The host was kind and hospitable. The room was clean and comfortable. There is a cozy common place where there are games, books and a desktop. Not sure if we can use it and the printer too. The bathrooms were clean too and towels were provided too. They also provided toiletry and hair dryer . Thus, overall, it is a good choice to stay. I will choose here when I travel Hamilton

The property and staff itself are amazing but it is located on one of the most dangerous intersections in Hamilton. Absolutely worth the stay but just be careful of the area.

Amazing place to stay! Quiet, safe, clean, home-like, and the hosts are super sweet. The house deco has character and feels very welcoming. The only thing is the upper bunk I had was a little squeaky...but no biggie. I enjoyed my time here and will come back when I visit Hamilton again.

The Pring Guesthouse is a warm and welcoming, extremely clean house with lots of fun little extras including a full kitchen, free cereal and treats, a bookcase full of board games, and tv and books for entertainment. There’s lots of fun maps and brochures about the Hamilton area. The hosts were very kind and welcoming and helpful and the hostel is quite charming and affordable. I would stay again. Thank you Pring Guesthouse!

Kitchen was great. Very clean. Everyone in the hospital was respectful of one another. I didn't bring my pet but something tells me she probably would have been welcome. The staff, the staff was great the owners are great. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to stay in a nice clean quiet place that is inexpensive and yet very Central and possesses all the amenities one could want. Down to earth people.

Two guest sharing the dorm were great guys, respectful and quiet: genuinely nice. I didn't meet the noisier third who arrived after 2am cursing to himself for whatever reason. Can't fault the place for that. The house is UNBELIEVABLE! Tanya is amazing. Thanks for everything! (I think I left my earbuds there, heh)

Stayed in the Beasley room for the night and it was exactly what we needed. Located in a lovely heritage building, the room and house is full of character. Super comfy and clean, both the room and common areas were very well kept. There are multiple well stocked washrooms and the kitchen looked recently installed or renovated. The staff was present, kind, and helpful. Would come back in a heartbeat!
