Top Southern Ontario Hotel Reviews

Toronto Don Valley Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Everything"

Chelsea Hotel, Toronto

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great time booking with Expedia, and the hotel was amazing with free breakfast."

One King West Hotel & Residence

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed on the 36th floor with expansive views of Downtown Toronto for our ten year wedding anniversary. Our suite was clean, spacious, comfortable and functional with the in-suite laundry and full kitchen. The front desk girls were the best! They really made our terrible 24 hour plus traveling experience warm & welcoming with the bath robes and dental supplies they left in our room before we arrived. The elevators do seem a little slow so that should be looked into but overall our stay was a 10/10. We will definitely be back!"

Monte Carlo Inn & Suites Downtown Markham

"Room was clean, staff helpful, location good. For an additional 8.00 you can get eggs and breakfast meat in addition to the warm continental breakfast."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Toronto Downtown

"Hotel was great! Would stay here again!"

Canopy By Hilton Toronto Yorkville

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very positive experience at this hotel. The property is modern, well maintained, and the rooms are new, clean, functional, and equipped with great technology. Staying in the room was genuinely a pleasure, as everything was thoughtfully designed and very comfortable. The only downside, in my opinion, was the gym. It was a bit small and offered a limited selection of equipment. Given the overall quality of the hotel, I was expecting a larger and better-equipped fitness facility. The hotel also features a beautiful pool, although I didn't have the opportunity to try it during my stay. Overall, I had an excellent experience and would definitely recommend this hotel to others."
