Niagara-on-the-lake VEY VERY nice. Historic downtown, vineyards, wineries, cherry orchard. We like it a lot.
too bad it rained quite a bit.
Niagara Falls is spectacular. We really enjoyed the boat tour....BUT the town centre is so artificial and so "American".
Too busy, too noisy, too much consumption and waste.
Lyons hostel's owner, Patrick, is very friendly. He's from Vancouver as well. Quit business executive job and travelled and ended up living here running this hostel for 7 years now. This hostel is clean and in good location. Walking distance to the falls but away from those noisy entertainment district. It's like living in an apartment more than a hostel. He even give us towels and serves breakfast. Highly recommended for budget travelers.
