Top University District Hotel Reviews

Toronto Don Valley Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"Very Good price and location in central Toronto Clean rooms and friendly staff Small outdoor pool with lounge chairs is a nice escape with poolside drinks available Breakfast buffets and bar food available"

Crowne Plaza Toronto North York by IHG

8/10 Good

"We added a day to the stay and the hotel staff conveniently found us a room and moved our luggage. Place was spotless. Room coffee was pretty bad and if there was a common coffee area I could not find it. Nice grounds. It has more of a suburban location feel than downtown. Getting to downtown locations can easily take 45 minutes due to notorious Toronto traffic."
