    Room could have been a little cleaner.

    We are a 40yr old couple. We like that this spot was right in the middle of a party street. Fraternity on one side, bar on the other. We had a great time people watching, out front of the building. It gave us something to do after we came back from our event.

    Do not expect a standard cookie-cutter hotel. I knew its eccentricities, and had a good stay.

    IF YOU ARE MOBILITY-CHALLENGED OR DISABLED IN ANY WAY, DO NOT STAY HERE. The six stairs to Suite 105 were somewhat difficult for my arthritic knees. There were no useful handrails. All other rooms and suites are up higher. IF YOU ARE A SUPER-PLUS-SIZED PERSON, the placement of the toilet in Suite 105 will be difficult for you, because of the location of the towel heater. I am a plus-size person. I warn you honestly. The shower is excellent, and very spacious. The accommodations were built to fit the Victorian house, and the bathroom is quirky. NOTE THAT THE FRAT HOUSE NEXT DOOR PLAYS UNBELIEVABLY LOUD MUSIC, ON AND OFF, FROM 10 p.m. TO ABOUT 2 A.M. The reviews will warn you. The staff will warn you. I am warning you. The bass shakes the whole house. THE WHOLE SEPARATE HOUSE. It will shake YOU. Earplugs help. ✔️ How the neighbours on the other side tolerate the frat house every night all year, I do not know. Just don’t stay here if that would be unbearable for a night or two. Windows: no windows open in 105. (There is a good ceiling fan.)

    This hotel is in a great location: the Spadina Subway is very, very close by, and it is right next to a City of Toronto “Green P” parking lot (safe, and very reasonably priced). Drive here, use transit while in town. The staff are wonderful. The suite I had was very clean, and spacious. There is a grocery store on Bloor, and many restaurants - as well as the Madison Pub, if that is of interest. “The Annex” is a great neighbourhood, and the University of Toronto campus is right there. PS: I liked having a table and chairs, as well as a bed to sit on, and a mini fridge. Check with staff: every room is different.

    It wasn’t very clear where to check in. This is right next to a very big and popular student bar. We stayed on a Monday night so did not hear anything and maybe it is sound protected from the bar on other nights I can not say but something to keep in mind. I did hear big trucks which sounded like garbage trucks in the early hours around 6:00 am. Which were noisy. Other than that it was quiet. Lots of stairs to get to your room. It was good for one nights stay.

    The location was where we wanted to be. It was clean and the price was better then most places to stay in downtown Toronto. It’s an old hotel that makes you feel like you walked right into a hotel in the middle of Ireland somewhere.

    Everything was OK for me. There was nothing that I didn't like.

    Room was clean and spacious. Location was excellent for my needs, next to my child dorm. Helpful staff, no issues, expensive but still cheaper than most of the adjacent hotels. Good value for money.

    No early breakfast was available. I didn't want to confront the beggars in front of the Tim Hortons so I had to walk almost to Bathurst Street to get something to eat before 9:00 AM. The bathroom was extremely cold, owing to a single-paned window.

    I enjoyed the Victorian furniture and the proximity to the subway and several restaurants.

    It's only slight, but I feel like the many (many) drawers in the kitchenette could have stored something, even if it were a note to say 'please ask us for the things you might need'. Also, the TV was confusing as the channels took some finding and just as we got to the point of calling for help, was figured out. Other than that, the stay was all I expected it to be!

    On arrival we were given a larger room with a kitchenette attached, with kettle and keurig, and were promptly provided with utensils and dishware once we asked for them. The space was good, the beds were comfortable, and the water was hot. Having the pub next door was lovely, especially after having been out all day and just wanting a drink and some decent food at the end of it. The pub staff were excellent, too! The location is great. Around the corner from Spadina metro station and down the road from the tram and a grocery store and pharmacy just 5 mins along the road, too.
