This hotel is an excellent find. The hotel iabove a Chinese shopping mall so some rooms look out onto this but it closes early and thick net curtains are in the rooms. The rooms are very new and kept clean. The air con is powerful enough for these large rooms and the beds very comfortable. The location is very near to a tram stop that runs along Spadina Ave. from one metro station to Union station at the other end crossing numerous other bus and tram stops. Even without the public transit most of downtoen Toronto is an easy walk away.

Superb value for the quality and location.

This is an affordable hotel in a great location. I walked all over Toronto from this location. Not a great hotel if you plan on spending time in the room (especially since my drapes opened to the inside mall and I didn't want people looking up at me!). But as a "home base", it is wonderful. Friendly counter staff, nice breakfast (cereal, etc), and easy access to all parts of Toronto. Street cars right outside, plus taxi's if needed. As a single woman, I was very comfortable at the hotel and walking (at 6:30 a.m.) to my conference hotel and back at night. As with any city, I did not walk alone after dark, but that had nothing to do with the hotel.

Simply brilliant. Great value for money, good location, brand new hotel with very clean large rooms. Free internet a good breakfast, cable TV and even an on-site laundry. We would highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay in downtown Toronto

This is a great value-for-money hotel in downtown toronto.

We had room 8413 (a king bed suite) which is huge! Super king size bed, large sofa with 2 x armchairs, dining table and chairs, flatscreen TV, fridge, microwave and desk. It was at least twice the size of any other room we had on this trip, for $160 per night - at a time when the average rate for a standard room everywhere else was $200+ due to conferences.

The hotel is new, so everything is still new and shiny, and kept spotlessly clean (especially the breakfast area). We had to pay a refundable deposit in case we smoked or ruined anything (it's all no smoking), which should help to keep it new a bit longer!

We also had a view of the CN Tower (an advantage for some but not others).

The location is good, a short walk to the bars and cafe's on Queen Street, and 10 mins walk to the entertainment district. We visited most of downtown and didn't use public transport once (although we were lucky as the weather was goegeous).

Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a cheap hotel downtown.
