Top Speed Art Museum Hotel Reviews

The Brown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lamps in the room were cracked or broken but holding together"

New! Walk to the Kentucky Derby, U of L Football, and Jim Patterson Stadium!

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed the stay. The home is so close and convenient to all things UofL. It was definitely a plus that sheets and towels were provided. I wish the kitchen was better equipped with cookware and other kitchen essentials (silverware, pans, pots, aluminum foil, ziplock bags, etc), because I was hoping to cook my son some home cooked meals while visiting, but the lack of cookware prevented us from doing that. Other than that, we had a lovely stay, and now that we know the kitchen situation, we’ll be better prepared next time. We’ll be back!"

Central Park Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Our room had a ceiling fan so we were able to control our room temperature. The food was scrumptious and Ronnell and the other staff were very accommodating to our needs."

Comfort, Style, True Hospitality in the Heart of Old Louisville

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Izzy's flat and our first introduction to the Old Louisville neighborhood. The location is great, right across from Central Park, and it was easy to walk to the Art Show we were attending as well as neighborhood restaurants and attractions. The flat was warm and cozy (loved all the ambient accent lighting) and the 2nd floor covered deck facing west was my favorite spot to wrap up the day. Izzy has supplied many basics that you don't always see in other rentals (spices, coffee pods, water in the fridge, specialty ice cubes and glasses for that bourbon you picked up, toiletries in the shower, etc) that made it feel a bit more like staying at a friend's guest cottage than a rental. Izzy was very responsive and helpful with any question we had. Plan to return to explore the neighborhood even more!"

DuPont Mansion Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This B&B was lovely!!! We will definitely be coming back next year! The breakfast was amazing! She was so lovely and such a great cook!"

Louisville Group Home | Glow Putt Putt & Karaoke | Mins to Downtown | Sleeps 13

8/10 Good

"Great location for Bourbon & Beyond. Can walk to Expo Center or about a 7 min drive. There is a bakery and fun bar a block away, and Main St/Whiskey Row is a short drive. Host was very communicative. We appreciated being able to check in early. House was cute and comfortable. Dedicated parking for 3 cars. Quiet neighborhood. House is well maintained over all. It does show some signs of wear but nothing that adversely affected our stay. Fun spot to call home for a weekend."

Super 8 by Wyndham Louisville/Expo Center

10/10 Excellent

"Always stay here for state fair every year. Close to fairgrounds!"

6Bed 5Bath Prime Retreat Mins 2 UL/Downtown Firepit Speakeasy Luxe Amenities

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great home for a large group! 6 bedrooms with excellent beds. 5 fully updated bathrooms. Lots of gathering space. Nicely decorated with both modern and classic touches. Property owners/managers were great to work with and proactively encouraged us to report any problems of which we noted a few minor things not needing immediate attention. This is a classic home in a quintessential Louisville neighborhood yet walking distance to Univ. of Louisville campus and super convenient to Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Expo Center. Our group of 11 would definitely stay again!"

The Trifecta in Old Louisville

10/10 Excellent

"This was a fabulous home away from home on our multi-family trip to Louisville. We will definitely stay here again - it was convenient, cozy, and cute as can be! From the welcome candy to the binder of recommended restaurants and things to do - we felt very cared for during our stay. The home is very comfortable - nice linens, excellent bath care products, and the kitchen is extremely well equipped - coffee pot and kuring, with coffee, filters, sweeteners. As far as location - we were within a 10 minute Uber to the Expo center, Muhammad Ali Museum, Nulu (which was super fun!), and 2 hole-in-the-wall sports bar/restaurants were within a 5 minute WALK. We loved sitting by the fire pit after a long day - and the owners even provided smores kits (we opted for wine and bourbon instead). 10/10, 5 Stars, Don't hesitate - just book it!"
