Gorgeous hotel
The Walper is a gorgeous hotel. Right downtown, which can make it a little loud with traffic, but not bad. We went as a mini getaway over a weekend. So many restaurants within walking distance, although, we ate at the restaurant located below the hotel called the Social. It was amazing. Food was fantastic. The delux room is beautiful, and spacious. I would recommend this hotel and definitely stay there again.

Beds very comfortable- we had a great roomy room but others paying same had very small rooms w small bathrooms.. Great rain shower.. issue checking in as rooms were not available till well after 3 pm but Carabana was on so could have affected cleaning of rooms. Staff were very friendly and apologetic. Dining room in basement- poor signage to get there and totally understaffed although staff very nice.. .

8/10 Very good

The Walper Hotel is a nice hotel to stay at when visiting KW. We used it as a convenient jump point to go to Stratford. My main recommendation in favour of choosing Walper is the staff: they sent a welcome message telling us about the parking options, their check-in was very welcoming and helpful. The room was comfortable, well appointed. I would recommend that their TV offerings include some standard channels and options so that visitors don't have to log into their own apps. It took us 15 minutes to log in through the hotel's options because we didn't have certain app loaded on our devices. Overall, a pleasant stay and I would still recommend people to stay here.
