Top Downtown Kitchener Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Guelph

8/10 Good

"Very good hotel with clean room and excellent location."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Waterloo/St. Jacobs

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, good selection at breakfast. Lobby, hallways and breakfast area very clean room was clean but a little worn and the carpet looked like it had dog hair and the couch had what looked like scratch marks on arms from a pet. Bathroom and kitchen area of room was clean."

Waterloo Suites Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, walkable, free parking, large clean room, comfortable bed. Very good breakfast that includes hot items. Staff is professional & very helpful. Stayed here last year for couple nights, will return if need to stay in the area again."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Waterloo

8/10 Good

"Overall, we had a comfortable and pleasant stay. The room was in good condition, and we appreciated some of the thoughtful features around the hotel, especially the water cooler in the lobby and the small convenience store with a good variety of snacks and essentials. We didn’t use the pool or sauna ourselves, but they seemed quite popular with other guests, which was nice to see. The main area that could be improved was breakfast. It was decent, but the selection felt quite limited and basic, and we also noticed that some of the plates were not very clean. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with a few areas for improvement."

Hilton Garden Inn Kitchener/Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at this Hilton in Cambridge on several occasions and have never been disappointed. The room was basic, but very clean; front desk staff was efficient and helpful as and when required. While we did not use the amenities this time, we have previously used the pool and the dining area and found them to be quite satisfactory. All in all, the perfect hotel - as far as we are concerned."
