Metropolitan Hotel Toronto

The hotel looks like they tried to renovate and renew the look, but the room itself has worn carpets, the AC unit was not working in one of our rooms, the rooms did not have refridgerators, and the fitness facility/gym was lacking. The area the hotel is in looks like Times Square, but definitely a hike to walk to the CN tower, St. Lawrence Market, etc. It is closer to the university and Chinatown.

My wife and I went to Toronto for the Planet Indigenous events at Harbourfront. We decided to stay at the Metropolitan thanks to a good deal we got online. The location of the hotel is great, very near the subway on University and about a 30 minute walk to the Harbourfront events we were attending when we chose to do so and a comfortable and safe walk in the evening. It is also very close to the City Hall and the events that often happen on the Plaza there as well as the AGO - a great art museum. Parking at the hotel was reasonable with in and out privileges. We arrived about noon but had to wait til 2 PM to get into our room. Our room had a comfortable queen bed and the bathroom was clean with all the usual toiletries offered. The lighting could have been better – a long florescent tube in a cabinet above the mirror. OK but not the best for shaving. Towels were fine and the water pressure good. The room was not large, but adequate room with a desk and chair – TV and dresser. The closet was a cabinet in the corner about two feet wide, just large enough for us, but could be too small for some. We had two large bowed windows and made the room feel bigger than it was. The restaurants in this hotel are quite expensive and we did not eat in them this time, I have however done so in the past and they are excellent. The hotel is close to China town and there are many good, less expensive restaurants and a nearby grocery store as well. The hotel offers free WiFi but I found it hard to get a good reliable signal in our room and lost the connection from time to time. We would stay here again if we could get the same deal again. Usually I get a better rate at a favorite hotel further east on Dundas, but not this time. Hence I stayed here and it was a good enjoyable stay.

average. front desk confusion.restaurant toooooo expensive. asessability problems

The hotel was perfectly adequate. Nothing to rave about, but nothing special either. It's in a great central location, and for the value you can't beat that.

Average hotel, unfortunately the pricing does not reflect the amenities. As written by other reviewers, the room is dated and small. Bulky tv with a remote that needed new batteries. Don't be fooled by the pictures. "Facilities fees" include Internet and are charged extra. However, the connection was spotty as they only had routers on some levels not others. Location is good, close to dundas and yonge but can feel dangerous at night, especially for women traveling alone. For a little extra, I could have stayed at a better known hotel where the amenities are modern.

wonderful location; we were in town to see a performance at the Four Seasons Center, and it was an easy walk from this hotel. We at the hotel restaurant. Food was good, and the experience was pleasant. However, the bed was very soft, no support at all. We suffered considerable back pain the following day.

The hotel is in a great location. Stayed there while in the city for a work commitment. Lobby is nice but room is small and out of date. Nothing bad, but nothing exceptional.

They charged 10 bucks a day to use internet in the room, and the room was sort of small, like it was more for a businessman staying alone. There were 2 of us looking for a more private stay, but it was still comfortable and satisfactory, just not above expectations. The minibar of course was over-the-top not-worth-the-money expensive, and the restaurants in the hotel are quite upscale and pricy (didn't bother going to one). If you drive it will be 21 bucks a day to park your car in the cramped underground garage. Good location though relative to Rogers Centre, and many other downtown Toronto attractions.

Arrived for a weekend anniversary getaway. Parked early in the the hotel garage, walked around Toronto, and desk staff validated our parking ticket as if we'd just checked in at 3pm. Upgraded to king-sized bed for free, desk staff very courteous. Rooms (and hotel in general) have a minimalist, lightly Asian flair to them. Only complaints are somewhat ridiculous on-demand movie rates ($14 for releases already on DVD? Please), and a mandatory "facilities" fee that applies whether you ever step foot in their pool/sauna/whatever. On the whole, though, a worthwhile stay--especially if you're planning to hit Lai Wah Heen for dim sum.

This hotel was great in reference to location to the down town area and transportation routes,and to a park where you could enjoy entertainment, scenery or a time to read and meditate. Food and services were excellent. Rooms were small but comfortable. The least thing I like about the room was the old air conditioner that did not allow for a balanced cooling system.
