The English Inn of Charlottesville

The English Inn of Charlottesville is a true diamond in the rough. Tucked away off Emmett Street, it is a quaint and charming gem of a place! The location is strategically convenient - close to UVA, shopping, dining, Church - easy to get in and out of, just steps away from Bodo's Bagels. The staff - front desk, housekeeping, dining room - are quietly pleasant and professional. Exceptional and generous hot and cold breakfast choices, including an array of beverages, fruit - all beautifully presented and quite delicious. The rooms are lovely, clean, comfortable. Excellent Wifi service. Beautiful indoor swimming pool. I was traveling for work, and my stay at the English Inn made the whole week much easier due to all the wonderful amenities and the attentive staff. I will definitely return to the English inn on my next visit to Charlottesville.

The facility is charming and close to the hospital. It is also within walking distance of many shops and restaurants so if you're staying multiple days there is plenty to do and see. They provide a lovely breakfast, have a adequate exercise room and have lots of charming common areas to relax in if you don't want to spend all your downtime in your room.

We had a spacious one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette. Breakfast had a good assortment of hot and cold foods, but as in most hotels in the US, there was nothing except fruit for a gluten-free vegan. Also, they use plastic utensils and disposable bowls, plates, and cups, which creates a tremendous amount of waste every day. Since we had a kitchen in our room, I was able to bring my own bowl and spoon for the gluten-free granola and oat milk I brought with me so as not to create any waste myself. A kitchen staff member kindly gave me ice for my water bottle. The front desk staff was helpful as well.

I travel to Charlottesville regularly to visit my daughter who is a trainee with Charlottesville ballet. In October I discovered the English Inn and now I would not stay anywhere else anymore. The price is great and the Inn has a special flavor (fireplace, tea and cookies, etc.) Breakfast is also a cut above what one normally gets at a hotel and the breakfast staff (especially James, but the lady also), personable without being intrusive. The location is excellent for my needs. It is only a few minutes away from where my daughter and her roommate live.

I loved this hotel! Nowadays, hotels seem to charge extra for every little thing. You're lucky to have complimentary hand soaps in the bathrooms. But the English Inn goes above and beyond. The beds were comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, every member of staff we interacted with was friendly, the pool was great. I would absolutely stay here again. It was conveniently located to attractions, stores, and food.
