Top University District Hotel Reviews

Hilton Toronto

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto

8/10 Good

"Nice clean place with lots of things to do. However, with the labour problems there was over an hour wait to get into the parking lot since they were letting in only 1 car every 15 minutes. We ended up parking in a shopping center parking lot and walking over to the resort with all our luggage! Very inconvenient and nothing done by the hotel to compensate guests. No mention of the labour problems when booking."

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."
