Nicely renovated property in a good location in downtown Hamilton. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. Well-equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. Washer/dryer is very convenient.

The property was advertised as having free parking. This is incorrect. They did not renew the free parking arrangement. I suggest parking at the lot on the north corner of King Willam and Catherine, a short block from the unit. But it doesn’t come cheap. Expect to pay about $18 a day. There were a couple of minor issues with the suite - loose kitchen faucet handle, toilet loose on its mounting bolts - and reporting this to the rental company, Global Stay, was annoying. They said no one had complained of this before, as if it must be our fault that these issues existed. Dealing with Global Stay was generally complicated, with passport upload required, and a questionnaire, which I had to do twice as they don’t seem to have noticed that I did it the first time.

Okay so I'm writing this review because I read a lot of mixed reviews about this place and decided to take a chance and I was really happy with my stay. I'd like to address a few points here. 1. When you book, you have to check your email and they ask some basic questions and send you a paypal invoice for the deposit. You have to answer these questions/send the deposit to get your check-in information (inc. the code you use to access the apartments). I can't speak about the deposit being returned as I've only just left and haven't had it back yet. 2. The location you're looking for is on the right when you're facing Wintas computers. It's not 100% obvious its globalstay, but the address 121 King St E is on the glass door bit. There's a keypad to gain entry. You may need to use a leading zero. 3. When you're in, go to your apartment, and it should be unlocked. The key should be near the car park pass, on a little hanging rack on the tall table. 4. It will probably be quite warm when you enter - set the thermostat to cooling and the temperature to something comfortable for you. Overall, once I worked out those few things, it was an incredibly pleasant stay. The flat is very well equipped - lots of crockery/cooking supplies, including spices. The kettle might be in a cupboard (stove-top kettle, very important for a Brit like me). Cooked and microwaved and washed up a few times while I was there, no issues. The apartment was very clean and plush. The sofa is very comfy, the bed too. The bathroom/shower are great. Didn't try the TV. Having washing machine/dryer in the flat was very useful. Really good location, right in downtown. A short walk from most things you'll need, and lots of good restaurants. The owners were very prompt at replying to emails. If you want a nice coffee shop, go to Redchurch just across the road! And if you need groceries, go to Nations in Jackson Square.

A few things I already listed weren't super obvious, but I worked them out fine. Hopefully my review will help you on those. My one weird complaint is that the building isn't super accessible - there's a lift, but there are also a few steps directly after it (I was on floor 2), and also a few steps within my apartment from the hallway down to the living area. So if you're a wheelchair/cane user or otherwise can't manage steps very well, maybe contact the owners to see if you can get an apartment that doesn't have these problems. Wasn't an insurmountable issue for me personally, just having to carry several heavy suitcases was a bit more difficult!

just Netflix, and clean place

long time and several messages to check-in, didnt have a key for the main door (yes for the apartment) Free parking spots are not correct, woke up to find 2 parking tickets = 60 dollars strange security deposit, i was reumbursed after but the headache.

The location of the property was perfect, less than 10mins walk from the bus/train station, also a walking distance to Downtown and everything around. The apartment was also very comfortable.

Too many rules

Nothing

Paid $200 for a room for one night. The owner of the hotel asked to send him an additional 200 dollars before check-in, we sent another two hundred dollars. We provided all the necessary documents for check-in. As a result, we were never checked in. That's how I was left at night on the street in a foreign country. I've traveled so much and I've never had any problems with check-in. You should treat people better and not make money from them dishonestly. Such fraud is apparently considered the norm in Canada. You should be ashamed! I don’t care if you lie to people to justify yourself - your name will still remain dishonest.

Full kitchen, clean washroom, good dinning room area

Bed was not comfortable, old bed sheets and pillows. Sofa was uncomfortable to sleep. Notice in the ceiling what appeared to be a blinking light coming from a fixture, potentially a camera that can see through the bedroom and living room. Found that uncomfortable. Paid $10 dollars for what was advertised as a crib for my son and received an old play pen for children with some old blankets at the bottom which is not suitable for a baby.
