Toronto Hotels with Bars

I was initially apprehensive about staying in an ”old” hotel, but my worries came to rest. It was similar to a cottage theme with very clean rooms and adequate amentities. Staff were always very friendly, greeting us everytime we leave and return to the hotel, and responds promptly to our housekeeping requests. 10 minutes from the hotel, there is a park with a calming stream, a great place to rest and rewind from the busy city life. Nearest train station is just 5 minutes walk away, and a 30-45 minutes car ride to downtown. Some downsides though, there are no nearby restaurants besides the one in the hotel, and no nearby supermarkets. Utensils were not provided in the room so be prepared to bring your own set. Hotel lifts seem a bit worn out but had not broken down during my stay. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay given the calm surrounding vibes and amazing service. I would consider returning in the future

Great: 1. Unbeatable location. That stretch of Bloor St W has restaurants, coffee shops, used bookstores (my favorite!), and more. Subway station, streetcars, and a Bike Share Toronto hub just around the corner. Christie Pits park nearby. Incredibly walkable. 2. Clean room and useful amenities. Love that slippers were available from the amenities closet. (Slippers seem to be common in hotels in Asia, so I was delighted to find them here.) 2. Responsive customer service. My room had a small issue (intermittent loud buzzing sound of mysterious origin in the night). When I raised this with the Nomas WhatsApp number, Umesh was responsive and offered to move me into a different room. Thankfully the sound eventually vanished after a couple nights! I have no opinion on: 1. Bellis. I didn't eat at the Bellis bar (mainly because I wanted to check out the other offerings nearby). 2. Lockers. I didn't try the lockers, but they looked useful. I saw someone describe this hotel along the lines of ”it's a bar with hallways and rooms.” Isn't that what all hotels are, ultimately? Could be better: 1. My room was near the washrooms for the bar. At night, shrieky bar customers would congregate near the washrooms to chat. Had to get up to shut the soundproofing hallway door a couple of times. Not too big of a deal because the soundproofing is effective. I'd definitely stay here again!

The hotel's location is great, just a 5-minute drive from Union Station, which made check-in super convenient. The breakfast was excellent and very filling. I specifically booked a lake-view room this time, but next time I'd like to try a room facing a different direction. The service was also fantastic. After checking out, we went to Niagara Falls and were able to store our luggage at the hotel for a full 24 hours, completely free of charge. The bellman was incredibly helpful and even assisted us with our oversized bags.

The restaurant was delicious, and the hospitality was excellent. The guest rooms were also stylish and lovely.

This is my 2nd time staying in the resort. Overall js great except we were caught in the middle of the conflict between the security and management. Security staff has been on strike since July and they blocked off all the entrance and only allowed one car to go in every 15 minutes. It was confusing as there is no sign, no communication and we waited on the line for almost 2 hours just to get into the hotel. It is very frustrating and exhausting, which left bad taste on the weekend getaway.

Stayed here recently and overall had a decent experience. The AC worked really well, which made the stay comfortable. The room itself was a bit on the small side even though it had a king-size bed, so there wasn’t much extra space to move around. I was a little disappointed that the room didn’t include slippers or a kettle, which I honestly expected. I did ask reception for hot water on one of the days though, and they were kind enough to provide me with a small cup, so service was appreciated. Breakfast was okay with a decent variety and a good range overall, although it was almost the same the next day and the fruit selection was slightly less impressive. Still, it was satisfactory for a short stay but needed a few improvements.

The location and hotel itself is great . However , Very disappointing experience at Fairmont Royal York. I booked a Luxury Double Room for Four and informed the hotel in advance that we would arrive late. The hotel explicitly confirmed in writing: “your room will be held for your arrival.” We arrived around 11 PM after a long international journey, only to be told the hotel was oversold and our reserved room was unavailable. We were downgraded to a Standard Double Room. The replacement room had a strong paint odor and a visibly peeling bathroom ceiling. When we raised our concerns, we were told the hotel was sold out and could not change the room. This is not about expecting an upgrade. It is about a confirmed reservation not being honored. Extremely disappointing.

Fantastic stay so close to downtown the pathway and great location overall. I checked in around 4pm and the staff were incredibly welcoming and offered free toiletries and a room upgrade on arrival to enhance my stay. I had breakfast included which was in the main dining hall at reception which was 10/10 the options were amazing and the vibe was very nice and friendly. The room itself was insane - incredible views day and night massive room area per sq m and a perfect tv with YouTube Apple TV all the streaming services etc would’ve been tempted to stay in if it was so close to everything downtown. I visited during FIFA World Cup and pride weekend and it was great to see the hype enforcing good security checking guests coming in and out of entrances and lifts I felt very safe here. Would recommend and stay here again! Thank you to the staff

The service, amenities, and dining all meet a certain standard. It only takes about 25 minutes to drive from the airport to the hotel, yet the hotel is located in the city center. I stayed in room 408 and initially thought it might be noisy being on a lower floor, but it turned out to be quite good. A special shout-out goes to Ms. Monira from housekeeping; whenever I returned, she had already quietly tidied and cleaned the room perfectly. What's even more impressive is that she would arrange my belongings according to my habits, which is incredibly thoughtful and personalized. She is a very responsible and meticulous employee. I will definitely choose Holiday Inn Toronto Downtown Centre by IHG again next time I visit my daughter in Toronto.

The rooms are new and the location is convenient. The shuttle bus is fast and efficient, but since it also picks up guests from the Hyatt, it often gets too crowded and there aren't enough seats. The breakfast is better than Holiday Inn, but it can't compare to Crowne Plaza in China. The front desk staff are very friendly.
