I say in a lot of my reviews that you get what you pay for, but every once in awhile you get even more than you could ever expect and you are blown away by the consistently excellent service. Ok, preface: we paid extra to stay on the Fairmont Gold floor (12) - so I guess we should have expected... More

We travelled to Toronto over the Easter Weekend 2012. We took a package that included parking and breakfast. We also reserved seating for Easter Brunch, a very popular outing. This is an old hotel and a classic with gold and wood trim and represents elegance in hotel stays. Plenty of space to sit and relax and watch the pagentry unfold.... More

Stayed over the long weekend with our two young children. Our first suite was on the gold floor and it was a really nice room and the complimentary breakfast on the floor's private lounge was super. As well, cocktails and snacks in the afternoon and evening were a treat. We had to move to a different suite not on the... More

Staying at the Royal York is a trip back to the glory days of the Canadian Pacific railroad. The ornate lobby with the elegant wood features is a delightful place to simply sit and enjoy the surroundings. The location is excellent for downtown activities with easy access to Union Station, the subway, and numerous dining options. The rooms are quite... More

We stayed a week at this hotel and stayed on the Gold floor which provides extras like full morning breakfast, mid morning and afternoon tea, pre dinner appitizers and after dinner desserts in a private dining room for guests on that floor, faster internet service, turndown service, etc. It was great. We enjoyed healthy breakfasts each day. The stay were... More

Old hotel, needs a lot of work. The first room we had did not have a hairdryer and the window was boarded up due to construction work outside. Couldn't fully open the cupboard as the bedside table was in the way. No drawers in this room, so nowhere to store any clothes that don't hang up. Why give us this... More

The hotel lobby looks impressive, kind of monumental and luxurious. We'd expect the same from the acommodation. Boy were we wrong. The room we reserved was not available so they offered us a smoking room instead and my associate accepted even though we were non smokers. Not that much of a deal though. The cleanliness of the room was outrageous... More

We spent a couple of days in Toronto for our anniversary, and the Royal York showed us a wonderful time. The room was perfect, and service was impeccable. The hotel surprised us with a cake and sparkling wine for our anniversary. We're big fans, and likely won't stay anywhere else if we can help it.

The breakfast was first class, as were the complimentary hors d'ouvre. Room was slightly on the small size, but beautifully furnished, with fresh flowers every day.
