Loved all the pinball machines, was ready to pitch in and get some up and running but only had limited time. The owner was a good communicator and even upgraded my room to a larger one. The neighborhood was convenient, with plenty of parking, able to use the fridge, freezer, and microwave for my meals as well. Will definitely come back.
Great place to stay. Pete is a great host, easy check in great communication, pinball machines and games in the rooms really great. Quick drive to some good dining.
We had a great experience staying at Pinball Pete’s place. Very clean, cozy, comfortable, with use of the kitchen and some food provided … and, of course, pinball! Our host also went above and beyond in helping us to resolve an unexpected issue. Hoping to stay there again in the future.
Great place and location! The host was super nice and a quick reply to messages. Clean room and comfy bed. The pinball machines and vintage games are really cool! I would definitely stay there again. 👍
Property is not typical. Looks like it's run as a hostel. Looks lived in and not clean. Overgrown yard and junk everywhere. Two of three beds were uncomfortable. No real access to laundry room machines. Dark, damp, dingy and crowded. Mouse in back porch wood pile. Unusable grill. I was grateful for the whole house and the area. Pet friendly is a bonus. But upkeep was terrible.
The room is amazing! The bed is more comfortable than my own at home! Host is amazing! Amazing games and a great space! I Can't wait to recommend to friends!
Great place to stay relaxing and if your into pinball it is heaven as Pete has many pinball games to play for your entertainment. Give Superman a play!
This is the most fun place to stay that I know. The owner is responsive and friendly, the cat (who only lives outside) is so lovely. The antique pinball machine collection is one of the best I’ve ever seen, and it’s a chance of a lifetime to play. Kitchen is well stocked and beds are comfy. This place is exceptional!
Unique and fun place to stay in Richmond. Especially nice if you are traveling with folks that really love pinball. Clean, accommodating, quiet neighborhood. Game play is included in the price of your stay, there must have been 25 machines.
We stayed at pinball Petes located in Richmond Virginia. It was a cool place that contained over 15 pinballs and other types of gains. It was close to mainstream venues, but took away in a picturesque neighborhood very peaceful and calm and safe. We enjoy being able to relax.
The host couldn’t have been nicer. House is a museum of pinball machines that you can play!!
Everything was spotlessly clean and light breakfast is available.
I’ll definitely return.
Ive never experienced a bnb quite like Pinball Pete's. Nostalgic pinball machines everywhere set on free play. Got the pleasure to meet the man himself. Great guy. The house was extremely clean as well as free snacks and in a good neighborhood. Highly recommend this establishment. 10 stars if i could.
This is our second stay, and it's just as great as before! The beds are comfy, selection of breakfast is great, the manager communicates extremely well, the games are fun, location is safe and convenient, and the old cat is very friendly. Despite what someone else said, I have never seen a cat hair or any trace of the friendly little cat anywhere inside the house. I hope my kid gets into college here, so I have an excuse to come stay here more often. lol
Had a great timing staying at this special, fun place! Loved the decor, charm and of course pinball machines. The owner was kind and accommodating.
I look forward to booking again next time I’m in Richmond.
Had a great time with the pinball machines and game systems! Kids loved them too! And it was a great location right by the highway, but in a quiet neighborhood.
This place was AMAZING!! Highly recommend anyone staying around Richmond to check this place out. The pinball was so much fun and the house itself was really cool and vintage and the host was exceptional
