Top Central Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Toronto Downtown Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and easy access to shopping and restaurants."

Residence and Conference Centre – Toronto

8/10 Good

"It wasn’t bad. I’d say if you’re going in and out late at night, you’re going to see a lot of college students, which felt a little weird to me. But overall, the room size was decent, and the residence itself wasn’t bad. The only other downside was that the parking was pretty far from the residence. Overall, I’d give it an 8/10. It was decent, but I didn’t really like coming back at night and running into college students."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Toronto Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, friendly, clean and accommodating. I was asked what floor I preferred, that was nice. Got txt msg from staff checking on me. As I was just looking at the restaurant menu, both the chef and bartender made sure I was taken care of. Very nice place to stay."

The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto

10/10 Excellent

"From check in to check out we had an excellent stay, we were upgraded to renovated rooms in the South Tower which were very clean and comfortable. If there was a criticism the AC was very noisy but we just max cooled during the day and switched it off at night. The filtered water tap on n our room didn't work but reception provided us with bottled water every day no problem. The hotel was well placed for the ferry and water taxis and only 15 minutes walk from some great eating. When our son was kept awake by a barking dog at night they gave us ALL a free breakfast top service. Bar is no more expensive than other hotels but service can be a bit slow .. having said that we had an excellent server after the concert we were in town for who suggested some fries before we headed to bed, we were winding down with some beers, they were great. Definitely would do again."
