The location offers walkable access to restaurants and transit from a quiet escarpment neighborhood. Some reviews note narrow stairs and clawfoot tubs that may challenge mobility, and a couple mention small rooms or TV/Wi‑Fi issues. A good choice for travelers who prefer a personal B&B experience over a standard hotel.

The owners are very friendly and genuinely interested in their guests. The view of Hamilton from the top balcony is fantastic. Several restaurants and shops are walkable. Other attractions are just a short drive away. Breakfast was terrific as well. I would definitely recommend.

This cozy property is nicely situated over looking Burlington Bay. The host is friendly and very personable. We found her helpful and accommodating. The only thing that is a negative is there are many stairs going to the rooms. This is just the way the house is built but it may be an issue if there are problems climbing stairs if mobility is a factor.

Süße nette Unterkunft. Ich fand es großartig.Das einschenken hat super geklappt. Die Treppe zu den Zimmern ist etwas eng und für jemanden mit Gehbehinderung etwas schwierig. Man wird aber mit einem sehr sauberen Zimmer und Bad belohnt..Das Bett ist bequem und hoch.Für kleine Leute gibt es extra ein kleinen Hocker. Das Frühstück ist der Hammer. Reichhaltig und sehr lecker. Die Gastgeber super zuvorkommend, Ich würde jederzeit wieder kommen.

Our stay at the Rose Arden bed-and-breakfast was exemplary. The owners went above and beyond to take care of us and satisfy our every need. They served wonderful, nutritious, gourmet breakfasts in their beautiful dining room. It felt like a five star restaurant. Their home is filled with beautiful art and ceramics that they have created themselves. It is a lovely, old home that is spotlessly clean and has a special sun room that overlooks the Escarpment. We would definitely recommend it to everyone.

Comfortable bed and lovely amenities in our room. Spectacular views from upper level porch overlooking the city and Lake Ontario. Home cooked farm fresh breakfast was delicious! Great restaurants within a 5-20 minute walk for lunch and dinner. Gwen and Ken were such gracious hosts who made us feel right at home.

Amazing place. 125yr old Victorian home. Beautiful done. So Charming. Gwen was amazingly friendly. Breakfast was fabulous. The sitting room with fireplace, over looks the mountain view, over the city and lake. Wow!! Amazing sunsets and rise. I Can't stop looking out the window!! I will be coming back here for sure! Thank you for a great sleep (bed was so comfortable and great pillows) and a deep tub, great for soaking in!!! Such a quite relaxing time. Highly recommend 😄👍

The hosts Glenn and Ken were so warm and attentive in all areas of my stay. They were so helpful in navigating my way around the city and to secure transportation. Breakfast was so delicious while meeting my need to be gluten and dairy free. I literally was not hungry until dinner time! Slept wonderfully in a clean, cozy, comfortable room! Looking forward to staying here again when I return to Hamilton. Highly recommend Rose Arden B & B, especially single women travelers!

The hosts, were very friendly and accommodating. I arrived later than planned, and had some food allergy considerations that they were most were quick to address for me. I had a two day course I had to attend, and the property was within a 6 min walk of where I needed to be, which was great! The home is situated on a quiet street that overlooks the city valley and waterway. Lots of great dining in the area. The room I had was a single bed with it's own ensuite. The room was well-appointed and cozy. It's an older character home so it isn't without its squeaks and sounds, but I would recommend this property for anyone looking for a place to stay close to the area! Thanks, Gwen & Ken!

It was a nice stay. Gwen is very pleasant and the view from the sun room is amazing. Be prepared to not sleep in as it is an old house and you can hear others clunking about. Also, bring your own shampoo etc. Our room did not have a standing shower, just a hand held attached to the tub, so if you have mobility issues, this could be a problem. Also, the cable TV freezes a lot so it is difficult to watch. The breakfast was nice and Gwen is VERY accommodating for food sensitivities. For $175 all in, we likely would not stay again, but it was pleasant enough.

À quelques minutes, à pied d'un arrêt de bus qui mène au coeur du centre- ville. Vue sur la ville et promenade qui longe l'escarpement qui s'étire juste de l'autre côté de la rue.

The owners are very friendly and genuinely interested in their guests. The view of Hamilton from the top balcony is fantastic. Several restaurants and shops are walkable. Other attractions are just a short drive away. Breakfast was terrific as well. I would definitely recommend.

This cozy property is nicely situated over looking Burlington Bay. The host is friendly and very personable. We found her helpful and accommodating. The only thing that is a negative is there are many stairs going to the rooms. This is just the way the house is built but it may be an issue if there are problems climbing stairs if mobility is a factor.

Comfortable bed and lovely amenities in our room. Spectacular views from upper level porch overlooking the city and Lake Ontario. Home cooked farm fresh breakfast was delicious! Great restaurants within a 5-20 minute walk for lunch and dinner. Gwen and Ken were such gracious hosts who made us feel right at home.

Gwen & Ken provided a wonderful restful stop on a very busy weekend. The view from their property was absolutely fantastic. The room was wonderful, bed so comfortable, and the glassed in common area was peaceful to sit in and enjoy the night view.

The hosts Glenn and Ken were so warm and attentive in all areas of my stay. They were so helpful in navigating my way around the city and to secure transportation. Breakfast was so delicious while meeting my need to be gluten and dairy free. I literally was not hungry until dinner time! Slept wonderfully in a clean, cozy, comfortable room! Looking forward to staying here again when I return to Hamilton. Highly recommend Rose Arden B & B, especially single women travelers!

Our stay at the Rose Arden bed-and-breakfast was exemplary. The owners went above and beyond to take care of us and satisfy our every need. They served wonderful, nutritious, gourmet breakfasts in their beautiful dining room. It felt like a five star restaurant. Their home is filled with beautiful art and ceramics that they have created themselves. It is a lovely, old home that is spotlessly clean and has a special sun room that overlooks the Escarpment. We would definitely recommend it to everyone.

I loved everything about Rose Arden. I had a very comfortable overnight stay in a single room in a lovely home that was perfect for my visit with an old friend who lived nearby. It was great value and in a beautiful quiet location with an amazing view. The host couldn't have been more helpful. And the breakfast was wonderful. If I visit Hamilton again I’ll definitely want to stay at Rose Arden.
