“Cozy, great location and affordable”
Every thing was just lovely. Nice private room. You get every thing you need. It was also close to all the places I wanted to visit (walking distance, or a short bus ride away) from HR - if you know, you know. Including Relay Coffee, The Pink Tunnel at Shamrock Park, the NY-bodega and several bars and restaurants from the show. Even Dundurn Castle is a short bus ride away. The guesthouse was in a perfect location for all those sights. It was also very affordable. A cozy guesthouse I highly recommend! I will definitely stay here again if I ever return to Hamilton. A hidden gem!

“Lovely - I'll stay there again!”
I had two bookings so my comments are the same - Though it's a hostel I stayed in the double room with a lovely big bed. There are plug sockets near the bed and a convenient bedside light. Shower and toilet just outside my room. Shower was lovely! Kitchen downstairs to cook your own meals. Milk, cereal, tea and coffee supplied. Several people were staying so you have to label you own food if you use the fridge - this worked really well. Communal living room which was very nice. About 15-20 minutes walk from the TD Coliseum which was great. Safe and secure entrances. The hotel/hostel prefers online bookings. A very friendly welcome from the owner! :-)

“Don't recommend to 7anyone because it could be not save for your health.”
I am Bio-Chemist professional stayed at this hostel for six nights...Clean and well organized place but don't recommend any of real Travelers. I don't know who was writing this positive reviews with such a high marks on which I was relied... Probably some homeless people from nearby visinity?! I believe now this place is controlled by paid criminals... I was sick almost every morning because of unpleasant toxic smell and some irradiation coming from somewhere (feel like it is 5G is standing close to your bed). The symptons of sickness was disappearing by itself after I was walking outside. Look like such a service problems are a new life reality... :(

“I love this place ❤️”
Incredible!❤️ Unbelievable!❤️ If I could give it more than 10, I would! Beautiful, clean, comfortable, cozy. Very welcoming people! I had everything I needed and even more! Special mention to the owners for organizing the space, I admire how they thought of everything down to the smallest details (very nice signed cabinets in the kitchen). This is one of the best places I've stayed. I'm delighted! ❤️

“Grest stay”
Friendly staff, quaint centenary house. The bed has aa curtain to keep some privacy, no bunk beds, which is a plus. Best was the shower, with towel and shampoo included, very good bathroom. Breakfast was great, DIYO in the shared kitchen. Very pleased.
