The Pring Guesthouse is a warm and welcoming, extremely clean house with lots of fun little extras including a full kitchen, free cereal and treats, a bookcase full of board games, and tv and books for entertainment. There’s lots of fun maps and brochures about the Hamilton area. The hosts were very kind and welcoming and helpful and the hostel is quite charming and affordable. I would stay again. Thank you Pring Guesthouse!

The property and staff itself are amazing but it is located on one of the most dangerous intersections in Hamilton. Absolutely worth the stay but just be careful of the area.

I appreciated the comfort of my guestroom, with it's generously sized bed and other furniture.The features allowed easy storage and retrieval of my travel possessions.The kitchen was large and well- equipped for preparing meals as one would at home; the bathroom was spotless, and possessed modern hardware features and well sorted,abundant grooming supplies essential to my requirements.The comprehensive and well laid out amenities in all spaces enabled satisfying rest and thorough and snappy preparation the next morning.I ended my stay invigorated and grateful not only for the quality of my accommodation,but also for the friendly service offered at all times during my stay.

Great place for a quick stay

Super cute place close to downtown. Breakfast was included too! It was a small room and smelled a little moldy but other than that very happy with the stay!

Amazing place to stay! Quiet, safe, clean, home-like, and the hosts are super sweet. The house deco has character and feels very welcoming. The only thing is the upper bunk I had was a little squeaky...but no biggie. I enjoyed my time here and will come back when I visit Hamilton again.
