Perfect honeymoon hide a way
February 17, 2013My husband and I were married at the end of September and wanted somewhere for our honeymoon that was low key and a hop skip and a jump from Pennsylvania. This took us to NOTL and The Old Bank House. NOTL is the perfect place for a romantic and relaxing honeymoon. We absolutely loved The Old Bank House. The owners... more

Best B&B in Niagara-on-the-Lake
November 19, 2012My husband and I stayed at The Old Bank House for 3 nights as part of a fall getaway. We spent our October trip exploring Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Ontario wine country. We loved our stay at Old Bank House and feel fortunate to have discovered it online. The location is perfect - quick walk to the main street and... more

Very friendly owners and AMAZING breakfast
October 25, 2012
My girlfriend and I stayed there for just the one night last weekend. We found the owners to be very friendly and helpful. The house is situated in the perfect area just a short walk to the main street with all the shops and restaurants. There is a nice park across the street with amazing views over Lake Ontario.

Best kept secret by the lake
October 25, 2012We have been to the OLd Bank Inn three times now. Even entertained my cousin from the UK. Their response was "WOW" amazing breakfasts. Ideal location and free parking, which in Niagara on the Lake is a must. Thanks Michael.

Great breakfast, good value
October 22, 2012We stayed for 2 nights last weekend. Hotels in the area were charging $400 a night the same weekend. This B&B was only $189, very good value for the area. The room is definitely not luxury but we did not pay luxury prices. We arrived very late and Michael were very helpful in making sure we were able to get... more

Pretty Face, Great Location
August 28, 2012The main floor of this B&B is full to the brim with mostly Asian antiques, furniture, and decorative pieces. It is lovely to look at and interesting to learn about. The host, Michael (I never spoke with Judy), was not initially helpful but as the time wore on-we were there four nights- he became more forthcoming. The breakfasts were delicious... more

Third visit and looking forward to our fourth
August 19, 2012We looked forward to our third visit to the Old Bank House and, once again, it lived up to our expectations. The setting is bucolic, right on the lake and away from the noise of downtown, yet a few minutes walk to the theatre and the golf course right down the road. The Arbor Room was large and comfortable.

Great stay
June 03, 2012We stayed at the Old Bank House for four nights in May 2012. It was a beautiful, quiet, and restful place. The owners were lovely and very helpful when we asked for directions and suggestions for spots to visit. The breakfasts were AMAZING.

Not worth the money
October 02, 2011We stayed at the Old Bank House in August 2011 in order to be in the same B&B as other people we knew and have breakfast together. It is a lovely building in a lovely location. However, for $276/per night I expected to find very nice things like bed linen, towels, shampoo, comfortable bed. We had none of those things.... more

very disappointing
October 01, 2011We recently stayed for the weekend at The Old Bank House with 3 other couples. We had stayed there several years ago and looked forward to our return. The house has newer owners now and it was a total disappointment. The bed was hard and ordinary as were the thin towels. The breakfasts were small and service was slow. The... more

Great location, food, and service
July 24, 2011My husband and I just enjoyed a very pleasant stay at the Old Bank House. It is conveniently located across the street from Queen's Park on Lake Ontario, a couple of blocks from the main shops and restaurants. The decor is cozy, I'd describe it as "shabby-chic". Luxury hotel? No, but that wasn't the experience we were looking for on... more

Perfect in Every Way
July 08, 2011We have absolutely nothing but praise for Old Bank House and will definitely be coming back again. Old Bank House is an exceptionally well appointed property. It was everything that we had hoped for; extremely comfortable and in a great location.

Appalling attitude, inflexible services and irresponsible behaviour
July 06, 2011While The Old Bank House may be a charming location, the same cannot be said for their customer service. Many weeks in advance, I booked a two-night stay online – twice-confirmed via telephone calls to them, and had a voicemail confirmation from Judy, the owner. Still, always one to double-check details at the last minute, I called two days before... more

Great B & B, wonderful food & rooms, great hosts
June 24, 2011
We've stayed at The Old Bank House every year for the last 10 years. Beautiful, clean, large, elegantly-appointed guest rooms. Lovely art- and book-filled sitting room. Spectacular gourmet breakfasts served in window-lined dining area. Balconies, porches and flower-lined terrace allow leisurely enjoyment of lake and park views.
2 minute walk from the Lake Ontario shore. 3 blocks from theatres...

Rude with a 'Tude
June 15, 2011A group of 4 couples in our 50’s & 60’s spent a weekend at The Old Bank House. Many of the prior reviews are “spot on” regarding the owners and their affinity for demeaning their guests. We had set up the arrangements via a series of phone calls with “Dr. No,” the woman proprietor, where we received our listing of... more

I read all of the negative reviews and went anyway
July 12, 2010I must say I was more than satisfied with our 3 night stay. I agree the chairs in the room are not the most comfortable things I've ever sat in, and the TV was rather small. And they don't serve breakfast until 9:00 am. However the location is great, the breakfast is amoung the best I've ever had, the rooms... more

Never Again
October 03, 2009We booked this Inn for a special occasion and emailed the owners ahead asking that we have a room with comfortable seating and an area to just be able to sit, read, and relax with a reliable internet connection. We were told that the room available had seating and should be very comfortable. Unfortunately the "sofa" and chairs in the... more

We picked a wonderful time to be there -- warm, sunny days. The room we stayed in -- the Pine Room -- had two windows (one in the bathroom) overlooking... more

WOW Should have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express
August 20, 2009The house is nicely situated at the edge of a park overlooking the lake. This is the only positive comment we have about our stay/visit at the Old Bank House.

Nice B&B managed by people who don't seem to enjoy being in the service industry
December 17, 2007
A very nice hotel, unfortunatly owned and managed by a truly cold, inflexible, and unpleasant couple. Experience living under your parents roof and rules all over again. Unfortunate that they are unacomodating, but still a nice b&b with good breakfast, as long as you like it the way they want to prepare it.
There is Internet (as advertised), but it...

Nice B&B, great location
November 14, 2006We had originally booked a night at the Hilton Garden Inn / Niagara-on-the-Lake (which is actually located quite far from downtown NOTL). Anyways, we had not checked into Hilton yet and were exploring NOTL. While walking along the lake, we saw this interesting B&B with a vacancy sign. After a tour of the available rooms, we decided that the River... more

Worn and Threadbare
September 19, 2006Our return to the Old Bank House in 2006 after a 13 year hiatus was very disappointing. We stayed there several times from 1989 to 1993, and have found that changes in ownership directly impact the quality of the experience. The breakfast served was nondescript and bland compared to the French cuisine we experienced previously at the Bank House, and... more

European charm; Canadian ambiance--Wow
June 30, 2006The Old Bank House is conveniently located two blocks off the shopping venue in Lake of Niagara, and nestled right on the lake. This B&B is decorated with remarkable European and Asian charm. The owners have incorporated an incredible number of interesting souveniers from their many, worldly travels. The sitting room is a must-see! This isn't your typical "country-style" B&B... more

The house is nicely situated on a park overlooking the lake. Very nice to look at, as was our room. The atached bath seemed to be newly renovated. The property is well maintained.
Upon checking in at about 5:00 p.m., our host advised us that breakfast the next day would be served at 9:00 a.m. We told the host that,...
