I stay in hotels 16+ nights in a month and this is the first review I have ever taken the initiative to write! Arriving in downtown Toronto at 11pm with no reservations I was directed by a competing hotel to 2 Church St for parking. The lot was vacant. This was downtown of a major city so rather trippy but...

Not up to standard for a Novotel or for the prices they charge. First, the good: Room is spotless, location is great, wifi free and gets the job done. The bad: It's simply out of date. Shower water does not get very hot, bathroom old fashioned, TV is old fashioned with terrible picture, bed is lumpy and terribly uncomfortable. Front... More

We have stayed at this hotel numerous times. Its location is great as you are close to a daily indoor market, the main train/subway station, and lots of great restaurants. It is just off a main street so the area itself is quite compared to the rest of the city. Rooms are clean and the check-in is quick. A good... More

Ii have stayed on the Novotel Toronto centre a few times. It is near the Go bus terminal and Union Station, close to a lot of restaurants and shopping. You could walk to the Eaton Centre or get a subway, only a few minutes to get there. Rooms are not fancy, but roomy, clean and a great location.

We stayed at the Novotel to see the Maple Leafs play. It was easy to get to, despite all the downtown construction, and the location to the stadium was excellent. There were a large number of good places to eat and the hockey Hall of Fame was also close. The price was very competitive and the hotel was well run.

Beds and pillows were uncomfortable. Location was great. Quite a bit of road and building construction made arrival slightly tricky. Fitness area was adequate. There were a number of unsupervised teens who were somewhat noisy and disruptive in the fitness and pool area.

Unfortunately, the ventilation system was imbedded with some deodorizing element which bothered my sinuses and I spent the night with my face covered, trying to get some sleep. Overall, the hotel room was passable but rather gloomy.
