I appreciated the comfort of my guestroom, with it's generously sized bed and other furniture.The features allowed easy storage and retrieval of my travel possessions.The kitchen was large and well- equipped for preparing meals as one would at home; the bathroom was spotless, and possessed modern hardware features and well sorted,abundant grooming supplies essential to my requirements.The comprehensive and well laid out amenities in all spaces enabled satisfying rest and thorough and snappy preparation the next morning.I ended my stay invigorated and grateful not only for the quality of my accommodation,but also for the friendly service offered at all times during my stay.

Amazing place to stay! Quiet, safe, clean, home-like, and the hosts are super sweet. The house deco has character and feels very welcoming. The only thing is the upper bunk I had was a little squeaky...but no biggie. I enjoyed my time here and will come back when I visit Hamilton again.

This is an awesome, safe and affordable option in Hamilton. You will be greeted and welcomed at the door and made feel very welcome. I travel with a bicycle and they offer a secure bike shed. Very clean, very classic and well organized to make a quest stay super enjoyable. (I have stayed twice with the same happy experience :)

Kent

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My second visit was just as lovely as the first. Guests in the mixed dorm were quiet and respectful. The guesthouse is so economical, I would call it no-frills, except the hosts generously provide lots of amenities like laundry facilities, toiletries, extra linens, breakfast food, pantry staples, a computer with printer, board games - even sunscreen, which was very welcome during July. The house was clean and tidy, with the charm of a historic property. Lots of restaurants in the area at all price points, a short walk to downtown, and fantastic bus access. Some reviews called the neighbourhood scary. It's true that there are unhoused people on Mary Street south of the guesthouse, but they minded their business and I minded mine. The property borders a major, well-lit road, and is protected by passcode locks. Thanks again for going above and beyond, and I'll be happy to return on my next visit to Hamilton.
