Top University District Hotel Reviews

Chelsea Hotel, Toronto

4/10 Poor

"Our room was not very clean, breakfast was completely overpriced for the quality."

Holiday Inn Toronto Downtown Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the holiday inn downtown Toronto was great. Staff was very helpful, we were immediately assisted with our over size truck for parking and help with our luggage and our room cleaner Paulette was super friendly and very helpful. Will definitely stay again."

One King West Hotel & Residence

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was so spacious and we had a view of the CN Tower which was really nice. Overall the experience was 4.5/5 stars however we did find someone’s hair all over the shower walls which was super gross. The bathroom was clean but I’m assuming whoever cleaned it maybe forgot to remove the hair on the wall. Other than that the staff and hotel were extremely pleasant and I would definitely stay there again!"

Hotel Riu Plaza Toronto

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a great stay at this hotel! Everything was incredibly clean from the moment we arrived, and the whole place smelled fresh and amazing the entire time. The buffet was delicious with lots of great options, and the staff made the experience even better, everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. You can really tell they care about their guests. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!"
