Toronto Garden Inn Bed & Breakfast  

Sweet B&B, well run, clean and pleasant, period details, cost-effective, in an area convenient to downtown.

Neighborhood is in the process of gentrifying. Not all streets are pleasant to walk.

We were free to prepare our own breakfast.

I had to share the washroom.

Lovely, comfortable, clean & friendly. Bryan was really nice, helpful & polite. The buffet breakfast was fantastic -the best so far!!!!!! A perfect place to stay at a very reasonable rate.

Nothing this place is perfect & good value for money A+

The location was convenient.

The proprietor was aloof, bordering on rudeness. The furnishings were inadequate; there wasn't even a chair to use. For a place that cost almost as much as a good hotel, it was decidedly less comfortable—and even less personal. I certainly would not stay again.

The service

The breakfast was cold. The maid did not clean the room one night, the elevator was broken and I got stuck inside, we had to take the stairs our entire stay. We were surrounded by excessively loud neighbors.

Lovely room good location with convenient transportation nice staff good breakfast feels like home

shared bathroom

The Garden Inn has character and charm. It's clean, welcoming, friendly, quiet, and is in an excellent location, perfect for exploring Toronto with great transport links to anywhere in the city. Bryan was an excellent host, very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Nice antique furnishings. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast included.

Shower TOO weak. Needs improvement if possible. Just a trickle. CREAM for morning coffee wld be a nice option ; ) And, wasn't sure if I was allowed to make eggs or anything fancier than the muffins, toast, granola, yogurt, etc on offer.

Bryan, the proprietor is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, pleasantly decorated and very welcoming. Clean towels laid out on the end of the bed with candy on top, nice touch. Livingroom with books and computer station, free wi-fi in the room and LARGE kitchen with all amenities. Breakfast was quite a variety of healthy self-serve foods and the place is very quiet and peaceful. VERY close to downtown, which is convenient, but still manages to be a quiet haven. Nice little oasis and will definitely stay there again when I have events or business in Toronto and don't want to pay the huge hotel rates. The Garden Inn is an excellent alternative.

Clean, quick response to questions, central location

Could have another bathroom, there were only 2 and I think there are 6 guest rooms

Good breakfast. Close to city center and other Toronto attractions (e.g. Cabbagetown or Distillery).

Very homey and cozy atmosphere, so much better than a chain hotel!

The only thing I would have liked is a desk in my room, whether a fold-up one or something. There wasn't really a comfortable place to put my laptop, although the high headboard and abundant pillows compensated and I managed. The livingroom and kitchen are available but I would have liked to set up in my room. It wouldn't stop me from staying there again.

Bryan is a great host, breakfast is OK and as in any other B&B you can have a nice chat while having breakfast

the floor is made of wood and you can easily hear other guests while walking. The location is fine, 15 minutes on foot to closest metro station, it's almost in east Dundas Street and can be a little bit scary at night

Accomodation was good value, enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the great variety for breakfast. Host was very friendly.

Not really a disllike - the room we had was perhaps not as glossy as the pictures online. Just more weathered in keeping with an older house. Door key was a bit sticky. Missed the chance or a tour of the rest of the house. Would have liked to see a bit more info about the immediate surroundings ( rougher area one side, no restaurants around that I found)

It was clean, and well situated.

The neighbourhood was a little bit scary.

Beautiful house, lovely and clean and in a quiet area - it was just like staying with a friend. Brian the host was extremely pleasant and helpful - for example, I can't eat wheat and he provided wheat free bread for me. The beautiful kitchen was available to make coffee etc 24/7 and the breakfast was amazing. There was even an iron and board available for me to iron out my clothes that had got squashed in my case. Would love to stay there again!

Wish it wasn't quite so far from the subway stop,but then it probably wouldn't be so cheap!

Close to Downtown and was able to get a street parking permit from B&B very easily. Bryan, the manager, extremely helpful and obliging. Place is immaculate. Great variation at breakfast and the table was set beautifully. Room very comfortable. Wi-fi friendly.

Location

Too noisy due to the fact that only 1 bathroom exists on the 1st floor and the floors are all wooden. Not the best value for money

I love that they were so accommodating. I liked that we could get up earlier than the stated 7am to start our breakfast. I liked the 'home' atmosphere that was there. I liked that it was safe to keep our stuff in the living room and it was not stolen.

It is in a very poor district in to. Not being from that area, I had no idea how 'run down' it is. It is a few steps away from Dundas St. There were nude bars down the street, many druggies stumbling down the street with the drunks. Some people were having sex in the park of Suter at 7pm. We had to park off Suter (about a 5 min walk from the b and b) and were worried about it; as the area is not really safe. But everything was fine. Nothing happened. We are not city girls (anymore) and things have changed. We were here for a race, so it was convenient, but I'd not be back again unless no choice.

The room was fabulous

The bed was very squeaky.

Great place; I would come back again!

quiet and close to downtown

The ORCHID room at first floor is very very bad. There are fleas everywhere (even in the bed). I was bitten everyday and I could not sleep at all. There is almost no room service. They do not change the towel and bedsheets in the room if you do not ask.

The house was fine. Breakfast was wonderful, there are many choices, and the staff was so friendly. Air conditioning was a great help for Toronto's summer.

The house is located in very ugly place, and walking around during the night was scary. You should take streetcars from and to the Dundas station, especially night time.

Location, good price, quiet, close to downtown, nice style for the house .

Cold shower and shortage of water but for only one of the three days of our stay.
