Old building so creaky floors and noise travelling through thin walls should be expected but it has a great history, very clean and super friendly staff. Very close to the main shopping and restaurant area.

This is a beautiful historic property with a view of the lake. The location is across from a lovely park and is only a few blocks off the main strip- about a 5 minute walk. The staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Breakfast options were excellent and the food was fantastic. The room was well appointed, very clean and comfortable. The main areas were decorated in in the period and the photographs lining the walls were very interesting and beautiful. I highly recommend this as a lovely experience while in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Wonderful experience - a great B&B with large, beautifully decorated room and common areas, updated bath, chef-prepared breakfast with several menu options. One of the best locations in NOTL if you are attending the Shaw Festival or Royal George Theatres - a short walk to each, and to the downtown shopping and restaurants. We have already booked another stay!

The Old Bank House is a beautifully-kept historic landmark across from a Park lining the mouth of the Niagara River, looking across to Fort Niagara on the US side of the River and out to Lake Ontario and the distant skyline of Toronto. The decor and especially the owner's black and white photos are memorable, the breakfast quality and arrangements and views are exceptional at any time of year. The Bank House is a very easy walk to other attractions in one a Canada's most charming little towns, with the Shaw Festival productions leading the way.

I like that the property had a lovely view of the Niagara River(or maybe it was Lake Ontario). We were able to charge our Mustang Mach E. And it was an easy walk to Shaw Festival.

Jessica went out of her to accommodate us coming off a 2 week vacation and allowed us to leave our luggage in the lobby a few hours before checking in and after leaving the next day before our room at another Airbnb was ready! Acknowledgment of our 30 year wedding anniversary with a bottle of wine and lovely card. Breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed sitting with other guests. Would highly recommend this quaint Inn with lots of history and right across from the water with a great view. Michelle and Jeff Grigg
