Bond Place Hotel, Toronto

Advantages: Close to everything, inexpensive
Disadvantages: None to name

When my friends and I decided to go to Canada this past June we booked through an agent and this was the hotel we were given. We had no idea what to expect or where abouts it was but were pleasantly suprised at what we found. Upon arrival you first notice that this hotel is a pretty ordinary looking building on the corner. The porters are very quick in assisting you with your luggage and are very efficient in getting them to your room. The reception ...
...at checking us in and getting us our room. In total there are around 14 floors, and three lifts that can be used to get to them. There are also stairs if you prefer to walk. We were slightly worried about how the room would be as there were three of us sharing, and therefore we expected to be given a fold away extra bed. Therefore we were happy to find that each room consists of one double bed and two singles (which would be great for families). ... Read review

Advantages: Great location and room views
Disadvantages: Lack of free internet access (if guest does not have a computer)

Myself and my family have traveled to Toronto twice in recent years and of the second times we decided to use this hotel. It is a mid-rise building located in the centre of downtown Toronto close to the Eaton Centre and Dundas Square. The hotel's location really is its best feature - in my opinion you really couldn't be in a better position (most attractions such as the CN Tower are within walking distance). The room sizes are good with great views ...
...The hotel reception staff were helpful and the reception stays open late which is helpful (for example we arrived at the hotel late at night).

Advantages: Safe, friendly and exciting
Disadvantages: none

...I first visited Toronto in 1998 on my honeymoon and fell in love with the city. We stayed at the Bond Place Hotel on Dundas which we found to be clean, friendly and central. It is two minutes walk from the Eaton Centre - a shopper's paradise. There you can browse in Eaton's department store, shop till you drop in chain stores, craft shops and fancy goods stalls. The food hall is excellent for variety and value with foods from all over the world at excellent prices - Brits will be surprised at how cheap it is to eat in Toronto. One of our favourite eateries was The Mandarin Chinese Buffet Restaurant on Younge and Eglinton's Canada Square Complex (take the underground to Eglinton and it is just outside the station). This is the most amazing buffet I have ever been to with a huge selection of chinese and world foods. Choose from... Read review
