Great breakfast and location. Located in a quiet historical neighborhood it is just down the road from the Martin House, Delaware Park, and the Buffalo Zoo. Chris was friendly and so accommodating. The house itself is beautiful inside and out, while still feeling very cozy. Highly recommended! Will definitely stay again. read more

Wow. I had no idea this place was in the area. Such a nice idea to stay in a B&B instead of a hotel. Especially if you want to be in the area of the Darwin Martin house, Delaware Park, the zoo etc. Chris, the proprietor, is great. We were able to get in the room early and put some fresh flowers down for our guest. We were able to arrive late as well without issue. The room we saw is huge with an en suite bathroom. Windows open easily. Nice heavy curtains allowing for a dark room for sleeping off jet lag. Breakfast was at 8:30 and very nice. Fresh breads and fruit, quiche, coffee or tea. You get the idea. This place seems to get return guests and sells out in advance so plan early if possible. Parking is street. read more

Chris and his three lovable doggies are welcoming hosts. I stayed in the Woodward Room, which faces the tranquil Woodward Avenue. It was beautiful and spacious. The Parkside House is located within walking distance to the Martin House Complex designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. I strongly suggest a tour of the property. I stayed only one night, but I look forward to spending more nights here when I'm back in town. read more

Great Buffalo B&B! One of the best neighborhoods in Buffalo and the neighborhood is on the national registrar of historic places. All beautiful early 1900 homes. Walking distance to two Frank Lloyd Wright houses - Darwin Martin (open for tours) and the Davidson House (privately owned). Also close to Hertel Avenue - lots of boutique shops, antiques, restaurants, and bars. Owners are so hospitable and provide great recommendations of things to do in Buffalo. Pricing is better than most hotels and you get a great breakfast with an intimate Buffalo experience. Highly recommend it if coming to Buffalo or if you just want a weekend getaway within your own city! read more

The Parkside House - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Buffalo, New York

The excellence of this B&B begins with the host. Chris was amazing, welcoming us graciously during the late hours of the evening to accommodate our spontaneous trip through the area. We felt so incredibly fortunate to have found a gorgeous B&B run by such a kind, generous man. The home itself is a beautiful sight to behold. Chris has created the perfect atmosphere with elegant decor and classic historic charm. We stayed in the Jewett Room and were pleasantly greeted with a pristinely clean room and bathroom (which has a walk in shower, claw foot bath, plush towels, hair dryer, etc.) We woke to the sweet smell of breakfast Chris cooked for his guests: stuffed French toast with fresh berry sauce and bacon. Delicious! So was the coffee! Please don't hesitate to stay at the Parkside House. It is such a treat. You won't regret it! read more

See all

We are local Buffalonians, so to find such a wonderful place in our own backyard was a treat! A home away from home, we spent two days here celebrating our anniversary. Chris is delightful and greeted us immediately with bright eyes and a happy smile! The room was perfect, with a beautifully tiled stand up shower and plenty of charm. Breakfast was AMAZING both mornings. First we enjoyed mascarpone stuffed french toast with fruit and sausage. The next day we ate quiche and fruit. In the evening the house smelled of whatever deliciousness Chris was cooking up! Meeting and sharing breakfast with Chris and the other guests was fun and immediately led to new friendships! It's within walking distance to the historical Darwin Martin (Frank Lloyd Wright) house, Delaware Park, Buffalo Zoo, Hertel Ave, and we enjoyed an amazing dinner at Ristorante Lombardos. Thank you Chris!! And lovely meeting our house mates Mary and Fred and Linda and Gary! From Melissa and George! read more

We loved it here! Chris is a gracious host and a great breakfast chef. The house is beautiful, the room comfortable and, at least in our room, the bathroom was awesome, claw foot tub, huge shower with wall and rain spouts. Great location, easy parking, lovely neighborhood. Friendly, well appointed with many Frank Lloyd Wright touches. The front porch was a lovely place to relax before heading to one of the great restaurants Chris would recommend. Walking distance to the Martin House and Olmsted Park. read more

What a lovely spot for a quick getaway! A beautiful house in a great location - a pretty neighbourhood, very convenient to the Darwin Martin House, and quick to get to the Albright Knox and Burchfield Penney Centre. Also a short walk to Little Italy for shopping and dining. It was so pleasant to walk into this pretty, air-conditioned home after a long hot drive! And lovely to relax on the front porch swing with a newspaper and a cup of fresh-brewed coffee. Breakfast was marcarpone-stuffed french toast with berries, sausage, and a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Only disappointment was that my room had a shower and not a bathtub - my fault for not reading the description more closely! Will definitely stay here again next time I am in Buffalo. read more

It's very inviting and safe. In a great neighborhood and the owners are so considerate. Wouldn't want to have stayed anywhere else

The Parkside House is located on the north side of Buffalo in a 19th century residential area designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, just a few blocks from Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House complex and the Buffalo Zoo. Situated in a beautifully restored 19th century duplex, it provides a great location to explore the city with the help of its owners' encyclopedic knowledge of art, culture, and food. Our bedroom was large, cool, and quiet. The bathroom was elegant, the breakfasts delicious, and the guests sophisticated. The high point of our stay was a Saturday night musicale in the front parlor. read more

We were going to Buffalo to help an old friend with a down-sizing house move into a very small apartment. So we had to stay somewhere else for the first time. I wanted to try for a small hotel, and the Parkside House looked and sounded right, so we booked it from Toronto before we headed down to the States. It was the right choice. A comfy bedroom with a spacious bathroom, and Chris made a delicious breakfast for us Sunday morning. We'll stay there again next time we're State-side. An excellent b&b with a really nice vibe! read more

We enthusiastically recommend Parkside House. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious, and the neighborhood is a treat to walk through. The house itself of course is a gem.. Thanks for a lovely stay! read more

A lovely place to stay with a most gracious host. Quiet neighborhood with good food nearby. Breakfast was yummy with a moist homemade quiche and fresh fruit. read more

This is a wonderful B&B. Second time I have stayed there and everything was perfect --the delightful room, the quiet and welcoming atmosphere, the delicious breakfast, Chris's great hospitality! I brought two friends who stayed in the other two rooms this time and we all thought this was one of the best B&Bs ever! And we plan to come back soon with our spouses as well as with friends again. read more

My partner and I had a very nice stay here. Our host, Chris, was very hospitable, and the location was great. We recommend the Jewett Room for the beautiful bathroom. read more

My fiance and I traveled to Buffalo in October and stayed at The Parkside House for the weekend. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay. I will admit, while I enjoyed it, my fiance did not enjoy it quite as much. I think, however, this is just because bed & breakfast wasn't her style. It had nothing to do with quality of our stay. Pros- The owner, Chris, was very kind, and proved to be a great cook. I only ate there on Saturday morning (we had to leave early Sunday morning, so we did not stay for breakfast). The quiche was fantastic. Chris even kept my fiance's breakfast warm, and gave me a tray to take it to her (she likes to sleep in on weekends, and takes hours to get ready, so she knew she wouldn't be ready to go down to breakfast at 8:30!) We stayed in the Woodward Room, which was very large, clean, newly renovated, and comfortable. It had a large king bed, a wall-mounted TV (with only a few channels), a nice view of the road, a large closet, bathroom, and two large couches. We were about a 15 minute drive from downtown Buffalo, which is where we spent most of our time. (The town of Buffalo is incredibly boring, FYI, but that is unrelated!) Cons- While our actual room was nice and newly renovated, the rest of the house felt very old to us (which some people may find charming, but it wasn't quite our style). The rest of the house had an odd smell, which just reminded me of an "old" smell, but our room smelled fine. Another con was that we felt like we always needed to be very quiet. This is definitely a pro if you are looking for a very quiet stay, but to us, we felt like we had to whisper when we were in our rooms, and tip-toe as we walked around. We stayed out in Buffalo on Fri/Sat night until after midnight, and when we returned, the doors were loud when we opened them, the floorboards and stairs creaked, and you can hear everything people say in other rooms/hallways, and every time people move. Also the key to get into your room is a skeleton key, so even though we tried to be quiet, we knew we disrupted other guests as we jingled the key in the door when coming in. Another con was that our bathroom, while beautiful, was very small. We felt like we could barely move around, and I had to keep the bathroom door open when I showered because the small room became so overheated after just a few minutes. Overall, I recommend it to others, especially if you're looking for something quiet and relaxing. As a younger person, it wasn't quite my style, but I still enjoyed it. read more

It saddens me to write this but I look to reviews when choosing a place to stay. We were very disappointed with our overnight stay. We have stayed in many B&Bs but The Parkside House just did not impress. The musty odor when we walked in the door was disturbing. Where was the delightful odor of fresh bread or cookies baking? The main rooms were not welcoming at all. Our room needed a window air conditioner for comfort. It was loud and as it cycled during the night it woke us up. When we sat on the bed,it creaked loudly and the pillows were like rocks! Breakfast was not good. Scrambled eggs, bacon, frozen home fry patties, dry toast, some fresh fruit, juice and coffee. Perhaps we are spoiled by previous wonderful experiences. Room rates are pricey and we expected an enjoyable visit but that was not the case. In closing---no tissues in the room ---come on that's pretty basic. read more
