Location is good, but so is every downtown Toronto hotel. Nothing to brag about or feel proud of. Rooms are extremely small and for what I paid I could have had the same price with more services in another hotel, minus the bad attitudes manning reception and with some sort of identity.

Great location, not very expensive, clean, comfortable and in a great location for exploring the city.

We finally got an empty room and it was smelly and small. This is not the worst. At 1 am, there were other guests using their room card trying to open our... More

Located right across the street from the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. We arrived via Porter airlines, took the free shuttle bus to the Royal York and a minute after getting off the bus were at our hotel. We arrived way before check in time (around 9:30 am) but our room was ready and they let us check in. If your... More

The Strathcona is across from Union Station and down the side St (York I think) so close to the side door of the Royal York where the Porter and other limos sit.near the area with park benches. Strathcona also give you a discount if you show your VIA train ticket. More
