Great location and lovely staff. The hotel is old and beautiful and our room was huge (with gorgeous high ceilings) and clean. Breakfast was an English muffin, some cheese, a lovely glass of orange juice, & plenty of coffee. And there was fruit laid out. A small breakfast was perfect, as we were off to a Food Tour that started at 11:00. (On day 2, we were able to eat in our room while we finished packing. Excellent!) In our hunt for a hotel, we were looking for somewhere that wasn't as expensive as the chain hotels and we found it. But I suppose it was a "you get what you pay for" kind of experience? The water hardly trickled out of the shower. The towels & toilet paper were the cheapest there is. One jar of 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner was provided. The hairdryer was ineffective. Interestingly, there was a second little sink in a little closet nook on the other side of the room. I was excited to be able to brush my teeth while my travelling companion showered. Nope. Only scalding hot water (too hot to wash your hands with) came out of the tap. I'll go back, I'll just arrive with slightly lower expectations than I did this time. Addendum: I was going to rate the hotel 3 stars. But now that I've read through my review, I'm going to go for 4 instead. It did the trick.

Beautiful, quaint Victorian house, tucked in a sea of green, surrounded by heritage mansions. The rooms are large, bright and clean - antiques and furniture will take you back in time for sure. The continental breakfast was served with generous portions of toasted English muffins, raspberry jam, cheese and an absolutely gourmet coffee! Parking is available on the spot, and that's really helpful considering the 5-10 mins walking distance to downtown. Definitely a return in the future!

Friendly personnel in an old historic building. The rooms are filled with antique furniture that do not seem to match, but that does not take away from the experience. Room 303 The room and sheets were clean. The bathroom was small and the toilet is jammed in a place where people with long legs will need to get creative. I had to sit sideways or put my legs in the bathtub... It was worth a few laughs.

Beautiful boutique hotel in Kingston’s historic district. Wonderfully restored chateau in 2025, originally built in the 1880s. Walking distance to amazing restaurants and shops. We will be back.

Wonderful! I was making the big move to Kingston this fall, and couldn't take possession of my new apartment until a week after I had to start at my new workplace. The Hotel Belvedere made me feel right at home! The room was large, very clean, and very comfortable. The location is also amazing - 10 minutes to market square and the shops of Brock and Princess Street, and equally close to Queen's main campus and the waterfront! The breakfast in the morning was a really nice touch, especially when done in the lounge with a good paper to read. The staff are also amazing, kudos for them for being so welcoming and caring to all of their guests! Definitely recommending the Hotel Belvedere to all friends and family that I know that will be visiting Kingston!
