Friendly staff! The room was spotless, and so charming! Beautiful antique furniture, gorgeous new carpets. Very calming colours and so cozy. The bed was very comfortable. We got a drink at Monk bar, and took it outside into the courtyard to enjoy the weather. I will definitely stay here again if I am in the area!
Beautiful old building with history throughout. Our first floor 1 bedroom suite was clean and quiet. No mini-fridge in room, but they also have a historic bar to get drinks and a free grab & go breakfast. Well located near downtown and highway access, and a 7/11 at the end of the block. Free parking was a bonus as we drove there. Would definitely stay again.
Our purpose for visiting Pittsburgh was to attend a Pirates game so I did a Google search for "baseball packages". The Priory package included our room, two tickets to the game (which I upgraded from the bleacher section), two Pirate caps and a bag of snacks. PNC Park was a ten minute walk. After the game, we wanted to head to the South Shore to ride both inclines. We are really unfamiliar with how Uber works but Michael at the front desk arranged for our rides both to and from the area. Michael, the bartender, gave us a map and instructions on how to get from the Duquesne to the Mon inclines and offered some tips for snacks and shopping along the way. On our return to The Priory, we got some drinks in their bar and sat outside in the courtyard which is really lovely and the weather was perfect. If you like raspberry drinks, I recommend The Monktini. Our room was clean as a whistle. The beds and pillows are super comfy. The shower was a bit small and might be a problem for a large person but I imagine it was a real challenge adding bathrooms to monk's quarters. We ordered our grab and go breakfast and used the coffee machine in our room for breakfast. The ham and cheese croissant and OJ really hit the spot. We took a five minute walk in the morning to the Warhol museum. Part of Pressley Ave is occupied some of the time by what appear to be homeless people but they did not bother anyone. We parked in the lot across the street and our vehicle was intact the next day. Next time, I'll take the advice of one of the other reviewers and head down to East Ohio Street when exiting the hotel to walk to other North Shore attractions. Our checkout procedure was by a pleasant, friendly woman whose name I did not get. This is the friendliest, most accommodating staff I have ever encountered in a hotel and I'll think of them every time I drink my morning coffee from my Priory mug. This hotel is so unique, we will most definitely use it again on our next trip to Pittsburgh.
We're gratified that you had such an enjoyable stay, and appreciate very much that you took the time to share your experience. Our team takes a great deal of pride in their work, and will be pleased to hear of your kind comments!
Based on previous reviews, we chose to stay at The Priory Hotel. I cannot say enough great things about The Priory. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Logan at the front desk who was very friendly and helpful. The weather was beautiful so we had drinks and snacks in the courtyard which were prepared by Michael, the bartender of Monks bar. Michael was very funny, friendly and knowledgeable.
The hotel and our room were so beautiful and clean throughout. The bed was really comfortable. Our room overlooked the courtyard which has beautiful landscaping and lighting. Although we only stayed for an overnight, we really enjoyed the history of the hotel and monastery and the convenience of Monks Bar with drinks and snacks.
We took full advantage of the courtyard again in the morning and ate our complimentary breakfast there. The breakfast consisted of a ham and cheese croissant, a muffin, fruit, and juice. Coffee and tea were also available during breakfast hours.
Nicole at the front desk, was kind enough to give us a tour of the Great Hall upon checkout. Nicole was super friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the hotel. We cannot say enough about her kindness and willingness to give us a tour.
I would highly recommend staying at the Priory Hotel. We parked in both the secured parking lot and unsecured parking lot with no issues. If we ever return to Pittsburgh, we would definitely stay at The Priory Hotel again without a doubt.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts about your recent stay with us. Our team will be really pleased to hear your feedback, and we look forward to hosting you next time you are in Pittsburgh!
The king room was a nicely decorated refurbished room in the “new” section of the hotel. It was a nice size and offered all we needed.
We really enjoyed the bag breakfast. It was a step up from most hotel “ready” breakfasts. You pick the time and the contents from a list. There is a nice room to eat in or a lovely courtyard outside.
We are very pleased that you had a pleasant say with us. Our team takes a lot of pride in their work, and will be gratified to hear that you had an enjoyable visit.
