Excellent value for safe, clean, spartan summer accommodation in an expensive city. Wonderful breakfast buffet

Reviewed Jun 4, 2023via mobile
This is a University of Toronto student residence (dorm) that’s operated as a hotel in the summer. It was an old Holiday Inn.

Location, behind the City Hall, on the edge of Chinatown and near subway and streetcars, couldn’t be more walkable and convenient.

Rooms are spartan, all with private bath. No television or phone. No housekeeping except for long stays.

Very helpful front desk and reception. Security guard before key-card elevators. Excellent WiFi.

No facilities for safekeeping passports and other valuables.

Excellent buffet breakfast included in the room rate.
Date of stay: June 2023
Room Tip: Noisy but very effective HVAC in your room No facilities for safekeeping, but desk assured me...
Trip type: Travelled on business

We needed a place to stay while in Toronto on Saturday night. We just needed a place to sleep. Found 89 Chestnut, the room was clean and provided a great night sleep. This place was reasonable priced and fit the bill. I will definitely stay here again.

We made a quick three day trip to Toronto and only needed a place to lay our heads. Room was clean. Air conditioning worked. Quiet sleeping conditions. Breakfast was good and the location allowed us to walk everywhere we needed in less than 2 km. Staff were friendly and a very secure building.

Stayed here for 3 days rooms are disgusting, mucky, curtains don’t close. All you hear all night is the lift is the lift going up and down. My husband and I went down to breakfast to grab a snack to eat in the room while we got ready for a day trip to Niagara Falls and l was not allowed to leave the dining area and come to my room you was only allowed breakfast if you sat in the dining room full of shouting students. Staff extremely rude!! AVOID!!

Room tip: Don’t use this place

This so-called hotel is literally an old dormitory. The rooms have no refrigerators, no TVs, not even a trashcan. The staff was unfriendly and inattentive at checking. There is no coffee available unless you go in to have breakfast. Unfortunately I would say this is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

The rooms themselves are very basic. Pretty much just a bed and a bathroom, no amenities such as TVs or anything like that. The location was great, and walking distance to most of the things to do in Toronto. If you are not looking to spend a lot of time in the room, and just looking so somewhere to sleep and leave your things then this is all you need, but definitely no frills. In saying that, the breakfast was fantastic, probably the best of our trip!
