Courtyard Toronto Downtown
Staying at the Courtyard Toronto Downtown was an absolute delight. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the city with a subway station just steps away. There are countless restaurants and cafes around, offering everything from local favorites to international cuisine. It’s only a 10-15 minute walk to Eaton Centre, IKEA, and the University of Toronto—perfect for exploring or commuting. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the breakfast spread was generous and delicious. The only minor downside was occasional sirens from emergency vehicles late at night, but it didn’t ruin the experience. Overall, this hotel delivers excellent value, convenience, and comfort—highly recommend for anyone visiting downtown Toronto.
Radisson Blu Toronto Downtown
The hotel is perfectly located, and our room had a stunning lake view—absolutely breathtaking. The interior design is modern and elegant, with excellent attention to detail throughout the property. Staff were friendly and helpful, making the stay very comfortable. I’d highly recommend booking the lakeside restaurant in advance—otherwise, it can be tough to get a table when you arrive. Everything about this place is top-notch, from the location to the service. A truly memorable experience—I’ll definitely be back.
Residence Inn by Marriott Toronto Downtown / Entertainment District
We absolutely loved our stay here! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the entertainment district, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and nightlife right outside the door. The room was spacious, clean, and well-designed, with a full kitchenette that made cooking meals super convenient, especially for longer stays. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the soundproofing meant we slept peacefully without any noise from neighboring rooms. The staff were friendly and efficient throughout our visit. It’s rare to find such a great balance of comfort, convenience, and value. We’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in Toronto.
Holiday Inn Express Toronto Downtown
Staying at the Holiday Inn Express Toronto Downtown was a highlight of my trip to Canada. The location is incredibly convenient—most attractions are within walking distance, making it easy to explore the city without relying on transportation. What truly stood out was the housekeeping service; it was the best I’ve experienced during my entire Canadian journey. Not only were the rooms spotless, but staff proactively cleaned every day, which made the stay feel extra comfortable and personalized. It’s rare to find such attention to detail, especially in a budget-friendly hotel. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Toronto—it offers excellent value and comfort.
Holiday Inn Toronto Downtown Centre
Staying at Holiday Inn Toronto Downtown Centre was an absolute highlight of my trip. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from Union Station and the subway, making it super easy to get around the city. 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.

The surrounding area is quiet and very safe, making it a peaceful retreat right in the heart of the city. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—special mention to Carol, who went above and beyond with her warm and efficient service.

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.

Staying at Hyatt Regency Toronto was a fantastic experience from start to finish.

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.
The Yorkville Royal Sonesta Hotel Toronto
Absolutely recommend this hotel! Located right in the heart of Yorkville, it's incredibly convenient for exploring downtown Toronto—just a short walk to shops, restaurants, and attractions. The room was stylish and well-thought-out, with attention to small details that make a big difference, like the quality of linens and thoughtful touches throughout. The pool is compact but clean and inviting, especially in the evening when the lights come on—it creates such a relaxing vibe. 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.
