    One thing that could be improved is definitely the wifi connection, it was quite slow and kept disconnecting. Also, although the pool was as per pictures, there was no sun bed / chair to relax on.

    - Great location right in front of the ROM and 2 mins walk from St George metro station - Spacious, silent, clean and modern rooms - Beautiful entrance

    Nothing. It would be great if they had a laundry facility where you can wash your own clothes (we travel with kids and that comes in handy) but that would just be an extra benefit.

    Staff were friendly, thoughtful and very competent. Breakfast was delicious. Would stay there again if visiting Toronto.

    The small swimming pool could be a nice place to relax after half a day of rain if there weren‘t the swimming lessons for kids… It’s basically unusable in the afternoon. What bugged us most was the hotel‘s interpretation of „breakfast included“. The breakfast is not included, what is included - and only disclosed upon arrival - is a 30$ voucher per person for á la carte breakfast. Conveniently enough, there is exactly one breakfast on the menu, the continental, which costs 30$ with a coffee and a juice included. Whatever else you order, you are most definitely exceeding the 30$ because no drinks are included and you are charged for every single cup of watery filter coffee. This should be disclosed in the booking process so guests can make an informed decision.

    Spacious, beautifully furnished room with almost nothing to complain about but the weird „smart“ fridge and accessory’s shelf (a sensor basically records if you take something and if you don’t put it back within a few seconds, you are automatically charged). Very nice restaurant, extremely friendly staff. Nicely situated in one of the most beautiful quarters of the city with a five minute walk to the subway and about 45 walking minutes away from the lake.

    We had a disappointing experience with a room service. My teenage child made an order. One hour later I had to call myself to remind them about the order. They explained that it was some kind of communication mistake with the reception desk and the order will be delivered soon. And it was. The guy who brought it apologized again and said that he added a complimentary bottle of Evian water to the order. Later when we checked the bill we saw that water bottle was INCLUDED in the bill!

    Location was perfect for us. The restaurant served good breakfast. All the personnel were nice and helpful. Our room was clean. We had a wonderful stay as a family.

    Valet parking is very convenient but you should add ca 10 minut waiting time for your car. Have not checked the pool area so have no opinion on this.

    I liked everything in the hotel. The room was spacious, same as bathroom, it was clean, beds were comfortable, staff was very kind and helpful, wifi was working well. The breakfast was very good too, also restaurant / bar in the evening.
