Sleeping Giant Guesthouse - Thunder Bay, Ontario

Nous avons dormi une nuit dans cette auberge et c'était largement suffisant. ||Nous sommes arrivés vers 20H30 devant une maison... jusque la rien d'exceptionnel ayant une petite expérience des auberge cela ne m'étonnais pas. Nous arrivons dans le hall, face à nous 2 porte l'une avec un code et l'autre fermé à clé avec un mot dessus "contacter le numéro suivant ou envoyer un sms" ok... on frappe à la porte avant d'affoler tout le monde, personne ne répond, on sonne toujours personne. On décide donc de téléphoner, à ce moment une femme arrive. La cinquantaine de très ouverte d'esprit. Elle nous explique ou se trouve la clé et nous fait entrer. On se trouve dans la salle commune avec télé DVD, livres (mais personne dans la salle, en même temps il y faisait froid)... nous allons a son "bureau" situé dans le couloir (car il n'y a pas de réception), on s'inscrit?!?! On paye. Elle nous montre la cuisine nous dit que le thé et le café sont en libre service les pancakes le matin également, elle nous donne le code wifi le numéro de notre chambre et s'en va. ||Nous montons à l'étage la chambre n'est pas très grande peu importe. La literie par contre est très vieille et en mauvaise état nous avons très mal dormi. Nous passons à la salle de bain, la porte ne se ferme pas et ce n'est pas très propre (urine au sol). Le lendemain matin nous allons prendre notre petit déjeuné et nous croisons la femme de la veille qui s'en va travailler. Nous faisons couler le café et cherchons sans succès les pancakes, nous ouvrons les frigos (sales). ||Le linge de lit et la serviette sont inclus dans le prix, seulement au moment de se doucher nous nous apercevons que la femme ne nous a pas donné nos serviette. Nous ouvrons un placard proche de la sdb, nous en trouvons... bref nous sommes partis rapidement, l'expérience fut mauvaise nous avions l'impression d'être chez une dame qui sous loue des chambres et des lits, ce n'était pas du tout chaleureux, pas organisé et nous étions un peu laissé pour compte. En conclusion si vous n'avez pas le choix ok, mais c'est vraiment cher pour la prestation!

We stayed here for a couple of nights while visiting Thunder Bay. Gail was extremely accommodating when we arrived in the night to check in. We spent quite a bit of time relaxing at the hostel as we had just returned from many nights backcountry camping and couldn't have asked for better company! We shared many laughs with Gail and other house guests. Our experience here was so, so pleasant and would highly recommend the sleeping giant guest house to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable stay! Thank you, Gail!

I stayed there for 3 days over New Year´s Eve and couldn't have asked for better accommodation. |I had a very cozy room, everything was very clean and the bed was so comfortable that I didn't want to leave it, especially after my long journey. |When I arrived I was greeted warmly and on New Year's Eve I was even invited to the buffet and served with plenty of delicious food. |We sat together, talked, laughed and I felt like at home.|I can only recommend everyone to spend their stay there.|Thank you for the three great days with you!

This is amazing place to be. I am glad that this was my first place to stay upon my first arrival in Canada. Gail is very sweet and welcoming. Everyone in the house were very friendly and humble. I came to Thunder Bay alone and now have a wonderful family in Sleeping Giant Guest House!

My friend and I were driving through Thunder Bay and were able to get a last minute room. We got there rather late but Gail had waited up for us and went over everything needed for our stay.

The price for the night was very fair given that we had a private room and all the services provided - including wifi. The house has much more space than you would expect looking at it from the outside.

Security measures are present all over the house, so not to worry too much there.

In the morning coffee/tea is provided along with pancakes. Gail was such a lovely lady, we would definitely stay here again.

10/10 - would recommend.

I only spent a week here but it really made an impression on me. Gail who runs the place is very a very warm and helpful soul who throws in some serious humor at no extra charge. The environment is pretty relaxed and the house has a very homey feel. I really enjoyed the company of the other people staying there. I slept like a corpse every night too which is saying something. I'll be back there some time I'm sure of it. <3

Good people! Good vibes! Good place!

The owner, Gail, is wonderful and very welcoming. She's always there to help you. She's making you fresh coffee in the morning. It really feels like being home. Her guesthouse is very clean and well maintained. There's a BBQ outside on the patio, a fire pit in the backyard, a decent size commune living room with tons of books and the WIFI is pretty legit.
Bottom line, I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Thunder bay or driving through!
