My feelings for this hotel are mixed: - My room had a view over the wall in front of it and there was absolutely no light in the room. Day or night, I would have to look at my watch to figure out the time of day. I might have been particularly unlucky as I was on the 4th floor, maybe the higher floors are a bit better. I was given the possibility to change but only on a few of the days and it would mean changing 3 time in total. The location is very good, in the middle of the Financial district, on Yonge st. between King and Front st. Union station (train and subway) is less than 5 minutes away and King st. subway is even less (1 1/2 block away). There are many good restaurants very close and there is even an Irish pub/bar right in front of it in case you want to go for a drink or just eat something without going too far. This can be useful considering that the hotel restaurant was closed for renovation. The frontdesk staff was not great. The girl, Carla, was very nice and friendly as for the others... not rude, but not very friendly either. On a few occasions I had some requests, which were only taken care of when I asked Carla (for instance, some shoeshine). My room was very small, there was just enough space to fit two twin beds and a small desk. I had to open the luggage on the bed. The bathroom had been renovated and looked quite good. Of course it had a problem that affects many hotels: The showerhead is fixed on the wall, meaning that tall people, like myself, have to bend down in order to take a shower. This is quite annoying. I was told that the deluxe rooms were a bit larger and also had a view (i.e. light!!!), but they cost an additional 25 CAD per night. What I liked about the hotel was that there was free wireless internet in the rooms, which worked great! I would probably stay at this hotel again, but would seriously consider getting a deluxe room as I got depressed in my "bunker". Overall, I think it is quite good value for money, considering the location. I paid about 125 CAD (incl. taxes).

The airport shuttle (15.50/person) stops at the Royal York hotel which is about 2-3 blocks away (walkable, if you don't have very heavy luggage)Website: http://www.hotelvictoria-toronto.com/ Map: Hotel Victoria

Upon arriving at the hotel, you have to make quick the job of unloading your suitcases and such, because of the fact that you are allowed a few minutes of parking in front of the hotel. The reception will give you directions to the nearest parking area, which is roughly a 15 minute walk from the hotel. This was the only inconvenience in the stay at the hotel. The room (I highly recommend the suite with two queen size beds) was very accomodating. The value for the room was well worth it. Im sure that a room of this calibre, in any other part of the city would be at least double the price. The beds were comfortable. There are plenty of restaurants in the area from which to choose from. All in all I would give this hotel two thumbs up, and will definitely stay at the hotel again, the next time I stay in Toronto.
