Hotel Ulysses, a Member of Design Hotels

By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.

Hotel Ulysses is worth booking if you want a five-star stay in walkable Mount Vernon at a price below the city median. Look elsewhere if breakfast or parking must be part of the deal, since neither is confirmed in our data.

Who it suits and who should skip it

This is our Luxury pick for Baltimore, an official 5-star hotel with a guest score of 8.8 out of 10 from 414 reviews. It suits travellers who like to explore on foot, museum visitors and anyone heading to a game at Camden Yards. The hotel is tagged as pet friendly, and air conditioning is listed.

Skip it if you need a confirmed breakfast or on-site parking. Our data does not list either. Watch the extras too: a few guests mention unexpected charges on top of the room rate.

Location and getting around

The address is 2 East Read Street in Mount Vernon. Guests give the location a 9.4, and they describe it as central, with the train station and the harbor within walking distance.

By straight-line estimate, the Walters Art Museum is about 0.4 km away, around 5 minutes on foot. The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is 0.6 km, roughly 8 minutes. Oriole Park at Camden Yards is 1.8 km, about 23 minutes. Real walking routes can take longer than these figures suggest.

What guests say

The staff get the warmest comments. Guests call the team friendly, helpful and welcoming, and say they give knowledgeable service, which matters in a city you may not know well.

Location is the second strong point, for the reasons above.

Value is where opinions split. Some guests find the rates reasonable. Others report high costs and charges they did not expect, so ask what fees apply before you arrive.

Price and how it compares with our other Baltimore picks

The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults) was €155.19 per night, about €310 for both nights. That is 12% below the median of €177.32 for the hotels we sampled. Treat it as a reference, not a live quote, and check today's price for your dates.

Our Budget pick, Tru By Hilton Baltimore Harbor East, came in at €113.48 per night with a score of 8.7 and 3 stars. Our Best Value pick, Staybridge Suites Baltimore - Inner Harbor by IHG, was €171.71 per night, scored 8.6 and has 3 stars. On these dates, then, the five-star Ulysses cost less than the Best Value choice.

Why it made our top 3

We compared 13 eligible hotels in Baltimore. Five-star properties get priority for the Luxury slot, and Hotel Ulysses combines that rating with a joint second-place guest score in the sample. A reference price below the median helped too.

Listed facilities are a restaurant, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Opening hours and any fees are not confirmed.

Before you book

Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Ask whether breakfast is available and at what cost, check parking options if you drive, and request a full list of fees. If you bring a pet, confirm the rules and charges in writing.
