The Fairmont Royal York, Toronto

The only thing i would suggest to you guys is making sure you book it online at SweetHotelDeals. N e t I did a bunch of searching for hotel prices, and that site seems to have the lowest prices all around

I booked a room for my boyfriend's birthday for October 2nd, 2010. There is some type of construction on the outside of the hotel, which greatly diminishes the initial appeal. Checking in was fine and the concierge was pleasant. The lobby itself is quite nice However, when I entered the room I was very disappointed. At the rate of 279 + tax a night you'd expect a nice room, but it was very small and dated. That I could have lived with, but there was BUGS everywhere in the room! I called down to the front desk to inform them of the insects in my room and the lady said the only thing they could do is send someone to spray the room. I could not believe that. They didn't even offer to get us another room. I have stayed in many hotels and I have NEVER stayed anywhere with bugs all over the place! After filling the ice bucket we left to return to find 20 or so small bugs floating in the melted ice. Totally unacceptable. When I informed the front desk upon checking out, the lady said she'd "make a note". This hotel is a terrible place t stay. I've had better experiences in lower-priced chains. Beyond the bugs the room itself was not clean. There was a hole in the curtains and the view was terrible - all we could see was the ugly roof. I would never stay in this hotel. I can not believe the state of the room we stayed in and the fact that the hotel did not have the decency to do anything to compensate for the infestation in the room. I will definitely advise friends and family NOT to stay here.

Cleaness is an issue I had my minibar fridge out of order with food in it left for more than two week it semlls very bad.

We stayed there for Saturday night and had an AMAZING time. The service was fantastic and the location since we took train was perfect. My partner a history sort of guy, loved the rich historic interior.

We went with our son when he was young and lo and behold, this hotel, while it was being renovated, was the site where one of his favourite movies was filmed, Short Circuit 2. The food was excellent in the hotel and everyone was very pleasant. It was horrendously expensive as the Canadian dollar was much stonger against the American dollar so watch the rates of exchange. We were close to everything including the Hockey Hall of Fame, the train station and all of the underground. We went in the summer and the weather was wonderful. I'd go back in a minute! Toronto is an incredible city, very kid-friendly, and all of the restaurants, four star and all, have children's menus.

The Fairmont Royal York made me a nice first imperession. It's a very good hotel. Every needs of customers is satisfied well. Staff is very friendly and professional. Services here are so wonderful. I wish I could retirn to the beautiful hotel.

Sir, im Raju 32, from malaysia , and i wanna work full time in canada in any hotel. Can u give me a job in your hotel?

I've stayed at a few Fairmont Hotels and always enjoyed them so when I came to Toronto for a week I booked my stay at the Royal York. Unfortunately this was by far the least impressive Fairmont that I have been to. The lobby is beautiful and the location is great, but I found the rest of the hotel rather rundown and in serious need of renovation. I stayed on the 15th floor and was turned off by the low ceilings, odd church basement type smell, and ratty carpet with duct tape covering some areas. My room was also very small and showed a lot of wear and age; two lamps did not work, the TV was very small and old with a weak signal on many channels, the internet was not wireless, and the carpet had stains. I also found a broken wineglass under the edge of the bed sitting in a dried pool of red wine and could have easily sliced open my foot if I hadn't been wearing shoes. What was also very unfortunate is that the room had a comanding view of the waterfront but it was totally ruined by a thick layer of dirt and grime all over the exterior of the glass and some sort of outside sash that was half raised so that a huge bar was right at eye level. Fairmont loves to boast about their superior attention to detail but I found that the details were where it all fell apart. It's really too bad because this hotel has great bones and the people working there were extremely helpful but it's just a huge letdown.

This is a beautiful pace for all of people, I hope you'll have a wonderful trip when you come here..:)) It's suitable for students, business, teachers, family..You'll have a chance to learn more about history.!!!Have fun!!!

I found the location to be very convenient. I also liked the service I received from the staff. I single out Lionel at the Front office for his fast and efficient resolution of the problem I had with my credit card. I did not like quality of housekeeping. My coffee maker was not cleaned/emptied for the 7 days I stayed there, meaning I could not make my own coffee. Also, the glasses in the room would not be cleaned properly, and often had stains. I had to wash them every time I needed to use them.
