Old Northside Bed & Breakfast

very close to downtown. old school B&B!

We stayed in the Literary Room, and it was amazing. The king bed was super comfortable and the jet bath tub made for two was super relaxing before bedtime. And Danny, our host, was amazing and super accommodating. From nightlife recommendations to the history of the bed and breakfast, you could ask him anything about the area, and he was quick to respond. He made a really good fluffy quiche for breakfast, too. I would highly recommend this place!

Gary is a wonderful host!

Gary was a fantastic B&B host who totally accommodated my dietary needs as a runner

Nice quiet place to stay in a good neighborhood. The location was great for our itinerary.

The Bed and Breakfast was wonderful! It was a beautifully decorated antique home with a lot of character. We had a terrific breakfast and Gary was a very gracious host. We'll definitely be back!

Gary is a wonderful host and cook! His baking kept our late night munchies happy. Best B&B! We loved the attention to detail and we never ran out of walls to explore. Don’t pass this one up!!

Nice will stay again

The owner was so hospitable and attentive to every need

Absolutely incredible host and beautiful unique property. Definitely a hidden gem in Indianapolis!

The immediate area is an older neighborhood but beyond a couple of blocks it deteriorates quickly. The quaint front entry is apparently for show as you enter the premises from a rear alley parking area. We arrived at the property and were given a brief tour by the proprietor. His highlight included showing us 3000+ DVD and VHS videos that we could use. We needed to schedule our breakfast time 24 hours in advance. Guest rooms can be locked from the inside but you cannot secure your belongings when you are not on the premises since there are no room keys.

My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend here. It was super cool staying in a historic home. The owner was very nice and gave us a tour of the home sharing it’s history. If you are a movie lover then you will love the hundreds (I’m not exaggerating) of movies you can borrow to enjoy in your room during your stay. The room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The shower had really nice water pressure with plenty of hot water. The host provided plenty of free bottles of water and soda in the shared fridge. He made several kinds of homemade cookies that were very yummy. The breakfast was very good offering a hot dish every morning along with cereal, toast, bagels, doughnuts, and even homemade banana nut bread! We really enjoyed our stay. I do want to say that Expedia says the Children’s Museum is walking distance. It is NOT. It is a very short drive and the museum has free parking if that is where you are planning to visit. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe to walk during the day. It is walkable to Massachusetts Avenue during the day where there are a lot of little shops and fantastic restaurants. But, as a person who is from Indianapolis, after dark it is not walkable but a very short drive (with plenty of parking) or Uber ride to Mass Ave and downtown Indianapolis. I highly recommend this BnB. My husband and I really enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again.

Old Northside Historical District, hence the name. Coffee, restaurants, bars, all within a mile or less walking distance. Parking behind the building. It's a very old home (1880s) with creaking floors, a narrow staircase, etc., so if that kind of stuff is a bother, you might choose elsewhere. Otherwise, you'll enjoy your stay here, much more than a hotel in the downtown area. Gary is a terrific host who likes to bake. The breakfasts are fantastic and he has homemade cookies to snack all day. You don't need to order dessert when you go out to eat. He also has hundreds of movies to watch on the big-screen in your room (along with streaming services) if you choose to stay in or make it an early night. And he's an entertaining conversationalist. Honestly, I felt like a boarder as much I did a hotel guest.

Exceptional service and such a gracious host; Gary. He met us when we arrived, walked us through amenities and showed us to our Roma which were quite nicely appointed.

Gary was a fabulous host and served a wonderful breakfast . I’d be sure to stay here again my next visit to Indianapolis.

Wonderful respite for our trip back home. Gary was very friendly. Breakfast was tasty.

My stay was a delight. The building is a wonderful old Victorian house in the historic Old Northside neighborhood. Gary was wonderful host, very hospitable without be intrusive. Would definitely stay there again.

Didn’t like the stairs! Bed and room quite comfortable!

Absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best bnb experiences. Gary (owner) made sure that all of our needs were met even before we could think of them as needs. Woke up before we did to make my partner and I breakfast with fresh fruit, and plenty of other options to choose from. The house itself has so much history, his quick tour itself draws you in! 10/10 will be visiting again.
