We were here recently in Toronto for an unplanned two day trip. We looked for reasonable rates and for $99 a night for two double beds in upper Toronto (9 subway stops to downtown) as it's located near Eglington station. So the review is based on $99 for a city like Toronto. It's an old hotel that's slightly out of the way but price wise was fine for what we needed. Pros: - located in a neighbourhood and about a ten min walk from the Eglington station at Yonge and Eglington. There's some restaurants, bars, McDonalds, etc - free breakfast included from 7-11 am weekends and 7-10 am weekdays. There's hot and cold items and the food is actually better than those Hampton Inn types where the sausages and eggs look kinda sketchy. They had poached eggs on one day which was perfectly cooked even when I had it at 930 am. There was bacon, sausage, French toast, waffles, cereal, yogurt and actual fresh fruit. Coffee and juice. - bathroom has an actual fan you can turn on and a heat lamp to warm you after you step out of the shower. Good shower pressure - bed and pillows were comfortable. Sheets were not scratchy. - room was spacious with a large closet lots of hangers. - small fridge in the room and water and apples in the lobby. Cons: - yes it's dated. The lobby is fine but the hallway and rooms are old. - it is near some construction though we were on the 9th (total 10) floor and faces away from the street so it was very quiet for us. - bathroom is small and could have been a bit cleaner but not horrendous. - it's old so there was just one outlet by the bed so I had to pull out either the clock or the light to charge my phone - one pet peeve was a knock on the door by housekeeping one day despite the do not disturb sign read more

For many years, this hotel has offered good value for a modest prixe, including parking, a generous complementary breakfast, and lovely suites. But in the last year that's all changed. I booked a night in January, but I ws told at about 8 pm that the hot water was still off. I ended up going to bed early, looking forward to a shower in the AM instead. In the past year or two, valet parking was the way it had to be, for a price. But the last time we visited, about three weeks ago, the hotel ownsership was telling their guests to walk 10-15 minutes back to the hotel after parking in a city parking lot, and paying the city for the privilege. Meanwhile, 4x4 trucks and other construction vehicles cover the lot. The elevator is slow to open. Push the button several tkmes until it does. I look forward to staying elsewhere in the Forest Hill/ Midtown area. This hotel needs new management. read more

This review may be on the harsh side, but I have only stayed in one other hotel in the toronto area which was far better (and more expensive) than this place was. The worst part of my two day stay here was the room itself. Let this serve as some advice to those of you who use priceline. Be sure to call the hotel immediately and request a two double bed room if thats what you want because when we got here the only two double bed room they had was a smoking room. They had by default put us in a king non smoking but that wouldnt have worked for us. The stench of smoke in the room was overpowering, and even though we were staying for two days, they claimed there were no non smoking rooms left for the next night either. I typically don't mind smoke, but the air in this room made my nasal passages burn and close up tighter than a nun's butt. That said, I liked this hotel because it is in a residential/commercial neighborhood, outside of gimmicky tourist trap hell. There are soooo many restaurants nearby (many of which are thoroughly yelp reviewed) and this gives you a chance to eat what the locals eat. There is a supermarket, drug store, anything you could want within walking distance. I would LOVE to live in this neighborhood. The valet parking is $16/day, while a nuisance, it may be worth it. I parked in the public garage down the street which was really only $2 cheaper and you have to pay each time you come and go. I thought the breakfast buffet was the one redeeming quality of the hotel itself. The ladies that worked the buffet were very pleasant and welcoming. The hotel interior is a bit drab and there is only 1 ice machine on the 3rd floor (the hotel is 8 floors or something). Oh and the WiFi while free is very slow and spotty. I suppose for the cost you are getting what you pay for here, but still. I am so annoyed by the smell of the room I can't give more than 2 stars! read more

I was actually quite pleased with this hotel. Best Westerns aren't known for being fancy, and while the room was very basic, it was a very comfortable stay. The rooms have free wi-fi, which is always a nice touch. It's only about a 10-minute walk to the Eglinton TTC station, and it's close to several great restaurants on Mt. Pleasant (see reviews for Viva Napoli, Positano and Il Gelatiere.) The hotel has a nice gym with several cardio machines, as well as a weights station. I had the buffet breakfast a couple of mornings, and while it was nothing to write home about, it was decent. I would recommend staying away from the hot items, as the eggs are pretty bland and the bacon was far from crispy, but the cereal, pastry, fruit and yogurt selection was pretty good. Great service in the hotel restaurant as well. read more

Where do I start? Booked a room last minute since our regular hotel was sold out. Front desk showed minimal enthusiasm at arrival. We asked for a king bed but they gave us two twins ( and an accessible room) Ok... The rooms are not well lit so the place just felt dingy. The carpet did not Look that clean, the bathroom was clean enough. The bed was HARD. It felt like I was sleeping on a cardboard box. Now lets talk about the WIFI . Or should I say NO-FI . Wifi was non-existent. It kicked me off every 5 minutes nothing was more annoying. My boyfriend noticed my frustration and didnt even bother to sign on. Smart Guy :) On the bright side, the room was cheap. They had washing machines so great for long term ( although I wouldnt recommend that :/ ). Breakfast was free but the eggs were questionable. Stick with the potatoes, cereals an ea. At least those were real. read more

We were in Toronto for a wedding, and booked 3 nights, a month or two in advance. The staff, especially the dining room staff, were excellent and happy to help. The room itself was...questionable. 2 of the outlets nearest the beds were buried in the wall, with extension cords running to the night table. In the case of the desk, an extension cord came out of the wall and sat below the desk. a 3 prong plug was jammed into the end of the two prong extension cord, meaning there was no grounding. The bathroom fan didn't remove any humidity in the air. Instead, it pushed cigarette-smelling air into the bathroom. the room was the middle unit in a group of 3, all with connecting doors in the rooms. One of the doors is right next to the bed, and is so paper thin, we could hear the residents opened pop cans and listening to TV. Management wasn't present when we checked out, and despite leaving concerns with the front desk staff and asking for a call before we were charged, they charged us the full price the next day. We have still not been able to get in touch with management. We won't be staying there in future. read more

We recently stayed here while attending a comedy festival at the Regent Theatre just down the street which for us out of towners was super convenient. The staff and valets were very accommodating - we arrived too early for check in, but arranged for our rooms to be made up ahead of schedule. The room was larger than expected, with a sitting area, couch, desk, refrigerator, and separated area for the beds. Only complaints (and they weren't even annoying or anything): the vending machine was out of order, the parking lot is a mess - super small. We took an Uber everywhere because we didn't feel like taking the car out. And there were lumps under the carpet in the room - felt like just bolts or something on the floor. We just walked around it. All and all would stay here again fer sure if we visited Toronto again! read more

Kind staff and great pool. I was very pleased with the location and everything it offered. Though I have other places that I favor and were booked out, Id definitely come back. read more

We loved our stay at this hotel! Courteous and friendly staff especially Nube! It is about a 12-minute walk to the Yonge-Englinton station. Eglington Street has a wide variety of great restaurant choices! Only cons when we came were: Construction next door Old furniture inside the room and carpet feels and smells moldy Pool area can use some nice umbrellas and seating Limited parking and their is a parking fee although most hotels in this area probably has a parking fee We would stay here again! read more

The Roehampton Hotel is in a convenient location with many good restaurants nearby. The construction work on the street made things not as pleasant. The room was spacious and clean. The staff was helpful. It is tricky that they insist on valet parking so we had to depend on the staff to bring our car each time we wanted to leave. read more

I stayed here for a few times already. Their room is clean and neat. The place is good , though they dont have good views from the window but its okay as long as their rooms are always clean neat smells good... ;) lol. *walking distance or only less than 5min by car - if u wanna eat at the restaurant or watch a movie and subway station as well. read more

Surprisingly I'm shocked at some of the reviews written. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and the amenities were great!! The only issue I had was the heat not working but its the summer so a blanket and your fine, and I preferred a nonsmoking room and was booked to a smoking room which the front desk fixed immediately. The valet is absolutely amazing very generous open and friendly. Plus the breakfast buffets were everything in the morning!! Mainly because my gf and I aren't morning ppl so this was top notch to the start of each morning during caribana. two thumbs way up for me and if you read my other reviews you'll know I'll rip a company in half through reviews if they don't service the public properly lol so this review is 100 legitimate read more

We stayed at this hotel because it's close to our friend's place in Toronto. The hotel is just ok, it's not really good but it's not terrible either. The positive is that it's affordable and they do give you a free breakfast. Service is good too. If there was a better quality hotel in this area we would have stayed there but this was it. If you have to stay in this part of Toronto you'll be ok staying at the Best Western Roehampton, otherwise stay downtown in a nicer hotel. read more

I have stayed at this hotel many times and seem to have a problem checking in with the same front desk attendant, I believe his name is Alwyn. Last night, I tried to check in and he immediately was standoffish and giving attitude for no reason. Swiped my SO's credit card twice and claimed it didn't work, that we both knew it wasn't going to work and that we are flagged on the system. He continued to scream at us and called us cheap people who couldn't afford to go to the bank to get a new credit card. He proceeded to swear at us and say we were barred from bookings.com and not allowed in the hotel. I have never experienced worst customer service and human decency in my entire life. He is despicable and attacked us. I will never be back to this hotel. read more

Love this hotel. Does not look so great outside but the hotel is clean and professionally staffed. Super comfy bed and pretty good Breakfeast. Fantastic checkin and restaurant staff. The valet parking is a tad confusing but I would stay here again. read more

My experience here was so bad that I actually created a Yelp account just so I could share my experience. When I checked in, I was told the hotel was full and only a smoking room was available. I asked for a change to a non-smoking room (as I did every day during my time there) but this could not be accommodated. The room was absolutely disgusting. It didn't smell a little bit like cigarettes, it smelled so bad that I would get a headache after a few minutes in the room. Everything stunk! The sheets, the towels, the bedding, the furniture, the curtains, all of it absolutely reeked!! The smell was so strong that when I arrived at my next destination (not home) after Toronto, I needed to wash all of my clothing as the entire contents of my bag picked up the disgusting odor. On the final day of my stay, I was finally able to transfer rooms. However, this almost didn't happen. In spite of me asking every day for a transfer, and asking them to make a note with my number to alert me when a non-smoking room became available, I was told it was "impossible" for me to transfer rooms at that time since it was past check out. I had to complain to the manager to allow me to transfer to one of their many available non-smoking rooms. It was a truly horrible experience. So bad that I'll likely not ever stay at a Best Western again. If you don't mind cigarette stench, this hotel should be fine for you. read more

Don't waste your time with this hotel. I gave this hotel a lot of business, as I booked several rooms here for my wedding. They only have a valet option for parking and the Valet damaged one of my guests cars. I find this extremely sneaky and underhanded of the Hotel to not be up front about causing damage to the vehicle. Especially from such a large corporation!! When confronted, they were extremely dismissive and unhelpful with the whole situation. Very disappointed in how the situation is being handled, would never recommend this hotel to anyone. DON'T STAY HERE! read more

Terrible customer service, night front desk manager needs to learn how to treat guests with respect and handle unforeseen situations a lot better. My situation eventually was handled but it took a lot of push back and I experienced a lot of profanity/negativity as well when trying to explain the reasons for my discontent. Save your money and stay somewhere else. read more
