King Blue Hotel Toronto

The rooms were large and comfortable. We had 2 queen beds and three people and had plenty of space. The hotel and its facilities were clean and new. The restaurant/bar downstairs was exquisite.

The location is perfect for any and all tourist activities. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The hotel itself was much nicer than we expected having looked at the photos online and the reviews. The fact that the rooms are quite large is a real bonus when travelling with the family. We also took advantage of the gym and the pool. My younger children weren't interested in any of the food on offer, so we didn't have breakfast in the hotel. Its a fairly grownup menu. Furthermore, the staff bent over backwards to ensure we have a great stay. They provided extra blankets, there was an issue with our bill that they spent ages going over with me (the problem turned out to be with my British bank and not the hotel at all). There was no blame, or frustration, we worked together to resolve it and they were very professional. One day when there was as a surprise rain storm, they even had umbrellas to lend us at the front desk. Really great week spent there.

The front desk staff, Julianna, who checked us in was SO amazing! My friend told her it was my birthday and Julianna had a hand written card and a desert sent to our room! She was so friendly and made some great recommendations of places we shpuld check out. Would definitely come back for staff like this! It was clean and cozy. We loved the couch in our room.

All Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The location of our hotel with respect to activities we participated was convenient and the street cars were easily accessible and served to keep us warm when out and about at night. We found that the Nespresso coffee capsules and maker in our room to be a really pleasant surprise because the coffee was so good! We also really enjoyed the L'Occitane toiletries and found that to be an enjoyable bonus. The lobby was also beautifully adorned with holiday decorations which served as a nice backdrop for family pictures.

The location is outstanding. You walk out of the hotel and you're in downtown Toronto, eight minutes from the BlueJays, 10 minutes from the lake, 15 minutes from the Art Gallery (Which is excellent), the only walk we took that was a little too long there and back was maybe the University/ROM. It's a beautifully finished hotel that somehow lives in a culdesac and bang in the middle of town. Ice cream place across the road (it's just a cupboard so you have to find it) is great, you should check it out.
