The Strathcona Hotel

The Strathcona Hotel Toronto is very conveinent for downtown Toronto the bus from the Airport stoped just around the corner,and also for the Union train station. is at the end of the street. The staff were helpful and when we had a problem with the bathroom were happy to move us.

The hotel is located close to the train station and only a few minutes (10-15) walk from the main shopping area in one direction and the CN Tower in the other. Everything was within walking distance from the hotel and the hop-on-off bus stopped a few metres from the hotel. Plenty of resturants in the local theatre district and around. The rooms where small but perfect for us as we were out site seeing most of the day, so only really there to sleep. But comfty beds and a lovely shower. Air con was a bit nosey, but soon got used to that. I would consider staying there again.

This was our second time and will stay there again. We come to Toronto by train and it is a convenient walk for us even with luggage.

Nice stay, but you shouldn't expect much in the way of amenities. Basically, I think this place would be nice for the budget traveler (though I didn't know this when I booked the room). No one to handle your baggage when you arrive, and the parking they recommend is two blocks away (though at $18 a day to park was cheaper compared to other hotels). So, you need to unload your car, take bags to your room, then park your car. Small queen room - clean. Internet was only $20 total for four nights (again, much cheaper than other hotels in Toronto (paid $16 for one night at Sutton Place - ridiculous). Gym next door but $10 to use it. Concierge was helpful and all the staff were nice. Overall, I would recommend - the price was fair, but you just won't get all the services you might expect at other more expensive hotels.

We stayed over for one night and upon arrival the check in desk offered us a later check out time without us even asking. The rooms were a little small but honestly they were very clean and very modern looking. I would completely recommend this hotel if you're looking for something in an excellent location and don't intend to spend too much time in the room. I would go back without hesitation.

A fantastically placed hotel within a short walking distance to the main sights.

it was good over all they should offer atleast free wiifii i paid extra 2 get the service----all major hotels and bussiness have this service for free

everything was fine with the hotel except the fact that we had to pay for local phone calls, which was not advised to me at the time of check-in. it wasnt just local calls but also 1-800 numbers that i called for airline verification. Furthermore, if i read correctly there was supposed to be a shuttle service that was provided to and from the airport. never when determining which hotel i was going to stay in was i advised that it was going to cost $55 one-way trip for this service. this was another inconvenience that, if known ahead of time, could have caused me to find a hotel that was either closer to the airport or actually had a free shuttle service. the business center required you to pay to use the internet, this also was something that i wish was advised to me before i paid for my reservations. the hotel room was of a decent size for two people and was very clean and cozy. my only problem with the room was that although it was newly renovated the only view i got outside my window was the site of another window within the same hotel. the hallways were I shaped and therefore i was the one who lucked out of gettinng to see the city. i had to make sure to keep my blinds closed so that the people across, above, or down below couldnt see in (it was that close). the hotel, itself, was well located in the city so that one would be able to either walk a few miles to destination or walk to the next block to Union Station, where the subway was located. it took about five to ten minutes to get to a desired subway destination and from there and you could walk a few blocks to an attraction or store. knowing what i know now about the location and the hotel i wouldn't mind staying again. this is because i now know what to expect when i get there. i know what that everything i do in this hotel will cost me money. whether it be sleeping after i pay for the room or using the phone to get a cab to get away from the hotel, it all cost more money.

bathroom could be bigger i might get exec room next time

Great price for the location.
