We love staying at the BGH! We’ve stayed here several times and it’s always great. Quiet, walkable to downtown spots, clean, spacious and the amenities are great. We will always pick staying at this quaint inn rather than a busting corporate hotel. ❤️

The Boise Guest House is our goto place to stay when we come to Boise for an event. It's always quiet, and there's a small backyard with tables and chairs to sit in. Checking in is always easy. The room we stay in is set up like a Studio apartment with a kitchen area. I'm sure the rest are the same. We'll be back again and again.

Boise Guest House review

Loved staying at BGH. The complimentary bikes were a great plus… tho the bikes could use a little work. The Adirondack chairs on the porch were a great way to unwind at the end of the day. Overall, highly recommend, would stay here again.

Wonderful experience and I wish I could have stayed longer. Walking distance (10 minutes) to all the restaurants and bars you could want. A visit to Press and Pony should be required. I'm thinking of returning for a writing retreat.

We just had an amazing 3-night stay. Arrived at noon and called the number on the door to ask if we could drop our bags in the hallway, before 3pm check-in. Daniel said our room was ready and let us in early. Also let us drop our bags in the laundry room for a few hours after checkout. They provided extra propane for the BBQ and fire pit. Free bicycles that we used 4 times. Two nice backpacks that we used to go shopping at Albertsons with, via the bikes. Full kitchen setup. Perfect location to walk to anything downtown. We biked to Albertsons Stadium for a Boise State football game. Biked through Julia Davis Park and the Boise State campus. We highly recommend BGH and will be back!
