What guests think
Reviews of Canalside Restaurant & Inn describe a small, canal-side stay with spacious, comfortable rooms, friendly hosts, and a scenic, walkable location near shops and waterfront paths in a quiet town setting.
Many rooms feature kitchenettes and thoughtful touches, and several guests report quiet nights even when the pub below is lively. The restaurant and pub earn steady praise for tasty food and a lively, welcoming atmosphere, with some noting varied menus and gluten free accommodations. Common cautions include multiple stairs and no elevator, which can challenge those with mobility issues, and a few notes about minor wear or light staining in shared areas. Expect a characterful inn best for canal watchers and travelers seeking a cozy, walkable base.

The rooms are located upstairs over the restaurant. We were greeted and checked in by Greg, the owner. Very friendly, made us feel at home. Even offered to help bring up our luggage since there is no elevator and quite a bit of stairs. We had room #6, beautiful, very spacious, very clean, no dingy smell. I would have liked to have two more towels and I’m sure he would have given them to us, but I forgot to ask when we went down for dinner. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet even thought a band was playing in the restaurant. Restaurant food is delicious and the staff are so friendly you feel like family. Hubby enjoyed watching the cargo ships come through the canal. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you for your hospitality.

Our first time in Port Colborne, quick visit. This hotel and restaurant is a fairly popular spot. Nice spacious room in an older building, above the restaurant. We had the room with the canal view. Room is well-equipped with a kitchennette for longer stays. Characteristic of the older building, the wood floor was sqeaky and no elevator, but this was not an issue for us. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant, and they accommodated my wife's request for gluten free options (celiac). Nice walking promenade across the road, along the canal.

The room was terrific, well appointed and clean. The maritime decorating theme was great. The books, games and puzzles in the shared hallway were appreciated and the books in the room very interesting. The bed was firm Kitchen was well stocked and efficient. Parking was good but the stairs a bit dicey after the snowfall and not cleared. Would certainly stay again! Greeted by very friendly staff!

We had a fantastic long weekend stay. Room was spacious with tons of storage - we came on motorcycles so with helmets and gear, sometimes your typical hotel room can be cramped but this was perfect. Kitchen was well appointed and we loved laying in bed with our coffee, watching the boats come through the canal. Very walkable and plenty of dining options.

Totally fine. Suite was well furnished with a random mix of stuff, but a little rough around the edges in terms of wear and cleanliness. Coded deadbolt locks engage before the doors closes which is annoying.

We've stayed in both a regular room and in the 3 bedroom apartment. We loved it both times. The proprietor is friendly and helpful. The property is lovely and the location is outstanding. The apartment (stateroom) is not in the same building as the pub, but it is just a few buildings down the road. The food is outstanding and the pub atmosphere is very welcoming. Overall, we love this place and highly recommend it.

Our first time in Port Colborne, quick visit. This hotel and restaurant is a fairly popular spot. Nice spacious room in an older building, above the restaurant. We had the room with the canal view. Room is well-equipped with a kitchennette for longer stays. Characteristic of the older building, the wood floor was sqeaky and no elevator, but this was not an issue for us. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant, and they accommodated my wife's request for gluten free options (celiac). Nice walking promenade across the road, along the canal.

Amazing inn, right where the canal and event was, very comfortable suite. Won’t be advisable for those with mobility problems going up/down the stairs. Otherwise, everything was cozy, perfect venue and host was very friendly and helpful.

I genuinely loved my stay here. The unit was so incredibly well thought out, unique and very homey. It s in an adorable street right across from the harbour. It was beautiful.

The charm of the old building and the street with its shops and location next to the canal made this an ideal place to stay for a brief get-away. The room was clean, well appointed, comfortable and quiet (no noise from the street or businesses below). The room-view of the ships going through the canal was a highlight especially with the cruise ship Viking Polaris docked across the way. We will definitely consider Canalside Inn the next time we look to stay in Port Colborne. We have repeatedly eaten at The Canalside Restaurant - great people, service and food.

We had a fantastic long weekend stay. Room was spacious with tons of storage - we came on motorcycles so with helmets and gear, sometimes your typical hotel room can be cramped but this was perfect. Kitchen was well appointed and we loved laying in bed with our coffee, watching the boats come through the canal. Very walkable and plenty of dining options.

The rooms are located upstairs over the restaurant. We were greeted and checked in by Greg, the owner. Very friendly, made us feel at home. Even offered to help bring up our luggage since there is no elevator and quite a bit of stairs. We had room #6, beautiful, very spacious, very clean, no dingy smell. I would have liked to have two more towels and I’m sure he would have given them to us, but I forgot to ask when we went down for dinner. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet even thought a band was playing in the restaurant. Restaurant food is delicious and the staff are so friendly you feel like family. Hubby enjoyed watching the cargo ships come through the canal. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you for your hospitality.

Great for watching boats on the Welland canal. Restaurant downstairs is great too and there are bakeries and other stores handy too.

We had a lovely one night stay here. The room was clean, spacious and comfy. It's right across from the canal so you can see the ships go through. The restaurant was quite good with a varied menu and there are shops and restaurants within walking distance.

WHAT a discovery! I loved my stay at Canalside -- the room was beautifully updated, but still had those historic squeaky wooden floors that remind everyone to be a little quieter (it worked!). The coffee maker produced great morning joe; the shower got hot almost immediately; the bed linens were soft and the towels were a perfect blend of absorbent and scratchy. I just wish I had asked the (very helpful, very personable) staff how to work the air conditioning...thank god they provided a portable fan!
