The first room we were shown wasn’t clean - there was blood on the floor. The second room was ok. It’s a bit dated but acceptable for what we paid. One microwave in the building but no other cooking facilities. Got kept awake the second night by slamming doors and told “it’s probably students who are still staying here”. Laundry is available but it’s minimum $10 for a card and a wash and dry cycle on costs $3.75 total. Overall a bit disappointing.

Dirty, lights didn't work, tape all over the walls, shower didn't work, bathroom sink shot sideways.

It is a no-frills experience, but great value for your money considering how expensive hotels are in Kingston. The bed was very comfortable, though strangely very high from the floor. There were toiletries and clean towels, and the room is quite spacious. It is a quick taxi to downtown, or you can take a 20-minute bus ride. Probably your best option for a comfy and budget friendly overnight stay.

Might not have been all I could have wanted (I.e. shower but no tub, no light over bed to read by) but it was all that I needed at an affordable price. I would definitely stay there again. Would make sure I took my sneakers so that I could have had a comfortable walk around the beautiful grounds.

Extra charge for parking was an unexpected bummer, otherwise good!

We stayed here for a couple a nights while visiting friends. The room was very clean, definitely was a dorm room. But we enjoyed having a fridge to store stuff. No TV for the kids but they survived. Everyone was very friendly and super helpful. It was a cheap and cheerful vacation.
We did wish parking was included though, would be a nice perk.

Small buildings 3 stories. Large fridge, free parking on weekends, cleanliness, price.
Noisy AC, toilet paper holder; how to open.
2.0
Booked 3 rooms. Two were fine. Third: (a) the air-conditioning circuit-breaker kept shutting it off, and that woke me up twice at night in order to reset it; (b) the toilet flush kept flushing every 15 mins, which is also why I needed the AC to work continuously to drown out the sound. Otherwise, room was clean, bedding was good. Plastic cover enclosed pillow was tolerable.

A great pied a terre in Kingston. Room is basic, bed was comfy and it was nice to have a fridge in the room. Second floor lounge has a toaster, toaster oven, microwave and kettle. All were very clean.

I enjoyed the room, the service was good Room was clean, only issue is they charge for parking but you don’t know this till you arrive. They should be upfront with the parking fee when they advertise as it detracts from the overall good experience.

Very reasonable rates and close to Portsmouth Olympic Harbour (CORK). No housekeeping but fresh linens available at front desk. Bring your own pillow.
2.0
This is a bare bones accomodation. It is very much not a hotel. Room just has a small washroom with a stand up shower, a small, uncomfortable bed and a plastic chair. There's no TV, hair dryer or most thing you get at a hotel. If you just need a place to sleep for a night and don't care about amenities, it's fine. Not much in the surrounding area so if you want to do any shopping or a bite to eat you will have to travel to another part of the city.
3.0
Good value for the price compared to all other lodging alternatives in Kingston. It was half the price. Building, specially floor corridor carpet, somehow worn and old. Location was great for outdoor jogging and hiking near the river, but far from tourist sites and not well served by public transit.
1.0
No linen or towels in room. Room not made up. Hard to pay for walkiy. Scan did not work for parking. No kettle as promised in student lounges. No garbage or recycling bins in room.

Good overall experience. Thank you for a nice stay!
