My partner and I decided to do a weekend getaway at this hotel. When we arrived here, we were assigned a room facing the back of the hotel, which we assumed would be quieter than the front, which faces a busy street with a streetcar. We were dead wrong about that. On our first night, Friday night, we came back to our room around 1:30 am, went to bed around 2 am, and were rudely awoken around 4 am by the beeping sound of trucks reversing their way into the hotel’s loading dock. There were no fewer than four trucks parked at the back of the hotel, with lots of noisy activity, including a bunch of hotel employees on the street outside. This noise went on for HOURS such that we could not get to sleep for a long time. When we actually got back to sleep, we were woken up later by a garbage truck beeping to reverse into the loading dock and loading garbage for around 10 minutes. Shockingly, Saturday night was a total repeat of Friday night, with loud beeping, lots of trucks, and a bunch of hotel employees working directly below us for hours in the middle of the night. I’m stunned that a hotel of any kind, not least a luxury hotel, could do this kind of thing to its guests. Our weekend was completely ruined, despite having spent a small fortune on this room. If you value your sleep at all, stay far away from this extremely noisy hotel!…

Hotel's Favorite
Fantastic! The staff I encountered were all kind and empathetic -- it seemed like they really cared about the guest experience. Air Canada lost my luggage, and the hotel was helpful in supplying me some toiletries and directing me to the Eaton Center shopping mall to buy clothes. I was attending a conference that took place off-site, but we had nightly cocktail receptions and a gala dinner on the last night, which was truly amazing -- live jazz music, amazing food beautifully presented, and an elegant setting. Room service was also amazing - fast and extremely tasty. The bar is upscale and I was pleased they have a good selection of non-alcoholic drink options. I requested a quiet room, and received 1044. This room sort of faces an alley, so there wasn't much street noise. It is located next to the elevators, and I could hear the motor move all night, but I think it was still better than having to deal with street noise, given how busy the area is. Next time, I would love to try high tea and the spa. …

Overall I liked the Hotel, great location, couldn'tbe better, easy access to tube, tram and walking anywhere, nice helpful staff, heads up to the Concierge, he's amazing, however, there was some things that put us off, there was some wrapping on our room floor from previous guests, the rooms lack some things I consider basic, a bit more light, too much carpet, toiletries in big bottles not small plastic ones, windows that open for fresh air, more options for room service at a bit more affordable price and a buffet breakfast also at a more affordable price, among others. But this is OK there's plenty of breakfast choices around it for far less money. My toilet had to be repaired, it leaked water all over the place. Had the red message light on the phone on for 3 days without any messages pending. The sink's plug didn't work the first day. The air con was extremely noisy so we had to have it off and wifi worked well but it is a paid service. All in all not the quality you expect on a hotel this expensive. Staff were very nice and attentive. I would chose a different option next time.…

This wonderful hotel and staff looked after me when I stayed in Toronto. My amazing sister Robin and her truly wonderful husband Greg, family and friends welcomed me and made the aching sadness of saying farewell to Robin, a conversely positive and loving experience. The staff at the hotel are genuinely thoughtful, kind and have insight to anticipate a guests needs. Thank you.

We stayed here 4 nights and the hotel was great. The room was very quiet, clean and th bed was comfy. The coffee machine was a great plus for us and the WiFi was good. The hotel is really central and a short walk to the main train station

I have been traveling on business almost every week for over 40 years and this is the worst experience in a hotel I have ever had. The put me on the 16th floor and on the 17th floor there was a wedding happening. It was so loud that it was impossible to sleep and I had to be up next morning at 6 am. I call to see if I could change rooms but couldn't. They offered to send me up some ear plugs but no one showed up. The noise and particularly the vibrations - I could not believe a hotel could be so terribly made. Would not recommend even at $60 per night never mind the $400 room charge. They promote themselves as a luxury hotel - more like a street ghetto on a Saturday night.

Excellent service from start to finish. The staff made our stay very special as we were celebrating birthdays. Breakfast was very good and we did not have included in room but was $40 each but so worth it. Very fresh and great selection. Concierge was so helpful

Balance of great location and relatively moderate price. I visited this hotel from Aug. 2- Aug. 6, 2023, specifically to attend a festival called Caribana. This hotel balances premium location, affordability, and amenities that reach a global standard. Hotels in US cities should be more like the Omni King. This hotel is in many ways comparable to the casinos of Atlantic City or Rhode Island hotels, and I wish U.S. hotels would take some lessons. The Staff- 5 out of 5 The staff were cool. There was a designated concierge who told me how to reach different places in Toronto. The cleaning staff was professional and prompt. I cannot really ask for more. The Room- 3 out of 5 Fair for the price I paid. The room was just like any other studio hotel room. The bed was nice and big and there was a desk that doubled as my work station. The room was identical in many ways to the rooms in U.S. hotels, which just shows that U.S. hotels could reach this standard with minimal efforts. Amenities- 5 out of 5 Here, the hotel begins shining. First, staff cleaned the room every day! For international travelers this might seem a bare minimum, but in the U.S. you have to have some special status even to make this request. Staff hung bathrobes in the closet and provided daily towel replacement! You could even request that staff change the sheets! The gym had every machine a non-body builder would need. There was a beautiful spa I did not try. The restaurants looked top notch but the street food was fine for me. Location- 6 out of 5 The City of Toronto was like a breath of fresh air! It was diverse, young, and clean. For those who have not visited, imagine a mix of downtown Manhattan and a college campus. The people were nice and the City did not have that underlying racial tension simmering beneath most U.S. cities. I honestly think I found a new top-3 city in North America. I will definitely re-visit. May I mention the beauty of the people as well. The residents have mixed and the walking keeps them looking good. The hotel's location is truly exceptional! Right in the heart of downtown Toronto, this hotel was within walking distance of most of the action. I came here for Caribana, which is a Caribbean group of festivals modeled on Trinidad's Carnival, and I had an awesome time! I felt ten years younger. The hotel is on King street, and I cannot think of a better location. Most of the nightlife was ten blocks away from the hotel. I walked to the Caribana main festival in 20 minutes whereas Uber would have taken 30. The CN tower and aquarium were 20 mins' walk away. There was something called the Museum of Illusions 10 mins away from the hotel as well. The famous markets, the University, and most of the tourist attractions were within 30 mins' walk of this hotel. The location is the reason that a small room cost as much as it did, but it was worth it. Final Thoughts- 4 out of 5 I struggled with this rating. I had such a good time and loved Toronto so much that my positive feelings affect my rating of this hotel. I am assessing this particular hotel. The location in Toronto and the City's vibrancy are the best parts of the hotel. There are dozens of restaurants and things to do within 10 mins' walk of this hotel. The amenities are up to a global standard and the staff cleans the room every day. It is head and shoulders above anything of a comparable price in NYC, Atlantic City, or anywhere else I have been in the U.S. The only issue I had is that the room was not that nice. It was ok. Next time, I will go for the suite. …

We stay at the king Eddie whenever we come to Toronto. The rooms are beautifully restored and appointed. Also very spacious and clean. Great location for downtown outings. We come for business but stay for pleasure. Service and staff outstanding. Will return for sure.
