What guests think

The Arlington Hotel - BW Signature Collection is a charming, historic boutique stay with literary-themed rooms in central Paris, Ontario, praised for friendly staff, walkable location, and characterful spaces, though limited parking and nearby street construction can impact convenience.

Rooms are imaginative and often comfortable or spacious, but some are small, show wear, and suffer noise from HVAC, plumbing, or the street. Cleanliness earns frequent praise, while the included breakfast ranges from good to underwhelming, with reports of limited hot items, dryness, or items not being refreshed. The Library Bar and on-site dining receive compliments but can have limited hours, and a few guests encountered event cancellations. Expect a character-filled, downtown stay best for travellers who value charm over modern uniformity.

We got the last spot in the parking lot and it was very tight getting in and out of it. Bath tub was very slippery, an accident waiting to happen. Not that it mattered, no regular channels on TV were available, only SAMSUNG PLUS.

We had a wonderful stay at the beautiful Arlington Hotel here in Paris Ontario. The staff are welcoming and very friendly, and made us feel very much at home. There are great common spaces on the main floor of the hotel and a lovely side and back patio to sit and enjoy food and drink while people watching. We found our bed and Nina Simone room very comfortable and nicely decorated. We highly recommend the Arlington.

The hotel is quaint, very nice but I had problem with the parking. The lot was taken up by members of the hotel management. I had to park a block away. I was able to get my car into the lot finally at 5:30. Very inconvenient.

This hotel has lots of character being a very old building and is well located downtown Paris close to restaurants and the river - very pretty location. Being an older building though, the room was fairly small, with sloped ceiling and smelt a bit musty. They did a great job making a fun theme to modernize it, ie. based on different famous people.

The room we stayed in was overlooking the Grand River St. Lovely view, however, if you’d like a quiet night choose one of the rooms in the back, as there was the odd late night motorcyclist… The room was super clean, cozy (loved the pictures on the wall), and the bathroom was spotless. Super grateful for the deep bathtub, and it was nice to relax our muscles after a long day of bike ride. Breakfast was good. All in all we had a lovely stay.

Beautiful hotel constructed circa 1851. Uniquely themed rooms which are large, have amazing ceiling height and plenty of windows in our room. Due to the age of the building sound transmission or attenuation is difficult to achieve, so you may experience a lot of exterior noise sick as street vehicular traffic, but this is typical due to the construction of the building. A beautiful library bar, as well as cellar bar. Wonderful walkable establishments near by, but note some stores or establishments are not open on Monday and Tuesday. Would definitely return.

Quaint room, we should have gone for a suite because our standard room was quite small. Toilet right behind the door was not ideal. Don’t like fabric curtains that get drenched when you take a shower. And wasn’t a big fan on the central heating and cooling system— extremely noisy. And not to mention the parking situation. Had to park several blocks down the street because their parking lot is soooo small. Not fun when you have two young children.

We didn't know when we booked this hotel that the rooms were themed. What a great idea for such a fantastic place. We were lucky enough to get the Mary Shelley room and it didn't disappoint. The room was clean, the bed was more comfortable than most hotels I've stayed at. The only downfall was the a.c. unit was louder than expected. I slept through it, but my wife had some issues with the noise. The complementary breakfast was perfect. A good selection of food and drinks to build up your energy for wandering around town.

Property/room has character. Clean, well located. The air conditioning system is loud and we had a minor problem with the toilet which we understood management was going to look into - we stayed one night and the problem wasn't urgent. The continental breakfast is sufficient but nothing fancy. We would stay here again.

The hotel was very convenient as I was attending a wedding on the ground level of the hotel. The room was very nice and clean. The different themed rooms was a neat touch. I did have some issues, though. I could not get the deadbolt to work on my door, so my door was never able to be properly locked once inside. The hotel is quite noisy surprisingly. Not sure if it’s the plumbing, or heating/AC or a combination of all of these. It’s an old building so I expect some noises, but I found it very loud at times. For such a small town, I found the street noise outside of my window quite loud too, but I guess since it is at the main intersection on the main street in Paris that’s to be expected. My door also had a large gap at the bottom that let in a lot of light from the hallway which also was not ideal when the bed faced the door. In the morning I found my bathroom absolutely freezing, almost like the window had been open all night, but obviously it wasn’t. Overall, despite the issues I experienced, the hotel was very nice, very clean, and above all else, convenient. Although pricey for one night’s stay, I would consider staying again if needed.

Great one night getaway. Restaurants within walking distance Paris Beer Co nearby, too. Had the Oscar Wilde suite, huge space. Heritage property so expect all that comes with that (bit darker room, slightly wonky floor), but a really cool place to stay. Will be back, without question.

Starting from the moment we walked in the door, we were treated like valued guests. The front desk clerk was so kind and gracious, she went out of her way to bring us wine glasses and a bucket of ice when she saw we arrived with bottle of wine. Our room was clean and comfortable, we sat and enjoyed our wine before heading out to dinner. The front desk clerk gave us a 10/10 restaurant recommendation for our dinner plans. The restaurant was a short walk away. We absolutely loved our girls getaway to Paris and the Arlington Hotel

The hotel room was very clean, spacious, and had great air conditioning. Bathroom was clean and had extra toiletries which were appreciated (soap, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer). There was also an ironing board which we needed and were glad was there ! Breakfast was included, and it was ok. I’ve had better breakfasts at other hotels if I’m being honest. The only complaint we had, which is of no fault of the hotel staff, was the loud wedding party who came in after 2am and would not stop loudly talking, yelling, and coming in and out of the room until past 4am. My partner unfortunately did not get sleep due to this. We even phoned in a noise complaint past 3:30am. If hotel guests can’t show basic etiquette for their neighbours like being quiet after a late night out, there should be a hotel staff to give them a warning. The hotel’s security guard did come upstairs before 4:00am, but he told one of the wedding party guests that he was “doing a security check.” I would have hoped he’d be transparent and share that someone had complained about how rowdy they were.

We had a wonderful stay at the Arlington! We stayed in the Tolkien room and it was spacious and comfortable, and we enjoyed the decor. There are boutiques, cafes and restaurants on the same street and more within walking distance. There is also access to trails to go for a nice walk nearby. It was so nice that breakfast was included and we enjoyed the variety of things to choose from.

Included breakfast is convenient with decent variety, but feedback is mixed: items can be dry, basic, not refreshed, or run out early. The Library Bar and on-site dining earn praise yet have limited hours or a modest menu on some nights.

Really nice rooms which were themed, tastefully. Clean & comfortable. Couldn't fault the rooms at all , not spacious but absolutely fine. Restaurant turned out to be the bar with meals available. Options on the menu were limited but good selection of drinks. Unfortunately we stayed over on quiz night which wasn't the most relaxing. The included breakfast was adequate but nothing special and when we went for breakfast there seemed to be a very 'hands off' approach

Lewis Carroll's suite was adorable and spacious! A little too hot and couldn't turn the heat down:/ The coffee machine was broken. The breakfast was disappointing unfortunately.. I guess I hoped for something more various (dry egg pieces, small dry bagels, no cream cheese, cheese or ham or bacon) for that price, but maybe the locals have a different opinion.
