$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.

0/10 would not recommend Dirty dingy, dated and disgusting. The bed was a rock.If you love yourself you will not stay here. The only redeeming factor about this hotel is that it has two pools are they clean? Who knows? The rooms were very dirty with cigarette burns and carpet from the 80s.

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.

Terrifying and unprofessional - don’t visit if you’re a Business Executive Booked 4 rooms, pre-paid under my name. St Regis Check-in refused to have a top customers check in even after I confirmed within Agoda immediately, even after I complied send out of the airplane a email confirmation… named all my customers, still refused , because I used another email address. Imagine, the booking ID is there, the booking confirmation is there and email confirmation and St Regis management refuses my customers to check-in. This is the most embarrassing Hotel and situation. I can only ask and warn you of this completely incapable and incompetent Management Team at the St Regis. Once and never again. No apology can make up for this Desaster.

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.
