Top Hamilton Central Hotel Reviews

Quest on London

10/10 Excellent

"Central location, easy to find. Staff have been good and helpful. Great in-room service, Very nice facilities."

Ramada by Wyndham Hamilton City Center

8/10 Good

"Check in and out was easy, the staff were friendly and overall we had a great experience. The hotel is located centrally with an easy walk to bars, cafe etc. Parking was a bonus and also one of the reasons I selected the hotel. The hotel itself was quite dated compared to the photos. In saying that though our room was clean and tidy."
