When planning my Toronto vacation (for September 1-5, 2017) the toughest decision I had to make was…read morein deciding where I was going to stay. I wanted to be in or near downtown but the hotels in the heart of the city were so expensive around Labor Day. After searching a few other travel pages, I went to the trivago.com site and was fortunate to find out about Victoria's Mansion. The first thing I noticed was the affordable price, then the location and finally the positive reviews. I'd never stayed in a vacation guest house but in this case affordability outweighed fear of the unknown. The trivago site switched me over to hotels.com and from there I made reservations. I'm an early planner, so it was in March when I booked a basic single room for my September vacation. I paid about half the cost right away and didn't have to pay the rest until I checked in. The total price was only $277.98 in US dollars! After making the reservation, I got an email from Victoria's Mansion thanking me and telling me other things I needed to know (like check in times are between 3-7pm, they don't have elevators and if you're driving you need to make parking arrangements ahead of time). Their courtesy made me feel even better about my decision. Victoria's Mansion is in a very convenient location. After I got off the subway at Wellesley Station, all I had to do was turn left and walk about half a block until I got to Church Street. Then I made left down Church St., walked maybe two blocks until I got to Gloucester St., made another left and it was right there. One thing I immediately discovered while walking there is that the neighborhood is in a predominately gay/transgender area. Rainbow flags are hanging outside most of the nearby stores and I saw gay couples & a few TG/TV while on my way to the house. Also there is a gay nightclub and another club that has nightly drag queen shows close by on Church St. This wasn't an issue for me because I respect people's sexual orientations. Besides, the neighborhood is safe and clean. There is a local grocery, pizzerias, a Baskin Robbins & other fast food restaurants like Hero Burger. It was a little after 1pm when I arrived and the front door was locked. After I called on my phone, someone came, let me in and I completed my check in even though I was early. I was given a passcode to dial when entering the front door and manual keys (not a card key) to room 5. I had to walk down some steps and my room was on the same floor as their laundry room. The house looks & smells older in person but it's well managed. It's not really a mansion but a large house with lots of rooms. My room was very small, with a low ceiling that had a light I kept hitting my head on even though I'm only 6ft tall. With the exception of some dust on the phone (which looked like it hadn't been used in a long time) my room was clean. It has a television, a little refrigerator, a microwave, a cabinet with dishes inside, and a tiny restroom. The bed was about the size of a twin bed but was very comfortable. My room was small enough to where I once had to leave the room so housekeeping would have enough space to clean it. But since I was traveling alone the size of the room wasn't that big of a deal to me. Not all rooms are the same size as mine but I chose the cheapest one available. Here are a few other things you should know: 1) There is only one iron & ironing board and everyone staying there shares it. They keep it in the laundry room. 2) One of the rules there is that you cannot bring people who aren't staying there inside. So if you meet someone you're attracted to, you're going to have to take that person someplace else for a "nightcap." 3) There is no check out process. When you leave, all you do is just drop your keys in a slot by the front desk. 4) There is a dark, grungy 24 hr internet cafe on Yonge St. about a 10 minute walk away. I went there to print my airline boarding pass for the flight home. You'll see the weirdest people in Toronto at that internet cafe though. 5) I left early in the morning before the subway was running. I paid a whopping $65 (Canadian dollars) for a taxi from Victoria's Mansion to Pearson Airport! 6) Just about everything (CN Tower, the Toronto Island Ferry, Rogers Centre, Royal Ontario Museum) is easy to get to via public transit. Dundas Square (Toronto's answer to Times Square) and the Brass Rail strip club (read my yelp review on this club) are within walking distance. 7) I only saw one housekeeper while I was there, so the time your room is cleaned varies. I really enjoyed my stay at Victoria's Mansion. The little room grew on me and even though there were other guests staying there it was quiet and I never really saw them. It was like crashing at a relative's home where they let you come and go as you please, so long as you obey the house rules. It suited my needs perfectly and I would definitely stay there again.

No parking available onsite but there's overnight parking at a garage 1 block away for $24CAD. I'd definitely stay here again because it's just such a cute spot in a great area - close to public transit as well. @azfitfoodfun

It's a little difficult to find when arriving for the first time, but after being there once, you'll have no trouble. The first thing you'll notice is the cute seating areas that are rather stylish. One night there was even live music. The check-in counter is at the bar of the attached restaurant and the staff was incredibly friendly during my stay. I wasn't in my room much, but while I was there it was small, yet cozy. They had all the amenities that I needed. There wasn't any outside noise that impacted my sleep and the bed was comfy. I did have to adjust the thermostat a few times as it got rather chilly and the table, chair, and TV area was a little janky. I'm not sure I would stay here again as I prefer a more spacious room, but if you're into small spaces and a more unique stay, this would definitely fit the bill.

I think the world would benefit from more places like this, inexpensive accommodations with unique character with private rooms and shared bathrooms. I stayed for a week in October 2012. It was an easy walk to the University of Toronto, where I was attending a convention. I was a single guest, but they upgraded me to a room with a double bed at no extra charge -- maybe that was all that was available. The narrow windy halls and short flights of stairs give the place a quirky atmosphere. They ask you to take off your shoes in the front hallway. This helps to keep things clean. The carpets had some stains, but they were otherwise clean. The bed was comfortable, and they were happy to provide me with extra pillows. I did not encounter any bed bugs. The room was nicely furnished with a wardrobe with hangers and a big desk. The ceiling was low. The walls between rooms were thin, but there was little traffic noise from outside, even with the window open, because the place is set back from the main street. The shared bathrooms were clean, and the showers functioned well. The front desk is not always attended, and the bedrooms are only cleaned between guests, or once a week, in case of extended stays, but that was fine for me. The woman who usually sits behind the front desk was friendly and helpful, though her English was not very good. They have a kitchen and laundry facilities available for guests, which were big pluses in my mind. I paid for just one day first, and then paid for the rest of the week when I decided I wanted to stay longer. They do ask you to pay up front.

Considering the nature of the error, and the fact that I actually did show up and want to stay there, it seems that Downtown B&B exploited the situation.

The staff was friendly, the location is good, the price was solid, and the room was comfy and clean. Some touch points: Conveniently located near a college campus so there are plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. The hotel offers parking, although we did not utilize it. We did valet check our bags the last morning after checking out so we could do some more sight-seeing prior to going to the airport - always a plus to be able to do. Breakfast is included - you receive a voucher per guest per day for the Freshii downstairs, served until 10:30AM. This was convenient and the food was good. The room was spacious, clean, and comfy. Modern/Ikea-esque decorations, TV, couch, coffee table, closet. The bed was really comfy. In-room fridge which I love! Nice bathroom, basic toiletries provided, hairdryer, and some fun post-shower slippers made from towel material. Bathrobes in the closet. Low noise level - we had good night's sleep. This was a great hotel choice and we enjoyed our stay! I would recommend the Saint James Hotel.
