Wow we loved staying there ! The entire family enjoyed, the kids did not want to leave ! It was very clean and quiet. The only point that was a little annoying is the parking. It is complicated to find indications for city street parking and there is not enough info for the underground parking. Everything else was perfect !

Exceptional property with incredible, supportive staff. I’ve been to Britain multiple times - this captures it authentically. Spotless, spacious and adjacent to a British pub with decadent meals. I could not be happier! We stayed in the Executive room with the largest most gorgeous washroom we’ve ever had. We feel like royalty. xo

The room was adequate. Since we were above the bar and restaurant there were about 3 nights in which the noise was excessive. Tried to move but there was no availability. We stayed for 8 nights but sheets and towels were not changed until the 6th day. We had to ask for clean towels and coffee pods twice. Enjoyed the neighbourhood though which was walkable with numerous cafes and restaurants and small shops.

It was a great place to stay. A bit confusing at first, as it is a residence condos where the underground parking is. However, the room was amazing. Had a great nights sleep. Will definitely stay again.

Disliked: Amenities
There was no bathroom - the sink and shower were in the room with the bed and the toilet was in a small closet. The shower was large and excellent except that it was not private as the long side was glass and therefore one was visible to others in the room while showering. Not all people wish to shower in public. Some people travel with others with whom they are not intimate. Very strange. There is no hotel desk, therefore one must find a server in the dining room to learn how to obtain the room key. Also without a Lobby there is no place to ask questions or find brochures about the area. Also very strange. We were there for a weekend and found that some of the streets around the hotel were closed for Octoberfest festivities, therefore making parking in the area very difficult. We would choose a different hotel the next we are in that area.

Had a great stay. Our room gave onto a sidestreet, and being up one storey we were looking out into fall colours. Quiet overnight. Lovely stylish room. Very clean. Comfortable bed. Easy check-in/check-out process. Great dining and brunch options nearby (the beet and goat cheese salad at the adjoining British pub was wonderful); highly recommend the Mulligan café up the street also for vegan and gluten free options and lovely ambience.
