A Fine Break in Luxury

I had read some reviews that went on about the lack of Staff... I have no idea where those comments came from because as soon as my suitcase had touched the sidewalk in front of the Hotel there were staff wanting to take my luggage to my room. I enter the Hotel and there were more staff wanting to carry my case up the stairs - informing me the 13 stairs to the lobby can be tiresome carrying a case! Check in went quick - It was busy however there were lots of staff on hand to expedite check in. The calls to the front desk were answered prompt and professional addressing me by name as soon as they answered the call. I can say that this trip will be remembered for a long time as it more than met my expectations. Fairmont Royal York is OLD SCHOOL CHARM!!!

Nice rooms right downtown

Right across the street from the train station, this hotel is perfect for people arriving by train and using Toronto's excellent public transport (including bike rentals available in some areas). They had some of the best pillows I've experienced. Room wasn't huge, but reasonable for this era of hotel.

Take public transport, especially the subway! The subway will get you places faster than anything and is simple and safe.

Great Hotel to rest.....

It was great experience the room big enough to suit me, the equipment at the gym is good and of course the swimming pool excellent. The only thing was that when I arrive it was not one outside the hotel to give me a hand with my luggage-I guess because I arrive late at night.
