Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Victoria Mansion is a traditional house of the Victorian era. It's built solid, it has charm and while being an old house, the rooms are more than adequate and clean. Don't expect the place to be like the Royal York, but it has all the features of a hotel room.

Property's Favourite Review
Located at a 6min walk from Wellesley station, this cozy mansion was great. Compared to other hotels, it was very budget friendly. It was clean, check-in was smooth (our room was even ready before check in time, so that was great), staff is very nice. The location is amazing, we went to see the CN Tower, Ripley’s Aquarium and Casa Loma and everything is accessible from the subway station. I would definitely stay here again!

The quiet location was good and accessible to public transport. The room was spacious and decorated in character with being an historic building. Everything was clean and very basic. The late check in system was efficient and easy to follow. The staff were friendly and helpful. The electricity power plugs and cords need to be upgraded - a cord going across the floor at the bathroom door did not seem safe. The tea, coffee, creamer were in a haphazard pile in a bowl which was off putting. We had to request washing up and drying cloths for the kitchen sink.

Clean, comfortable and too noisy. Unfortunately the noise is mostly from the housekeeping and reception staff. Loud conversations and slamming doors. How about a training course on how to quietly close doors and how to carry on quiet conversations?

My rating is based on what I was expecting after reading other reviews. If you go in thinking it is a manicured boutique hotel you will be disappointed, because it is an old home and each room will have it's own issues. However, Toronto hotel rates are crazy expensive, even if you go a bit away from the busy center/harbor area. The rates at this guest house are reasonable, and we loved the location near transit and a wonderful collection of restaurants. While close to busy Yonge St., it was quiet. As for our room... it needed a little TLC, but there was enough space and was comfortable enough for sleeping (we spent little time there during the day). The bathroom was tiny, so if that is something that concerns you, ask about the specifics of the room before booking. They are wonderful at answering questions.

We checked in late with a key code with no problems. Our rooms on the first floor are a little dated but functional. Bathrooms and rooms were clean. Parking was tight but manageable and so convenient in the city. We walked to dinner and the neighborhood felt safe.

My overall experience was beyond my expectation. I was supposed to stay at the cheapest room, but since my bus was scheduled to arrive at night, the owner sent me a message that I could pick up the keys from the lockbox. However, there were some confusions, and someone ended up taking my room. To solve this situation, the owner offered me an upgrade. Although something unexpected happen, I was very pleased with the prompt customer services. Additionally, the room was clean and well maintained, and I did not have any issues with utilities, although the building itself has some history behind it. The location is convenient, you can access to good restaurants on food and subway station as well.

Location and pricing (around 700 cad for 5 nights) was pretty good! They read and fulfilled my special request and communicated well. Charming building from the outside, but feels worn on the inside. I had pretty bad sleep every might at this hotel. However, the city was very warm and humid during my stay. The bed was not to my liking, but potato tomato.

Hello and thanks so much for taking the time to provide feedback! I am so sorry you did not get a good night's sleep! if there is any way you could let us know which room you were in we would love to look into it for you. as we totally rely on our guest's feedback re the comfort of our beds. And of course you are also right....individual mattress preferences can make it difficult to please everyone. Thanks again for taking the time!

Garden is very small. One bench one fountain out front and one small stone bench on side. Steps to get up to door. Have to call to be let in. Once checked in get code for first door and keys for next two doors. 17 steps to second floor. I paid for deluxe queen. Balcony shared. Cigarette butts and smell there. Bed not queen but a double. Small shower very little water pressure. View of alley. I had walker but they wouldn't switch us to first floor.

Thanks so much for taking the time to provide feedback. We are so sorry we did not meet your expectations. While being small has it's charm, it also does come with challenges....such as simply not having enough rooms that meet everyone's expectations if requiring last minute changes. We can assure you, if you booked a deluxe queen room, you absolutely had a standard queen size mattress.....we only have one deluxe queen room. In all of our property descriptions the room description does say it is a shared balcony, and our confirmation emails also state that it is on the second floor and we have no elevator. Regarding your concerns about the difficulty getting into the building...while it can seem onerous, it is entirely for the safety and security of our guests....the front door cannot be accessed unless the code is entered, and the code is not provided until after guests have checked in...necessitating that first arrival to require a phone call! Thank you for your feedback about the smell of cigarettes outside and the water pressure....we will definitely look into these concerns! Should you want to give us an opportunity to better meet your needs the next time, we would be happy to try and find an available room on the first floor for you. Thanks again.

I was travelling solo and this was the perfect place to stay. The location is ideal, the room and bathroom were basic but immaculately clean. The parking lot in the back is extremely well lit at night. The security in the building is impressive and I felt very safe. I will definitely stay here again next time!
