"Very clean and super nice rooms. Loved it was pet friendly for our Goldendoodle to travel with us. Loved everything about our stay except convenience to restaurants and bars. They will shuttle you to anything within 2 miles but nothing is that close. Could maybe stretch the 2 miles to 5 and then it would help. All in all, pretty nice hotel. Employees could be more informed on close places to eat and entertainment."

Cielo Casa on “The Hill” Walkable and mins away from, BJC, SLU, Downtown + more

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay in St Louis at Cielo Casa on "the hill" was fantastic. I cannot say enough about our host Adam! He is very responsive and took great care of us along with great suggestions as this was our first time in St Louis. The property is centrally located and easy to get downtown to the arch and Cardinals game. A very short drive to Forest Park which includes an amazing zoo and art museum which are both free! How does that happen?! Also, a quick drive to original AB plant which is a fun tour. The hill really is a great fit for us as it is the "little Italy" of St Louis with amazing deli's, coffee shops, plaza and restaurants. We really enjoyed Shaw Coffee, Gioia's deli and Milo's. The property is an older home as you would expect in this area and is well maintained. Only caution I would advise on is lots of steps, although that was fine for us. Parking is easy in front or the back of the property through the alley. Adam takes good care of the property, and you can see the work that has been done. I highly recommend this property and this area."
