We stayed in the Strathcona last September (2007). It definately is a basic hotel, but the staff are great, the rooms are clean and it is in an ideal location for anyone wanting to explore Toronto. I would definately stay there again. One tip is to avoid the breakfast and hop over the road to Tim Hortons and pick up... more

I really can not fault the Strathcona hotel! The location is amazing, right in the heart of everything, with fantastic transport links to anywhere you may want to visit - the train station is literally at the end of the road. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and incredibly clean. The rooms are made up promptly and with thought every... more

My husband and I have a cottage about 90 minutes east of Toronto, so we wanted to find accommodations for overnights in Toronto. We first chose the Strathcona because it was affordable and within walking distance of the train station. Although the rooms are small, we have always encountered friendly service and clean facilities. We think the dining room is... more

So to preface this review: yes the hotel was cheap, and yes the location is great. That being said, we were three men booking a room with 2 beds and a cot. It was like this was the first time this request has ever been made, because we had to be moved twice thanks to the tiny, tiny, little rooms.... more

If I could give a zero I would. This was the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. Overpriced. Tiny tiny tiny and rude staff. The rooms were dirty and the staff was not so nice. Honestly -- worst use of money EVER. I'm not usually offended so easily, but honestly, this was so below standards it was terrible. more

If your looking for a nice hotel for under $100, the Strathcona is a very good choice. The location in downtown Toronto is perfect. Close to all attractions and not to far from many others. The hotel is very clean and gives you a good comfortable feeling. Very friendly and helpful staff. I will go back for sure my next... more

I only stayed for one night and have no complaints about the location, room or hotel facilities in general. Everything was clean comfortable and met my needs. But surly doesnt begin to describe the front desk staff I encountered. The man who checked me in was curt dismissive and unhelpful. Checkout next morning was similar. I had just endured a... more

My sister and I have stayed at the Strathcona twice and plan to visit Toronto in March and May and have made arrangements to stay there once again. Although the room was small, it was very clean and comfortable. Our TV was not up on the ceiling, which was nice, hope this hasn't changed. I cannot comment on any other... more

My daughter and I, her best friend and her mom, stayed at the Strathcona when we went to T.O to see the Spice Girls. We arrived via train and were ever so pleased with the close proximity of the hotel to the train station, numerous restaurants and to the Air Canada Centre as well! We found the front desk to... more
