Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Toronto
Expert reviews
“The Royal York is the Grand Dame of Toronto’s hotel scene, an imposing stone and copper-roofed structure that’s firmly anchored in a sea of steel and glass. It’s been a star since it officially opened in 1929, a favorite for royalty, celebrities, movie directors and regular folk.”
“Dominating the skyline for decades after it was built in 1929, the Royal York is the Canadian grande dame of the Fairmont chain. Amping up the luxury factor has kept the hotel in step with the times, a storied icon with a modern outlook. Recent guests have included members of the British Royal Family.”

Very good
Paid over $1000.00 to stay here for the night with everything included and there was a bathtub in the bathroom of my hotel room. Update the bathrooms to glass showers unless you have a separate shower/bathtub. For the price of the room that’s unacceptable. Otherwise stay was great.

This was our first stop on the cross Canada trip and the most luxurious. The hotel has tons of history and is in a very central area of Toronto. Great for being walkable to view the city. Comfortable beds and good sized room. The staff was a bit unapproachable but we did not have any issues.

Underwhelmed by facility, but very satisfied with staff.
Staff was absolutely excellent
Hotel is getting run down and maintenance is being overlooked. Stained curtains Furniture worn Very low water pressure Bathroom fixtures look like they are out of a motel I would expect to pay no more than 200 dollars a night for a hotel in this condition not over 500

Disappointing for a staple establishment
The location is convenient relative to key attractions, especially baseball stadium, hockey hall of fame. The service at check-in was exceptional (Mr Nazir was a pleasure)
Parking is $100 / day and not clearly advertised as such (only told at checkout); room was not clean (hair in bathroom, dusty room); facilities are tired - furniture in the room is worn down etc.

Great location

23 July 2025
Nice and cozy
Enjoyed the location.
The security guy prohibited me from taking pictures with my camera, thinking it was too professional. So untrue. Didn’t understand that we could do about the same with our iPhone. I totally disagreed with his decision.

From the smooth check-in to the indulgent turndown service and elevated Gold perks, Fairmont Gold was a standout stay I’
My stay at Fairmont Gold was seamless from start to finish. Check-in was smooth, and the welcome warm and genuine. The turndown service and thoughtful extra amenities that come with Gold really stood out. Breakfast offered a great variety overall, the experience was thoroughly enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back.
I missed my arrival cocktail, but that’s a minor detail also breakfast was chaotic in the lounge.

Location; lobby area and restaurant.
Stuffy air quality in the hotel room.

Very pleasant experience.
Staff was very hospitable and location was great. The rooms and facilities were very clean and up to the standard for 5 star hotels.
The WiFi isn’t complimentary.
14 July 2025
It was a nice stay. Comfortable and centrally located. Just think you should have free WiFi!
It was a beautiful hotel and located right in the middle of everything!
The only thing we didn’t like was that there wasn’t free WiFi. We’ve never been to a hotel that didn’t offer guests free WiFi so we were disappointed in that.

Location, clean rooms and facilities, excellent restaurant and bar, amazing decor.
Bed size should be larger.
7 July 2025
Clean, but some smaller items should be included. Like wifi and a fridge to store your water
Nice room, very clean.
Having to pay for Wifi???? In this day and age??? And having to pay for a fridge separately?? Why?? Ridiculous.

Nice location in Toronto
Renovated rooms
Carpet was wet in the first room I was assigned
23 June 2025
Loved it, will very much be staying here again.
The room was lovely and the bed extra comfy. We also really enjoyed the location of the hotel and how close it was the public transportation (subway/GO).
I feel like the price you pay for the room, wifi should be free. Also, we can understand paying a fee to watch a newer movie on the TV... but there were older movies on the TV and we'd still have to pay over $20 to watch it. It's a bit ridiculous.

Always enjoy Royal York.a little disappointed with the bed - which is not the norm. The staff were wonderful thanks fo
Clean, central
Bed wasn’t that comfortable
21 June 2025
The hotel is well situated in the city if you want to use public transportation.
The location of the property is excellent--just across from the big train station.
Wifi was terrible. Walls are a bit thin when all the rooms are full. Initially, we did not have guests next door, but when we did it was loud.

An extra cost of the fridge, no microwave

Great stay in Toronto, in great location and with reasonably priced parking.
Great location, beautiful building, with numerous amenities, easy to check-in and check-out.
In these hotels there is always a little bit of chaos in the lobby and could be a bit noisy

No insulation in the walls. You can hear the guests in the other rooms. The hotel needs to be soundproof.

The staff are fantastic 😊 Beautiful hotel. Excellent food.
Everything was wonderful except the people in the room next to us started screaming between 3 and 4 in the morning. They were very loud and woke us up. They stopped screaming after security intervened for the second time.

Perfect location but expensive to stay.
The location is superb. It is very close to union station and easy walking distance to sports and historic venues.
The “luxury king room” did not include a refrigerator which we did receive for free when we complained. The sheets on the bed did not fit correctly and we had to remake the bed more than once each night. The “king” bed was not the standard king size.

Impressive hotel in great location.
Impressive huge hotel with lots of areas to enjoy. Best hotel gym I've been so far! Super clean. Very nice personal. Top location, just in front of main train station.
Need to pay for services like wifi or mini-fridge for your own food/drinks. Bathroom could be a bit more new/modern, but not bad at all.
