Very quick trip to Providence, and we were lucky the Wedding Cake House happened to have one room left, an affordable room, I might add, unlike a lot of other hotels in the area. We had a spacious room, funky and historic vibe all at the same time, in an area with lots of amenities and quick to downtown or Brown. The clawfoot tub even had a shower with good water pressure! I loved the decor and the spirit of the place.

Unique place with personal attention

The Wedding Cake House is a very special place: it's beautifully furnished with plenty of original artwork. The room was large with great picture windows. The location is great, close to good restaurants. Continental breakfast is included (you preorder in the evening and can have it either delivered to your room or in the dining room. Snacks are available, and everything is done with attention to detail.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property itself was cool. Great staff was great and communicative before and during our stay. It is very much a niche B&B - not a bad thing at all, but you should make sure it's your cup of tea. The property itself is arenovated abandoned building (the job done on renovations is fantastic).And the immediate area is somewhat depressed - not located in downtown Providence itself.

I almost never leave reviews, unless a hotel goes above and beyond my expectations. Wedding Cake House was exactly that. Both the exterior and interior is beautiful and well-thought out design-wise. Anna was exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. I really appreciated the restaurant recommendations that I was provided, which allowed me to explore a wonderful area of the city that I likely wouldn’t have checked out had I not stayed at this specific hotel. The breakfast, which was delivered to my door, was an extra treat. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to all my friends going to Providence.

A gem!

This is a gem of a B and B! Artfully and tastefully decorated, furnishings are beautiful and comfortable. There's always a snack and a hot cup of coffee or tea waiting when you arrive home from a busy day. And the breakfast is outstanding. Both dining room and delivery to the room are available. The choices are healthy and delicious and the pot of french press coffee is fantastic. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Pippi went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Beautiful, comfortable stay. Thanks!

The best!

What a pleasant surprise this turned out to be. The thoughtfully decorated rooms and halls and staircases – breakfast at your door – the charm of staying in a piece of old Providence. I just can’t recommend this place highly enough and do not see myself staying anywhere else next time I’m in town.

Unique and beautiful

The Wedding Cake House was a unique and beautiful place to stay. The room was clean and had lovely tile work around the mirror and in the shower.The dining room was elegant and you could choose to have a continental breakfast by filling out a form with your food choices. It was about a 5 to 10 minute drive to College Hill where we spent a lot of time visiting Brown University and RISD. I would absolutely stay here again if I find myself in Providence. Another great thing is that you are supporting artists because this place functions as an artists residence as well.
