Top Cape Breton Island Hotel Reviews

Harbourview Inn, SureStay Collection by Best Western

8/10 Good

"First time stay at this property. The room was clean and staff friendly and helpful. The building itself is dated and there had been many repairs needed during its existence and the repairs were noticeable."

Comfort Inn Sydney - Cape Breton

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was cold, and breads not redulled"

Hampton Inn by Hilton Sydney

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and large, the breakfast was all I was looking for"

Park Inn - by Choice Hotels, Sydney

8/10 Good

"Central location for our local island exploration! Room initially very dark with no central light and rather dim lamps. After expressing concern the front desk arranged for two larger lamps to be brought to our room… this made it much better. One suggestion for management… it would be helpful to make available some type of local map, such as those commonly containing advertisements for local businesses."

Baddeck Domes

8/10 Good

"Everything is good aside from the washrooms , though it’s clean , it’s just far from the domes, good thing our domes are nearby."

Maritime Inn, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is essentially a tired, old motel that they’ve tried to clean up and now they charge much more. The bed was very comfortable but the bathroom was still old-looking, and the furniture looked tired. It was not worth the cost- maybe at half the cost I’d stay again."

Glenghorm Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Good place with great amenities. The beach access was great."

Ceilidh Country Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great location. Easy and quick to get to downtown Baddeck. Rooms were clean and nice. Beds were comfortable. TV was a Smart TV so we could stream. Complimentary breakfast was very nice. Staff was very helpful. Wifi was not working 100%. Kept going in and out."

Auberge Gisele's Inn
