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.”

This hotel has a wonderful lobby and is perfectly situated for anyone arriving by or departing by train. The rooms are spacious, and the gym is excellent.
Nothing comes to mind.

The staff was very helpful, the receptionist even drew a map for me, she was amazing!
It was a great stay, quiet room, complimentary water in a glass bottle, wonderful shower and comfortable bed. The little details added up like the soap dish in the shape of a bathtub, the digital key and the physical key in wood.
I couldn't find the room but a cleaning lady helped me, she was very kind.

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.

Clean, central
Bed wasn’t that comfortable

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.

The Best Customer Service for a Beautiful Hotel
I loved how incredible the staff were! Their execution was precise and friendly. I was celebrating my significant other's birthday and I requested a bottle of sparkling wine and they delivered perfectly! The hotel even wrote my girlfriend a lovely birthday card, brought some of their house sparkling wine on ice and some delicious macarons. Truly spectacular service all around! Also, the building is a historic landmark in Toronto, let alone Canada. Just walking around the hotel is a treat, reading the historic plaques about the building. It's a beautiful marvel of engineering.
Just a tad pricey in my opinion. I understand this hotel is not for every class of person so if you're a casual traveller and want to stay here, definitely save for the occasion and budget.

Great location. I will book again when I return to Toronto
Excellent location, directly across from Union Station. I stayed for 6 nights. On the second night, there was noise from a party in the next room. Security intervened quickly but with limited effectiveness. The next morning, the front desk staff moved me to a quieter upgraded room without me even requesting it. This exceeded my expectations.
During the first days, someone frequently knocked on the door. Housekeeping came before 9 a.m., and staff came to restock the minibar. I quickly learned to keep the "Do Not Disturb" sign up whenever I was in the room, which solved the issue. In the first room, daily cleaning was excellent. In the second room, located in another wing of the hotel, the service was good but not as thorough.

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.

Elegant room, lovely, caring service! Was a pleasure.
I booked my parents’ stay for their 50th Anniversary. They were graciously granted a room upgrade and complimentary wine and a beautiful tray of snacks. We dined as a family for breakfast one of the mornings and it was stellar. Fresh food and caring thoughtful service.
Everything was marvelous. Truly 5 star service! Nothing was amiss.

Relaxing and enjoyable.
It was a wonderful experience overall. The room was clean, the hotel was beautiful, the check in experience was so smooth and enjoyable. They were flexible as I arrived early and they were able to accommodate an early check in and even upgraded me to one of the newly renovated rooms.
No vending machines for late night snacking lol

Location was ideal. Was able to walk everywhere and there was a Hop on/Hop off stop very close as well. Directly across from Union station.
Upcharge for internet, no refrigerator in room, and pillows were way too soft But none of that could take away a single star.

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.

Memorable experience in 5* hotel with 100 years of history
Ideal location in the middle of downtown, close to main sightseeings. Fantastic common area, perfect breakfast. The hotel has about 100 years history, has been visited by English Queen Elizabeth and King Charles many times, by American Presidents, and many famous celebrities.
Pretty cozy room for two in 5* hotel

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.
