Top Canada's Penitentiary Museum Hotel Reviews

Strata Hotel

8/10 Good

"The beds were okay, I have stayed at other places and the beds were much better. The bathroom was very nice even though the toilet seat was loose. The TV didn’t work. We booked this place as we were driving late at night. When we got there the door was locked and a phone number was provided but nobody answered. They should have a buzzer for after hours. The gentleman that let us in was friendly at first but seemed to have an attitude as time went on. I would stay there again."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Kingston

8/10 Good

"This property is undergoing renovations and although not complete this didn't affect our stay. The property was full when we were there but oh so quiet and peaceful. Pam at front desk was so very helpful and welcoming"

Confederation Place - Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It is a great place to stay. It their TV entertainment system sucks! We tried to watch regular CBC TV and for more than a day it was disconnected, down, whatever! Staff were quick to try to balance this inconvenience by discounting the car parking, which was a nice gesture!"

Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We last stayed here during Covid and had such an awful experience that we left part way through our booking and vowed never to stay here again…roll on now and WOW, what a difference! The hotel is clean and tidy, the staff are amazingly helpful, checking in was a breeze & the hotel bar is a lovely spot to have a few drinks and the desserts are delicious! The room was very clean and spacious - we will be staying here when we are next back in Kingston!"

Hochelaga Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This Inn is in a peaceful neighbourhood, within walking distance of numerous restaurants. Parking is limited, but the staff were very helpful in explaining where we could park nearby for free. The breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed our stay. The only challenge, which we were aware of ahead of time, was no elevator access and quite a few stairs to navigate with our suitcases."
