Smelly room, such that they set room temperature at 17 to control smell, broken sink, very small hair dryer and old furniture.... not recommend at all.

11/03/25 The hotel has the basic services and is mainly for overnight stays. It needs maintenance and the cleaning isn't done well. Also, the breakfast is very basic; they could improve in those aspects. We stayed for 8 nights first, the room was okay, although ants were coming out of the bathroom. They told me it was due to the change of season. We returned two days later, and that last night the heating wasn't working. They had to move us to a "better" room, but we noticed they hadn't swept well. These are areas for improvement. What saved the stay was the excellent service from the manager Angie and Priscila, who helped me with my requests at all times. It's a hotel just for sleeping and going out to do activities the next day. We used it for that; we went out every day to the nearby mountains; it's 10 minutes from Grouse Mountain, 30 minutes from Cypress, and 35 minutes from Seymour. It's located right at the entrance to North Vancouver, 12 minutes from Downtown.

2 adults 1 baby. The hotel was very accomodating of our child and us. Arranging shuttle with car seat to/from airport, crib in the room amongst other things. Location was perfect, as I was in Vancouver for work. Room was beautiful (though a little dark) staff were all very friendly. Lobby restaurant was excellent.

2 nights into a 5 night stay, and confident leaving a 5 star review. Great layout (1 bedroom suite), amazing location walking distance from anything you could ever need. Yes, the AC unit is loud but it drowns out busy street noise. Staff have been excellent, helping us with every request, including helping our son when the patio door came off the tracks and he was stuck out on the balcony! 😂

A 1 star hotel for a 5 star price. Rooms are unbelievably small and in poor condition but they seem to be reasonably clean. Window had a view of concrete wall. It was quiet.

$1700 for wall views & broken lights Location was great, rooms were clean, hotel was nice and clean. The smoke alarm in my room began beeping in the late evening, so I called the front desk, they promptly had someone come up to change the battery. The next morning, the lights in the bathroom wouldn’t work. Called concierge, they said they would send someone up. I waited 30 minutes and no body came. I had an event to get to that morning so I began getting myself ready in the dark. Tried messing with the lights again and they worked. Called concierge to let them know it was working again and they told me “yeah they turned it back on, no one is coming up”. ‘Ummm, that information would have been helpful 30 minutes ago’ I think to myself. Views. My view was of some dead plants and a wall. All of these things wouldn’t have felt so bad if my stay didn’t cost nearly $1700 for 2 nights! Wouldn’t stay here again.

$250 cash deposit required because of debit card My company paid for 3 nights in advance and when I showed up, I was asked for $250 deposit (why?, I asked - you cant even bill anything to your room?). I only had my debit card as the room was prepaid, and then I was told they could not bill the debit card for the deposit. So they sent me out on the streets at 12:30 am to get $250 cash out of an ATM machine. This was immediate "3 strikes and you're out for me". I did stay here for my purchased three days but won't return. It's too bad this ruined it for me - even though the room is as small as a dog kennel, the shoddy workmanship on the floors, and there is no real TV ("Smart TV" means "no TV except what you can find to stream on our slow 802.11g wifi network being shared by 20 people"), I was prepared to say the Manager was super-nice, and my meeting was at TSK, and you couldn't find a closer location (though the Chelsea is one block further and has no such debit card nonsense). But the cash deposit thing forever poisoned me on the place.If you do stay here, try the bubble-tea place across the street - they have really good Korean food cheap.

10 minutes from airport Nice hotel close to airport, good restaurants and bar. Upscale food and pricing but cheaper alternatives nearby. Had a large meeting, 300+ and swallowed us easily. Rooms small, good comfortable beds, good shower, lots of roomy elevators so going up is easy. Airport shuttle every 30 minutes. Room Keys actually worked consistently. Only big setback is noise from jet planes flying overhead, they supply earplugs, picky sleepers would have issues with it.

100/10 Absolutely Perfect Stay Booked this hotel for a last minute spontaneous 4 day/3 night trip to Toronto -- wasn't expecting to fall in love but I did!! 10s across the board, no complaints. As a solo female traveler, safety is my #1 concern when I stay anywhere, and I felt extremely safe at this hotel! Loved having it as my home base after fun days of exploring the city. Rooms were beautiful and looked exactly like the pictures. Spacious, clean, and you could tell every bit of the design was planned with the guests in mind: light switch panels by the bedside, extra bathroom goodies, automated toilet with heated seats! Truly felt like a luxurious escape without breaking the bank. Reception and bar/cafe in the lobby were just as gorgeous too. About a 10-15 min walk to major attractions like the CN tower, Rogers Centre etc and a block away from the nearest streetcar stop. Great location if you wanna stay in the city but far enough away to not have to deal with the noise and crowds. So many amazing food spots in the area in any direction you walk in. Staff went above and beyond every day. Everyone was genuinely kind, accommodating, and never made you feel like a bother. Special thank you to Khrystyna for being so welcoming and generous at check-in! Looking back I wish I extended my trip so I could've stayed longer. Will definitely be staying here again if I am ever in the Toronto area.

When we arrived for check-in Bella who was working the front desk was very nice and professional. She had great communication and she even gave us an upgrade. We’ve stayed at the downtown location before and we’ve always have had a great experience.

Luxury Prices for a 1970s Motel if You’re on the 13th Floor & Below I booked this hotel on Expedia, for a supposedly “luxury” hotel, you should be VERY aware that not all of the hotel is luxury. When you walk into the lobby, you get the luxury experience, but if you get stuck in a room in the north tower up to the 13th floor, you get a 1970s grimy dive room. Our 2-bedroom suite, was a not really 2 bedrooms. It was a bed in the front, a bathroom (with a WINDOW) & sink/refrigerator hall, then another bed with sofa bad & coffee table. The whole room felt grimy, there was a dead bug in one of the framed pictures, and the shower seemed gross enough that my partner who will not go a day without showering, refused to use it. Then, the service was also lacking. I asked for a blanket for the sofa bed which had only a flat sheet around the mattress, and it took 2 calls and nearly an hour when I wanted to be asleep to get it. Upon giving the hotel feedback when they texted me after the stay, the only responses were “Some rooms haven’t been updated” and “Do you still need a blanket?” If you haven’t updated some rooms, you should have pictures of those rooms and price them accordingly because they are not the same value as renovated luxury rooms!

Great location in the heart of Toronto I stayed at the Sheraton Centre Toronto in June 2026 during a business trip, and it reaffirmed why it remains one of the most reliable hotels in the downtown core. With an unbeatable location, solid amenities, and a layout that works exceptionally well for business travelers, it delivers exactly what you need when your schedule is packed. The hotel’s location is one of its strongest assets. Sitting directly across from Nathan Phillips Square, it places you within walking distance of the Financial District, the Eaton Centre, Queen Street, and countless restaurants and cafĂ©s. Transit access is excellent — Queen and Osgoode subway stations are both nearby — and the PATH network runs right beneath the hotel, making it easy to move around the city regardless of weather. This is a large, high‑traffic property, but it’s run with impressive efficiency. The lobby is always active, yet never chaotic. Conference groups, business travelers, and tourists all move through smoothly. The public spaces are modern and well‑maintained, and the indoor/outdoor pool remains a standout feature — a rare perk for a downtown Toronto hotel. Experience makes a difference here, because room location matters. The Central Tower continues to be the best choice — rooms feel more updated, quieter, and better suited for business stays. My room this time offered a fantastic view of the CN Tower, a reminder that you’re right in the heart of Toronto’s skyline. Waking up to that view adds a little energy to the start of a workday. On previous stays, I’ve also had rooms overlooking the City of Toronto building, and that view is equally impressive — a sweeping, architectural perspective of Nathan Phillips Square and the surrounding civic buildings. Both sides offer memorable vantage points; it just depends on what kind of skyline you prefer. One important tip: avoid rooms located near service doors. These doors open and close frequently, and the noise can be loud enough to wake you, especially early in the morning. Once you’re away from those service areas, the rooms are significantly more peaceful. Overall, the rooms deliver what a business traveler needs: a comfortable bed, a functional workspace, strong Wi‑Fi, and views that make the stay feel distinctly Toronto.
