Very clean rooms, excellent location with a good view of Kempenfelt Bay. Walking one block will get you to the main downtown strips with shops, restaurants, and nightlife. Our room was upgraded to the penthouse suite which was a nice surprise. The couple we travelled with had nothing but great things to say about their room as well. Beautiful Victorian... More

The staff was very welcoming in this beautifully restored Victorian house, the room was charming, with antique furniture, lots of windows and a walk-in shower. It could be wonderful with some easy improvements: the pillows are old and worn, the bed would greatly benefit from a memory foam, and the bedspread/comforter is too heavy. A new duvet and the room... More

I just didn't get this place. It was old and wonderful from the outside, but could do with modernising in the inside. We stayed for one night for a wedding party, and even the basics like sound insulation were lacking. This was our worst night sleep on our 2 week holiday. The noise from the other rooms was really bad... More

I was in Barrie for a conference and stayed at Harbour View for two nights. Comparing the value with the other hotels in the area, Harbour View was, by far, the right choice for me. Pros: the rooms are a bit dated, but very clean and quiet! The bed was amazing to sleep in and I usually never sleep well... More

I recently traveled from Montreal, Quebec to attend an event in Barrie. The Harbourview Inn was located in the heart of Barrie and was close to everything I needed. The staff were friendly and welcoming and they even made special arrangements to accommodate my late check in time. The rooms were clean and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. I... More

My family and I were looking for special place to stay in Barrie -somewhere that would be convenient to the harbour, with a unique surrounding and preferably not a run-of-the-mill franchise hotel experience. Not easy when you have two girls in their pre-teens! Harbourview Inn was THE PLACE! We hadn't heart of it before, but I'm sure it's not going... More

We stayed in the CH Ross Suite at a price of $179 plus tax but we felt this hotel did not offer value for money. Whilst the hotel is very well located for downtown Barrie and the staff could not have been more helpful the room itself let the whole experience down. We appreciate that the hotel is billed as...

We stayed one night at the Harbour View Inn in Barrie earlier this month. The front desk young woman was friendly and helpful (even helped us carry luggage up to our second floor room; only an elevator would have made things better, but that wouldn't really fit the character of the house). The room itself was very pretty with the... More

We stayed for two nights in the penthouse suite. This is a lovely Victorian style house renovated into an inn. It is decorated with Victorian furniture with all the modern convieniences. The staff are amazing. They are very friendly and helpful. This Inn provides a homey atmosphere. It is very quiet. No kids running around making lots of noise. Highly... More

A great place to stay - excellent location, walking distance to everything, water, trails, restaurants and super clean, our room was absolutely spotless. We did not want to stay at the typical big chain hotel and are glad we found this unique spot. Staff was extremely helpful too. We would definitely stay again.
