Ideally located on Yonge St not far from the Eaton shopping Centre and handy for Union Station and the Toronto subway. Yes, the rooms are quite small and can be a little claustrophobic but the room had everything i needed, bed, TV, coffee maker and a bathroom. The bed did take up most of the room so if you like a bit of space you may want to consider elsewhere but for my three day stay it was perfectly located for me and perfectly adequate for my needs and i would certainly stay again. There are plenty of bars nearby both further up Yonge St (past the Eaton center) near St Lawrence Market and in the underground shopping areas. A great hotel i'd certainly use it again.

This small scale boutique hotel is located a couple of blocks from Union Station in the heart of Toronto. It has a charming vibe to it, and the price was great for down town Toronto. The facility is clean, and the beds were comfortable. We only stayed one night, but the next time I go back to Toronto,I know where I will be staying.

For many purposes, this hotel is in a fabulous location almost at the foot of Yonge Street, close to Union Station, the CN Tower, Rodgers Centre, the Sony Centre for the Arts, the Hockey Hall of Fame ... It is also in the financial district so relatively quiet during the weekends. We found a great bar that told us they were closed most weekends, except for major events like the Grey Cup. That's why we were there. There are nothing like the variety of restaurants and bars in the nearby area, nothing like, for example, further north on Yonge Street I expected a small room, but ours was *very* small, reminiscent of Europe. There was one small chair pushed under a tiny desk, but you couldn't pull the chair out very far before it bumped into the bed. I paid just over $150 a night for a three night stay, a good rate for downtown Toronto, but Saturday night at $194 I thought a bit over the top. Like some of your other reviewers, we also had a room with a view only of brick buildings you could almost touch from the window. There is a good restaurant off the lobby, but no bar and just a couch and a couple of chairs in the lobby. No newspapers to the door and no place to buy one within the hotel. The service was fine---front desk, maids--- and the modern room was spotless, but I would try another hotel next time.
Note to TripAdvisor: Your choices for the "sort of trip" are too limiting. You made me check something, so I checked "friends" which is not correct. We went for a major sporting event.

Standard boutique hotel with quaint touches of the old building. Rooms are small and reminded me of New York hotel rooms. View was of brick wall which was very "urban" to me. I also found the staff indifferent like some other reviewers and was also concerned about the lack of security from front door to room. Perhaps the hotel will consider adding key card access in the elevator? Location was surprising close to Hockey Hall of Fame and Eaton's center. Nice hotel for a business trip except there was no room service available for dinner, which at the end of a long day working is always the easiest way to eat.
I'll stay again because of the proximity to my office, but if room service, security or spacious rooms are important to you, keep looking elsewhere.
