There is no one to answer the front desk phone between the hours of 9pm-9am. Unfortunately, we'd misplaced our car keys, and needed to reach out to the front desk to confirm their whereabouts. We had to wait until the first staff arrived at 8am the next day before we could find our keys and get on our way. Everyone was super friendly, but it's frustrating not to have anyone on phone standby for urgent needs.

The room was tidy, and we loved the overall historical character of the place. The location was really convenient too!

That the air conditioning was not turned on before we got there. And then it took us a while to find it, and figure out how it worked.

The location was excellent - we were at a conference at OISE a mere four blocks away. And, all things considered, it was reasonably priced.

Sitting comfort. Curtains not possible to close. No fridge, and breakfast places 2-3 blocks away.

Overall the hotel could have a modernisation and renovation. But nonetheless, good airco and beds!

The location is great, Metro is nearby and more then enough restaurants in walking distance

Very basic and costly for the small basic room. But it was comfortable

It smelt strongly of cigarettes. The room was dusty. My bedding didn’t appear to have been laundered from the previous guest stay as had dribbled marks on pillow cover. The bathroom didn’t seem to have been cleaned. There was toothpaste on the sink.

Very quirky character place. A very famous drinking establishment. Staff were friendly and helpful.

A little difficult to figure out where to check in. The room had an “old” smell to it probably from the carpet. When we came home at night the back door was propped open which was unsettling as I had a child with me and it being so close to the bar. The twin beds need new mattress they were terrible.

It was clean and unique.

Price of parking.

All of the employees were kind and helpful. The houseman kept me stocked with coffee and creamer and helped carry my luggage!

Small room, noisy air conditioner that was not adjustable. Ip

Quaint, reasonable priced.

The comforter cover and decorative pillow cases had some stains on them, but the white sheets were clean. We were on the top floor and had a big sky light as our window (which was nice) except there was no curtain or window cover so there was no way to make a dark sleeping space. The AC worked but would fluctuate the temperature through the night instead of keeping a steady temp throughout.

The hotel was surprisingly quiet, we rarely heard noise from the other guests. There is a frat house next door so we did have one or two occasions of late night noise from them. They were brief and not too much of a disturbance though. It definitely feels boutique and unique, with winding hallways and staircases to navigate. No elevators, so be prepared for that. Wonderful location, very close to Spadina and Bloor street activities.

We had a room in the basement so it wasn't bright! You could hear/ feel the subway but that's par for the course in this neighbourhood but it was an annoyance none the less The kettle needed replacement

We checked out around 9:30am, no front desk staff, so left and hoped they'll do it for us. Didn't like that room cards are left unattended when staff not present.

Perfect location, super bouncy beds, it was cute like staying at your grandparents. Really clean too. Parking is cheap, the pub is awesome.

Cleanliness. Literally steps to Spadina station (if using the back exit). Friendly/accommodating staff - receptionist and cleaners. It's also close to a lot of dining options. 7 Eleven Store and Metro Grocery Store nearby.
