What guests think
Residence & Conference Centre - Kingston offers no-frills, dorm-style accommodation that many guests choose for its budget-friendly rates and simple, functional rooms, while others note occasional noise from hallways or building systems.
Cleanliness is often praised, though several reports mention worn linens, odors, or dirty bathrooms and sporadic maintenance issues. Rooms follow a plain dorm layout with twin beds (sometimes quite high) and fridges; many find mattresses or pillows uncomfortable. Expect limited extras such as no in-room TV or microwave and paid parking, offset by generally helpful staff with some lapses. Overall, it suits budget-minded travelers seeking straightforward, short stays.

You really need to have at least one microwave in the building . It is a student residence so the kids will also be able to use it during the school year. had to walk rightr across the campus to get access to one .

Good option if you need a quiet place to stay and do not care for luxury. It is a dorm. The room is clean. The towels are really rough. You might want to bring your own. There is a mid size fridge in the room. Note, parking is extra 8$ per day.

The first room we were shown wasn’t clean - there was blood on the floor. The second room was ok. It’s a bit dated but acceptable for what we paid. One microwave in the building but no other cooking facilities. Got kept awake the second night by slamming doors and told “it’s probably students who are still staying here”. Laundry is available but it’s minimum $10 for a card and a wash and dry cycle on costs $3.75 total. Overall a bit disappointing.

We’ve stayed here before, so knew what to expect. Checkin was easy. Basic accommodations, single bed separated by a bathroom with shower only. Bed is ok, linen is ok. Pillow provided is flat - another one would have been nice. Fridge in the room, counter but no microwave, coffee maker etc (which was fine). Laundry and vending machines were available.

Overall, great place to stay. Rooms have counter with faucet, washroom with shower, and air conditioning. Minor issues: room has only one light, so it's best to bring your own lamp, and each bed has only one thin blanket, so bring extra blankets. Laundry machines work great, but require a card for which you must put a minimum of 10$. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Building appeared well maintained.

We originally booked for a 3 night stay but the Residence and Conference Centre did not have a few items I find essential. I have stayed at 3 other Residence & conference Centers in Ontario and Quebec and they offered TV in the rooms, Ice, and a microwave which I did not get at this Residence and Conference Centre. I would suggest that the TV room be hooked up on each floor with a HDMI cable to easier accommodate streaming since there are no tv's in the room. A Coffee/Tea would also be nice to see in the room, nothing fancy but at least a small coffee station. I was able to borrow a kettle from the main office. Also a microwave on each floor maybe in the Tv Room would have been greatly appreciated since there is note one in the room. The size of the fridge in the room was great. The problem however was there were no ice trays in the fridge and no ice machines in the facility. At a minimum add ice trays in the refrigerator. This facility was the most basic place I have stayed. Very clean and nice, the value for money would be excellent if the items i mentioned were available. We only stayed the one night instead of 3 nights

It is a dorm converted to a hotel during the summer. It is a very clever idea. The price is fair and the palce was clean. I think it needs a TV in every room.

The carpet of room was smelling terrible. The receptionist at the front desk gave us some detergent powder to spread since there was no air freshener or no chance of changing our room by herself. The beds were creaking and uncomfortable to sleep. It doesn’t seem like the management and the room service verified the cleanliness and the condition of the room before assigning it to the guest. It wasn’t a pleasant stay due to these problems even though the location seems good.

There was a mechanical system above my room that would kick in and out at night and throughout the night that was loud and unpleasant, and kept waking me. Loud enough that I was able to record it and had the staff listen to it when I checked. I pity the student you will get that room. Otherwise very clean and comfortable room and very central.

In morning the staff person said they must have briefly stepped away from the phone when I called.

This property has single beds (it's a dorm), which are separated. Good to keep in mind if you're staying with a partner.. For a short and affordable stay, it's convenient. At check in, the staff wouldn't honour the price I was quoted on Expedia, and was not very forthcoming with helpful information. But once Expedia contacted the manager, I was politely refunded the difference upon check-out.

I would have given 5 stars if the check-in experience had been better. The staff member handling the process (a young man) was continuously engaged in a personal conversation with a friend and seemed more focused on that than on assisting us. He hardly looked at us during the interaction, which came across as inattentive, unprofessional, and quite rude—though I suspect he may not have even realized how inappropriate it was.

The lower cost and proximity to where we need to be is great. So are the towels. I do not like the sheets or pillows. The mattresses are fine but not fabulous. It can be noisy, especially if it is busy - the rooms are not sound proof at all. Usually the individual climate control fan mutes the quieter noises. There is no cleaning while you stay there, but they will give you more towels or garbage bags. The cleaning staff are fabulous - friendly and helpful. There are some friendly and helpful front desk staff.

Nice quiet spot with basic amenities. No breakfast included as it is not a hotel. Shampoo was provided but no conditioner. Pillows were truly awful plastic things. Beds were comfortable. The only chairs were the hard plastic desk chairs. Not much around the campus to do and nowhere to eat within walking distance. Parking is not included in the price. I asked reception to print me a detailed itemized receipt for expensing purposes, but only the manager could do that and she was only available at certain times that didn't work for me, so I will have to email to request one if my work requires one. Overall a fine experience but a more appropriate price would be $50-75/night.

It is a no-frills experience, but great value for your money considering how expensive hotels are in Kingston. The bed was very comfortable, though strangely very high from the floor. There were toiletries and clean towels, and the room is quite spacious. It is a quick taxi to downtown, or you can take a 20-minute bus ride. Probably your best option for a comfy and budget friendly overnight stay.

Low price. Not far from downtown. Had to pay separately for 24hr parking, which included in/out. Acceptable for overnight stay during travel through Kingston.

You get what you pay for as this is a college dorm. Washroom was stocked with toiletries. Bed wasnt as comfortable to my liking but understood that when making the booking. Close to the waterfront trails which is nice. Defonitely, a great way to help reduce costs.

It is a university residence and staying there would help subsidize their costs. Close to Kingston and Lake Ontario

The residence was convenient, well priced and not too bad if you aren't a 5* person. We had 4 adults in 2 double rooms which was perfect. Wish they had a coffee maker and iron but there is a cafeteria in the next building.

You really need to have at least one microwave in the building . It is a student residence so the kids will also be able to use it during the school year. had to walk rightr across the campus to get access to one .

I am used to a memory foam mattress so their bed was a bit hard and their pillow is like a hospital pillow for obvious reason, such as Covid (easier to clean), so I suggest if you can, bring your own. Staff was amazingly friendly and welcoming. It is a college room so don’t expect the Ritz but it is clean and safe. Plenty of shelves to put clothes and stuff away for a longer stay (mine was two nights). Fridg is a decent size, like an apartment/hotel size. So you can bring food/drinks/medication etc…. WIFI was stable and fast. You have to pay for parking, I believe 8$ which is still cheap compare to downtown. On site, Tim Hortons and a Cafeteria (in a different building) open until 14:00 ish, and walking distance (5-7 min), a Tim Hortons, Subway, Asian take out and a Tavern type restaurant. Bus stop not too far. The whole campus is a smoke free environment. Plenty of vending machine for drinks. Laundry in the residence but no soap/fabric softener machine dispenser. Their system works with a card which can be obtained at the reception and refilled. There is an ATM in the lobby. Overall, it was a good stay, cheap priced (compared to 130-270$ in hotels). I would definitely go back if needed.

We’ve stayed here before, so knew what to expect. Checkin was easy. Basic accommodations, single bed separated by a bathroom with shower only. Bed is ok, linen is ok. Pillow provided is flat - another one would have been nice. Fridge in the room, counter but no microwave, coffee maker etc (which was fine). Laundry and vending machines were available.

This is a bare bones accomodation. It is very much not a hotel. Room just has a small washroom with a stand up shower, a small, uncomfortable bed and a plastic chair. There's no TV, hair dryer or most thing you get at a hotel. If you just need a place to sleep for a night and don't care about amenities, it's fine. Not much in the surrounding area so if you want to do any shopping or a bite to eat you will have to travel to another part of the city.

We originally booked for a 3 night stay but the Residence and Conference Centre did not have a few items I find essential. I have stayed at 3 other Residence & conference Centers in Ontario and Quebec and they offered TV in the rooms, Ice, and a microwave which I did not get at this Residence and Conference Centre. I would suggest that the TV room be hooked up on each floor with a HDMI cable to easier accommodate streaming since there are no tv's in the room. A Coffee/Tea would also be nice to see in the room, nothing fancy but at least a small coffee station. I was able to borrow a kettle from the main office. Also a microwave on each floor maybe in the Tv Room would have been greatly appreciated since there is note one in the room. The size of the fridge in the room was great. The problem however was there were no ice trays in the fridge and no ice machines in the facility. At a minimum add ice trays in the refrigerator. This facility was the most basic place I have stayed. Very clean and nice, the value for money would be excellent if the items i mentioned were available. We only stayed the one night instead of 3 nights

Nice quiet spot with basic amenities. No breakfast included as it is not a hotel. Shampoo was provided but no conditioner. Pillows were truly awful plastic things. Beds were comfortable. The only chairs were the hard plastic desk chairs. Not much around the campus to do and nowhere to eat within walking distance. Parking is not included in the price. I asked reception to print me a detailed itemized receipt for expensing purposes, but only the manager could do that and she was only available at certain times that didn't work for me, so I will have to email to request one if my work requires one. Overall a fine experience but a more appropriate price would be $50-75/night.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Keep in mind that this is residence for college students, so these are dorm rooms. They are plain but functional. No TV. Not even a clock! No coffee maker. No hair dryer, No iron. Can't beat the price for this no frills place to flop.
