Vittoria Hotel and Suites

Vittoria Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent
"The Vittoria is located right in the heart of Niagara Falls. Being so close to the attractions was very convenient. Lots of amenities following the upgrade which are great for kids. Only downside which is out of their control is the noise pollution from fireworks or cars with loud exhausts. Would definitely return."

"The hotel might be a bit far from downtown, but it’s very accessible to the train station, just a 2-minute walk. There’s a shortcut to Wynford Station. So, if you and your family are up for exploring the city by public transit, the hotel is very convenient. There’s also a nearby store where you can grab food and other essentials. Overall, our stay was hassle-free and convenient."

"The location is great if you want to explore the downtown area. The room was clean and comfortable but quite small, and the washroom didn’t have a fan. It can be a struggle to take the elevator in any direction because the hotel is very busy, at least for the time we stayed in. The swimming pool is heated and the gym area is basic but better than not having one, I guess. The staff was friendly but for some reason struggled to explain how the parkade works, we had to figure it out ourselves."
