Very good

Location to union station was super handy. Also the staff on the front desk were very friendly and very helpful.

Staff was really friendly

Room was smaller than expected

Very affordable, excellent location, rooms were purely functional which was all I needed. The bed was comfortable.

Breakfast seems a bit expensive. I could have used a chair in my hotel room.

Excellent location, walkable to everything downtown

Expensive, considering the size of the room

The location is amazing, staff is excellent, lady at check in Zalekha was professional, very helpful and dealt in an excellent manner

Price in comparison to the room size and the amenities in hotel is high

Location was great. Staff super friendly. Great deal. Clean and Comfortable.

Noise carried from other rooms/pipes.

Great location...friendly check in...lots of amenities

Bed was a little hard for my liking but would probably be good for others..

To be fair to the hotel I was only looking for a resonable room withing walking distance of Union Station for one night. I didn't sample any of their other facilities or services. For my purposes it was perfect and the booking, checking in and checking out processes went smoothly.

Nothing much to dislike here but if pressed I'd say something about the interior design being firmly from the corporate blandness school, but I'd much rather they get other things right first, like cleanliness and comfort, which they do.

Location

No place to unload at front door. I had phoned ahead and was informed there was valet parking but I wasn’t told it started at 2:00. We had to park in City Parking walk up 2 flights of stairs with luggage then walk to the hotel.

It was so close to scotiabank and we were pleasantly surprised! It was clean and staff were friendly. I would definitely stay here again when in toronto next.

Close to Union Station.

Great price and location. Good food at the pub. Small but comfortable rooms.

Small rooms. Wallpaper by shower was mouldy and peeling.

Close to everything and Scotia Bank Arena

It was fine no issues

great location,

Loved the location. Lobby very comfortable.

Found the room very small and bathroom tiny. Would have been nice to have chair in the room.

Location, cleanliness

Sound isolation

Very good location for our planned activities. Excellent hot breakfast. Welcoming, pleasant staff. Very comfortable bed. Could easily walk to everything we planned to do.

Room very small, but OK for one night. Our room was on York St., across from a major construction site where activities began at 6:30 am! Try to avoid that unless you are an early riser.

No breakfast available.New Years holiday

Excellent staff at the front desk who were very accommodating and helpful. Friendly housekeeper who let me into my room when the key stopped working, and the location right by Union Station is fantastic.

The bathroom was a bit small, but did the job. I turned off the air con system and my room got very cold in the night, so I had to switch it back on, which was a bit noisy.

The Location.

Upon arrival, I was back of a line of complaints about room noise and people wanting to move rooms, on check-in and entering the room, we where disappointed to find out our wind faced a concrete wall, this should of been mentioned on the description on booking. Talking about the description it mentioned iPod connectivity, this will only work with very old 30 pin iPod connector. The room also had year old location magazine in the room and an out dated hotel information folder stating breakfasts where $13.95 but on check-in it was advised it was $19.95. The room was small and very dark, lights had to be used during day light. Also notice a very random curtain hanging in the corner for no reason. Health and Safety side of things shower was over a bath, you had to request a none slip bath map, these should be in the room permanently.

Location Staff

The bed was horrible. Floor boards had gaps.

The location to ACC.

The room was small.

Location and cleanliness

The rooms are about the size of my closet. The cleaners still come into your room when you hang the privacy door hanger.

Location and convienance

One of cannot use elevators the stair way system was very confusing and not explained well by staff

this hotel is right downtown 3 minutes away from union station.

My room was very small. barely room to open my suitecase on the bench. There is nowhere to sit really and have coffee or eat except on the bed which is not comfortable. It gets very noisy at night since it is by the scotia arena. The windowsare not well insulated so not only do we hear the street noise, it gets cold so the heater starts every 20 minutes.

Beds were comfortable, staff were friendly, amazing location.

There wasn't any fans in the bathroom or counter space (girls need counter space). Room was dark and felt a bit gloomy.

The location was excellent.

The heating was difficult to regulate. It was too hot but if you turned it down it blew cold air.

Location was great. Front desk staff were fabulous.

Bed was squeaky.

We came to the Strathcona hotel for a short stay as we had an overnight layover in Toronto. The hotel is kitty corner from Union Station where we caught the train from the airport, and it could not have been easier to get there. We were greeted with very helpful and friendly staff at the front desk. The room was small but perfect for the two of us. The bed was really comfortable. Loved the smell of the provided Bigelow shampoo/lotion!

The bathroom had a bit of dust but it wasn't that bad.

Comfy bed and you can't beat the location as it is right across the street from Union Station. Also the front desk staff are very nice.

- Long lines to check in/out. - TV system does not let you easily flip between local channels. - Very thin bed cover (might as well had been just a sheet). Had to turn thermostat way up to stay warm (it being winter and all).

Comfy bed

Nothing

Clean hotel, friendly and attentive staff. Great location!

Service at front counter was exceptional (Walid) was super accomodating. All staff were extremely friendly - everyone said hello as you walked by. Great place if you just need a place to rest your head and central in Toronto. The price was on par with what you get for Toronto (paid $130 for a room with 2 single beds).

The room was very dusty - looked like no one had been in it for awhile. Also - heads up that the walls are thin, so earplugs are a must (like a lot of hotels).

Couldn’t wish for a better location. Nice reception area, staff were lovely. I was allowed a later checkout, which was appreciated.

The door to the room was very flimsy, with gaps all around it. I was woken up several times by people using the lift, or talking in the corridor and I could smell the perfume of someone walking past. The room was very small, and while there was a window, this looked out onto a wall and it didn’t open. There was never any natural light in the room. It also didn’t feel particularly clean - hairs here and there, and there was a big clump of hair (likely removed from the shower) in the toilet when I arrived.

elevator was quick,people were friendly,food offered was fresh and tasty,very clean

The bedroom is cosy and the localization is great. The checkout was accomplished for a girl that was very nice. She perceived my difficulty with the Language and did everything more easy.

The value is a lot expensive. During the check-in, I perceived that the recepcionist was upset cos' I am not fluent in English and he was not nice but after he helped us.

Awesome location, stylish common areas, very safe at all times of day/night. Staff were pretty accommodating, the room was very clean and the bed was not amazing but comfy and sturdy.

The rooms are pretty dark and the forced coverings were annoying. While I was facing a back alley and other rooms of the hotel, it would have been nice to be able to adjust the window covers as much as I want. Would have added natural light and air to the room.

Great location, clean and comfortable, great breakfast. Just a bit noisy poor insulation you can hear plumbing ie people taking their showers but overall a good place

Location and price.

Close to concert venue and train station

Construction on the floor was noisy in the evening

The staff was friendly, helpful, and responsive. The room was very clean. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy.

Hotel is located in a high traffic area. The bathroom was small, and the ironing board was stored behind the bathroom door making the door opening smaller. I kept running into the doorknob. Breakfast in the lobby was not free with the room reservation.

Great location: Great Breakfast NIC but worth price. Very nice staff.

No

Friendly staff

Its no frills, clean. Decor is basic wood but it felt clean. The beds are hard as a rock. I had back pain the whole next day.

Well located, affordable, comfortable and very clean.

The staff did not know where the closest pedestrian entrance to next door's public parking was. Sound insulation with the adjacent room's bathroom was not insufficient. No physical space / accommodations to work on one's laptop.

Location

all was good

Close to a lot of cool things. Staff was great and friendly.

No parking. Ended up paying 70$ for two days in a near by lot

Cleanliness comfortable well arranged good towels and an excellent location

Room too small for a chair

the hotel was clean and staff were friendly. amazing location

the room was cold a little bit and I woke up 2 times to adjust the temperature by thermostat but every time it failed to reach the desired temperature.

Clean, central, classy enough for a tiny hotel

Thin walls

The hotel location was fabulous, an easy walk to union station. The staff were helpful, the lobby neat and modern. Though we didnt use the restaurant, it was open for breakfast and lunch. The bed was comfortable and the evening quiet.

The room was definitely small but functional.

Very centrally located and a few steps from union station. Very clean

Pillows remain too hard

Location was perfect for our needs. Quiet. Clean. Comfortable.

Parking info wasn't specific enough. Didn't mention that they have valet parking available, which would have been cheaper than the what I paid at one of the lots they mentioned.

Clean room and a convenient location. The room was the perfect size for one or two people. Reminded me of places I have stayed in Europe...cozy. The small room had everything I needed. It was clean, warm, and comfortable.

Lack of parking and expensive valet service. I was told the valet was $44, and the adjacent parking garage was about $40 and full. No street parking nearby & only one garage I found was 24/7. It was an easy 10 min walk and only $20.

Price and location. Front desk staff very helpful.

Very nice staff. Very well located.

One of our towel had a stain on it. There was no real comfy duvet over the bedsheets, we had to boost the heat up.

Location No carpet in room

Staff friendly. Clean rooms

The room was noisy. Laminate floors mean noise from above due to inadequate noise insulation. Plumbing was noisy in our own room and from others.

Clean, comfortable rooms

Location

Breakfast and parking were not included, which for the price including at least one would be nice. We went to go to the bar below, the sign said closed at 12. It was just after 11 and it was all closed up for the night.

Felt like a dorm room

Clean nice and bed was comfortable

Room was very very small no chairs and could barely move around

Location, cleanliness and staff

Very small room.

Location Cleanliness

Service was slow including vip Buggies not available Flooding on one floor

Location.

Room was not as clean as previous times. Odd door in room at arrival. Heavy cigarette (stale) door in middle of the night.

Location and cleanliness

No fridge

The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel was very clean. The price was reasonable.

The decor is a little dated.

I love how it is in downtown Toronto. It's close to all the attractions.

The only two issues I had: 1. the tv was kinda old (which really didn't matter). 2. The sounds travel outside the room even with the door closed. I can hear people speaking/laughing and playing music from inside their closed door rooms.

Great location, good value, but small rooms

The hotel is located very close to all the downtown venues and Union Station for easy access. It is good value for money, but it is definitely a budget hotel, no frills. Kept very clean, and was adequate for a business stay by myself, but small size of room and lack of amenities would mean I wouldn't bring my family back.

Rooms are very clean and well kept, with nice white linens, but TINY. Almost brought me back to my university days, the rooms have a dorm room feel about them.

Cleanliness and proximity to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre AND the downtown core. I loved the fact that there was a pub in the hotel.

The rooms were small, but I knew that. The building is old, but It was clean and EVERYTHING else was wonderful.

My go to Toronto

Everything. Friendly clean.

Prepaid then charged my account. Still waiting for it back.

Location and underground parking right next door. Very convenient. Staff were welcoming. Room size is small but great for a short stay. A great find in downtown TO considering other pricier options.

TV signal was VHS tape quality - inexplicably bad for a hotel at this price level and location!

Modern fresh look

the rooms are very small and parking is hard to find

Proximity to locations I had to visit

One of the employee was really rude/annoying when I checked in

Great location for walking to attractions

Location Restaurant on sight has good reasonably priced breakfast Hardwood floors in rooms

Rooms are very small but clean

Convenient and cost effective

Good location Reasonable rates

Single bed option had small rooms

Very small room, didnt even have a closet or anywhere to hang clothes. Great location

Very tiny rooms

Great location! Good value for the money. Clean room.

Wifi is not free. It took over 20 minutes to drop off my car with the valet.

Nice hotel for financial district

Clean room. Walk across the road to Royal York for access to path!

Small room. It's hard to find attendant for morning breakfast if you want to order something.

So great to be right downtown and at such a good p

All of the staff were so friendly. And I mean ALL.

It was close to all of the sporting facilities and train station

Rooms very small, but very comfortable

Its good hotel and confortable

Great location. Right downtown and very close to ACC.

great value

incredibly noisy, people partying and doing drugs on my floor through the night which I could smell into my room

I liked the boutique hotel quality of it. The restaurant was very good for breakfast at a reasonable price.

I didn't like the parking, it was adequate but off site and in the advertising it sounded like it was on site.
