I stay here 2-3 times per year for business and it is consistently excellent. Great service, interesting variety of rooms, great beds and everything you need for business. I love the location, so many things (including baseball/basketball) within walking distance. Restaurants are very fine and i love the Library Bar. Major construction on Front St. at present but not noisy... More

Needed to stay close to the Toronto Centre for a conference and chose this hotel due to it's proximity . Reservations were made months in advance , yet the room was across the hall from a main elevator shaft ... think airport room facing the runway ! The room itself was marginal , old mattress , mismatched furniture , outdated... More

We stay at the Royal York whenever we are in Toronto - going for a wedding this summer in fact. It can't be beat. We tried another hotel last trip but were disappointed. It's just not the same. We love the old fashioned etiquette, charm, decor and service. It's pricey but worth it. Even if we're in town for a... More

I stayed at the Fairmont for a conference. The stay was great. I know this may sound odd but I really like the smell of the shampoo/conditioner/shower gel. Although some meals were provided by the hotel for the conference I enjoyed going to the breakfast shop on the ground level. You can get a breakfast sandwich and coffee for around... More

Excellent hotel for both business or pleasure, nicely appointed rooms clean lots of attention to detail, very comfortable bed and linens. The staff as much as possible addressed us by our names including valet and chambermaid, now that is attention to detail. Highly recommend this hotel, it is like you are in grand hotel in a film.

My wife and I stayed here for one night in 2003. The Royal York is pure exuberance - chandeliers, persian rugs, and anything that can be painted gold is gold. Not my style but I can see why so many celebs and European royal families stay here. The rooms are nice and clean, but generally small. The shower had some... More

I am a frequent visitor to Toronto. After multiple stays at the Royal York, particularly over the last number of years, I felt it was time to write a review… I’ll admit a bit of a bias; as I love many of the old CP hotels: Montebello, Banff Springs, St. Andrews… almost 25 years ago we had our wedding reception...

We have stayed at this location whenever our travels make it to Toronto. Not the cheapest place in town, but very convenient to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Rogers Center, Air Canada center, theater district, the Market, waterfront and other tourist attractions. All the restaurants and bars are excellent. Again, not the cheapest in town, but you get what you... More

Reserved a room on the Gold Floor for one night. Arrived before 10:00 AM on a Thursday and the room was ready. Ate breakfast in the Gold Floor lounge. Internet connection in the lounge was MUCH faster than the connection in the room itself. Comfortable bed; good shower water pressure. Room in good repair especially considering the age of the...

This was a splurge hotel for me on a recent visit to Toronto, and it was worth it. The hotel is lovely, centrally located and has very kind & pleasant staff. It is expensive, but luxurious.
