A tight spot for lunch, fills up quickly and can be quite loud. The food was good (winterlicious) but not out of this world.

7 ladies celebrating birthday of a cousin. Great choice for a restaurant to celebrate. We did the tasting menu which was excellent. Just the right amount of food properly phased serving. Brian our server is attentive and funny. Loved the live music we got to sing along with the performer.

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.

15 years ago this was a nice, gentlemans and lady hangout. Thick carpets, big chairs, older experienced waiters, great food. Today it's run by snarky millenial managers, belligerent waitresses, crowded with loud drugged up rich punks and the food is mediocre at best. Did Drake buy them out? Definitely not worth the hundreds of bucks you'll drop for a dinner here. $23+tax+tip for a gin and soda. Oysters are sub par for sure. Too bad, this used to be a classic. Not anymore. Don't get trapped by the fancy entrance. Avoid this place. Coming from a Toronto steakhouse connoisseur.

Ok but not great Spent a couple of nights here recently. Not bad but not great. Breakfast was pretty disappointing. The rooms are small but clean. The hall needed attention. Bed was comfortable. Reasonably quiet for a corner room. Friendly staff.

10/10 It was such a beautiful great hotel, the good was amazing. Have the coconut cream cake for sure it’s so so delicious. The staff was so sweet! I had zero problems! Their rooftop is so cool and loungey. There was a dj playing great music. Overall it was for sure a 10/10

3/5 - Would be a 4 if it wasn't so LOUD Location: Convenient to downtown/financial district. Fair amount of walking to visit any tourist or shopping spots. I stayed there for a convention, which was an easy 10-15 min walk. Union station with UP Express is similarly close for an easy ride to/from the airport. Bedroom: Modern & clean. Outlets are mostly at the desk and one side of the bed. Lots of storage. Comfy bed. But, noise from the walk signal or revving cars and unending sirens and weekend protests are very loud on the 9th floor and disrupted relaxation/sleep. The common areas of the hotel are insulated from street noise and suggest the noise could be mitigated. Bathroom: Spacious and plenty of marble. The marble lends itself to noise above you if someone walks around early morning with heels. The toiletries brand are poor quality. The shampoo especially leaves your hair feeling oily. Shower: The shower/tub room had no issues draining. The tub could be a bit bigger. Pros: Convenient location. Pretty room. Cons: Service was inconsistent & sometimes inattentive. Service during afternoon tea was especially slow. Breakfast was similar. But the worst part was the noise. The lounge was loud from speakers that need to be turned down a bit. And the room was filled with echoing cars, sirens, and protests. Even when the streets are quiet in the early morning, you here upstairs guests clicking around the marble floor with their heels.

Got the winterlicious for the first try. Everything was very well cooked. It’s above expectations for a set meal. For the place, it was really busy even on weekdays, so a bit noisy. They also have a lot of cost effective menu selections. Will return for other choices for sure.

Lydia was our server. Efficient and friendly. Busy night for a Tuesday. Cactus Club is a well oiled service machine. Rave music is not for everyone and tables close together. Frozen Sangria was excellent. Bellini good but the size has shrunk over the years.

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 cafés. 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.

Good, but could’ve been better The hotel staff was friendly, which is always a plus. I appreciated the complimentary water provided in a clear glass bottle in the room. One downside was the TV setup. Guests are required to cast content from their phones, and for a hotel positioned as luxurious, I expected a Smart TV with built-in streaming apps available for use. I was also disappointed that the room did not include bar soap or a loofah. The surrounding area felt fairly quiet during the week, with limited activity nearby. Additionally, the hotel was not as close to Downtown Toronto as I had hoped, making it a bit less convenient for exploring the city.
