It was ok.... I expected better

I expected a lot more from the hotel considering there are better reviews. If you just want a room in downtown Toronto, next to the CN tour, and you don't care for the type of room they offer and want something cheap, then this is the place for you. If you want something decent enough to relax and have your "space", then pay the extra 20-30$ and go somewhere better.

Good location, reasonable price

I was in Toronto for a conference at the convention center. The Strathcona was a reasonably priced alternative to other hotels in the area, and just as convenient. The rooms were small but clean and nicely done. I didn't spend much time in the room, but it was a comfortable and convenient stay.

good value accommodation, great location

Great base for exploring the city. All main attractions within walking distance-including CN tower, Rogers Centre, Steam Whistle Brewery, Theatres and some museums. Also near Union Station and subway stop for exploring further afield. Friendly and helpful staff Clean rooms - although a bit on the small side - but ok if like us you only want to sleep there. Lifts could be unreliable - a problem if you were on the 10th floor. Overall good value for money - a superb trip!

use the GO train on a weekend to get to Niagara Falls - way cheaper than an organised tour.

Great location, otherwise just okay

We were just in Toronto for the weekend and it was our first time there, so we wanted to see a lot of the sites and do some shopping. This hotel was the perfect location for that, it is just a few very short blocks away from just about everything. Checking in went very quickly and the room was very clean, although small. This didn't bother us much, because we didn't need a lot of space and didn't spend much time there anyway. The worst thing about the room was the bed - it was hard as a rock! Also, when people were talking in the hallways you could hear them in the room. This only happened two or three times and not while we were trying to sleep, but was still annoying. Also, the restaurant attached to the hotel was not open the entire weekend (although the pub downstairs was), this might have been nice for breakfast. The hotel was nice enough, but I think next time I would spend a little more and try something else in the same neighborhood.

There are a lot of restaurants along King Street in the entertainment district (take a left out of the hotel and a left on King), we went to one in particular called Urban that was absolutely fantastic!
