As a Goldmember, we get 2 PM late check out. We asked the lady at the front desk for a late check out, she told us that we had to call back in the morning. Next morning, we called down and asked for a late check out, she did not even let us finish our sentence before saying no. She did not bother to check to see if a late check out was available for the room. To say, I'm disappointed is an understatement. I will be switching all my stays to Hyatt from now on.

This downtown core Toronto hotel is southeast of Dundas Street W and Bathurst St with a view…read morenorthwards to Alexandra Park, a city space with a playground, baseball diamond and skate area.  It is rated Accessible but not Pet-friendly. Walk a few blocks south and vibrant Queen Street W is yours to discover! Front desk staff are professional; be nice at a minimum and you'll get that in return.  This is my first visit to The Alexandra Hotel. I'm only here to visit two guests staying in separate rooms.  Both said their simple rooms were clean with kitchenettes & a stovetop so I can't speak first-hand of the experience.  Just keeping my social distance with the COVID-19 situation and the safety of all. The Alexander has limited parking. There is WiFi for guests. Venture outside and you can experience attractions like The Art Gallery of Ontario, CN Tower and Rogers Centre (once we are over the pandemic lock-down).

Not bad, really. I needed a place to stay that was close-ish to downtown Toronto and could not…read moreafford the downtown prices. I chose to stay at Alexandra Hotel after reading a few reviews. The hotel itself is ok. It's a bit old and rundown. The elevator does door doesn't close unless you press the old fashion button that says "close" and won't go anywhere unless you push your desired floor. They also use REAL keys still! The room was cozy. Nothing fancy but it contained everything I need and some tiny perks that made my stay a bit nicer. For example, there were extra blankets in the closet. The closet was a decent size. I stayed on the 6th floor, which is the top floor I believe and I had a nice view of the park outside. The room had a mini fridge, mini microwave, sink, desk, couch, queen size bed, heating and a/c. The hotel has wireless which I didn't expect but was pleasantly surprised. The bathroom was clean and had 3 body towels- which were a bit on the small side and 2 washcloths. There was also a washer/dryer located on my floor. The iron is communal and is located in the washroom. A hairdryer was available at the front desk for a $10cn deposit- which was refunded at the end of my stay. Otherwise, the hotel is located about 4 blocks from Chinatown and Kensington Market- less if you cut through the park. It's also located near clubs so if you like nightlife there is plenty to do or people to watch on Fri./Sat. nights. Also, the hotel is located a few blocks from the fashion district. It's a bit like Melrose Bl. in Hollywood with many eclectic clothing shops. The area around the park by the hotel gets a bit shady at night I think but I didn't see anything particularly disturbing myself. It was between $10-$15 CN to take a taxi downtown. I took taxi's to and from downtown and walked all throughout downtown but I think you could walk to downtown in about 20-30 min. Finally, I'd like to say that the staff at the hotel were really quite nice. They offered plenty of suggestions for things to do and where to eat. They called taxi's for me whenever I needed a ride. After I checked out they even allowed me to leave my luggage at the hotel while I explored a bit before my flight. I would give the hotel 4 stars on service. It was basically the type of hotel I needed for my 3 night stay. Nothing fancy, just a nice friendly place to get a good night's sleep.

After reading many reviews of this place, and considering all the pros and cons and price I decided…read moreto book this place. When I arrived, I was really surprised. Unlike the Google Maps street view the building is freshly painted and remodeled. It looks clean and modern from the outside. It has a nice charm on the inside, and is very clean. I am staying for 10 days 8/13-8/23 and today is 8/21. So far everything has been amazing, and there have been no problems. The breakfast is satisfactory and pleasant considering the price - coffee, orange juice, cereal, toast, and tea. There's a vending machine in the breakfast area too, which is just next to the check in counter. The staff here are always asking how is your trip and if there is anything they can do. I've never stayed anywhere that seemed to be so concerned. Considering this hotel has only 25 rooms, it feels intimate and cozy. The WiFi is really good, however if you're in room 101 the WiFi will be spotty unless you have a powerful WiFi antennae. I got by generally but when I needed it I just sat in the kitchen eating area and used it, where it's crazy fast. I caught up with my VICE news etc. doing that. The single rooms are pretty small but really big if you're not planning on spending your trip inside a room. The beds are comfy, the sheets and bed spreads are about as white as white gets ( that's comforting, I remember staying at Circus Circus in Vegas and not really wanting to even touch the sheets ). The bathroom is small and there is a half sink with a hair dryer. That's fine with me! It's pretty cute actually. The shower is stand up and is just big enough to bend over comfortably when soaping your feet and stuff. The only complaint about that would be to have something to put some soap or your items on there with. I just used the floor which has been fine ( of the shower ). The windows have dual blackout blinds that are pretty nice. The first one blocks view and the second blacks out the room for the most part. This has worked fine when sleeping in as the room stays dark. The room I had and it seems most probably do have this is the heater on the bottom of the room and a nice new AC unit thingy at the top. It's kinda fun to play with the air direction.. it has a little lip thing that moves around based on what you do with the remote to guide the air. Haha! Better than a wall unit AC that sticks out the back of the window. It looks like mostly / only the first floor has these new ACs ( I can see the other type on the outside of the other floors ). Each floor also seems to have their own WiFi router and access point. That being said I wouldn't mind staying in the upper floors, elevator or not ( there is none, but really what are you bringing you cannot lug up a flight of stairs? There's rarely elevators in Paris ). Things around the area. LAUNDRY There's a laundromat about a 2 minute walk from the door of the hotel, it has Jumbo washing machines for $6.25 CAD a load and normal ones for $3 CAD. Drying is $0.25 CAD for 4 minutes, so save them quarters haha. The machines take $0.25, $1.00 and $2.00 CAD coins, nothing else. The machine will give change but it will take $0.25 CAD per use, which means $1 turns to $0.75 and $2 turns to $1.75 so again save your coins. To get detergent I suggest when walking out of the hotel to walk to the left, EAST on DUNDAS the first block you get to is a FRESHCO, but a $5 tide detergent from there that has the balls or whatever. I found that easy. You slide open these trays in the laundromat and drop one of those suckers in and you're set. The washing machines take about 30 minutes and I dried two loads of laundry in one machine for 34 minutes and that was enough to dry all the jeans out and what not. Awesome. I used a FRESHCO bag to haul my laundry back and forth. COFFEE and STUFF lol After breakfast ends at 10 am there's still coffee generally available, at least until the pot is out ( not sure if they refill it when it's out after breakfast but either way you can't complain =) ), you can hit up the Tim Hortons that is adjacent to the FRESHCO. This particular one has a ton of sandwiches you can buy most are about $5 and pretty good. At the FRESHCO I would get my Red Bulls at $2 each not bad. Also got some snacks and stuff for my room. FOOD The Ontario Restaurant across the street from the hotel is wicked. The people there are really friendly, especially this older guy who is the cook. He likes to give you a hard time in a friendly way =). My girlfriend ordered some Steak and Eggs from there and I had a BLT. Hers came out to $12 and mine $5. You really cannot beat that. The food was really good. The only sad thing is that they closed on 8/16 for two weeks for a vacation / holiday ( the older gentleman told me about this ). If it weren't for that I would have eaten there every day. Great stay, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. From California. -Matthew

They helped me print my parking pass. Nicholas who checked us in showed me where the boundaries are for the 3K parking zone. He even told me which streets were busier (Dufferin). We had the best luck on Beaconsfield and Goldstone. When we ran into him in the hallway the next day he asked if there's anything we needed. The rooms have been renamed colors. We stayed in the Grey room and the Plum room. Word of warning Old Toronto architecture isn't wheelchair friendly. There are steps in what feels like every building. For couples I'd recommend the rooms on the lower levels. The set up of the bathroom in the plum room is better for a couple. The sink isn't in the same room as the shower and toilet so it's easier to get ready at the same time. The plum room also has more of a lounge area where the TV is. If someone is unable to sleep they can go to the other side of the room. The drawback to the plum room is the noise from the buses that run through Dundas West. The rooms come with a little kitchenette (kettle, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee maker, glassware, mugs, plates). They even have some recommendations like restaurants and a walking art tour. Location wise I think Ode is very convenient! Literally next door is a drug store. Dufferin Mall/Walmart is a 15 min walk away. There are many restaurants and a couple bakeries nearby. If you want to take public transport two buses run through Dundas West around the clock. If you have a car, Little Portugal is mainly residential so parking isn't too difficult although you will need to walk a little bit. The temporary parking permit was about $50 CAD for a week (which is much better than $40 per day at another hotel I considered). The only major drawback for me was the noise. The buses run all night. It's almost like the heartbeat of Little Portugal. But that was easily remedied by buying some ear plugs! It's a very affordable and unique Toronto stay. Check out many more reviews on Google!

First of all the businesses operated by some amazing people, and you can tell it's a family business they take great care in customer service. It looks like it's an old industrial building that they renovated into I think about six suites and the property manager and owners son lives upstairs so he's always there to help. Suites are funky and cool, and very comfortable... The bamboo sheets and exquisite mattress were amazing for great sleeps... A great little kitchenette with a fridge and microwave and Nespresso coffee machine where perfect touch is. Awesome rooftop patio as well! Also in a wicked area of Parkdale and little Portugal where there's tons of restaurants and bars and little vintage clothing stores... You're also right on a main tram line in minutes from the Bloor UP station to the airport. We really enjoyed renting bikes as you can for $7 for 24 hours and tour around the city from there.

The rooms are very private so you have your own space to be in. They're clean, modern and extremely comfortable with lovely, comfortable furniture throughout. The bathroom (shared between only 2 units) is spacious, modern and very clean. There is plenty of hot water for the shower. I mention things being modern because the house has a lot of history but the inside is remodeled for comfort. The gardens out back are spectacular. My wife and I took several romantic walks in the gardens and sat on the patio to enjoy the sunset. I wish I had a backyard like this at home. Speaking of things I wish I had at home... the bed was more comfortable than my bed back at home. It's an old fashioned bed with a new, top quality mattress. Also, the sheets and blankets were incredibly soft... the kind I'm always tempted to buy but don't want to spend the money. Very luxurious. Finally, the breakfast is terrific! Orlando, the owner has a little chat with you the night before about what you like and don't like and he does his best to make sure you get a good start to your day with a good selection of hot & cold foods.
