Top Downtown Kitchener Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels by Marriott Guelph Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We weren't expecting such a clean, business-looking hotel just adjacent to a university. Everything was great from the staff, to the lobby atmosphere, rooms and sleeping comfort."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Waterloo

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was awesome. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and the toiletries were very nice. The breakfast was filling and delicious. The only thing that was a bit of a bummer was that they have a couple of ev chargers that weren’t working, but that was very, very minor, as there are were other places in the city to charge."

Comfort Inn Cambridge - Highway 401

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and well maintained. The staff was very wonderful and helpful. They were great. The hotel is in a great location, close to anything you might need such as shopping, food, gas, the highway, etc. It didn't feel as if you were right in the middle of the city, it was just enough on the outer limits that it was nice while still be convenient."
