Top University District Hotel Reviews

Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto

8/10 Good

"I loved the property and amenities, but with the strike going on it was really inconvenient to have to park across the street and carry bags in, but they did give credits because of this."

One King West Hotel & Residence

8/10 Good

"Overall, nice room with a good view. Staff were very nice. I always stay here when I need to go to downtown Toronto. One issue was the elevator, which took a very long time. There were also no signs outside the elevator to inform you which level the elevator is at so you just have to wait near the elevator."
