I honestly think this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. In recent years I've stayed in a lot of the highly commercialised chain hostels, and nothing against them (a bed's a bed), but this is such a refreshing change from that -- you can tell the love that's gone into every aspect of the design in this place. The owners are so kind and clearly love/know the area well. I got a heads-up from them about a nearby street festival that I wouldn't have known about otherwise, and suffice to say was thoroughly grateful for it! Hamilton would've just been a quick overnight stop for me otherwise, but I ended up changing my train times just to stay there longer and appreciate the city. There's a guest-curated map of local highlights, there are board games and books galore, it's small enough to be friendly rather than overwhelming -- this whole place feels like a true ode to community. And they have guinea pigs!

The staff was very welcoming! Check in was very simple and fast. I got a tour of the house by the staff upon arrival. They provided towels for the hot shower, and good breakfast which included oats, cookies and cereal. I appreciated this very much! The kitchen was very well organized with labeling where each utensil is located so not to search thousands of drawers to find the right thing needed. Also, there were clear instructions on keeping the place tidy and clean, so the guesthouse was very clean and the guests were very respectful of these rules. I stayed in the faust room which was very spacious and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Thank you so much staff! My stay with you was amazing.

Everything was very nice. Good concept. Affordable and unique experience at Hamilton if you want to enjoy a nice and home-like moment along with nice staff and guests from everywhere. All appliances and other stuff around are available for you. Ideal not only for solo travelers but also small families.

For a hostel, Pring Guesthouse is excellent with a very affordable pricing. The owner was friendly and very helpful, let us checking in late, and showed us around the building before leading us to our room. Free breakfast with a variety of cereals and milk. The kitchen is very well stocked with utensils, cups, bowls, cooking equipment, a kettle, a coffee machine and etc. We did not cook in the kitchen but I am sure one can easily utilize the kitchen fully. I am most impressed by the washrooms! Lots of washrooms on site and they are SUPER CLEAN with lots of free, clean and absorbent towels. Super easy to check in and check out too.

I liked the fact that no one disturbed us during our 3-day stay. We met the owner just once at the check-in, everything else was automated, non-invasive, smooth, and relaxed. We booked a separate room next to the door. At first, I thought it would be too noisy, but it was not a problem. There is a place to eat, a place to park a car, a place to do laundry - I'd say it's like staying in the house of your not-so-close relative who's busy with their own stuff and don't bug you at all :)

We traveled for the whole last year and this was the most amazing accommodation we have been to. The house is beautiful, everything is made with love. Our room was really cozy and the bathroom and kitchen were super clean. The kitchen has everything you need and much more. They have a lot free groceries, a good oven, big refrigerator and all kitchen gear you need. For breakfast they offer free cornflakes, milk, and coffee and tea for the whole day. You can also make your laundry for free. And the best of all this is the heart warming owner. He give us a super warm welcome, we felt good from the first moment. We would love to come back. Thank you very much.

Wonderful host! Tim was incredibly hospital and engaging. It felt like I was staying at a friends place. I loved the common areas (living room with lots of books, a very well stocked kitchen, and a patio space outside). I felt very safe, comfortable, and welcome. The guesthouse provided many amenities that I was not expecting! Laundry, towels, free food, a lock for my locker, bathroom supplies, books, etc. This place just had great vibes, and I wanted to stay longer. Thank you so much!

Loved my stay here. The facilities are super welcoming and cozy, I felt right at home. The furniture conveys a very traditional and old school feel but that makes the charm of the house. The owner was super friendly and welcoming too. I loved that it wasn't over managed and all the little details made it feel more like staying at a friend's place than in a hostel. There was shampoo, washing machine and dryer with washing powder, coffee/tea, cereals, etc. all open and free to use without complicated regulations. I was lucky enough to have the dorm room all to myself and quickly felt like I'm living in my own holiday home. I don't know about the noise if the hostel is fully booked, as you might hear other people, but that isn't any different in any other stay. The beds are comfy, there were adjustable bed lamps, bedside tables, lockers and enough sockets available. The location is quite central and it's easy to get to every place of interest quickly. Would definitely come here again!

Really comfortable stay for a hostel, the single room has everything that's needed. Easy to park outside, coffee, tea, cereals and cookies available for breakfast in the dining area.

It is a very nice, clean and quiet place. Everything is cute and neat: kitchen with some freebies, washrooms, common room and dorms as well. The building itself is old but renovated to be very modern-looking. The location is very nice too - just minutes away from the shopping mall or bus stops. The lady who met me was also very nice and explained all that is happening without anything excessive, just right. I also liked the value for money - it's very great
