December 14, 2011
On one of the most attractive streets in town, lined with handsome 19th-century houses, this limestone building still manages to catch the eye. Erected in 1845 as a bank, it was made a private men's club in 1903 and a century later became an exemplary bed-and-breakfast. The large common rooms on the ground floor are furnished with oversize leather sofas and chairs, and the breakfast area is... more

Great stay in the heart of old Kingston
March 19, 2013Third stay at this luscious B&B. I'm not usually a big fan of these but this has the feel of a grand home of the 1800s and engenders genteel acknowledgement of other guests without feeling crowded and having forced conversations. The common areas retain the men's club feel, the breakfast rooms are sunny and bright, and the rooms peppered over... more

Beautiful B&B and delicious breakfast
March 09, 2013This B&B is a gem! A wonderful location for a visit to Kingston. The owners are gracious and interesting. Each room is beautifully appointed and the beds are extremely comfortable. The bathrooms use Aveda soaps, which is always a nice touch as well. The breakfast is what really sets this B&B apart though. A 4 course breakfast with numerous options,... more

The Best
February 17, 2013Easily the finest B & B in Kingston. Excellent rooms, ideal location, wonderful breakfast, and loaded with historic character. It was the first Bank of Montreal in Kingston in the nineteenth century. Exceptional staff. You don't need to look any further - this is the one!

Could be the best B & B in Canada
February 10, 2013This place was recommended to us by one of our Canadian friends. Kingston is a great place for a long weekend in Canada, central to the thousand islands, and this must be one of the most interesting places to stop. It seems a little expensive for a B&B at first but it has a great atmosphere. The rooms used to... more

Beautiful and comfortable room, excellent location, delicious breakfasts
January 08, 2013My husband stayed at the Inn for two nights in late December. The Inn's location in Kingston is *perfect*. It is a slow 5-minute walk to both the downtown (restaurants and shops) and Lake Ontario. The Frontenac is a beautifully restored and well-maintained historic building. The enormous first floor "living room" has many different comfortable sitting areas, a large selection... more

Beautiful B&B in the heart of Kingston
October 20, 2012My husband and I have stayed here several times over the years. We have always enjoyed our stay at this quiet inn. The rooms are nicely decorated, the beds comfortable and the breakfast very good. The location is perfect, about a 5 minute walk to restaurants and shops but away from noisy main streets.

Very nice inn
September 21, 2012We spent one night in the Peterson Room. A very nice room. My one criticism was that, although the bathroom is very pretty, it is not particularly functional - although the clean towels are nicely stacked on a shelf, once they are used, there is nowhere to hang them. Similarly, once in the tub/shower, there is no place to put... more
