2-Star Hotels in Toronto

The jazz bar was lovely with excellent music. Such a shame that hotel guests have to pay to attend - it really should be a perk of staying. Nice food, basic and reasonably priced. Friendly bar staff. The hotel itself fell way below expectations I'm afraid. No lift, and no assistance with luggage, not really a problem, but not very welcoming. Very small dingy room. Very small bed with a very thin mattress. No cupboard or hanging space. Very noisy from the street. Really needs decent double glazing. Small shower room with black tiles which hide the fact that it could be cleaned a bit more thoroughly. We had a double room with shower. The public bathroom didn't look great. Very drab decor throughout. No tea/coffee facilities. It did have a TV and a hairdryer. I've stayed in basic hotels before, but this one really needs some TLC. It is in a good location with a large public carpark next door (we had a hire car, so this was good). It really could be lovely if it was given some attention. The price was good.

I stayed with Samesun in Toronto in Mars 2023. They have a 24 h open reception. The check in went smoothly, the rooms, bathrooms and showers were clean! You have a charger and a small lamp by your bed and curtains to separate yourself from the other’s. The best thing about the stay was the free of charge breakfast in the morning! Coffee, bagels, waffles, cereal, fruit etc.. so nice.

2nd times stay in this hotel, good location , have gym room and free shuttle to hotel/airport. walk 5 to 7minutes to restaurant near by. Recommended.

There is no business around the hotel, but it is very close to IKEA and COSTCO. Of course, it only takes a few minutes by car. It is also more convenient to get to the airport. It takes about 20 minutes by car (without 407). The hotel lobby is being renovated. The rooms are not affected. The rooms on the first floor have two front and rear doors. The back door is the place to park. The bed in the room is the kind of soft bed, not very adaptable, the breakfast is the very simple American buffet breakfast, bread and bacon, simple, but full.

It was against my better judgment to stay here after reading so many bad reviews but all other hostels were full. The owner needs to either employ more staff or train the ones they have on how to clean. While my bed appeared clean nothing else did. The carpets are disgusting and need to be ripped out. The bathrooms while seemingly fairly new are disgusting with mould, soap build up and general dust & dirt. This could be a great place with some effort as the location is interesting and on a good public transport route.

Warm, efficient and quick check in. A short Uber ride to the airport, location was perfect for me with a Tim Horton's coffee shop almost next door and a large shopping mall one km away. Room was clean, spacious and great wifi. Refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker was perfect for my three day stay. My room was also quiet. Bed comfy, lots of towels and toiletries in the bathroom. Staff super friendly and helpful.

This place is a little gem. Unbelievable value considering you're within walking distance of downtown and all the attractions. Although if you're not much of a walker the subway is right round the corner. Rooms are basic, but have everything you need. The check in was smooth and easy even though I was panicking about arriving after 7pm when the reception is not staffed. The only minor quibble I had was that the WiFi was very unreliable. But if that's you're only complaint when staying at a property you're doing pretty well!! Would definitely stay again on my next visit to Toronto.

This is an iconic hotel of Toronto. I came to the ballet and forgot to make reservations and at the last minute all my choice hotels were booked. So I ended up here as a last choice. Must confess that when I first saw it, I was dismayed by its appearance until I stepped in and was greeted by Megan, a very pleasant young lady. I requested a first floor room(no elevator). I was told these rooms have no A/C. I asked:does it have a fan? Yes. I’ll take it. The room was not that little, private bath and windows!!! Very important to air the place. Ran out and bought plenty of room freshness paraphernalia. Although we are in a heat wave, it was a very cool room. They should get rid of the carpet and place laminated floors instead. It is a very basic hotel. They provided 2 soaps, towels in the bathroom(need to bring your own toiletries). No hair dryer. A fan, Big flat TV, a table and two chairs, Full size bed. Drawers. Night table with lamp(that is not working). For a night it was not bad. I discovered a new place through my window-Esra’s. I reviewed in another post. The hotel is a few blocks from Younge-Dundas Sq Downtown Toronto. I saw plenty of young people checking in for the upper floors.

I got to the hotel super early after 9am because I missed my flight to head back home. I already know the 3pm policy so I went to the front desk. I was already super tired and hungry and was met by Satvik. I explained my dilemma and asked if I could rest my luggage down because I know I’m not able to check it now. He was so sympathetic to my situation smiled and said he had a room available now that I could check in. I was in shocked and super happy. He also thanked me for being a diamond member and gave me a snack package that I hadn’t had to ask for. I’ve stayed at 3 other hiltons in Toronto and not one of them offered me my snack package or acknowledged my status. Also I’ve met the lady at housekeeping on the floor and she was very friendly. I didn’t get her name, I wish I did. My room was very clean, fresh linen and towels. Also the other staff at front desk assisted me on where I can walk for food. Seeing that I already turned my car in. Also I received a wake up call for my shuttle bus to leave that next morning. Even though it was only one night, I’ve never felt so much appreciated. Please keep up the good work and to Satvik thank you so much!! When I return back to Toronto I will definitely stay here again! Thank you!!

I loved my stay here. It is a low-cost place in a local neighbourhood, and that’s what I was looking for. My room was clean and efficient. It is a bit weird in that there is no public signage and you have to read signs on the doors to find your way to check-in. Once there, the people who run the place are lovely. There is no elevator so I had help carrying my bag up the stairs to the second floor. Best to bring your own toiletries, but they have small packets of shampoo etc it you want them. I loved the fact that there were some food items left in the fridge - and I left some behind. Much more like a short stay in an apartment than a hotel. Great local restaurants and easy transit. I was attending a downtown conference and loved my place a $17 Uber away from the convention centre.
