Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Facilities were diverse and plentiful, with a funky cafe which morphed into an evening cocktail bar and live jazz lounge. Also a large common area, including an outdoor section, laundry and showers, etc. Rooms were not overcrowded.and pleasant, although a bit stuffy for lack of ventilation. Skylight allowed early morning light into the room, not a useful thing in my opinion.
Negative: For the high price of a bed, they could have been better equipped; say with curtains, a light, a shelf of some kind for personal stuff. I spent a few months recently in Spain and France, and I thought those countries were expensive..., but The Only in Toronto had them all beat. Not the greatest value, in my experience.
