The room was really clean and the staff were so friendly, accommodating and helpful. The AC would shut off a couple of times but it was understandable to save energy when we weren’t in the room. We had to get to our convention early on Saturday and Sunday and we were able to get our breakfast delivered right at 8am to us which we really appreciated. I will definitely be coming back to The Walper Hotel when I come back to Kitchener. Amazing and lovely staff! Thank you all!! <3

Loved the stay, that being said these are some small complaints: the temperature control on the shower was kind of confusing/sticky and so I basically cooked myself. Additionally the sink was clogged after the first time we washed our faces and hands which was a bit odd.
Otherwise no complaints, had a lovely stay!

The staff and hotel was amazing. My only concern was the hotel restaurant. The service staff were great. The food was not so great. Dinner was very salty. We returned and they prepared a new dish which was helpful. However, chef then served it with a lot of Garlic and the initial request was to be light on the garlic. Wondering if it was done on purpose. Other than that the hotel is great.

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful during my stay. Forgot to bring my HDMI cable and asked front desk if they have spare, originally she said they don’t have it but after awhile, she found it and delivered it to my room. The room is very clean. The hotel location is pretty good, it’s walkable distance to the Main Street in Kitchener, especially I brought my puppy with me this time, the park is also a walkable distance.

A big shout out to all the staff working at the front desk. They could not have been more professional. I noted on a pad a few tweaks to the room we stayed in I thought the management should consider. Normally, this would be a fool’s errand and met with a polite thank you.
But not here. The person at the desk not only took time to read my list but gave very thoughtful responses, including the assurance that he would personally make sure the management saw it. I have no reason to believe he was not sincere.
The entire hotel has been refurbished from top to bottom (when I lived in Kitchener in the late 60s there was a dive bar in the basement!). Now it is a well appointed restaurant and bar which served a deliscious and not overpriced breakfast.
A memorable stay. We shall return.

The staff was very friendly and having a comedy club onsite. It’s a historic hotel (formerly the Berlin opera house - not that Berlin). Makes up for the fact the downtown is the most depressing downtown I have ever been in. But if you have to be here, it’s worth coming to this hotel to make the stay bearable

Booked a standard city view room with a King Bed, the room was quite small (not a lot of room between the bed and the table/desk) but practical. A nice assortment of teas provided plus coffee pods and a fridge. I appreciated the bottled water to use for coffee since Waterloo water is soft and doesn't taste great. Comfortable bed and large pillows, plus bath robes and shampoo, etc. provided. A convenient location and friendly service - with the option to text front desk with any requests. Would stay again.

Guesta should be aware that on site parking is limited. Parking is available inba city lot a short walk away
Staff are VERY helpful but breakfast service was slow. Staffing issues no doubt; a sign of the times.
Bed and pillows very comfy.

Great location and there's a parking building right across the street so super convenient, the room was cleaned and comfortable and the whole hotel has great decor and small details that make it stand out, would stay again!

I love the location; it's pretty central. There were area rugs in the room that were filthy to look at. They need to be removed completely or updated. I did request a room with a street view. That was a mistake. It was very loud. On a previous stay, I had a courtyard view which was much quieter.

I was very disappointed in the parking, there is no parking at the hotel, and I had to pay $31 to park overnight at a public parking lot.

I highly recommend staying here. Breakfast is delicious and high quality. They are accommodating to babies and small children. We stayed with our 7 month daughter and it was a great time. Also loved trying peloton in the gym.

I stayed here for my bffs wedding. The staff did an excellent job hosting her event!

Clean room! Friendly staff! Great security, my boyfriend arrived very late/early morning and even though the desk knew about his arrival, they still called from the desk phone to my room to check and make sure I really was expecting him, I love to see that the hotel takes the safety of women seriously, makes you feel safe!

The only ever so slight inconvenience (and seriously not a big deal) is not having a pick/up drop off area or parking lot on site but the parking garage is less than 1 minute walk across the street (just sucked having to drag your luggage through the snow and slush) - but I assume this would be an issue with the parking lots snow plow contractors.

But no issues with the Walper at all, great experience !
