“The historic Victorian architecture, complete with a garden, stands out in bustling downtown Toronto. Inside, expect compact but clean rooms, some with kitchenettes for longer stays. Its location near the University of Toronto and the Royal Ontario Museum is a definite plus, particularly given the price point.”

a decent stay

quiet street strong wifi small shower lacking privacy

The location was great. It was on a quiet street, quite close to the subway station. The room had a fridge which i found really useful (for storing my snacks!) and the wi-fi connection was strong. I appreciated the ease of the after-hours check-in. An envelope with my key was left in the lobby with a form to sign and return.

The shower was small. It was difficult to navigate and made me uncomfortable. I could hear the guest in the room next to mine. There was no privacy. It made it hard for me to fall asleep at NIGHT.
