8.8/10 Excellent! (162 reviews)

A no frills but clean place to stay. Might not be good for family stays. Ideal for individual use especially if you plan to use the room mostly to sleep.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (18 reviews)

I enjoyed my stay at the Quincy House Hotel! The building was very stylish and well-maintained, the location was conveniently located within the Holland Village neighborhood, and the staff were extremely attentive and accommodating to my needs, as well as the other guests. All of the common areas were clean and welcoming. In addition, my room was exactly what I expected from the images and descriptions provided upon booking. Honestly, I didn't want to leave. I would absolutely book with them again and I highly recommend them.
