We love how terribly awesome this place is! From the details in the décor to the friendliness of the staff, we felt totally at home. The bathroom situation in the room is not recommended for a first-time-overnight-getaway for a new couple. Let’s just say that the high level of acoustics and lack of complete privacy does not leave much to the imagination. My husband and I had to develop a “marriage-saver” strategy to keep our romance alive. Not a catastrophic situation - you just need a game plan to get through it!
CanadaThe place is amazing. And the location is perfect. So many cool places to hang out and enjoy Toronto all close by.
United States of AmericaIt was a great place to stay, the staff was awesome, the hotel warm and welcoming. In a great location to see and explore Toronto.
United States of AmericaClose to where I needed to be and there are tons of coffee shops and restaurants around
CanadaThe room was quirky, hotel was artsy and all of the restaurants had amazing food!
United States of AmericaThe drake hotel is in an awesome location, surrounded by great bars, restaurants shops, and it's so easy to walk the whole neighborhood. The bar upstairs was nice and the staff were fantastic! Room felt very personal it's in own special way, would love to come back if I find myself in Toronto again
AustraliaI really enjoyed my stay at the Drake Hotel. The staff are super friendly and professional. Sat on the patio after I arrived back to the hotel after dinner with my daughter. Had 2 glasses of the best wine I ever had! The beds are super comfy and the rooms are super clean. In the morning I enjoyed the best cup of coffee (on the house) and an excellent sour dough butter croissant! I asked for a later check - out and they didn't hesitate to allow me that. I would highly recommend the Drake Hotel. It's now the only hotel I will stay in when I'm in Toronto.
CanadaIt is the best hotel in the best area in Toronto! The place has an amazing bar, relaxed & super-friendly staff and lots of things going on. If you want to stay in a place where lots is happening, this is the one. If you want to stay in a place from which you discover the most interesting & quirky shops & bars, this is the one. In short, you won't be disappointed staying here if you want to make the most of this unique area.
SpainEven though the hotel was hosting a big event while we were there - a big bash for its 15th birthday - we didn't hear the music or anything else from the party in our room. We ate in the restaurant several times and really liked the food and the staff who waited on us. Loved staying in the Drake Hotel!
CanadaStaff friendly, bed comfy, coffee ready and waiting, food excellent. Sound proofing great as there was no evidence of th Halloween party happening on three levels around us.
