Staying at The St. Regis Toronto for two nights was an overall excellent experience. While check-in had a minor hiccup—my ICBC credit card, booked through Trip.com, initially couldn’t be authorized (which never happened at other hotels abroad)—I ended up using my Australian card instead. Surprisingly, after processing the payment, the system suddenly accepted the ICBC card. Staff were patient and professional throughout, making the situation feel seamless. The highlight? A $80 daily breakfast credit redeemable at Louis Louix restaurant or private dining in-room. The in-room dining was elegant and perfectly executed—great ambiance, delicious food, and attentive service. Located just steps from downtown transit hubs, it’s incredibly convenient. Despite the initial card issue, the luxury, comfort, and attention to detail made this stay truly memorable. Definitely planning to return.
Staying at Hyatt Regency Toronto was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk or quick transit ride into downtown, making it super easy to explore restaurants, shops, and attractions. I was especially impressed by the beautiful fall views from my room, which added a peaceful, scenic touch to my stay. The staff were friendly and efficient, the rooms were clean and well-appointed, and everything felt thoughtfully designed. It’s not just a hotel—it’s a comfortable home away from home. I’d absolutely return here on my next trip to Toronto.
Staying at Grand Royal Condos near the CN Tower was an absolute highlight of my Toronto trip. The location is unbeatable—everything I wanted to see or do was just a short walk away, and the views from the apartment were stunning. The neighborhood is packed with great restaurants and lively bars, making it easy to enjoy a memorable evening out. The unit itself was spotless and well-equipped: full-size fridge with a large freezer, microwave, coffee maker—all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Union Station is only a few minutes’ walk away, and from there, you can reach the airport in just 25 minutes via train. That’s incredibly convenient for early flights or late departures. One small downside: due to a water issue, only one elevator was operational during my visit, so there was a bit of waiting time. But it didn’t ruin the experience. There’s also a parking spot available in the garage for $39 CAD per day, which is fair for the central location. Overall, I felt very comfortable and safe here. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Toronto—great value, excellent location, and a truly enjoyable stay.

I was able to reach Eaton Centre and Chinatown within minutes, and right next to the hotel is a large supermarket with tons of food options—perfect for grabbing snacks or last-minute essentials. The room was immaculate every time I returned; housekeeping was prompt and thorough, even cleaning while I was downstairs having breakfast. Free breakfast was a real treat—especially since buying it separately would cost $25 per person. It included all the basics, and the fruit selection was generous and fresh, which is rare in Toronto where produce prices are sky-high. Two of the staff members spoke Cantonese, which made communication much easier and added a personal touch. Safety-wise, there were some people experiencing homelessness nearby, so I’d recommend avoiding late-night walks and taking a taxi instead. Overall, this place offers incredible value for money. With its unbeatable location, clean rooms, friendly service, and quality breakfast, I’ll definitely be coming back if I ever visit Toronto again.

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.

The fitness center is modest in size but fully equipped and well-maintained, perfect for a quick workout. Staff at the front desk were friendly and efficient, and the valet service was seamless. With the location, amenities, and pricing, this place offers incredible value. I’ll definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Toronto.
