Top University District Hotel Reviews

Toronto Don Valley Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Indoor pool"

Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One unique thing about the Sheraton that my friend and I discovered was an underground pathway that leads towards different shops and leads you towards a 3 min walk to the Toronto Eaton Centre shopping mall. I liked how easy and fast it was to check in. All the staff were super friendly and the staff that would be outside handling valet were always super helpful with directions."
