Top Downtown Kitchener Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Guelph

10/10 Excellent

"The property has been renovated, and it is lovely. The staff was very friendly."

Cambridge Hotel and Conference Centre

8/10 Good

"Staff was very friendly and the reception area was nice and clean. The room was huge with a large desk coffee maker and microwave with a little fridge on the floor. Aircon was old and extremely noisy. Flooring was in reasonable state. Large couch (pullout perhaps) and a queen bed. Disappointing as a king would easily within this enormous room but we had to make do with the queen. Bathroom is a decent size, clean but older counter / flooring. Toilet lose and wobbly but functioned. Cleaning staff should easily note the toilet should be tightened down. Restaurant on main floor is good with friendly staff and food was tasty, but expensive, you pay for the convenience. Breakfast was good although no coffee cups available and the juice glasses are more like shot glasses. Food was nice and fresh and eggs any style to order. 2nd time at this hotel and would stay again."

Waterloo Suites Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"We stayed at this hotel for several nights. The property is somewhat older and the guest laundry facilities could use some improvement, but we had a very positive experience with the customer service. When we discovered that the guest dryer was not working, the supervisor went out of his way to find another solution for us. Instead of simply saying the dryer was unavailable, he took the time to help us solve the problem, which we really appreciated. We later decided to extend our stay for another night, and the supervisor was again very helpful in arranging our stay. Although the hotel itself could benefit from some updates, the supervisor’s helpful, professional and solution-oriented attitude made a real difference to our experience. His excellent service was one of the reasons we decided to stay an additional night."
