Charmed in Pittsburgh
The Priory’s location allowed us to easily get to the Strip District and PNC. The building is meticulous and charming. There is ample parking between their two lots.

Historic Charm
I had a quick solo stop in Pittsburgh and chose the Priory Hotel based on pictures and historical charm. It’s beautiful, quiet, and safe. I’m not sure I’d recommend walking the block alone, but there is a shuttle service that transports guests. I enjoyed a fun dinner out nearby at The Federal Galley followed by a drink and excellent company with fellow travelers at Monk’s Bar off the lobby.

My son and I stayed here when we drove in from out of town to go to a Pirates game. It was brutal hot. The hotel had a shuttle to take us to the game and pick us up after. Breakfast was easy to order. Hotel was immensely quiet. If you’re looking for a nice place with some good character it’s great.
In full disclosure it is in an area that is hemmed in by some overpass infrastructure. This always creates some odd parts of town. The shuttle was really helpful and took away any concerns with walking around weird pockets of infrastructure.

Really liked the hotel and convenience to downtown and other museums.
The neighborhood at night is a little sketchy as there are some run down homes/businesses nearby.
The front desk staff were above and beyond friendly and made me feel welcome.

Such a unique place to stay! It’s a former monastery and much of the architecture and decor is preserved. It’s across from a busy area that was kind of noisy but we had a room on the ground floor facing the street. Very comfortable for our 1 night stay!

The Priory is a Hidden Treasure!
Our 3 night stay was our first visit but won't be our last. Michael is an outstanding bartender and attracted hotel guests as well as locals for a fun time. All of the employees were friendly and helpful. It's an easy walk to a couple of terrific restaurants on East Ohio Street.

We arrived in the middle of the night with plans to leave early in the morning. No one was around except the very pleasant woman checking us in. This is a charming place with a bed & breakfast type feel. The bathroom / shower was modern. We were delighted to receive our pre-ordered bagged breakfast to go (croissant sandwiches) when we checked out.

When in Pittsburgh, make The Priory a priority
We travel on a budget. Most of the time that means chain hotels - clean, dependable, BORING. The Priory is LOVELY. An affordable boutique hotel, as close as a hotel can be to a B&B. The room was big, the bed comfortable, the shower fantastic, the black out curtains kept out the light. The fitness room was fine. The breakfast was tasty and fresh. The gorgeous courtyard was a pleasant place to have coffee. The tiny bar has a really great bar tender named Michael who is also the mixologist. He pours a great drink. If we ever find ourselves in Pittsburgh again, for certain we will return!

It's all about the Monk
Wonderful front desk staff and the Monk Bar was a fun surprise. We enjoyed a fabulous hand-crafted cocktail and the bartender's music selection before heading out for the evening. Breakfast was to-go style but there is a comfortable dining area to enjoy if you prefer to not take it to your room or to wherever you are going. Very walkable location. It was cold when we were there, but the outdoor patio area looks very inviting for next time.
