I can see how it can get very hot and uncomfotable in the summer if the rooms are full with only a few fans. Twin bed was comfy but don't expect to get your best nights sleep. I really enjoyed the creative, artsy vibe the hostel had. A handful of cool things to do/stay busy inside if the weather doesn't hold up. Plenty of books, movies, ping pong and live music now and then. Located in the theater district with plenty to do within walking or biking distance. A great starting point if you're looking to explore Buffalo. I didn't use the kitchen but it was fully equipped. Coffee and oatmeal is free but you are more than capable to make your own meals. Overall: If you're looking for a budget bed and unique stay you can't beat it.

My girlfriend and I spent one day and one night in Niagara Falls and we went to Wanderfalls…read moreGuesthouse. Andre & Caroll were just awesome, full of great advice and incredbly helpful. They allowed us to leave our luggages to their place even after checking-out so that we didn't have to carry them while visiting the falls. They took us to our bus station for a price a lot cheaper than the cab. It saved us from a lot of hassle! The guesthouse itself is really nice and comfy. The chambers were nice, and the guests when we were there were cool too. Living room and kitchen are for everyone to use and it's really nice. Free pancakes, coffee and tea in the morning! It's also located from walking distance from Niagara Falls and that's really convenient. We couldn't have find a better place :)

Great place to stay in Niagara Falls!…read more Pros: - Clean - Safe - Comfortable - Great hosts/owners - Delicious pancake breakfast included :) I stayed in a dorm with a friend of mine, and since we visited in off-season we had the room to ourselves! It would have been a little cramped with four people and their luggage (which was capacity), but was perfect for the two of us. Carroll and Andre, the owners and hosts are great people, very friendly and helpful. We were driving up from West Point and arriving late at night. Carroll made arrangements for us to check in after-hours, and it was super easy. She greeted us in the morning and gave us a map and great tips on the attractions, while Andre made us pancakes. I would certainly stay here again, and would recommend it to anyone. Things to note: - There is only one bathroom with a shower, and it is shared amongst the rooms. Theres another half-bath in the hostel, but only one with a shower. - The house is old, though the furnishings are new and in good condition. If you're looking for a hostel, this is perfect. If you're looking for a plush B&B, this probably won't be enough for you.

If you are looking for a full service hotel this is not the place, but if you want to try out a hostel I can't recommend this place highly enough. There is a full kitchen to use and even some free food available. The common areas are very comfortable and inviting. It's more like staying in a house with friends than staying at a hotel. I will definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Hamilton.

Made me want to recycle and take shorter showers. They didn't provide body wash and shampoo like the other hostels I've been too, but they had friendly donation baskets placed around the property that had what I needed. Not having central air was an adjustment. But nonetheless am admirable experience!

They even held our bags like a hotel at no extra charge before our bus departed. The only bad part about the hostel it's 30 minutes away from most of the tourist attractions. However, you can easily use the We Go bus service to get to and from the falls attractions within 10 minutes. Bonus you can also use the same pass on local Niagara Transit. You can also rent a bike which is cool. If you are going to stay here check out the patio. It's a great place to eat. The best part of my stay is they didn't charge the tourist tax. (The tourist tax in Niagara is illegal for those that don't know) The place amazing and would stay here each time I come to the falls.

The accommodations are kept clean, and the king size bed was firm and comfortable. Every morning they serve a good hearty "breakfast-in-bed" delivered to your room at whatever time you choose the night before. Between 7am to 10am. The hotel is very close to the overcrowded Clifton Hill area which is home to an amusement park atmosphere. The hotel is also within good walking distance to the Falls, about a 20 -30 minutes walk along the promenade on the Niagara River. However, it's quiet at the hotel at all hours thankfully. Sterling Inn appears to be one of the better hotel options in the immediate touristy area. *There is a AG Restaurant on premises , as well as Spa for your pleasure.* Thank you for reading. Have a good day!

There is a restaurant below the inn which was fabulous. Staff were welcoming and warm. Being from out of the country I had numerous questions while I was there and the staff I met were patient and helpful. The room was modern, clean, and neat. I rarely heard any of my neighbors or outside noise. The bed was comfy, water pressure in the shower was good, and the AC worked properly. Breakfast in bed is delivered each morning if you request it. It was a lot of food for me so I opted out the rest of my trip.

Additionally, the customer service was incredibly poor. I was double-charged--once on my card and again on my mother's card, which was only meant to be used for the initial deposit. When I raised this issue, I was told that the refund to her card was sufficient, which was extremely frustrating considering the refund I requested was for the seven nights I had canceled. When I called Robin (from the UK) to address this matter, he was hostile, refused to let me explain the situation, took offense to me calling him sir, and then abruptly hung up on me mid-sentence. I DO NOT recommend Planet Traveler! Instead, I suggest staying at the SameSun Hostel next door--the staff there were incredibly patient, kind, and helpful.
