The only thing I didn't like was the location. This property is located on a hill. So I had to walk up and down a fairly large hill to get to my hotel. Also, the hotel was at the back of a conglomeration of buildings, which meant it was facing away from the street. So I had to walk around the building to get to the street. Of course these issues are not relevant if you drove there or have access to a vehicle.

The Guest House is a revamped residence so the rooms are spartan but very clean. I appreciated the open kitchen with dishes & appliances—making tea with an actual kettle was a bonus.

You get what you pay for. Cheap, okay bed. Room had a door with rust, and shared bathroom. If you just need a place to sleep, it’s good.

The Guest House was exactly what I needed to stay near Western University. The staff was welcoming and friendly. Coffee was available in the common room every morning. It was very quiet and located on lovely grounds.

The owl nest was a nice touch but the entrance is super hard to find. But for the most part, my broken window and my service dog was not a problem!

It's an easy walk to University Hospital and affordable however the property is really rundown. Dirty carpets, old furniture, paint peeling, and lumpy bed. If price and location are your top priorities then it's worth booking.
