Stayed there while my husband was in the hospital and it was very nice and quiet, easy parking and the staff were very accommodating. Clean well space rooms.
Mostly exterior walks,entrance steps and below dish sinks in kitchen area. More important are the grounds need to remove winters leaves,branches and trash. A professional arborist should be consulted and identify scope of work needed. Very nice grounds with age. Remove vines that are killing trees.
Beautiful property, I’d like to walk this property in the spring!
Was asked to leave at 6am for being seen on camera in the 24/7 laundry room they provide for using the wrong soap to wash my clothes. Long story short after the security guards intimidation and harassment tactics didn’t work (because I know my rights and did nothing wrong) they called the police on me. Guess what, the police were on my side and even though I was treated poorly and harassed for hours by security which ruined my night. I was permitted to stay
Excellent.
The price
My fellow travellers were kept up by late night banging and talking. This was not the facilities fault. It was due to inconsiderate neighbours and an older facility. It used to be a convent. The suite itself was great with a kitchenette, nice bathroom and wall partially separating the queen bed from the two single beds. I will stay again.
The property is located near University of Western so it's convenient and walkable. However, the mattress is not in a good shape--sagging in the middle. It's not comfortable at all.
I stayed at Guest House On The Mount last minute for one night. I grew up in London so knew some of the history of the buildings. If you like history and going for walks this property is the place for you.
Very nice and quite space
I was travelling alone for part of the trip and felt very safe in this hotel. It was close to the London University hospital which is why I stayed there and it was recommended to me by the nurses at the hospital
Very clean. The building, all furniture and doors are a bit dated, but in working condition. Excellent value for the price! Would definitely stay there again.
For a short stay that is economical, this place is just right. The TV is smaller than my home PC monitor, but I never need to turn it on. Washroom even has make up removal towel to keep their own bathroom towel white and clean. Heater is in good working condition and facilities is good with washing machine, iron board, blowdryer and fridge in common area. Parking is at the back of the building which google didn't bring me there. dragging my carry on luggage along the icy ramp up to the building was a bit difficult, otherwise, no complain.
Convenient location The room temperature was too hot, but was adjusted
Room is good. Sidewalks and parking lot very icy. Not well maintained
A full mirror in the room would be nice.
Inexpensive adequate accommodation while staying during loved ones hospital stay.
Nice and close to university hospital!
Great location with a nice park and a little outside chapel. Great old building, with certainly a lot of history. The rooms are quite barren, no decoration and little amenities, maybe an echo of the monastic times. Little kitchen with fridge and all that's needed. Good place for longer stays.
Quiet and clean
The Rooms don’t have lock from inside ?
My husband was having surgery and the hospital was in walking distance to my room at the Guest House. There was shopping close by. It was great.
Its has a hostel vibes, clean rooms-corridors-common washrooms.
I was pleased with y room. It was everything I needed.
I believe this property can be best described as a hostel. Utilitarian, badly in need of maintenance, paint, some carpet replacement
Only thing missing was a small fridge in room
I was pleasantly surprised by the property. Room was clean, and it was very quiet - unlike being in a hotel where you hear guests in the hallway. It was difficult to find the front entrance as I arrived at night and it was quite dark, but after driving around the property, I found my way. Bed was comfortable, washrooms clean. Shared kitchen area and washrooms were very clean. Felt like I was back in university residence. Conveniently close to Western University. Would definitely book here again.
I have no complaints. Stayed there for one week and it was perfect for my purpose. Very clean! Everything I needed!
I like having access to a kitchen with tea making facilities (with Twinings Earl Grey) and a living room with a large TV. Nice atmosphere and quiet.
Room didn’t have shower. I was agree to pay extra to get room with shower, but hotel refused Expedia prices for another room. They required very expensive price for room with shower. I definitely will stay in another hotel next time.
I enjoyed the stay and will come back again. It would have been nice to have had at least basic cable and not just one tv channel available. An upholstered chair to sit in with small desk to place laptop for work. would have been handy Not sure why the moveable light over my bed did not function. I added a new bulb and tested the input which seemed fine. Info regarding the mall close by would have been nice as well as hours regarding availability to the chapel. A small room for exercise is strongly recommended I was surprised that there was no space with at least a bike or rowing machine. Very nice place of which I felt very safe just needs some updates.
I had a very comfortable stay. I enjoyed walking around the mountain and enjoyed the coffee in the morning. Thanks!
Super close to the university hospital
Good value. Simple but clean.
Nice and close to Western university.
Dirty room
Great customer service Mary Clay nice accommodation is Park
I liked the history of the building and found it quaint. I did enjoy my stay and the bed was comfortable, but as it is "no frills" I expected the pricepoint to be more reasonable than a hotel. The people were friendly and the location was excellent.
What service used to be like.
Upon arrival I was greated by the kindest, sincerest front desk person I have ever encountered. It was like coming home even though I have never been here before. The history of the building is fascinating, and the way the owners incorporated the old into the current is genius and respectful of the history. You get more then a bed for the night, you get an experience. This may be the first time in my adult life that I have felt like a true 'guest' at a lodging and not just a credit card.
I had a lovely stay
Easy to get to. Doesn’t cost too much for a cab downtown.
Kind of like staying in a dorm. Clean enough. Functional. Nice (although few) staff. Shared kitchen works well with hot plate and toaster oven. Room with kitchenette had fridge, dishwasher and microwave. But really not your typical hotel.
Love it stayed many times.
Nice for the price.
convenient for purpose intended
stay here all the time. best location for us
The area is nice, the property itself is a little oddish. The overall amenities and stay seems appropriate for the price, though there was an additional $15 on the bill that we did not anticipate or understand. I would stay again, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.
I liked it's location close to the Hospital
Wonderful stay
The room Was Good even with The two twin beds after just moving The one slightly my daughter was able to get throughout and into The bathroom even though Wasn't a accessable room she was only there one of the three nights and The other night I found it very quiet and slept well.i would definitely stay at that hotel again if we ever had to stay AT university hospital again
They need to clean and maintain the property. The outdoor surroundings was nice but not worth $213 Cdn for one night!! Will never stay there or recommend them
Very peaceful.
It was great
Sheets had hair but we asked for replacements and they accommodated us at a late hour, friendly staff, good facilities
Loved the location! We stayed in a twin bedroom with full bath. Nothing fancy but very clean. Our friends stayed in a family suite - very nice!
Nice m, quiet and clean
The bed is really good!
Bring your own shampoo!
nice quiet area
Great place and quite big with friendly staff
The price is right!
Nice room with a balcony. Bed was very comfortable and everything was clean. All the amenities including well equiped kitchen, dinjng area and lounge with large screen tv. Small tv in your own room. Bathrooms and showers were clean.
Good spot for hospital stays!
Great
It was clean and simple.
Awesome staff! Unique Accommodations!
We really enjoyed our stay in this unique accommodation. We stayed in the family room, it was extremely spacious, taking half of what was once the nunnery chapel, stained glass and all. It’s not fancy but very clean, and the staff was wonderful! Very convenient for getting to the University Hospital. Plenty of parking was always available. We even re-booked when we had to extend.
Clean & Comfortable - Excellent Staff
We had a great stay. We stayed on the 3rd floor, which required entering a code to have the elevator, it worked well. It’s a really unique, hostel like accommodation. Our room had a queen bed with bathroom. It was clean and comfortable but small and very dated and worn. It was perfect for what we needed and the staff was awesome!
very old building with minimum upgrade.
Didn’t like shared bath past the front desk.
My room could use a facelift. A coat of paint and a steam cleaning could do lots.
Handy to the hospital in London. We could bring our own food and there was all we needed to prepare and eat it in the kitchen and dining area. The price was very reasonable.
My initial room had an issue with the lock but they set me up with another room immediately with no hassle. Very modest but comfortable
We so enjoyed the spaciousness, the grounds, the full guest usable kitchen and dining area, the lounge, and the lovely sense of peace…and yes the comfortable beds!
Nice location.to campus
The price was right.
Best price in the area and perfect for a no-frills stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. Bedding was pristine.
We liked the shared kitchen to have our breakfast we brought with us and coffee, tea etc is available. The rooms are clean, the bed was comfortable. Staff very friendly.
Outdated..older plumbing,,especially for the rate i paid
Relaxing
Spartan stay.
Very spartan, dormitory type accommodations.
Not for long time but ok for a couple of nights. , no restaurant near
Very close to university. Place is very clean.
This is a retirement home. You need to go down the hall for a shower.
This was a former retirement home. For the price, it's good. If you are looking for a simple , clean place to stay - this is it. Yes, it is outdated, although it is clean .
I booked for two nights while my husband was in hospital. When I returned to the room on the evening of the first day, the bed hadn't been made. When I questioned this I was told that since Covid the staff no longer make the beds. I didn't stay the second night. Don;t waste your time and money
Great little place if you need a place for the more independent traveller. Very beautiful park like setting.
Different from picture
Easy walk to Western University
Property was difficult to locate as access was on a side road adjacent to the main road address. Room was quite small as it appeared to be part of a former retirement residence which looked very old and tired. The bed had a very soft uncomfortable mattress which caused me to wake up with a sore back. Also the TV was very small and only had two channels.
Really old facility without a private bathroom. If you want to take a shower after a long trip, it’s shared outside your room. I didn’t see that when I reserved and Expedia didn’t cancel my reservation! I had to go to another location.
Nice facilities for food storage, prep and cooking. Great value for the money.
Customer service
It is surrounded by a beautiful property. Walkable to University hospital. Kitchen area available and dining. Clean and comfortable bed.
quiet and clean
Whenever I go to London that’s where I stay. Great price and comfy beds.
.
We missed the sisters.
Checked in early morning only had few hrs in trailer.everything was good
Everything was great!
It’s like an institution but very unique. Inexpensive and so close to the university hospital. No parking fees. The bed is comfortable and the bedding is great.

This guesthouse was clean, comfortable and quiet. The kitchen hag everything you could need to cook and lots of free space in the fridge to keep my stuff. Bathrooms and showers were cleaned daily and water pressure was good. Because this place is situated on top a hill with some outdoor grounds surrounding it, it’s better suited for someone with a car. But if you’re like me and you don’t have a car then you’ll have to walk up and down the hill to get to bus stops.
