Housekeeping could be better, our room was cleaned really late in the day

Great location and amazing food at the café

Would’ve like ice machine in both areas of the hotel instead of having to maneuver to the other side of the hotel.

We were in town for a show at the Drake (Cardinal Black) and it was convenient to stay there as well. Crash pad was perfect for two people. Our second floor room was fairly quiet considering there was another show going on later.

Room layout was a little weird

Great location

The hotel has a great vibe. When we arrived, there was a drag lunch taking place in the cafe between the two main buildings of the hotel. The staff were super helpful, moved us to make sure we wouldn't be disturbed by noise (without us needing to ask). The room was quaint, with lots of amenities. Would absolutely visit again.

We weren't sure about the yellow lamp on the desk that had no cable, or the off-kilter flower on the top shelf. Also a place to hang clothes would be good. Welcome note got my name wrong and was super generic which feels neither cool nor welcoming - but the experience after that was fabulous

The attention to detail oin the room was very much appreciated. We loved the robes and the bathroom, the bed was fantastic, I loved the color scheme, the room was a great size and I love the neighbourhood Staff were accessible and friendly We miss the Drake!

noisy because of a disco downstairs and noise from the terrace outside. music downstairs is the most annoying

nice bohème hotel

room fridge + microwave is always a must…tv not so much stepping down into the shower is an accident waiting to happen

Excellent staff Great location especially with available parking Charming room

A lot of space could not be used as rented out for private events but sad if you pay the highest price

Funky queer bingo

The bathroom door squeaked so it made it really hard to sleep. Also did not get clean towels or fresh water when the room was cleaned

The lighting in the bathroom was not bright enough. We were never able to enjoy our complimentary drink tickets at the lobby bar, say for an after dinner drink, as it was closed.

The 3rd floor quiet was definitely worth the $25 upgrade. Julia at the Front desk was THE BEST front desk / Reception personnel I have ever encountered. he is a huge asset to this hotel. MVP !!!

It's confusing how guests access or book the on site restaurants and there is extremely loud music being played early in the morning which can be heard from some rooms which wasn't ideal.

Room style, all the amenities, room size and comfort, bathroom size.

Would have liked a kettle in the room as I don't drink alcohol. Staff accidentally charged me again for the room when I checked in even though I had prepaid on booking.com. This was resolved very quickly though by another member if staff and refund came through promptly.

Room was decorated really well and bed was comfortable. Loved all the toiletries.

I had a room that faced the street, which was at night quite busy as the hotel is located in a street with a lot of pubs, restaurants, shops (very nice atmosphere though). On the other side of the street there is a club/restaurant, which was open during my stay of 5 nights twice until 5 a.m., with music, people chatting outside etc. Was tough to find sleep during those nights there. I also had the feeling that the walls in the hotel could have been a little thicker. Since the hotel is in a slightly older building, there is no elevator, but a nice employee helped me with my suitcase. It wasn't easy to find a hotel in Toronto in first place. Considering the location and the art vibe of the hotel, I still find it a good choice, but am not sure if 190 bucks a night are worth it. Last but not least (this is not a criticism, just an annotation): I found the structure of the hotel a little confusing because the reception of the hotel was located in a different part of the building. To get to my room I had to pass the restaurant of the hotel (or alternatively outside on the street). At "my house entrance", there was yet another reception - which was the one for the restaurant. I think it happens frequently that guests turn to the restaurant reception when they have a problem. The staff there tells you to turn to the other reception instead.

I found the furnishings of the room and the hotel very appealing, very artsy. Nice thing also with the tablet that the hotel provides in the room. The Drake Hotel is located not far from Toronto Downtown, so you could reach many of the places worth seeing even on foot within 30 min.

The restaurant turns into a club at night, and it is loud til late if you aren’t the clubbing kind. Also - and this isn’t the hotel’s fault, of course - if you are counting on the Queen St tram to get you downtown, be sure to check beforehand to see if road construction is going to alter the route!

Very hip and cool place, with a nice rooftop bar and a restaurant. The Crash Pad room was small but comfortable, which is all I needed it to be. Location is great if you want to be in the arts district.

couldn’t tell the cost of the snacks in the room

clean and friendly staff

This hotel is very busy and loud, be prepared as it’s not the quietest place. There are often events there and the restaurant downstairs and rooftop bar will keep you up. The cleaning was not thorough but the staff fixed it immediately when told about it. No complimentary breakfast.

Very chic hotel in the heart of downtown Toronto. Beautiful unique art and decorations and modern rooms.

Some aspects like bathroom sink, stairwell needed sprucing up considering the price of the rooms.

The room was very comfortable. Bed, pillows and shower were great.
