Amazing for an intimate getaway

Took myself on a staycation and really enjoyed the hotel. It’s right in a very walkable area, which is hard to come by in Houston. Even if you don’t want to leave the property, they have a nice bar on site along with a restaurant. I didn't try their restaurant but I’ll def be back and will give it a try then. So glad we have a hotel like this in Houston that’s away from the hustle and bustle of downtown or being off of a loud and busy freeway!

Beautiful Hotel. Friendly Staff. Great Food. Hotel Daphne is our new go-to hotel in Houston. Five stars all the way around.

Such a nice, boutique hotel. Perfect for a stay-cation! From the foyer to the room, bar, and restaurant, it was all fabulous.

Beautiful room

Quick overnight stay. Cute bar and great rooms. Comfortable beds and nice shower

Here’s a stronger, more polished version for a review: Horrible experience. I surprised my husband with a night away for Father’s Day, and unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. He checked in around 2–3 p.m. and turned on the A/C before heading back out. When he returned around 9 p.m., the thermostat showed 66°F, yet the room still felt extremely warm and humid, with humidity reading over 80%. When he went to the front desk to complain, he was told that it was simply “Houston humidity” and that he wasn’t used to it. We found that response unacceptable, especially considering the premium rates being charged during the World Cup. It felt like they assumed he was an out-of-town visitor and dismissed the issue rather than addressing it. He also discovered that the refrigerator was leaking. After another trip to the front desk, he insisted on being moved or he would leave. Ironically, he had asked about changing rooms the first time and was told they weren’t sure they could accommodate that. Once moved, the second room was still excessively humid. He ultimately had to take a cold shower just to be able to fall asleep. Be aware that this property appears unable to handle Houston summer conditions—and this is still the cooler part of the season. We’ve stayed at far less expensive hotels throughout Houston and have never experienced anything like this. For the price we paid, this level of comfort and customer service was completely unacceptable.

If you feel like you've walked onto the set of a Wes Anderson movie, you have entered Hotel Daphne. You've chosen wisely. This hotel is curated by a seasoned museum professional and opened by art lovers. It is decorated with an eye for art, period pattern, comfort, and pleasure. The beds are heavenly, the bathroom is a party of stripes, and the walk-in shower is big enough for the whole family. The bar has its own cozy, swanky vibe, to canoodle or go awol in. Hypsi, the restaurant, offers breakfast and brunch as wonderful as its staff. The lobby is a room to linger in, from the rounded velvet seating encircling a canon of joyfully exuberant flowers, to the artworks, books, and gift shop. I'll be back.

Our one night stay was great for celebrating our anniversary. The staff was very hospitable and caring. The power went out during our stay and the kitchen was inoperable but the staff made up for this in many ways. Would recommend!
