Parkside House - Apartment Stay in Barrie

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Parkside House is praised for its quiet, apartment-style suites with ample space and kitchens, convenient walkability to downtown and the waterfront, and easy access with keypad entry plus onsite parking.

Cleanliness is frequently rated very good, though a few guests noted dust, missed trash, or lingering food smells. Several reviews mention warm rooms, limited or no air conditioning, and occasional maintenance quirks like nonworking lights, low ceilings, steep stairs, or squeaky floors. Service is commonly described as friendly and responsive, though a few guests experienced slow or unprofessional communication, including during a storm-related outage. Good for travelers seeking apartment-style independence rather than full hotel services.

I like the size of the suite; it’s big. Also, the hosts were quick to reply and provide what I requested. However, the AC needs an upgrade and maybe add more toiletries. Overall, a nice place to stay.

I tried getting ahold of hotels.com when we checked in. Very very disappointed it was a very hot week, we checked in to find that there is no air conditioning in the apartment and only one fan to accommodate. Even another fan would not have done any justice. We were sticky and not comfortable the entire time. Also stunk of old food. Unfortunately wouldn't go back. Maybe in the winter! Nothing against the owners. Just not the place for us.

Very clean and well-appointed property. Instructions were clear and parking provided. Walking distance to restaurants meant we could park up after a long drive and walk to dinner. Nice dining area in kitchen would have provided a comfortable space for enjoying a takeout, too. Friendly hosts. Highly recommend.

We loved how spacious it was and we enjoyed the quiet. The backyard was lovely. The owner lived on site. However, sometimes he was delayed in getting back us. It could have been cleaner. The carpet and couch needed to be vacuumed better(under the cushions). The bedside tables and dresser had quite a bit of dust. The smart TV had the YouTube app, but we then couldn’t get it back to cable because the exit command on YouTube didn’t work. Plus, with every commercial the volume jumped up to full blast and even after we lowered it, went back to full volume when the program resumed.

The property as a whole for the most part was clean and it was nice and quiet and there was a lovely restaurant within walking distance it was called Baccio Trattoria deffs recommmend! The bed was very soft and comfortable and we had a great sleep. The only thing there were a couple flies in the bathroom and there was a bug in the bathroom when we first arrived, I think that was because there’s a lot of grass and bushes around the area, not because it wasn’t clean. The other thing I would recommend is just making sure all the garbages are emptied because one of the garbages was not emptied when we first arrived. Overall it was a nice place to stay for our short trip it was conveniently located.

The property was actually lovely. But we were caught in an ice storm that killed the power so we spent the night in the cold and dark and our food went bad. In the early morning we wanted to leave but an iced-up tree had fallen on my husband's car and another over the driveway. Insurance stated that the proprietor was responsible for clearing the trees. We tried for over three hours to send messages, phone calls and knocked on the owners' door with no luck at all. Meanwhile there was a family emergency up north we had to get to urgently. The manager finally emerged hours later, and yelled at me, saying he didn't think this was an emergency. He was rude, and totally absolved himself from his innkeeper's responsibilities. I was appalled and shocked at the unprofessionalism.

Firstly, this is not a hotel it’s an apartment building as registered with the City of Barrie. There is no sign out front or instructions on where to park. I received an email to offer a 5% discount if I booked directly with them. I sent feedback on my experience. At 0413 I received an incoherent message. I commented that this was very unprofessional and received the text below.
