Reviews Hotel Fairmont Royal York *****

Great property with old world charm and Canadian Pacific flair for elegance.

It had three restaurants and a Library Bar, which was our favorite of its three restaurants.

The room was spacious, clean, well-maintained, and comfortable.

The service and the facilities were commensurate to the fees charged.

The hotel had a "old world" feel,but with all the amenties. Our room was nicely furnished and had flat screen T.V. I loved the lobby as there were wing back chairs and a pianist at night.

Of course being right across from the train station was a plus for us as we were utilizing the train.

location, good value for $

A beautiful old world hotel with good facilities (restaurants, lounges, workout), but room sizes very, very small and very old fashioned decor. We were on the 11th Floor in what was described as newly renovated on a premium floor. We had to pull out light plugs to plug in our laptop and phone chargers, as there were very few accessbile outlets. The hotel lacks wifi, requiring a plug-in to access internet, and they charge a considerably higher premium than other hotels of this magnitude, many of which now offer free internet. The bathroom was small too, and did not seem particularly well appointed. The oddest and most inconvenient issue were the closets, which did not have standard hangars on a parrallel bar, but instead went from front to back making it hard to see and choose one's clothing for the day. The bedding was very nice. The staff was very nice. The concierge was excellent. And of course the location can't be beat. So in the end it depends on what is important to you. We had a great deal, considering it was Toronto International Film Festival, compared to other 4* hotels, but frankly, for the money, the room should have been bigger and more up to current standards.

The Royal York is a Very beautiful hotel. It takes you back in time to an era long gone. Great location for being in the middle of the action in Toronto. The train station is right in front of the hotel. The Royal York is connected to the “Under Ground City” or also called the “PATH”. From the hotel you have direct access to the subway system of Toronto.

The Hotel staff is very accommodating and ready to help if needed.

Rooms are nice but a little worn. The beds are very nice and comfortable.

The only thing I feel is of issue is that if you are paying to stay at a hotel of this caliber and price range, the things that are free at lesser hotels are charged as extra here. An example is internet access. I can stay at a lot cheaper hotel and get high speed internet at no extra charge and at the Royal York it cost extra as do a lot of things you would think would be included at a hotel of this type.

4 star hotel - 4 star price - Very beautiful hotel and upscale - Location is perfect, connected to the "PATH" and direct access to Union Train Station.

Very small room - had hair dryer but hung in bag on door due to no room to even mount it in bathroom. Staff friendly and assisted as needed. In room snack bar - could by a whole bag of candy bars for what it cost for one from the snack bar, don’t even think of buying from the fridge $$$$.

For the level of hotel and price things like internet access should be included but it is not.

Convenient location. Quite expensive.

I was checked into a room that had someone already staying in it...and no one even called me to apologise after I had been given another room...the staff acting like they are doing you a favor...Definitely not worth the money with this kind of poor customer service.

Great location for my trip as I was close to the convention center. The facilities were impeccable as was the service. Fantastic restaurants right in the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel to others visiting Toronto!
