The Strathcona is a reasonably priced hotel, convenient to Union Station, the subway etc. I stayed for one night in order to attend the opera, and the hotel was OK. Breakfast was available in a restaurant off the lobby, and some of the food was not hot (eg. sausages). However it was bitterly cold out and every building seemed to... more

Arriving at the Strathcona after a very long road trip was pleasantly surprising. As we booked the hotel solely based on location, we had no idea what to expect, but it was very nice. The room, however, was very very small, which might be because of its location and lack of space, but it was livable. Since we spent most... more

This hotel is beautiful and a great deal if you can get the $69 CAN room I did. However, plan to park up to five blocks away, since this hotel does not have parking. The night I stayed there were many events and concerts going on downtown and all the parking garages in the vicinity were full. My boyfriend had... more

I too was deceived by their pictures on the web, our room was the size of a postage stamp, walls very thin, could plainly hear people in the other rooms, and in the halls. First room there was a family with a young baby, we could hear the crying as if it was in our room, I've had my kids,... more

A centrally located hotel (walking distance to CN Tower, Union Station etc.) which was great value. The room was small but it was clean and modern. more

The staff was not especially helpful. They did nothing when I mentioned that we were disappointed in our room. They also charge you for wireless internet - an amenity... more

My sisters and I took our elderly parents for a special visit to Toronto on Labour Day weekend and we stayed at the Strathcona Saturday night. Your staff recognized an "over-booking problem" that required a change in our planned accommodation at your hotel, and promptly made suitable changes for us. Your hotel is very well-kept and comfortable, and the friendly... more

I stayed in this hotel for three nights early on in August 2009. I arrived at the hotel in the very early hours of the morning to exceptionally loud music and an empty reception desk. The office that was attached to the desk was open and there were no staff members to be seen! I eventually found the receptionist in... more

Stayed in the Strathcona for one night in August. Location is great, expecially if you are coming to see a baseball game. The rooms are small and small rooms don't usually bother me but this room was dark and dull. We were glad we were just staying for one night. I think we stayed in a queen so maybe you... more
