Great place for a quick stay
Super cute place close to downtown. Breakfast was included too! It was a small room and smelled a little moldy but other than that very happy with the 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 :)

10/10 Exceptional

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.

I stayed in the mixed dormitory. It was clean and those who were there were very quiet and respectful. The owners were very kind. There were several bathrooms to utilize. I appreciated having cleaning products on hand in the restroom.
