00 at breakfast, the innkeeper asked us to exchange our key with another couple, who had reserved our room for the follow-on night. We were planning to go to the beach, then come back to the inn to clean up and change before checking out at noon! Then she suggested that we just leave our room unlocked while we were out,with our belongings remaining inside. She seemed unconcerned since the "front door would be locked anyway." Lastly, the innkeeper shared with us an article she thought would be of interest from the previous day's local paper. When I commented how my husband would be so interested to read it, she stated that I couldn't take the day-old paper, but would allow me to take a photo of it with my camera phone. There were no ghost sightings, which probably would have been welcomed after the less-than-satisfactory overall visit. BTW, we also stayed in the most-expensive room, and the issues noted by Jennifer M remain unaddressed. read more
