Staff super friendly. Facility very dated, old lumpy bed but all was clean

Linda, Canada

Extremely friendly staff and comfortable room.(double/shared bathroom).

Gregory, United States of America

Great location, we were able to walk to pretty much everything we wanted to seein Toronto. Basic breakfast (coffee, tea, toast) is included Daily live music - you don't even have to leave the accomodation for a great night out

Elisa, Netherlands

Excellent service, friendly staff. Prime location walkable to most of downtown and most of the major attractions. Free breakfast (coffee and toast) every morning.

Wesley, Canada

Staff was great!!!!! Bar was good, very good jazz performances. Wi-Fi worked good enough to check some stuff. Good central location! On second floor no problems at all regarding music/other noise.

Hibe, Belgium

This was a basic hotel with no coffee or tea making facilities. However, tea and toast for breakfast was included in the price. Excellent as a base. No frills, but streetcars and subway were not far away.

John, United Kingdom

The location on Queen Street is fantastic and the price is right for a simple no-frills room. All worked fine, shared bathrooms were clean. Not the place for you if you normally stay at the Westin but perfectly decent otherwise. High funkability rating. Live jazz music 20 steps down? - c'mon!

Ben, Canada

Perfect location, literally everything you can think of doing in Toronto is within walking distance. Staff was very friendly. I'd say this place is great value for money.

Einar, Iceland

The location and the value for our money are key for us. This was not our first time staying here and it will definitely not be our last. Love the atmosphere and the "homey" feel to this place.

Sandra, Canada

Hotel is in good location, on a walking distance to many attractions. Also the surrounding area was beautiful and streets were very clean and nice to walk around. Area is nicely quiet on the weekends, because it's very near to business/financial district. So it's a nice chance to take beautiful photos and not be surrounded by a lot of people! My room was clean and bathroom was modern and nice. You can hear the music to the rooms (My room was in the second floor). For me, hearing a bit of music was a nice thing. The performers did stop playing in the evening around midnight. The staff was really helpful and gave good tips for me. 😊

눉Try to get a room on the third floor if you can; the second floor is above the Jazz Bar and you can usually hear the music until later in the evening.

눉The air conditioning unit in the room was quite loud. The weather was good, but the only window that could open was very small and could not provide enough fresh air to be an alternative to the AC unit.
눇The location was great, really easy to get to from the train station. It was also nice to have complimentary coffee and toast in the morning. We could also store our bags during the day until we left for our evening flight.

눉The hotel is quite noisy if you are in bed early, however this is a good trade for the location of the hotel and the price.
눇Hotel is right in the heart of everything. Although we did not have breakfast included in the room rate they serve free tea, coffee and toast in the bar area. The rooms not luxurious but for the price they are extremely good value, and very clean.
