The Walper Hotel

What a wonderful experience!!Stayed there on a wonderful Monday evening.Enjoyed a fantastic cocktail on the second floor in their cocktail bar before heading down to their restaurant for dinner.The cocktail was amazing and the dinner was over the top wonderful. When you go out on a Monday you never know what is open. It was great to see it is not just for hotel guests either. If I lived in the area this place would definitely be one of my locals.The staff was so attentive and helpful.Breakfast was amazing as well.So happy that we found this gem. And will be sharing with all of our friends

The rooms and the hotel are unique, clean, and just so cozy. The staff always go out of their way to make sure your experience is 5 star. Everyone is so friendly and personable. The rooms will be on the smaller side but decorated beautifully and are so clean.Also the eggs Benedict is by far the best I've had outside of home made. All of the food at TWH is incredible.

Rooms were nice and clean and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We spent 12 nights with them over three weeks, and all our requests were met. When they saw we had a pet, they dropped off dog bowls and a bed to the room - a cute touch. The only issue with this hotel is that, as it is in the heart of downtown, the parking situation is very challenging. Will stay here again!

Great hotel. Very comfortable rooms. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Food was incredible absolutely delicious. Restaurant staff were all very friendly and helpful! Great cocktails as well. Will definitely come back!

Super great stay. Only downside is my wife is a light sleeper and we were in a room above the street and cars going by kept waking her. However the bed is comfortable and the ballroom is a lovely venue for an event.

Room and decor inside the hotel were great. Staff at the hotel and restaurant were fantastic. Great place to wander inside, but less than ideal location. Might be interesting in the warmer weather with unique outdoor spaces.

The checkin experience was good, the room we had was quite noisy from the loud street (there was a car show in town) and the front desk staff was courteous to switch the room. Next day we were out the whole day returning at night and the room wasn’t made- we informed the front desk staff and they said, it’s only upon request - well we weren’t advised up upon checkin. I didn’t get an apology or acknowledgment which was disappointing. The beds were comfortable though. If you’re spending this kind of money in Kitchener, it might be better to spend the money elsewhere.

*update in 2023*Stayed here for the 2nd time when visiting Kitchener again after 8 months. It was my husband's birthday, I emailed the hotel to order a cake for my husband. Their F&B director Ranjit is super nice and being patient when we communicate, the team did a great job to arrange all the details for the surprise, it was so heart-warming. The cakes are wonderful, especially the chocolate cake that is so rich and moist. Will definitely stay here again and again. This time we get a bigger room, with no city view, but it was not a problem for us. The bed was comfortable, had a quality sleep during the stay.Comment from 2022:Great location, several nearby parking therefore giving 5 stars for the expediency. Staffs are nice and friendly, having quick response for refilling complimentary stuff like bottled water. The room is a bit smaller then expected but still good enough for 2 persons and only one night stay. The gym is not big either, but having essential facilities you need for a quick workout. Will stay here again for my next visit.

The hotel room is nice but the noise from this giant AC duct right outside of our room is really a disappointment. During the day, you wouldn’t notice the sound as much but during the night it was so loud that I couldn’t fall asleep. I had to use my AirPod for noise cancellation so I could finally fall asleep. If you are to stay at the Walper, make sure you ask for a room that is not adjacent to this giant pipe.

The hotel is located in the heart of the town. The interior of the hotel is beautiful for photoshoots. They have vallet parking (but no one at the door to get the car). And a payed lot a block away. The entrance is located right after the signal, so stopping your car in flowing traffic creates a jam.My sister's room wasn't ready, so they gave her a temporary room. In an hour or so, the room was ready for her. But as she was getting ready, it was taking her some time to dress up & move stuff out. The hotel started bothering her to switch rooms, and then they auto locked the room! Fortunately, we were out of the room, or else we might have gotten locked.
