Victoria's Mansion Guest House

The good: The area is cute and historic. Close to transit and lots of options for food and drinks around the area. 10 min ($12) Uber ride to union station. The outside of the building is beautiful. Lots of camera and secure entry so I felt relatively safe. The lady at the check in was nice and informative. The bed was comfortable.

The bad: the description said it was “ground level” It was in fact in the basement. The renovations are poorly done. For example, Someone cut the laminate flooring around a piece of caulking instead of cutting the caulking. The window was small with bars on it. In case of a fire, I would potentially be trapped with no way out.

The ugly: the cleanliness was terrible. I have pictures of old pieces of something on the floor. (Looks like food- but could be anything) there was strange black hair all over the place. The side table had some visible gunk on it (it could have been wiped down) The TV converter was covered in gunk too. There was some kind of splash marks (some liquid of some sort) splashed up the casing outside the bathroom. Oh, and there was a lighter and some garbage under the bed. See photos.
I slept in my clothes.

Beautiful old renovated house. Very clean and quiet room with a comfortable bed. Bathroom with a walk-in shower. Good WiFi. Interesting area of the city. Very rainbow flag friendly. Friendly and efficient front desk staff.

Typical house, very small room, it was difficult to put things down, even the bathroom with shower you couldn't even get in and for the cup I slammed on the sink

When I entered the front door, the smell of dampness and oldness filled the entire hallway. The single rooms are very small.

We had a very nice experience there! Check in and check out are really easy, also you can pay a supplement for a parking space which was super helpful. The place truly has a Victorian feel, I see some people criticize the rooms and say they're "old", not in a good way, but I disagree. People tend to romanticize Victorian style and this hotel truly gets its. Has AC which is great for warmer months and the bed was comfortable. The location is great too, you are less than 5 minutes away from a subway station! The neighborhood is super pretty as well. The few notes we had were the bathroom light being a tad noisy and that some spaces could have been more clean, besides that it was all good and we would definitely stay there again. Thank you Victoria's Mansion!

C'est la 1er fois que je mets un avis aussi négatif sur un hôtel. Le tarif est exorbitant pour la qualité de la prestation. Les chambres sont vieillottes et n'ont pas été rafraîchis depuis très longtemps.
De plus faites très attention cet hôtel est infesté par des mille patte! JE ME SUIS FAIS MORDRE PENDANT MON SOMMEIL!
A éviter absolument!

I’ve stayed there in a single room
in august 2013 and loved it and staff was very friendly. I would love to visit back someday. I was even so happy that I’ve put my trash, bedding and towels nicely at the end of my bed with a tip ;)

Our room is really nice and clean and comfortable. In our room there is a sink, microwave and oven also fridge. Its like you rent small apartment. But the problem on our room is the window. There's air coming from outside by the window. And its directly from your head.

The street of this place is really close to restaurants, bars, pharmacyand liquor store. Walking distance

Cute little inn. Nice staff. Rooms are small, but has everything you need and is in close proximity to everything. Would book again.

This has become my go-to place to stay in Toronto when I need a clean and affordable private room in an excellent location. I would totally recommend this place when traveling solo in Toronto and you just need a place to sleep. The only disadvantage about this guest house is the poor wi-fi, so don't count on having any zoom meetings.

To note: check-in times with staff are limited to a couple of hours in the afternoon. If you're checking in late, you will be e-mailed instructions about how to do so.

Awesome location and wonderful, helpful staff.
The room however, was awful. I wouldn’t go back. Extremely musty and hot with no way to air it out. Air con was Saran wrapped and tv was unusable. (Wouldn’t turn off all the way so had to sleep
With it on as you are under instructions not to unplug anything) Bed was hard.
With some maintenance issues are fixable.

The owner went out of her way to make sure that we were happy. We really appreciate her interest in us being satisfied customers.

Not good! Keep in mind, I had the best room in the "hotel", but should not be called a hotel.the front desk staff are not on premise and you have to call for service. The one staff had no knowledge of the area, had not heard of the eaton center or about the trains or subways. I asked about safety and she had no idea.the area itself is not very safe but I felt safe inside since there is a combo lock for first door, a key for second door and a second key for room. THERE IS NO TELEVISION.the owner has a note in the room that the TV is "sensitive" but in truth, it just does not work. I came back to hotel at 11: 00 pm and just wanted to rest and watch some news.super annoying to deal with a non working tv and no staff on premises to help and to discover even if staff was there, the tv system simply does not work.it was on when I came in the room and could not be shut off at first! She then blamed me for hitting a wrong button. (that was most frustrating at the lie) Nope! The entire system does not work and they know it but choose not to fix it.very frustrating.the other issue was the "King bed" is two very lumpy twin beds pushed together and no fitted sheet on the bottom, so sheet moved everywhere to bare mattress. Most uncomfortable night.felt like those pull out thin beds but with thicker mattress.room is bare bones but does have microwave and fridge and was clean.bathroom has zero space just pedestal sink with tiny shower. The location is amazing near bloor and yonge.

Magnifique. On arrive tout juste à 18h, très bon acceuil. On parle de notre problème car impossible de trouver un parking autrement qu'en payant par Visa, sans attente elle nous propose un parking arrière vraiment moins cher en cash, avec même possibilité de laisser la voiture plus longtemps car pas beaucoup de places occupées. Service aux petits soins, encore merci.

Très bien situé, en plein centre mais dans une ruelle calme. Chambres spacieuses équipées de cafetière et bouilloire (un grille pain serait par contre bienvenu) et petit réfrigérateur. Cadre très agréable.

Room was tiny, but functional, the shower head was making weird noises when the water got hot. Overall, I would probably come back if I'm in town again.

Location is good for walking to AGO and university. Staff are friendly. Room is clean enough, but not new, or in any way cute or Victorian themed, but that's not surprising considering the reasonable room rates. Would return if location was the main attraction.

We stayed in room #13 on the second floor. Big bed (two beds pushed together). The room is spacious and clean. It has a TV, fridge, coffee machine, and wifi. After 6: 00pm, there is no reception. However, they sent us a clear and easy instruction on how to check in and get our room keys. The hotel is located near Church Street where you can find a lot of great restaurants and shops. Price is reasonable for a night. Will stay here next time!

Located on a quiet street but just a short walk to where the action is happening. The rooms are charming. Big comfortable bed. Fridge, coffee maker. Cups, plates and cutlery. Even wine glasses. I highly recommend this place.
