    This place is a gem. It’s not flashy, but it’s comfortable and charming enough to make it my new go-to. I really appreciated the updated architecture; it gives the whole building a unique, modern personality. Best of all, it’s a peaceful retreat from the surrounding city noise while still being just steps away from the main attractions.

    Exceptional service truly pet friendly and spotless!!! I had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Flat Iron Hotel. From the moment we arrived at mid-night the service was impeccable and every staff member was warm attentive and genuinely courteous. What really stood out was the treatment of my dog. They went above and beyond to make him feel welcome and comfortable which means everything to me as a pet owner. This is true pet friendly hospitality done right. The hotel itself was spotless beautifully maintained and thoughtfully run. You can tell there is real pride in the level of service and care provided. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Asheville especially if you are traveling with a furry companion. I will absolutely be back.

    This was a great place to stay. It was like stepping back in time to the 1920's. The rooms were very clean and cozy. Not very big but for a building from that period it is very cozy. I will stay here again when visiting Asheville. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Thank you Flat Iron for a enjoyable stay.

    My wife and I stayed over Christmas and were delighted. Built in 1926, this beautifully maintained and restored hotel is in the middle of downtown Asheville. The location is great, walking distance to good restaurants and interesting shopping. The beds are magnificently comfortable. Each floor has its own coffee, ice, and drinks room. While the idea of ground coffee in a teabag may be off-putting, don’t worry. They make some of the best coffee I have ever had – smooth and delicious. While there is a modern elevator, the two 1920’s vintage elevators are still operating, and if you’re lucky, you might snag a ride in one of them. There are wonderful restaurants on the ground floor, the speakeasy in the basement, and the Flat Iron Rooftop. Best of all is the wonderfully friendly, very professional staff. They all, from front desk and bellmen to housekeeping, make the extra effort to be attentive, smiling, and sincerely helpful. A great experience I hope to repeat someday.

    Overall the experience was good not great. We were assigned a king room which had a nice side room with a couch and tv. Our shower leaked horribly, so much so that we only took one shower during the length of our stay. Evidently the staff and manager knew of the faulty shower never told us about it and assigned us the room anyway. The staff was very nonchalant when we told them of the problem. It was a disappointment to have a room where we could not shower without flooding the bathroom and the hotel management knowing it was a problem. We went to the hotel speakeasy one evening and left after 45 minutes because we never saw a server. Again mentioned this to the front desk and received a half hearted sorry. Not sure I would recommend this hotel to a friend.
