Top University District Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Royal York

8/10 Good

"Rates were expensive along with Parking. Nice, but I think overpriced. I suppose that’s from being downtown."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Toronto Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean, and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was a bit busy, especially on the weekends, but everything was fresh and tasted good. The customer service was great, and everyone was helpful. The only thing I wish was different is that the hotel was a little closer to downtown Toronto. Other than that, we had a really nice stay."
