Rose Arden bed and breakfast is a delightful retreat located high on a hill with a great view of Hamilton. It’s within walking distance to several good restaurants. Gwen, the gracious host, ensures a warm welcome and goes above and beyond to make guests feel at home. The house exudes charm with its cozy ambiance and elegant decor. Each morning, Gwen & Ken serves up a delicious spread that perfectly sets the tone for a day of exploration. They were also very helpful with suggestions on where to go and where to eat. Rose Arden is a true gem for those seeking comfort, hospitality, and a memorable stay.

Gwen & Ken provided a wonderful restful stop on a very busy weekend. The view from their property was absolutely fantastic. The room was wonderful, bed so comfortable, and the glassed in common area was peaceful to sit in and enjoy the night view. Breakfast was so delicious with so many home made items that it will be sorely missed. Decor in the home was so charming with so many items made by them. Will definitely be the go to for any stay in the Hamilton area.

This cozy property is nicely situated over looking Burlington Bay. The host is friendly and very personable. We found her helpful and accommodating. The only thing that is a negative is there are many stairs going to the rooms. This is just the way the house is built but it may be an issue if there are problems climbing stairs if mobility is a factor.

Thank you for taking the time to do such a nice review. Unfortunately we cannot do anything about the stairs, all the guest rooms are on the 2nd floor of our home. I do make a point of advising guests of that fact, especially if they indicate that they have problems walking etc...

The breakfast is awesome; Gwen is a more than excellent host. They were repaving the road in front, which was inconvenient, but Gwen did all she could to make it as easy as possible. Gwen took care of everything we asked for; the view is great, and you can walk to many restaurants. We would definitely stay there again if we were in the area.

It was a nice stay. Gwen is very pleasant and the view from the sun room is amazing. Be prepared to not sleep in as it is an old house and you can hear others clunking about. Also, bring your own shampoo etc. Our room did not have a standing shower, just a hand held attached to the tub, so if you have mobility issues, this could be a problem. Also, the cable TV freezes a lot so it is difficult to watch. The breakfast was nice and Gwen is VERY accommodating for food sensitivities. For $175 all in, we likely would not stay again, but it was pleasant enough.

The hosts Glenn and Ken were so warm and attentive in all areas of my stay. They were so helpful in navigating my way around the city and to secure transportation. Breakfast was so delicious while meeting my need to be gluten and dairy free. I literally was not hungry until dinner time! Slept wonderfully in a clean, cozy, comfortable room! Looking forward to staying here again when I return to Hamilton. Highly recommend Rose Arden B & B, especially single women travelers!

Our stay at the Rose Arden bed-and-breakfast was exemplary. The owners went above and beyond to take care of us and satisfy our every need. They served wonderful, nutritious, gourmet breakfasts in their beautiful dining room. It felt like a five star restaurant. Their home is filled with beautiful art and ceramics that they have created themselves. It is a lovely, old home that is spotlessly clean and has a special sun room that overlooks the Escarpment. We would definitely recommend it to everyone.

The hosts are so nice, Gwen especially. I was stayed there for the BLACKPINK concert. They are friendly and make you feel at home! There are no elevators but that’s alright, it was great nevertheless. I highly it recommend for those on a budget and looking for a safe & quiet place. It’s by the mountains and the view was amazing. The room I had was way better than I expected it was organized, clean and comfortable.I definitely would come stay again if I’m around the area.

Rose Arden B & B was like being at home. Gwen and Ken looked after us like we were family. There are beautiful walking/running paths along the escarpment and they have a large backyard with unbelievable gardens. Their breakfast was catered to our dietary needs, which was much appreciated. We stayed here to do the Arkells Rally (we booked well in advance) and it is accessible to “lower” Hamilton where Tim Horton’s Field is, but you have to do a lot of stairs if you want the most direct route. We looked at it as a great way to get some exercise. There are SoBi bikes at the bottom of the stairs to get around Hamilton. I would highly recommend this B & B if you’re staying in Hamilton.
