    The breakfast could be improved, it is rather bland and monotonous. We got a lot of noise from both the streets (motor gang) and the room below (shouting lady at 4am).

    Squeaky old villa with lots of character. Lovely atmosphere and good facilities.

    Were downtown for a concert at LCA. Location was good for our stay as Q line station was right down the street. Manager was welcoming and professional.

    The host was most gracious. She is very accommodating and responsive. For anyone who has not been to Toronto, she is an excellent ambassador to the city, providing recommendations for activities and advice for how to get around. She wanted to make sure we felt welcome, and she achieved that goal. Do not hesitate to stay here.

    The breakfast was embarrassing..really lacking. I would expect a charming place like this to do something a little special. Toast,bagel, cold cereal, hard boiled egg and an orange…bleak and boring.

    These historic homes are just beautiful. The rooms are well furnished with very comfortable bedding. It is a beautiful neighborhood.

    See above!

    The inn is made up of a series of elegant historic old mansions which are all very nice and atmospheric. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The location is great, very convenient to many of the museums with nice restaurant options not far away. The continental breakfast did not have a very wide array of options nor was well-stocked so was the big disappointment. Also out first night dome of the younger guests made a lot of noise partying late at night. That was quieted after a while. Parking on premises is available for an extra fee.

    I really liked the location. It was near a lot of museums, some within walking distance. I really liked the setup of the houses and how clean ours was. The bed was very comfortable. Easy parking and very kind staff. There is water and tea available downstairs at all times within your house, which is very nice.

    We love the place next to the Derroit Institut of Arts. There is a cosy small and neat backyard. The Lady at the reception (MJ) was very friendly and nice. There are several locations to go about for dinner and bars, the area is clean and safe next to the campus.

    Nice budget option in a restored Victorian mansion in a great neighbourhood close to all the museums

    To be fair, we booked the “budget” room so we knew it would be small. In fact, the woman who checked us in made sure to mention this, probably so we would keep our expectations in check. The double room was at the top of 3 flights of stairs (no elevator). Not a lot of space to put bags and things. No fridge. There was a window air conditioner and the bed was right up against it (no headboard) so the air blew on whoever was on that side. It had also clearly been leaking so there were towels stuffed all around it. Shower took a while to heat up and the pressure was weak - likely due to old plumbing.

    Great location - minutes walking distance from the DIA and other museums. Our room was in a restored Victorian mansion, so lots of old charm and details. There was a lounge area on the ground floor if you wanted to sit and relax. The bed was a double and it took up most of the room, but it was very comfortable. Some free and paid parking options on the street; otherwise, it cost $15 plus tax per night for hotel parking. Coffee and light breakfast options were set out in the building next door to us from 7-10 am. Coffee, toast, cereal, hard boiled eggs - enough to provide sustenance until lunch. Staff were friendly.
