Staff was very friendly and attentive. The receptionist made a special trip to buy fresh oranges for our 1 and a half your old son. Excellent location in Nantucket town. Rooms are cozy and clean with nice tile scenes in the showers. Also, the attached restaurant was very good.

The room I stayed in here was amazing. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was absolutely gorgeous. The staff here were all very polite, friendly, and helpful. The location of this hotel is phenomenal. If you’re just walking around town you’re never too far away and it’s so easy to come back to drop things off and enjoy the downtown area.

Exceptional stay at Greydon House, Nantucket Our recent stay at Greydon House was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, I was struck by the charming ambiance of the hotel. With an artisan’s eye, one would notice the impressive quality of the tile work, woodworking, and decor throughout the property, which added to the overall aesthetic appeal. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights during our stay. The hospitality we received from front desk staff, particularly Stephanie, and manager John was outstanding. They were not only reactive to assist with any issues—albeit minor—but also went above and beyond by recommending nearby restaurants and activities, even ensuring our reservations were taken care of. The location of Greydon House is perfect for exploring Nantucket, making it an ideal choice for travelers. I highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a memorable experience in Nantucket.

As someone who takes pride in choosing thoughtful, high-quality accommodations when traveling, I can confidently say that Greydon House in Nantucket exceeded expectations. Located right in the heart of downtown, it was the perfect choice for a weekend stay. I specifically wanted to be close to the Steamship Authority ferry, great restaurants, and downtown shopping—and this location delivered on all fronts. From the moment we checked in, we were warmly welcomed by friendly staff and a personable, attentive manager who set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The location couldn’t be more convenient: a three-minute walk to one of the best lobster rolls you’ll ever have at Walter’s, a charming coffee and pastry shop directly across the street, and the Whaling Museum just steps away. Given the unbeatable location, we weren’t expecting much from the room itself—but we were genuinely impressed. Our room was cozy and well-appointed, with high-end toiletries, beautiful shower tile, and an exceptionally comfortable bed. Harney & Sons tea and quality coffee were available all day, which was a much-appreciated touch. One of the highlights of our stay was Via Mare, the on-site restaurant. Although we enjoyed every meal during our visit to Nantucket, this restaurant stood out. The oysters were among the best I’ve ever had, and the cocktails were both creative and delicious. Despite the cool weather, we found ourselves drawn again and again to the charming side porch. Whether we were reading, chatting, watching the Memorial Day parade, or enjoying takeout meals, it became a favorite spot throughout our stay. Greydon House offers a rare combination of location, charm, and service—and we’ll absolutely be returning.

Nice space but my room the first night was right above restaurant bar— loud and smelled like fried calamari. Stayed a second night and moved to third floor, lovely quiet room with no restaurant noise or smell. The staff was very kind, and the restaurant attached is charming… just try and avoid sleeping over it:)
