Top University District Hotel Reviews

Cambridge Suites Toronto

8/10 Good

"Spacious suites, but in need of some updating."

Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto

8/10 Good

"The overall experience was good. And when asked the staff were helpful and accommodating. Biggest draw back was the “delays” entering the property. It was told as minor delays and a bottleneck. 1 car was allowed through the picket line every 15 minutes, lucky due to schedules we only waited on average about 1 hour."

Union Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"For being in such a chaotic part of downtown, I was grateful to find the hotel so clean, pleasant and well maintained. Room was small but clean and comfortable. Just a short walk from Union station, close to harbor front and 30 minute stroll to distillery district. Tim Hortons right across the street for cheap breakfast. I would definitely recommend!"

The Omni King Edward Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Omni King Edward leans heavily on its Royal association. The hotel is in pristine exultant condition with 6 fast silent elevators. Some would call it classy. It maintains an old world standard of civility. My room felt a little cramped (at this premium level) because of its original 19th Century floor plan. The room has been modernized despite the decorative corniches. Has a decent gym. Looks like a serious F&B $$ effort. My omelette breakfast was quite decent. Wifi works with VPN! Recommended for a rare experience."
