Toronto (ON) hotels & accommodations
Stayed over the weekend in transit through Toronto on my way to Winnipeg. The hotel is conveniently located right near Union Station where the UP ends. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable and stocked nicely with coffee machine and bathtub to warm up after a cold winter's day out. But also walking distance to the paths to take you around downtown. Lovely atmospher...
I booked the Chelsea after checking prices a couple of days prior to leaving PA on this trip. The hotel offered a $167 rate which for what they offer is a great price. They are the largest hotel in Toronto and were very busy -- especially we saw a lot of flight crews. What we learned: 1) wi-fi in room was free but very low bandwidth (almost unusable), go to lobby (5 ti...
The best hotel I’ve stayed at in Toronto. Close to Dundas square and very nice and clean with newly renovated rooms. Only thing is no parking on site so I had to pay $38 for parking somewhere else which is a bit far fetched considering the room for one night is over $200. In this case it should include parking with room. Other than that beautiful hotel and great staff...
Hotel was really great.. Concierge was not really knowledgeable tho.. Food in restaurant was really good.. It’s all pricey, but that’s Toronto.. Would return ...
The hotel went through a recent major renovation and we give it rave reviews. We are in Toronto often and have always stayed elsewhere. We think that is about to change. The King Eddie is an exceptional hotel in all categories. You will enjoy your stay. Get the delux king room… fabulous! Sent from my iPad
The price is ok compared with other 3 stars hotels in the same location. The room is the size I get used to in Toronto. They are all very small. But it’s very very clean. I like the little smell of bleach on the bed.
The hotel looks like an old hotel that has been refurbished. The room was very clean and functional, on a high floor with a good view of the street/city. Facilities were great, breakfast was good (toward basic). Location: a little far to the west of the city but still very much able to walk to all attractions. Rental bike station right in front of the hotel made ...
Pros: near street train, entertainment and resto. Cons: no extra towel rack for more than one towel. Signs of age very visible. Drive way is not on King St. , so if you don't know, you unload on King St.
The staff were very nice however I was told to give a down payment of $150 which I would get back the day I leave.. upon leaving I was told 5 to 7 working days. The room was nice but not as clean as one would hope. The breakfast lady Violet was wonderful as were the rest of the staff. The hotel is located in a nice area easily accessible to public transport and local s...
Staff were very friendly, room was small but clean, pool and hot tub were really nice. Restaurant was amazing. Bed was a bit hard but not a deal breaker.
I couldn't be happier to stay at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel. I could say it is definitely my choice of hotel in Toronto.
Our travel agent researched and booked The Westin Harbour Castle Hotel for us and we couldn't have been happier. Okay, it's a huge (900+ rooms) convention style hotel but the rate offered via Agoda was great compared to similar Toronto downtown 4* and 5* rated hotels. The rooms with comfy king beds are huge and the bathrooms are lovely. The hotel has numerous food and ...
The location is excellent - steps away from wonderful restaurants like Alo/Aloette, Byblos, and Pai, ten hops to Starbucks and the local drugstore/mart, and an easy Uber ride away to anywhere. Room is more than decent, with a firm but soft bed and 3 pillows, fresh sheets and clean bathroom. With microwave too. Breakfast is ok - not much by way of selection but taste...
Even though the hotel is located Scarborough, outside Toronto, getting into Toronto was fairly easy. A ten minute car ride got us to the train station where you can park your car for free. And the train ride was reasonable, comfortable and direct. It was worth staying out of the city in order to save on the high hotel rates in Toronto proper. Overall a very nice st...
We were so pleased to be here when the Raptors took on the GS Warriors as we expected Toronto to go off!!!! It did. The hotel was well placed to experience the vibe. The sign “We the north” was up. We loved it. The room and facilities were great and the staff very friendly and professional. Highly recommend. Become a Hilton honors member.
Pros: Felt welcomed that moment i walked in. Lovely room and location and food and staff. Decor was modern and funky, but not cold or off-putting. Great home-base from which to explore Toronto. Cons: Happy hour from 4-6 was very crowded and I felt a bit ignored by the staff as a solo diner. The whiskey sour and pizza were both good, although I had to work a bit to...
Booked this hotel at the last minute owing to a flight delay when the airline refused to provide accommodation vouchers, so this was the best deal I could find online. It sufficed for a 1-night stay. The room was not cleaned thoroughly with housekeeping inadvertently leaving a recycling box with some paper in the room. Also, the light placements and switches were terri...
Great hotel! Didn’t think the hotel would be that nice considering how much I paid for it, but turned out to be a very luxurious hotel with great staff located in a quiet area with tons of great restaurants in close proximity. Really wanted to use the outdoor pool during my stay but it seemed like it was being repaired so instead me and my guests settled for the whirlp...
The location is close to the airport, and the free shuttle is really helpful ! The staffs are friendly and always trying to help us have a great stay in Toronto!
Definitely picked the right hotel for our stay in Downtown Toronto - haven't been back for some 20 years for more than a day and it was nice to be in the centre of it all. Had to do some personal things, banking, etc. and with the subway nearby one could get to almost anywhere that you couldn't walk. Loblaw's Superstore on Carlton only a minute away - and should be on ...
It a nice comfortable hotel situated very near Toronto airport, The staff were courteous and friendly. I would specially like to thank Ms. Tanya at the reception and Mr. A Munir at the concierge for their exceptional service rendered to us. We would definitely recommend and visit again in future.
The hotel is very good, good location, efficient shuttle, room clean and comfortable, However, they let themselves down at check in. DO NOT give your credit card details on check in. Although I had already booked via Agoda they charged me again for the room via my credit card. A week later it was refunded however I was still stuck with loss on exchange rate and bank ch...
First the negative: We were told valet parking would be available when we arrived, it's actually first come first serve which would have been helpful. At first I was annoyed, but the staff was VERY apologetic and gave us a less expensive option for parking and allowed us to park in the lot for a little bit to take our luggage to the room. They also informed us to come ...
Once you get pass that there’s no elevator in the 3 floor hotel and the free breakfast is just bagels, coffee, or cereal you realize you picked a pretty good hotel in downtown Toronto. The rooms are spacious, clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff are very helpful and accommodating. I’d stay here again in heart beat.
Good facilities, breakfast included was a plus. The hotel should get more cribs since we requested one and were told they only had 3 cribs available and were all taken.
Very good for stay close to Toronto Pearson Airport. The staff is really great. Will stay again if needed
The hotel is not far from the airport and the hotel clark at the reception is very friendly. The internet facility is free of charge of course and the Itarian restrant attached to the hotell is so delicious. I would be sure to book this hotel is I had another chance to visit Toront. They gave me a ride to the airport on my departure day with free of charge. I could ...
Close to airport with a shuttle leaving every 20 minutes. Nicely decorated, clean hotel. Bit of travel time required if you plan to go back and forth from downtown frequently.

As previously, I was satisfied with my stay at Woodbine Hotel and Suites, but this time the surprise was finding that the rooms are sealed -- my previous visit was in March, when I never thought about opening the window. This time the cost of the shuttle was no surprise, and the complimentary breakfast was quite acceptable, with the usual hot and cold selections avai...
Quiet location yet near a vibrant part of town and a subway stop. Room #3 was spacious with high ceilings, comfortable bed & chairs, good AC, small refrigerator & microwave, fine internet, and lots of windows (looking at trees and the Rogers building). To be aware of: It's a one man operation, with a very friendly host, but he might be at a nearby property when you t...
Shuttle bus servise is good, the size of the shuttle bus is large, so no need to wait for 2nd round to get on the bus. The hotel is about 10mins drive from airport, the rooms are big and clean. Very confortable. There are different restaurants neraby the hotel, about 10mins walk from hotel. Very nice . Will stay again next time come to Toronto.

Everything is wonderful, I got a very nice experience
I’ve stayed there for one week, there is a lot of immigrant living into that hotel, people are screaming in the hallway at night, fire alarm woke us up at 1am and needed to go outside for 30 minute with our daughter, found diarrhea poop into the swimming pool, half of the gym machines are broken, jacuzzi is broken too, the buffet is really simple, do not expect a 5 st...

Hotel is easy access and near to the central bus station. Staff are friendly too. Happen that the day when I check in, left only 1 girl manning the counter and there are a little bit of queue. .. So it took me extra time to check in. Overall is good. Staff are friendly

Arrived 7am and asked to use the gym shower. I was kindly provided access key and was able to have my suitcase checked in with the bellhop. However the 2 showers did not have hot water. Towels were provided, but the locker room required my own lock which I didnt have so I changed inside the shower with my backpack. Only dispensable soap was available. Checked in at ...
nice place, very near church & wellesley, clean, and ease in checkin and checkout
I didn’t like the extra parking fees. Front desk should be friendlier
Always a good stay at the intercon Toronto. One thing I discovered this time was it may be the easiest hotel to access from the train that runs Pearson airport - Union station. You exit, cross one street and you are there! Will stay again and no more 60$ taxi rides!
The only reason I only have the facilities 3 stars is because the floor of the hot tub was extremely slippery and I slipped getting in and hurt my foot/leg .Could have been much worse had my husband not caught me. Also, the hot tub had a lot of "dirt" floating around in it and could use a good cleaning. BUT the staff were very friendly and helpful even rearranged thin...
We stayed here for 3 nights and found the location to be good. Not to far from downtown Toronto. The motel was nicely kept and the breakfast was adequate. Nice parks nearby as well.
I stayed at holiday in this past weekend and the experience was super amazing, I felt at home staying at the hotel, everything was so good, the staffs was accommodative and friendly, the breakfast was so amazing and yummy everyday, I love everything about holiday in downtown and next time I’m in Toronto I will definitely stay there, it now my home whenever I’m in Toro...

Let me just say that my wife told me that the next time we travel through Toronto, we ARE staying at the Holiday Inn Toronto Airport. The rooms were comfortable, the staff was very nice and friendly. If you want shopping, this is not the location; if you have a day or two and you just want to relax, this is a good spot. Three or Four steak house restaurants are within...

This is a perfect central location for Toronto tourists. The transit stops are close and convenient to see anything in the city. Walking distance to the Aga Museum.

Convenient location, close to airport, friendly efficient & responsive staff, nice rooms and clean.
Stayed on the 7 floor in a newly renovated suite. It was a pleasure and a delight as this hotel was great. Room service was tasty also. My only suggestion would be. Out of the 6 pillows on the bed... I wish 1 was a firm pillow as all were too soft. However I'd return for sure.
This hotel is heaven! I loved the location . Yorkville and the University of Toronto are both at your door step. My husband and I loved walking around the Annex area in the evenings. And dining and shopping in Yorkville is always amazing. If this isn't enough, the first class service at check in and check out only adds to the total Toronto experience. We will definitel...

We were in Toronto for 5 days and really enjoyed the time. Our apartment was on the first floor and was very nicely decorated. The apartment is well and modern equipped.

I have never stayed at a hotel with better customer service. I travelled to Toronto with my 8 year old daughter for a special getaway and the Fairmont did not disappoint!

The city is well planned and has a very good transport system, you will never get lost. People are friendly and relaxing, lots of good eating places and full of activities.
If you are driving, please park your car at your hotel and use public transport or walk. Public car parks are not cheap.
toronto is oke city but expensive is you have medis and the intercintinental hotel in front city is bad services.
good place to have your vacation or business trip. if you can come with your families and friends, you guys are lucky enough to have a wounderful and special experience.
Very nice city, if you will travel with public transports, i recommended buy "pass day" in subway for travelling all day free.
I like Toronto. There is a lot of things to see and do in Winter actually. Great shopping at Eaton Shopping Centre.
Went to Toronto for a few days in December and January, people are always friendly and helpful, at Nathan Philip Square there is outdoor iceskating that is very fun
When to visit Toronto really depends on what type of traveller you are. There are a myriad of things to do and see in Toronto and its neighbouring cities, but not all is as impressive all year round.
Toronto (ON) hotels with breakfast
I booked the Chelsea after checking prices a couple of days prior to leaving PA on this trip. The hotel offered a $167 rate which for what they offer is a great price. They are the largest hotel in Toronto and were very busy -- especially we saw a lot of flight crews. What we learned: 1) wi-fi in room was free but very low bandwidth (almost unusable), go to lobby (5 ti...
I have never stayed at a hotel with better customer service. I travelled to Toronto with my 8 year old daughter for a special getaway and the Fairmont did not disappoint! They made her feel like a total princess the entire time. Also being within walking distance of all the major tourist sites was a huge benefit. The valet service was worth every single penny. Even the...
Definitely picked the right hotel for our stay in Downtown Toronto - haven't been back for some 20 years for more than a day and it was nice to be in the centre of it all. Had to do some personal things, banking, etc. and with the subway nearby one could get to almost anywhere that you couldn't walk. Loblaw's Superstore on Carlton only a minute away - and should be on ...
Let me just say that my wife told me that the next time we travel through Toronto, we ARE staying at the Holiday Inn Toronto Airport. The rooms were comfortable, the staff was very nice and friendly. If you want shopping, this is not the location; if you have a day or two and you just want to relax, this is a good spot. Three or Four steak house restaurants are within...
My stay was very pleasant at the Novotel Toronto Center. The room was a decent size, very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly. The location was great! Very close to Union Station, CN Tower, Nathan Phillips Square and the Eaton Center. I would recommend this hotel
Hotel was really great.. Concierge was not really knowledgeable tho.. Food in restaurant was really good.. It’s all pricey, but that’s Toronto.. Would return ...
Great hotel! Didn’t think the hotel would be that nice considering how much I paid for it, but turned out to be a very luxurious hotel with great staff located in a quiet area with tons of great restaurants in close proximity. Really wanted to use the outdoor pool during my stay but it seemed like it was being repaired so instead me and my guests settled for the whirlp...
Probably the best airport hotel at YYZ (Toronto) good beds, ok breakfast, hard to go wrong
The best I’ve been to in the Kensington Market area, so far!
Pros: near street train, entertainment and resto. Cons: no extra towel rack for more than one towel. Signs of age very visible. Drive way is not on King St. , so if you don't know, you unload on King St.
This hotel is heaven! I loved the location . Yorkville and the University of Toronto are both at your door step. My husband and I loved walking around the Annex area in the evenings. And dining and shopping in Yorkville is always amazing. If this isn't enough, the first class service at check in and check out only adds to the total Toronto experience. We will definitel...
We were so pleased to be here when the Raptors took on the GS Warriors as we expected Toronto to go off!!!! It did. The hotel was well placed to experience the vibe. The sign “We the north” was up. We loved it. The room and facilities were great and the staff very friendly and professional. Highly recommend. Become a Hilton honors member.
This is a perfect central location for Toronto tourists. The transit stops are close and convenient to see anything in the city. Walking distance to the Aga Museum. Both indoor and outdoor pools, excellent food in the restaurant! Our only negative takeaway from our stay was that the amazing restaurant and kitchen staff were run off their feet as they were perpetually u...
The hotel is not far from the airport and the hotel clark at the reception is very friendly. The internet facility is free of charge of course and the Itarian restrant attached to the hotell is so delicious. I would be sure to book this hotel is I had another chance to visit Toront. They gave me a ride to the airport on my departure day with free of charge. I could ...
Always a good stay at the intercon Toronto. One thing I discovered this time was it may be the easiest hotel to access from the train that runs Pearson airport - Union station. You exit, cross one street and you are there! Will stay again and no more 60$ taxi rides!
I couldn't be happier to stay at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel. I could say it is definitely my choice of hotel in Toronto.
Even though the hotel is located Scarborough, outside Toronto, getting into Toronto was fairly easy. A ten minute car ride got us to the train station where you can park your car for free. And the train ride was reasonable, comfortable and direct. It was worth staying out of the city in order to save on the high hotel rates in Toronto proper. Overall a very nice st...
NOT GOOD
came here for business and stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. it is very close to the airport and the international center. good for business traveler. however, one thing to note is that there is another holiday inn on the same street.
I would recommend this Hilton location, clean friendly and great staff. PH
Convenient location, close to airport, friendly efficient & responsive staff, nice rooms and clean.
Our travel agent researched and booked The Westin Harbour Castle Hotel for us and we couldn't have been happier. Okay, it's a huge (900+ rooms) convention style hotel but the rate offered via Agoda was great compared to similar Toronto downtown 4* and 5* rated hotels. The rooms with comfy king beds are huge and the bathrooms are lovely. The hotel has numerous food and ...
Everything is wonderful, I got a very nice experience
The place was clean quiet and I enjoyed my stay.
As previously, I was satisfied with my stay at Woodbine Hotel and Suites, but this time the surprise was finding that the rooms are sealed -- my previous visit was in March, when I never thought about opening the window. This time the cost of the shuttle was no surprise, and the complimentary breakfast was quite acceptable, with the usual hot and cold selections avai...
My family and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and found it Super convenient to everything including the bus/subway system, Canada's Wonderland and conveniently located to services nearby. Hotel staff were great, helpful and friendly. Rooms and facilities were clean and well maintained and the breakfast was pretty good, with a nice selection. Only recommendation...
Good facilities, breakfast included was a plus. The hotel should get more cribs since we requested one and were told they only had 3 cribs available and were all taken.
I stayed at holiday in this past weekend and the experience was super amazing, I felt at home staying at the hotel, everything was so good, the staffs was accommodative and friendly, the breakfast was so amazing and yummy everyday, I love everything about holiday in downtown and next time I’m in Toronto I will definitely stay there, it now my home whenever I’m in Toro...
Arrived 7am and asked to use the gym shower. I was kindly provided access key and was able to have my suitcase checked in with the bellhop. However the 2 showers did not have hot water.

Exploring Toronto is a breeze, thanks to its efficient public transportation system. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates subways, streetcars, and buses that connect various parts of the city. The subway system is particularly convenient for reaching major attractions quickly, with lines that cover a wide area. Purchasing a day pass can be a cost-effective way to travel if planning to use public transport frequently during your visit. The TTC's user-friendly app provides real-time updates, making it easy to navigate the system.
For a more scenic route, consider hopping on a streetcar, which offers a charming way to see the city while traveling. Streetcars run through many neighborhoods, allowing passengers to experience local life as they move from one area to another. Biking is also a popular option, with bike-sharing programs available throughout the city. The extensive network of bike lanes makes cycling a safe and enjoyable way to explore Toronto at your own pace.
For those who prefer to drive, rental cars are available, but parking can be challenging in busy areas. Ridesharing services are also widely used, providing a convenient alternative for getting around. Regardless of your preferred mode of transportation, Toronto is designed to make exploring its many attractions easy and accessible.

Toronto experiences a diverse climate, with four distinct seasons that each offer unique experiences for visitors. The summer months (June to August) are warm and vibrant, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities and festivals. Average temperatures range from 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F), perfect for exploring parks and enjoying waterfront activities. However, it's essential to stay hydrated and wear sunscreen while enjoying the sunny days.

When packing for your trip, consider layering your clothing, especially during the transitional seasons. Comfortable shoes are essential for walking around the city, and don’t forget an umbrella, as rain can occur year-round. Regardless of the season, Toronto has something to offer, ensuring a memorable visit.
