TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

We really liked this hotel. The room was lovely and huge. It was clean and housekeeping was excellent. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we’ve had. The service was attentive and professional. The area was accessible to tourists. However there was a real lack of local convenience stores and so buying simple things like snacks and water was difficult.

We spent 5 nights here at the beginning of our honeymoon - we wanted to see Toronto in style, and we were not disappointed! The hotel itself is stunning inside and out - a true five-star experience that feels timeless. Our room was spacious and very comfortable with excellent views of downtown, and of course the service was excellent throughout; we also benefitted from a number of great restaurant and activity recommendations from the concierge team, which were much appreciated. The hotel is perfectly located to explore the heart of Toronto on foot, and we have to make special mention of Reign, the in-house restaurant - we were very pleasantly surprised at just how good our meal was when we chose to dine there one night. Don't stay at the Fairmont without checking it out! We enjoyed the perfect start to our honeymoon courtesy of the team at the Royal York, and we plan to return as soon as we can. Some five-star hotels promise much but fail to deliver; but the Royal York is the real deal. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Lovely old world hotel, obviously updated but still lots of period features which has meant some bits like switches etc of our rooms were dated. However old rooms were also seriously spacious. Staff were very helpful, including concierge with restaurant bookings, reception with a foldaway bed and housekeeping staff friendly greetings.

This hotel combines old world grandeur, friendliness, classic good manners, and modern ambiance in a total package. It’s one of the most exquisite hotels I’ve mooted staying at in the world. It reminds me of The Savoy or the The Conservatorium (in NL.) Special shout outs to Meg (who checked me in twice after my flight cancellation!) Anthony at the valet, Gee in housekeeping and everyone on my floor, and Ryan the housekeeping manager. Fantastic staff, pristine historic hotel and AMAZING FOOD! I’d give you ten stars! I most peak at your garden on the 14th floor before I leave!

I stayed here with my son and we have stayed at many Fairmont hotels and this one is by far the friendliest and the attention to cleanliness and details is second to none. Everyone was friendly from the staff at the front desk to the lounge, even the women taking care of our rooms. Exceptionally helpful and kind the whole way. We will be back!
