Pring Guesthouse

The staff was very welcoming! Check in was very simple and fast. I got a tour of the house by the staff upon arrival. They provided towels for the hot shower, and good breakfast which included oats, cookies and cereal. Free coffee and tea as well. I appreciated this very much! The kitchen was very well organized with labeling where each utensil is located so not to search thousands of drawers to find the right thing needed. Also, there were clear instructions on keeping the place tidy and clean, so the guesthouse was very clean and the guests were very respectful of these rules. I stayed in the faust room which was very spacious and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Thank you so much staff! My stay with you was amazing. Love and light <3

Had a great stay at this guesthouse! The rooms were well put together and very clean. The shared spaces were also well decorated and clean, it definitely felt like a home. Such a gorgeous house from the exterior and interior. It was a unique place to stay to meet other travelers from around the world. Very centrally located, within walkable distance to the train to Toronto. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I'd highly recommend others to stay here, especially considering their prices!

Great stay in a cute guesthouse! Location was close to the center of Hamilton, easy to get to events and restaurants. Host was incredibly nice. Hostel is clean and quiet, with nice folks passing through. Showers and bathrooms were clean as well. Towels, coffee, tea, and cereal are provided. There is a spacious common room with books and a TV, also a backyard. Beds are comfy but I wish there was an outlet for each bunk (there are some along the walls but I couldn’t reach them in the top bunk). Laundry available if needed. Also, very affordable!! I really appreciated having a safe, pleasant stay without breaking my wallet. So worth it, would stay here again.

Very accommodating. Lovely features. Great books in the common area. All the furniture is clean. Place is tidy. Kitchen area is shared, but in tip top working order. Shared dorms with good enough bedding for privacy has Your own lockers to protect Your belongings.

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed. Around 15 mins walk from downtown, this guesthouse offers all the things a hostel need, and more. The stay was brief but one can feel Tanya and Tim put their heart into it, taking very good care of the historic house, and having a very homey and comfy common room. They are very attentive to my request, and friendly. Free laundry and washing agents, dining area with ample supplies of utensils, clean bed and bathroom, cereal breakfast.

Excellent stay. Well equipped and generous host. Would surely recommend.

We had a fantastic stay here in August 2023. We found ourselves last minute without somewhere to stay in Hamilton and stumbled across this hostel/ guesthouse, fortunately they'd just had a cancellation and had 2 beds free for the night. Tim couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful as a host. The whole place was very clean, secure, everything you needed and above and beyond in terms of the thoughtful extras (breakfast items in the kitchen, board games in the common room etc.) We stayed in a mixed dormitory and were very comfortable. Would definitely stay again, although, through no fault of the Pring guesthouse, the area leaves somewhat to be desired.

I would go back and stay in a private room but first time experience in a hostel so that's awesome for me was a short stay but next time will be just chill and see what Hamilton has to offer dorm was interesting but my bed was comfy mine didn't squeak like the other one did ... Forgot ear plugs 😆 and someone who was in the room beside kept going in an out the room around about 530ish clinking of the breakfast bowl . But ahh the owner I met was pleasant and I would like to experience more of the architecture next time ... Better than paying hundreds of dollars for a Brand name hotel with bad reviews .. as for the area it's sad sad but at least the police station is near by . And the hospital so that's cool !
