Although this hotel is in the university area, with Frat Houses nearby, it was a perfect choice for us. The hotel was quiet and relaxed. Housekeeping every day, do tea coffee etc replenished. The beds were supper comfy. The air-conditioning/forced air kept the room at gge perfect temperature overnight. The bar next door (The Maddy) was also a delight, great breakfast and evening meals, staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Restaurants cafes groceries and a couple of Tim Hortons all in walking distance. If you are using the bus tour system, walk out the front of the hotel, turn left and walk through the car park at the rear. Use the cross walk over the road and turn left. Bus stop is less than 50 yards away (opposite bus station).

Would have liked the option of breakfast before 11....it was great, but we only managed to have it on 2 occasions.

The room was perfect, I think we got really lucky facing the street. Is also seemed to be a quiet night I feel asleep quickly both evenings. We were looking to stay somewhere with a little bit more charm and this really fit the bill. The space was cozy and familiar without feeling stuffy and dated, much more personality than some chain hotels you can visit. We used the room to get ready for my wedding day and my partner and I stayed that night as well. Our stay was everything we needed, we will definitely be back again

We actually didn’t have any hiccups during our stay as we were there for such a short amount of time. It was very peaceful, exactly what we needed

I would strongly recommend this hotel. The receptionist is very sweet and helpful. Although it’s not a large hotel, the location is excellent. I stayed here for a conference at the UoT, and the price for the accommodation was very reasonable. The room size exceeded my expectations. It wasn’t very quiet at night—possibly because it was Halloween, and there’s a pub next door. Overall, I really liked this hotel, and if I have the chance, I will definitely stay here again in the future.

Big bright room with a balcony, excellent location, great price. Did not mind not having breakfast included, not a fan of hotel breakfasts generally and the hotel is so close to so many excellent breakfast & brunch spots anyway.

Decor and furniture are a little dated (though quaint). Room could have used some more dusting, and the "large bed" was just 2 single beds pushed together - we could feel the seam between them! Would have been nice to be able to turn off the continuous ventilation fan, but on the plus side it drowned out the street noise.

Parking is right at the back of the hotel, pay by the hour or day but very easy and the staff sent a note about that in advance. Subway & bus terminal, an actual building not just a stop, is right next to the parking lot. We drove to Toronto in the morning, parked and took the subway to watch an afternoon blue jays game and by the time we rode back it was ready for check-in.

Traffic getting to this area is busy so if you are driving allow extra time to get there, the GPS will likely under estimate. The bed was not the best but the room was quiet. Not sure if there is an elevator but we were on the 4th floor so check in advance if that is a concern.

Spacious room, security, privacy, convenient location relative to amenities and work-related destinations.

On the Friday 11 p.m. through to 2 a.m. there was very loud revelry from many people departing the pub that is attached to the hotel. The noise at times included what sounded like a motorcycle or car engine being revved without muffler.

The location is perfect. I was able to walk everywhere. The room was cozy and the bed and pillows very comfortable. I enjoyed being able to make tea in my room. The temperature of the room was perfect.

There was a lot of noise from the pub next door. Normally this would not be a problem because I wear ear plugs and sleep soundly. But the windows in my room didn't close completely so the noise was a bit worse than on my previous stays.

Location excellent as right on two subway lines and subway/ streetcar station right behind Mansion. Housekeeping excellent. Unique building Super clean. Character. Staff don't mind the front desk too long but a simple phone call and someone is there in a minute. Lots of signs to guide to help. Pub next door serves simple breakfast good pub fair great staff. BUT Pub is packed on weekend night with college kids yet offer entertaining crowd watching. Egads if they are this country's future I'm moving : )

The noise of ajoining Pub of boisterous College kids on weekends.

The room was very spacious and had a great atmosphere. overall very enjoyable and would stay there again.

Checkout was at 11 and a gentleman came to clean at 9:30 which I thought was a bit early. There was also a pack of cigarettes in a decorative dish I think cleaning missed from the previous guest.

Staff were very easygoing and friendly, and at time of booking the hotel was by far and away the cheapest available in Toronto that didn't have terrible reviews and wasn't a hostel. The rooms were nice and tidy and were cleaned every day we were there. Facilities a bit dated but everything worked really well. It's a bit of a trek from downtown Toronto, however it is only 5 minutes walk from Spadina subway station and is also not far from Casa Loma (which is worth a look, but at $40 pp is probably a bit much for a full visit!).

It is still quite expensive for what you get, especially considering there's no breakfast and facilities are somewhat dated. We were located below ground level so the rooms were a bit dingy; not a problem if like us, you were just using it as a base for days out in Toronto, but one to be aware of.
