It is it used to be a brothel, so be prepared for the Staff to help you with your luggage up the staircase. Overall peace and quiet is what you will get at this hotel. There are several restaurants and cafés within walking distance from the Hotel. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing stay at The Painted lady. Jing was very communicative and helped with a number of recommendations. We were only staying as a brief getaway and found out Birmingham’s good scene is pretty awesome. I’d stay at this clean, artsy, quirky, cool hotel a million times more!

The Painted Lady is more of a boarding house than a hotel It does have cutely decorated rooms and a clean facility. The coffee and tea station was fine. We had to use our towels to block the very bright light streaming around the door from the hall into our room all night making it difficult to sleep. Parking is down the street 1/2 a block. Very stripped down tiny lobby. Not sure the price is commensurate to accommodations.

Beautiful!

Fun place to stay! Very nicely refurbished old building. Very sweet staff, they were eager to answer questions. Our room was very comfortable! The only drawback is that there is no elevator. Be prepared for stairs!

Nice quiet hotel

We loved this hotel. It was quaint and comfortable. The shower was amazing. The only thing I wish it would’ve had is a mini fridge to keep drinks in and maybe a coffee maker. But otherwise it was perfect.

LOVED it!

We LOVED the Painted Lady. Our concierge and his pup “Sub” were the highlight of our stay in Birmingham. The room and bed were so cozy, it was hard to want to leave. They took such great care of us and we loved the history of the building. Will recommend to anyone we know who is coming thru the area.

We enjoyed our visit at the painted Lady. We had to climb three flights of stairs. There did not appear to be an elevator. That was not a problem for us, but I could see how it would be a problem for other people. The bed and pillows were very comfortable

While I was in town for work, a severe thunderstorm caused a leak in the ceiling of my room. Ashley and the front desk attendant were beyond helpful and understanding and quickly helped me move to a new room.

It was OK

Nice Room and furnishings. It lacked in comfort and amenities. My husband was trying to get closer to me at night in the bed and every time he tried he would fall into a dip in the bed. Needless to say he never got close. The TV was too small for the distance it was from the bed, but most of all there was not a coffee maker in sight. For the price of the stay, I expected more.

We selected to stay at the Painted Lady as we needed a place in Birmingham for a wedding weekend. The unit was clean and had the essentials we needed. The owner and employees were very friendly and welcoming!! It was raining sideways when we had to leave, and I was dressed up and didn't have an umbrella. The owner, grabbed his umbrella and assisted me out to the car!! That's going above and beyond service right there! Not to mention, they had an office dog (head of security), Sub. He was the sweetest! Would stay here again if we needed to :)
