2-Star Hotels in Toronto

The room is on the upper floor of a bar. The location is good. The surrounding area is bustling. Going to the CN Tower to walk. The disadvantage is that it is noisy at night. The room is not big.

I stayed with Samesun in Toronto in Mars 2023. They have a 24 h open reception. The check in went smoothly, the rooms, bathrooms and showers were clean! You have a charger and a small lamp by your bed and curtains to separate yourself from the other’s. The best thing about the stay was the free of charge breakfast in the morning! Coffee, bagels, waffles, cereal, fruit etc.. so nice.

Always enjoy our stay at this hotel. Clean rooms, large free breakfast with lots of options. Ample free parking. Coffee/tea/hot chocolate in the lobby 24/7. Snacks and drinks on each floor. Comfy bed, big shower, couch .. everything is nice. Only wish the tv had a tv guide channel so you could see what shows are playing rather than skipping through all the channels!

There is no business around the hotel, but it is very close to IKEA and COSTCO. Of course, it only takes a few minutes by car. It is also more convenient to get to the airport. It takes about 20 minutes by car (without 407). The hotel lobby is being renovated. The rooms are not affected. The rooms on the first floor have two front and rear doors. The back door is the place to park. The bed in the room is the kind of soft bed, not very adaptable, the breakfast is the very simple American buffet breakfast, bread and bacon, simple, but full.

I don't even know where to start. Already, the hostel is quite far from the center and not easy to find because very badly indicated. Then, they clearly do not know how to manage their reservation, because we had reserved beds in 4 female rooms to have only one, and find ourselves sleeping in a 10-bed dormitory with 8 more or less old men. And we were clearly not the only ones as every person that came in seemed to have a problem. The dormitory is very badly laid out, absolutely no privacy and no storage apart from the very small lockers where you will need your own padlock. The metal bunk beds move a lot, there is no shutter and there are just curtains that half cover the windows. Then cleanliness. Cleaning is not done every day, or even every 3 days. The kitchen is also not very clean, insects were crawling on the counter. The staff is friendly but not competent at all. There's Netflix and a few games. Be careful if you are allergic to cats, there are two that roam the hostel.

When I booked this it clearly said POOL There was no pool needs to be taken off the website. Room was clean, not enough towels for 4 people. There were only 2. I did not see a problem with breakfast, it was pretty much hot breaky. Sat morning there were home fries, scrambled eggs, bacon ( which needed to be cooked more so I didn't eat it ) There is a machine to make your own waffles, bread for toast and I believe hot dogs ? Muffins ( They were blueberry that is why they looked the way they did, they were not moldy ) juice, coffee, tea. There was no fresh fruit which was disappointing. 1st night wedding was awakened at 2am by the wedding party good thing they went to their rooms and settled down. 2nd night another wedding was at their venue never heard a peep. When we did come back on the Sat around 7 our room keys didn't work. Person at the front desk was apologetic and gave us new ones. Also asked for decafe and he delivered 4 pkgs to our room since there was none at breaky.

Friendly staff at front desk, smooth check-in. There’s everything you need in the sparkly clean room even though i stayed the smallest room. Laundry is available. Location is excellent. There is a 24-hour convenience store cross the main street. The neighborhood is lovely. Really enjoyed the stay. Will consider comeback next time.

Had the misfortune of booking this trash online. On reaching the hotel at 10 in the night, the receptionist told me that the booking was for 1 person in Queen room, while I had booked for 2 people. On contacting booking.com, as usual their response was delayed. On contacting his colleague(?), the guy let us go to the room without charging us. And yes, made us pay the entire amount for 8 days in advance. The guy took us to the 3rd floor on stairs (no elevators and creaky wood floor). On reaching the room, the room smelled as if a pesticide had been sprayed into the room. Changed the room, to the 2nd floor, where to my utter shock found that the music downstairs was too loud. It was then I discovered, that the hotel was above a strip CLUB... With a heavy heart, took the room feeling that it was better than the smelly rooms on 3rd floor. However, when the music didn't stop at 3 am, my old mother got agitated. Adding to it, the bed was not just small but rickety and maybe full of bugs as well. Tired and frustrated,she went to the reception, where a new guy gave us again 3 options on 3rd floor, each one more smellier than the previous. Utterly frustrated, we asked him if there was any other bigger room, which we went to and found was not smelling. Without any options, had to cough out 230CAD more and take the room. Just feel so cheated now, given that could have got better hotels at overall 118 CAD, a night. Some other gems about the hotel: 1. There is no phone in room to call reception. You have to go the reception, every time for every minor thing. 2. House cleaning happens once a week, if you are taking a room for a week+. ***! Have to ask for towel change and toiletries. 3. Semi-clad girls are in a passage adjacent to hotel lobby and the music is super loud. 4. The adjacent area is damn scary, and outside the hotel you end up meeting a lot of addicts, asking you scarily for 'change'. 5. The walls are so thin, that if TV is on in an adjacent room, so you end up hearing the entire thing. For some wierd reason, had a loud talker in the adjacent room, who kept TV on for the entire night. To give some credit, yes the location is near to major attractions downtown and the receptionists were helpful. But the hotel is a trash-bag, to be avoided at all costs!

I got to the hotel super early after 9am because I missed my flight to head back home. I already know the 3pm policy so I went to the front desk. I was already super tired and hungry and was met by Satvik. I explained my dilemma and asked if I could rest my luggage down because I know I’m not able to check it now. He was so sympathetic to my situation smiled and said he had a room available now that I could check in. I was in shocked and super happy. He also thanked me for being a diamond member and gave me a snack package that I hadn’t had to ask for. I’ve stayed at 3 other hiltons in Toronto and not one of them offered me my snack package or acknowledged my status. Also I’ve met the lady at housekeeping on the floor and she was very friendly. I didn’t get her name, I wish I did. My room was very clean, fresh linen and towels. Also the other staff at front desk assisted me on where I can walk for food. Seeing that I already turned my car in. Also I received a wake up call for my shuttle bus to leave that next morning. Even though it was only one night, I’ve never felt so much appreciated. Please keep up the good work and to Satvik thank you so much!! When I return back to Toronto I will definitely stay here again! Thank you!!

I loved my stay here. It is a low-cost place in a local neighbourhood, and that’s what I was looking for. My room was clean and efficient. It is a bit weird in that there is no public signage and you have to read signs on the doors to find your way to check-in. Once there, the people who run the place are lovely. There is no elevator so I had help carrying my bag up the stairs to the second floor. Best to bring your own toiletries, but they have small packets of shampoo etc it you want them. I loved the fact that there were some food items left in the fridge - and I left some behind. Much more like a short stay in an apartment than a hotel. Great local restaurants and easy transit. I was attending a downtown conference and loved my place a $17 Uber away from the convention centre.
