Lovely Place to Stay!
I came for a one-night stay, but had to leave before breakfast time the next day, so I can't comment on the breakfast portion. However, I found the place charming and restful. I was very comfortable there. The owner was very friendly and engaging, but not intrusive. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there, and hope to do it again.

It was great staying at this Bed & Breakfast. I would suggest selecting the third floor room which has an attached "outside" porch area and it's own bathroom.

Pretty home, nice bfast, inconvenient location
Hard to get a cab back and forth as tolls to Staten Island are $17 each way. Would’ve stayed on the Jersey side if I’d known. We were in town for a cruise. The breakfast and stay was lovely however!

Response from Danuta on 23 Nov 2018
unfortunately, the guests did not realize that Cruise Ship terminal is in New Jersey and Victorian Bed and Breakfast is on Staten Island-New York. There is a Bayonne Bridge that connects two States and a toll is hefty $17.00. It was a not best location for them. If they called me before I would advise them to stay in New Jersey.

We really enjoyed the Victorian Bed & Breakfast, the owner met us when we arrived, let us decide on which room we would like, and asked us what we would like for breakfast. Allowed me to stay later than the normal checkout. She was very accommodating. The B&B was in a great location, convenient to the ferry, which is what we needed to get to Manhattan. We would definitely stay there again.

Excellent choice at Staten Island
Good place to stay at Staten Island. The owner and the hostess is a very charming person who will make you feel at home. The house has a character and carries the Victorian era atmosphere. It is located in the residential area and will cost you 11$ to get to the ferry that takes you to NYC. Guests share bathroom and it is not a problem at all. I am glad I chose this place over a traditional hotel.

Wonderful bed and breakfast on Staten Island,
We stayed on the 3rd floor bedroom with porch area and shared bathroom. The room was clean and tidy with antique style furniture. The bed was so comfortable. The owner was very hospitable. She made a wonderful breakfast spread each morning. Parking was on the street, but there appeared to be no issues about space availability. It was a lovely experience, having normally stayed in hotels and met some interesting people who also stayed there.

Great breakfast!
This 160 year old house on Staten Island is good value for money with great quality breakfasts. The fresh fruit salad was delicious, as was the wonderful fruit and nut toasted bread, and there was always plenty of choices to eat. Our room was at the top of the house, with a shared bathroom. We thought we had booked an ensuite, but as there was someone already in the 4th bedroom, we had to share. The house is quite creaky due to its age, and you can hear people coming and going. But it is much cheaper than staying in Manhattan, and there is easy access by bus to the free Staten Island ferry. The bed was comfortable and as the owner lives in the house next door, you get the use of the living room.

Staying in an B&B was new to us, not sure how it would work out. I am happy to say it worked out great. Our host was good, room was very clean. We drove in so we were able to drive to the Staten Island ferry where you can park for about 8 bucks day. Ferry is free. I would stay here again.

A Charming Stay in Staten Island
Before I had even arrived at the Victorian Bed & Breakfast, I knew that it was going to be wonderful. The owner and I had been playing phone-tag regarding my time of arrival and breakfast accommodations, and her voicemails alone revealed her to be a delight. She greeted us with the utmost hospitality, and entering the house was like stepping into another era. Beautiful china, paintings, and antique furniture decorated the spacious rooms, with ceilings reaching high into the sky. Our room was equally charming, with fresh roses (from the bushes out front) in a vase, and the softest, fluffiest pillows I've ever laid my head on. My boyfriend and I were visiting the city, and only had a few moments to check-in and deposit our baggage before we took the ferry over. However, in the morning, we had the chance to better acquaint ourselves with the house and with its lovely owner. Not only did she prepare a beautiful table for us, with delicate china and antique glass dishes, but she also accommodated our food preferences. We are both vegan, and she went out of her way to provide a delicious, nourishing vegan breakfast for us! We had the pleasure of chatting with her over breakfast, after which she gave us a tour of her backyard garden and showcased her beautiful plants & flowers. I wish we could have stayed longer!

A Warm, Welcoming Home!
This was a wonderful place to stay. I enjoyed all of the welcoming little touches like banana bread, cookies, truffles, and tea available to the guests. The mattress in my room was the most comfortable I have ever slept on. I appreciated all of the antiques, the many choices in decor that made this house special. The owner of the B & B was friendly and kind. The last time I stayed in a B & B in London, I got the impression the owner disliked doing his job, and I felt lonely so far from home, so I especially appreciated the owner's friendliness. Breakfast included the most amazing fruit salad, another example of kind and generous hospitality. Parking was very easy (certainly not a given in NYC), and I felt safe. The North Shore of Staten Island has many interesting homes; it is a little known treasure of an area. Staying at the Victorian B & B was a very positive experience for me.

Nice place in Northern Staten Island
My first time to New York. I stayed here for 3 nights during New Years. The plan was to walk to the ferry. However the ferry was 2 miles away. Walking was not an option. You have to take a car or taxi anywhere to get food. The neighborhood is on the decline. Nonetheless, for the price and cleanness of the BB I would suggest this to a friend.

wonderful breakfast
Lovely quiet house, super room & bathroom, very interesting and helpful hostess, attracts interesting guests therfore good breakfast table conversations, but not good for Manhattan visit. Using Saten Island ferry was good but B&B 20 minutes away by usually crowded bus. Also English very much 2nd language in the predominately Spanish American neigbourhood and no reasonable restaurants nearby. So recomended if have own transport or for short stay only to see lower Manhattan. PS One room has own kitchen / dining room, this is wonderful value if wish to self cater.

良い宿でした
1週間ほどのニューヨーク旅行でしたが4日マンハッタン島、2日をこのスタテン島で過ごしました。 こちらのB&Bではとても心地よく過ごすことができました。ニューヨークの喧騒から逃れ落ち着くには良い場所です。 当初、マンハッタンからスタテトン島、そしてこのB&Bまでのアクセスを心配してましたが特にストレスを感じることなくアクセス出来ました。具体的にはマンハッタンからはスタテン島行きの無料フェリーの乗り場までは地下鉄で行けますし地下鉄駅からフェリー乗り場までは雨に濡れることもなくダイレクトにつなっがっています。またフェリーも24時間運行なのでマンハッタンでミュージカルを見たあと遅くなっても問題無くホテルまで戻ることができました。むしろ夜遅くにマンハッタンのビル群の夜景を見ながら替えれる贅沢を味わえ大満足でした。スタテン島側についてもタクシー乗り場で容易にタクシーに乗ることができ10㌦でホテルまで行く事ができました。時間は10分位でついたかと思います。またホテルからフェリー乗り場までは僕らはUBERを利用しました。こちらも10㌦ほど。なので当初心配していたアクセスに関してはノーストレスでした。 また、おいしい朝食もつきますし女主人のおばあさんとも色々話しもでき楽しい一時を過ごすことができたのもGOOでした。都会のホテルより民宿的なところが性に会う方にはお勧めです!

Eine Perle in Staten Island
Wunderschönes und stilvoll eingerichtetes viktorianisches Haus; tolle Gastgeberin, der das Wohl und der Komfort ihrer Gäste am Herzen liegt; hervorragendes Frühstück mit frischem Obst, selbstgebackenem Kuchen, gutem Brot (!), Auswahl an Eierspeisen und täglich wechselnden warmen Anteil; mehrere Busverbindungen zur Staten Island Fähre (ca. 15 min) und zur MTA nach Brooklyn (ca. 30 min); ruhige und sichere Wohngegend; das B&B bietet einen hervorragenden Einblick in das Leben der "normalen" New Yorker abseits vom engen und hektischen Manhattan und trotzdem kann man unkompliziert dorthin gelangen; die Brückenverbindung nach Brooklyn und damit der Zugang zum MTA-Netz ermöglicht auch einen (verhältnismäßig) schnellen Zugang zu den anderen Stadtteilen

Ruhiges Hotel
Das Hotel ist echt super. Die Besitzerin ist eine ganz tolle Frau die sehr um das wohl ihrer Gäste bemüht ist. Das Frühstück ist wirklich super lecker und frisch. Für die USA in dieser Preisklasse sehr selten zu finden. New York ist eine tolle Stadt mit sehr netten Menschen die Stadt ist aber sehr teuer. Mit dem Bus( Bushaltestelle ist 2min zu Fuß vom Hotel entfernt) fährt man direkt zur Staten Island Ferry die fährt stündlich nach Manhattan der Anblick der sich einem da bietet ist Atemberaubend bei Tag und auch bei Nacht. In dieser Stadt ist für jeden Charakter und jede Laune was geboten. Geht nicht Gibt's nicht!!! Unglaublich beeindruckend und sehr Interessant. .
