Says shuttle service that is a lie. Called to confirm shuttle they said "every 30 min at airport" I waited no shuttle called front desk said "no we don't offer shuttle" did not even offer to call me a cab. Arrived room was for two should have been for one. They only had one chair and you had to shimmy on the wall the bed was so close to the wall. The tub did not drain in my 5 minute shower the tub filled and could not finish washing. Website and booking reservation said free breakfast. That was also a LIE. Went for breakfast was told it would coast $25. They offered a free coffee, when I put two cream in the coffee it did not change colour. Had to go to Starbucks. When asking the front desk to call a taxi one night another guest had booked because they had microwaves i the rooms but that is also a lie. When the other guest asked the front desk agent said "no we don't have microwaves go across the street to the Bodega". They need to fix the website, and automated responses with Expedia and all other booking sites. I will never stay here again. Read less

Ideal for a short stay in Toronto. Located on a busy street but staff calm and welcoming upon arrival. Restaurant on site and local attractions accessible via walking or public transport. Rooms were very small, too small to comfortably fit our three suitcases. Would recommend for short stays only.

Stayed for two nights last week Wednesday to Friday. Took out a room for 4 adults. Extremely congested room with minimal basic facilities. Coffee machine didn’t work at all as was faulty. Was ultimately replaced the following morning. Only two small water bottles were left in the room of 4 adults. At 11pm we called room service and asked for some more water but were asked to come down at reception to get it. As we were on the 16th floor and in our pyjamas we decided to sleep thirsty. Very dated en-suite. Poor ventilation. The room temperature could not be adjusted as the thermostat was not working correctly either. Really glad to leave the place on Friday morning. Read less

I stayed here for two nights while exploring Toronto. While it was pricey, it was less expensive than many of the other options in the Downtown area. The room was small (typical of a "city" hotel), but it was clean and quiet. Service was just okay, but the hotel's best quality is its location. It's a two-minute walk to the College subway station,… Read more

It's a two-minute walk to the College subway station, and there are various convenience stores and restaurants nearby. Read less

A great place to stay in Toronto. Our room was basic, but clean & comfortable with a good shower, large bed & a coffee maker. Complementary water was provided on the first 2 days. It’s ideally located in the city & near to eateries & shops. Our only gripe was the noisy air-con.
