"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect—just a short walk to Harbourfront, the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and many great restaurants and cafés in downtown Toronto. The room was clean, modern, and well maintained, and the furniture and bed were very comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Toronto."

Pod 51

10/10 Excellent

"Simple, budget-friendly, clean, and convenient. Only 4 min walk from a subway station (line E). Located in a nice area. Many good restaurants and bars around. The Greenacre park is across the street with beautiful waterfalls and a cozy cafe. Room is very small, basic, but quiet, comfortable, and functional. I would stay again."

Pod Times Square

"Everything was great. Nothing bad to say about the stay."

ROW NYC

10/10 Excellent

"The standard rooms are small but I asked for an upgrade which they honoured on our 2nd day, it was a stress-free transfer over. The room was clean but the decor wasn’t our taste and a little tired. The aircon is huge and very noisy but did its job of cooling the room. The staff were very helpful, especially with organising the room change, couldn’t fault them."
