Executive Hotel Cosmopolitan
This hotel has a sophisticated yet timeless vibe that captures the essence of old Toronto. I suspect it was especially affordable during my stay due to nearby condo construction, but the value was undeniable. What really stood out was the complimentary robe—something I always look for in a great stay. The room was clean, well-appointed, and had a quiet charm that made it feel like a true retreat. It’s rare to find such character and comfort at this price point. Highly recommend for travelers who appreciate authentic local flair without the premium price tag.

It’s perfect for families or groups traveling together. Inside the unit, you’ll find a microwave, fridge, sink, a small table, and two chairs—ideal for preparing meals or working remotely. One of the highlights? The laundry facilities on the second floor: plenty of washers and dryers available. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful—they provided free detergent and even let us borrow laundry cards that we could top up ourselves. I accidentally left a set of clothes behind, but the platform made it easy to call the hotel directly and resolve the issue quickly. Great value, excellent service, and a central location. Definitely coming back.

Sonder the Slate
An ideal overnight stop in Toronto. We found the hotel easily enough after initially walking the wrong way from the station—classic tourist move. The room was spotless, cozy, and had that modern vibe I love. Plus, the building’s location is fantastic—right in the heart of dining options, so we never had to go far for a good meal. One minor quirk (if you can even call it that): the frosted glass bathroom door looks sleek and contemporary, but at 5 a.m. during jet lag, flipping on the light felt like summoning the sun itself—my husband woke up instantly, startled by what he thought was dawn breaking through the room. Hilarious, really! We ended up using our phone flashlights instead, which worked perfectly. Overall, this stay was excellent—great comfort, smart design, and a convenient location. Would absolutely recommend and come back again.
