Right downtown, but on a quiet side street, so city noise was minimal. Walking distance from so many attractions, shops and restaurants. I appreciated the pre-arrival check-in, so all I had to do was show my ID and I got my key. There are only 11 floors in the hotel and 15 rooms per floor so it was smaller than the massive hotels in Toronto I'm used to. It was very quiet. The design of the room was thoughtful, bed and pillows were great, high ceilings, excellent shower. Nespresso maker in the room with proper coffee mugs. Restaurant looked nice but I didn't eat there. The only negative was the room perfume or cleaning products that were used had a very strong smell when I arrived, but staff assured me that next time I could have a scent-free room. I was very happy with my stay at Le Germain Mercer and I would not hesitate to return.
