I'm new-ish to Airbnb traditions and norms, so this experience was new to me. Long story my original lodging was unavailable for whatever reason. Debra & Derek made all of the necessary changes to get me into a very nice substitute. The communication was on point and I never had any "what's going on moments" from the time I arrived in town to the time I entered my place. I was even provided with no charge parking on the property which was amazing because there was no parking on the street. They couldn't know this but the location was walking distance from the place I was visiting so I didn't need to drive very much. The apartment I stayed in was clean, quiet and very comfortable. Zero problems with how everything shook out and nothing but good things to say about my host and their ability to problem-solve when forced to pivot. Thanks Debra & Derek!

Nice and clean. Instant communication back from hosts to answer even the silliest questions. Couches a tad uncomfortable at first- but once I found all the extra pillows and blankets I was very cozy. Recommend and would stay again. Neighbourhood a tad scary if on own but building very secure. The extra toiletries a nice touch. Lots of subscriptions on TV for those lazy nights in. Great experience!

Would stay here again. Great value when considering location and size. Very flexible and helpful.

The ad states the area to be extremely safe. There were times where I felt unsafe and/or uncomfortable. With the area being so busy, there are many homeless people - many of which that like to hang out directly behind the building. Furthermore, there was shouting that was occurring in the hallways between other occupants. If you have a car that needs to be parked in the back, I noticed someone else's had been keyed (cannot confirm if this happened while at the location) but it was concerning having an unprotected car back there. The hosts, while fairly responsive, were slow to respond when an issue was presented. There was a mouse in the unit which terrified me. When I messaged the host, they said they could drop off traps and they have been aware of the issue (guests have clearly not been informed and they are not taking necessary precautions to keep them out of the units). Lastly, the kitchen is ill equipped if you plan to cook. The unit was a cheap stay, so that was fine.

Clean, good value, walkable neighbourhood close to downtown. Loved Coffee Run Co for nice coffee and Steve's Open Kitchen for breakfast, both just around the corner.

i stayed two months in the Airbnb. The apartment was great with close proximity to Hamilton downtown, a catholic church, restaurants, bus stations to various places and Go Train station. The buses can take you to places like Barton, Burlington, Ancaster and college like McMaster University and the Columbia International College etc. The host was responsive to my requests, we enjoyed our stay in the Airbnb.

Nice and easy check in, good for a night stay!

AirbnbJul 2026

I had a great stay at this Airbnb. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The check-in process was smooth, and the host was friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout my stay. The location was convenient, and I had everything I needed for a pleasant visit. I would definitely recommend this place to others and would be happy to stay here again.

AirbnbJul 2026

Clean and cosy.

AirbnbJul 2026

Great hosts! The Airbnb is walking distance from TD Coliseum which was great. Would definitely stay again!

JustinBooking.comJul 2026

Great location; clean, quiet and 5 min walk from downtown. Well worth the stay. Happily return! Positive: Great location - central to downtown Hamilton. Very clean with great facilities; bathroom on small side but more than adequate. Check-in was reasonably straight forward but did need to call host as didn't receive code (via email) to key box; again, not a major hassle. More than happy to stay again and 100% recommend if you're staying in Hamilton. Negative: Bed squeezed terribly when you rolled over! Other than that, nothing to complain about.

AirbnbJul 2026

Très beau logement bien situé. Les hôtes sont très réactifs, aidants et agréables. À noter qu'ils ont plusieurs logements et que nôtre logement ne correspondait pas aux photos, même s'il était super. À noter aussi que le stationnement est disponible, mais moyennant des frais supplémentaires. Nous recommandons!

AirbnbJul 2026

Well secured apartment, beautiful furnitures. Just old building

Negative: The bathroom was very small, and the shower ran out of hot water quickly

AirbnbJul 2026

Mel and Alex were great hosts.

AirbnbJul 2026

Alex & Mel were great hosts through and through! Very responsive and friendly, kept clear communication with us at all times. Airbnb was a charming spot right by all the amenities you need by downtown Hamilton. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again. Many thanks!

SherriaBooking.comJul 2026

Positive: It was clean and comfortable. Very spacious and beautiful. Negative: I was not 2 happy about the stairs. But what can you do. Other than that everything was fine

Amazing place, the kitchen was so nice and had a beautiful sky light which created so much natural lighting. There was so much to do around the city. And felt right at home every time my girlfriend and I returned to the Air BNB. The bed was as soft as a cloud and put us at ease every time we laid down for the night.

AirbnbJun 2026

Alex and Mel were great at communicating, the location was great for our needs.

AirbnbJun 2026

尽管房东回复及时,主动沟通,但入住体验太差了:1、房间尤其是客厅与照片差异较大,设施陈旧质量差;2、马桶盖与马桶不匹配,漏空一大块,散臭味;3、洗手池太小,很容易弄湿地面和碰头;4、房间电子锁有问题,说明是关门后30秒自动锁上,但实际根本锁不上,我们外出3个小时回来房门仍未锁;5、空调的窗户挡板扣不上,冷空气进入房间,房东维修后不久又掉下来了;6、厨房经常跳闸

AirbnbJun 2026

This booking was not only convenient but very clean, extremely reasonable cost and we very much appreciated the a/c on prior to our arrival! Thx u so much for a very comfortable stay :)

AirbnbJun 2026

We had a great time! It was very hot outside and we found we had to set up our own air conditioning. Once setting up the air conditioning the place cooled down, it was upsetting having to arrive to a very hot location after being in the sun all day. Place is nice and renovated but it is an older build. The location is also super quick to the go station but the walk at night is kind of scary until getting to the main road. Everything is close so that was convenient. Hosts respond super quick!

AirbnbJun 2026

Had another fantastic stay! This is officially our go-to spot every single time we visit Hamilton. The place is always spotlessly clean, super comfortable, and perfectly located. The host is incredibly welcoming and makes check-in a breeze. Can’t wait for our next trip back!

AirbnbJun 2026

Nice place in downtown

AirbnbJun 2026

It's a charming place very well located near good restaurants and the Hamilton Go station!

Alex and Mel were great hosts. The apartment was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Hosts were kind and responsive throughout stay. I would stay here again if I am back in Hamilton another time.

MichielBooking.comMay 2026

Goede locatie in een leuke buurt van Hamilton en een gezellig appartement, maar het interieur kan wel een update gebruik Positive: De locatie is uitstekend: een mooi gebouw in een gezellige en aantrekkelijke buurt van Hamilton, op loopafstand van de leukste straten, restaurants en winkels. Direct achter het gebouw is betaalde parkeergelegenheid beschikbaar, wat erg praktisch is. Het appartement zelf is knus, waardoor het een fijne uitvalsbasis is voor een verblijf in de stad. Negative: Het appartement zou wel een opknapbeurt kunnen gebruiken. De wastafel en de douche waren aan de kleine kant en de bekleding van de eetkamerstoelen zag er versleten en niet erg schoon uit. Ook vonden wij het bed voor twee personen wat aan de kleine kant.

LucioBooking.comMay 2026

Positive: The apartment is in a convenient location and is very spacious, with good, functional appliances. Negative: I had a major issue during my stay: the boiler broke, leaving me without hot water for my final night. Because it occurred late at night, the host was unable to resolve it, and I was forced to take a cold shower. While the host did provide a small amount of compensation in booking credits, it did not adequately account for the lack of essential services during my stay.

AirbnbMay 2026

Character filled apartment near amazing restaurants. Do know it is an older building so sounds are apparent when people come and go. Hot water needs to be ran for a while before it kicks in and found the apartment to be dusty. I was in a different apartment than pictured; you may want to confirm with the host if this is important to you. Overall good stay!

JulieBooking.comMay 2026

Excellent value , spotlessly clean, great hosts Positive: Lovely well equipped and clean apartment , good for transport links/ right next to bus stop Negative: Downtown Hamilton is quite rough

AirbnbMay 2026

There is a lot of good food near by. Short walk to the convention center. The place was clean and super chill.

AirbnbMay 2026

Pleasant stay, great hosts. Place may get a little noisy, but that's to be expected in older buildings.

AirbnbMay 2026

very kind people and very responsive. the place was also nice and clean. the only issue we found was that the shower and lights weren’t working properly (ex: cold water, flickering lights, etc). i am sure if we said something to the hosts, they would try their best to help out and fix it, however we only really slept at the Airbnb so it didn’t feel necessary.

AirbnbMay 2026

Alex and Mel were a great help throughout the stay. I’d stay at their airbnb again

AirbnbMay 2026

Great location and price, right next to the TD coliseum, local restaurants & mall. Host were very responsive and place was cozy and clean. Would highly recommend!

AirbnbMay 2026

A great clean safe place to stay. Lots of great bars and restaurants around. A great host

AirbnbApr 2026

The place is in a great location with very responsive hosts. Stay was for a week so there was some hiccups with the main door not working a few times but the hosts were extremely responsive and had it corrected within minutes! The place was very nice kitchen was well equipped and the bed was extremely comfy! The area is very nice theres something to do for anyone and it’s decently quiet for being downtown! I would say for anyone who is built larger be weary of the shower size as it is an extremely small shower id say if your over 150lbs your gonna feel like a pig on a roast rotating around the shower because it’s so small but the rest of the space is very nice laid out and spacious! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a vibrant area and great hosts!

NiklasBooking.comApr 2026

Great spot for a short stay in Hamilton.

Great hosts, felt very well taken care of. The place is also fantastic and close to some really cool places.

AirbnbApr 2026

it was excellent and I enjoy my stay

RegineAirbnbApr 2026

Very lovely place, hosts were also so communicative the whole time when I had questions! My only concern was the unit given to us was a bit different from the photos in the Airbnb (maybe it was a different unit) and the bathroom door couldn’t be closed. Although the host sent maintenance to fix the bathroom door right away so still giving them a great rating. Would recommend to anyone and would stay again!

TealAirbnbApr 2026

This was a great apartment with a nice layout! It’s close to restaurants and downtown while being tucked away from the noise. Thank you!

Nice clean place in walking distance to hospital. Stairs leading up to third floor unit are pretty steep so be mindful about carrying up a suitcase.

StevenAirbnbMar 2026

I had to chance to stay here this past weekend and from the minute I walked in the door I absolutely loved the place. It was the perfect size, well equipped and nice and close to everything I needed. I really loved the look both inside and outside. Alex and Mel were super easy to deal with, and extremely quick to respond anytime so had a question. It came with clear and easy instructions on how to access the suite.

ShreshtaAirbnbMar 2026

Great accommodation. Perfect location with great restaurants in walking distance. The hosts are very responsive and helpful. Although one suggestion - if the windows have some blackout curtains or something darker that would be nice. The window covers do not block any light at night. As a person who requires full darkness while sleeping, I had to wrap a shirt around my head to get myself to sleep. But in any case, I enjoyed my stay. :)

VijayAirbnbMar 2026

very nice place thank you

EmmelieAirbnbMar 2026

Fijne airbnb, heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Keuken met alles erop en eraan, goede tv, lekker bed (wel een erg zacht matras) en een prima badkamertje. Helaas is de woning wel erg gehorig en hoor je de buren regelmatig

GordieAirbnbFeb 2026

Really enjoyed my stay, totally recommend as its open concept and has a classic style to it. 10 out of 10

JustinBooking.comFeb 2026
KatrinaAirbnbFeb 2026

It's a great building, classic build with radiant heat, and plenty of space to enjoy. Super comfy bed and bedding. The shower is on the smaller side but not restrictive. The kitchen was well stocked and worked great. There are a few bus stops right on the main street and a small grocer just a 2 min walk away. I had an issue with noise from the upstairs unit but Alex & Mel were very quick to respond and the noise settled down.

SaraAirbnbFeb 2026

A lovely space in a great area! Easy check in and they were very responsive any time I reached out.

KaushikAirbnbJan 2026

The apartment was good, some more pots and pans would have been useful. Other than that great experience. Hosts are very quick in replying to you.

AirbnbJan 2026

Alex & Mel’s place was the perfect home base for my trip to Hamilton! The apartment was very specious and had everything I needed for my stay. I was a bit confused when I ended up having a different unit than was shown in the photos in the listing that I had booked, but the apartment was good and I would definitely stay again! Thanks!

AirbnbJan 2026

Loved the place.....Very responsive hosts....flexible with requests....didn't seem like they were just doing a job, but very eager to please

AirbnbJan 2026
