Very close city centre, also you can find excellent food from pub
Front desk attendant was polite and sweet. For an older, rustic looking building it was clean and well kept. Our room was also very clean and had a cute little balcony. Although our stay was quite overpriced we have no complaints. Cute little building to lay your head after spending time in the city.
Last-minute check-in for a night close to where I was working. I wasn't expecting much for the low price, but the room was clean and comfortable. Was a bit noisy until about 10 pm but I slept very well (and am a light sleeper). Breakfast was basic (in a good way) spread of cereals, pastries, and fruit. Front desk people were pleasant. Would definitely go back.
Let's start with "I don't know why they would call it a boutique hotel". There is not much that's boutique-y about the place. It feels like a slightly outdated English hotel. Designation aside, this is a nice place. Nothing fancy, but very nice location very close to the Spadina subway/streetcar station. I was a little afraid, since I know the pub it is part of, but it is actually in a distinct building from the one housing the pub. Might get noisy in summer if patrons are outside, but when I visited, it was very quiet. Rooms are small but functional. Clean. Breakfast is taken in the pub first floor, check in is there too. And price is good.
Really disappointed with this place.
First off, ads say there's free parking - that's BS, there's just THREE spaces, that's it! The rest is pay parking, so expect to spend about $20 a day just to park your vehicle. No rebate off your room price, no free parking pass.
It's difficult to navigate on first visit, no sign telling you which door to enter for the check-in desk. Seriously guys would it kill you to just put up a sign on or near the door at no 16?
Receptionist was matter-of-fact, nothing more. Customer service is not a strong point here. They aren't rude, but they will make you feel like your business doesn't really matter to them.
Rooms look NOTHING like the photos so don't expect the "boutique" experience that they've branded themselves on. Actually not even the lobby looks "boutique". I'd guess you have to pay top dollar for the rooms in the photos, however they don't tell you that when you're booking, they just make it seem like all the rooms are really nice inside.
Our "Queen" bed was just two twin beds pushed together. Basically just a rip off for what you pay. Room smelled of damp, not sure if that's from the room or the AC. Decor is extremely dated, everything looks like it's been the same since the 90s, including cathode tube TV.
It's impossible to know what's complementary and what isn't since there's no list provided.
The "bar and restaurant" at the hotel turns out to be a popular local nightclub with noise going on well into the early hours of the morning, something they don't tell you in the ads. So you don't really even get to sleep. Definitely DON'T go here if you need to be fresh in the morning.
It gets one star for location, but everything else is really poor. There are way better hotels in the area, seems to me this one is just motivated by greed. This is a hotel for youth backpackers who will enjoy the nightclub, and are too naive to know they're getting ripped off.
Will take my money to the Marriott next time.
