My wife and I travel to Toronto frequently and almost always choose to stay at the Intercontinental Yorkville (when the Toronto Int'l Film Festival isn't!). We have consistently received excellent service every time. This go round we learned that our departing flight was cancelled and we had about 5 extra hours to kill with nowhere to go. The hotel went above and beyond the call of duty to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Management obviously doing something right here!

I booked this hotel via hotwire in May 2012 for the Grey Cup in November. From looking at their prices I definitely got a good deal. The hotel was worth what I paid, but I wouldn't pay full price as it wasn't that fabulous. I called in July to request 2 double or queen beds, but come check in my request wasn't granted. I didn't think it would be possible, but I thought by calling so early that there was a slight chance. The front desk attentandent told me that there were just too many over 40 year old men staying with them that it wasn't possible to give me 2 beds. I guess it's a good thing I was with my sister and having to share a king size wasn't as uncomfortable as it would have been if I was a 40 year old man. Overall the room was nice, but nothing special. It wasn't an overly large room, but we did overlook Bloor so that was nice. The bathroom had a separate tub from the shower and was a fairly large bathroom. The shower itself was quite tiny and I don't imagine it was quite enjoyable for those larger 40 year old men staying that weekend. The rooms were quiet and I didn't hear any outside noise at all. The location is great. The subway stop isn't even a block away. There's a Shoppers Drug Mart just outside the hotel. As nice as it was to have Valet parking it is a steep fee, but thankfully I got the rooms at a pretty good rate so I still feel like I came out ahead. I have no complaints, but I certainly wouldn't pay over $200 for this room even on Grey Cup weekend.

This hotel is well located and that is about the best things I can say - the room was very much in need of an upgrade - bathroom was really not nice - breakfast was strange and the staff seemed very uncertain of what was available.
The outside area is pleasant and so are the staff - but the room - oh dear!!

It's our 7th return to this hotel in Toronto. We still love it for it's boutique ambience. We are Amabassor members so it provides us with an upgrade to a suite each time we visit. Minutes from great dining and shopping...Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, Escada, Guerlain, Holt Renfrew (exactly like Saks in the USA) and so many other luxury brand stores. Intercontinental Yorkville is quiet elegance with a great restaurant, Signatures. We will be back soon.
