Seems I've stayed at nearly every other hotel in downtown Toronto and this was a first for me. Good location right behind Nathan Phillips Square and City Hall. Near Eaton Centre, subway, Queen's Park, etc. The lobby looks like a modern building that someone decided to decorate in 70s decor; it's odd. Desk help was fine. Lots of conference attendees... More

This hotel proved to be a good base from which to explore the city. I stayed for five nights in total at a very reasonable price, quite a lot cheaper than most of the main hotels were priced at. When I arrived they explained that the hotel was in the process of changing hands to another chain and that a... More

We stayed at the The Metropolitan Hotel during our trip trough Canada and the U.S.A. in the summer of 2012. We arrived by car, and the Hotel had good parking spaces underneath the hotel. That's a big plus in a big city like Toronto. When checking in we got really dissapointed. The lady at the desk told us that all... More

Room was horribly run down. There was a huge hole under my sink. The fan sounded like a helicopter. Weird stains on the chair. My light didn't have a lampshade. The only thing nice about the room was the bed. When I complained to the front desk, I was basically told, sorry, but nothing I can do about it. I... More

I stayed here 2 nights while attending a conference in the city. The room was very old looking and needs some updating. The tv was very old and wallpaper was also pretty old. The bed was comfortable and the Crabtree and Evelyn bath products were a nice touch. The location is great, close to great restaurants and shopping. It is... More

I have had occasion to stay at other Metropolitan properties including those in Vancouver and the SoHo Metropolitan in Toronto. Recently The Metropolitan was the designated conference hotel for a meeting I was attending. I booked a Luxury King Room. The room was clean but I can echo other reviews in saying it was in dire need of a facelift.... More

A fairly nice older hotel which is located close to Chinatown. The hotel is converting to a Doubletree Hotel by Hilton, so I would expect a major facelift this year. The location was good and the bar staff were great. The front desk staff were not the friendliest which took me by surprise. The bell hop and concierge were excellent.... More

I stayed here for a girls getaway weekend. For the price of the room I expected a lot more. The room is very dated with worn out wallpaper on the walls and sections of it missing, stains on the curtains, worn down carpet, outdated decor (think early 90's) and a tube tv. It is not what I would call a... More

Room was quite small and furniture/decor very out dated. TV and air conditioning unit very old. Free Wifi however was slow and worked intermittently. On the positive side, staff were great and restaurant was really nice. Hopefully management will initiate some renovations as this place does have potential.

When checking in and out of the hotel there was a huge line up and long wait time. After checking in to the hotel, my boyfriend and I settle down our bags and go to lie on the bed only to discover there's blood on the sheets. We scrambled around to check ourselves thinking one of us is hurt.. We... More
