If you are going to Toronto in the winter be prepared for the cold. There is one imporant thing to know, though - there is a PATH network of underground tunnels that allow you to walk around the city and stay out of the cold. The PATH system runs beneath the Fairmont Royal York and really made this a great... more

I saw the New Year in with friends in Toronto and decided to check out this landmark or Toronto hospitality. Overall, the hotel was in better shape than what I was led to believe by some of the reviews on this site, but it could definitely use a facelift. New carpeting and more vibrant colours throughout would help energize things... more

Lovely, it had it's own shops in the basement, and different restuarants to choose from. It's in a very central location. The room we were given at the start had a view of the other side of the hotel so we asked to move and got a room looking out on the street. much better but we could have done... more

My husband and I have been patrons of the Royal York Toronto and in other cities over the years and have never been disappointed. It's nice to know in advance that you are not going to be upset with any services received at an establishment and we never have been. more

Stayed here recently for a company "did not quite make it in time for Christmas" party also hosted at the hotel. Deliberated a bit about whether to stay here or trek out late at night to one of my more frequent boutique hotel haunts. I'm not a stranger to other Fairmonts on business travel but figured if I booked a... more

My family and I stayed there for 3 days while our youngest was at Sick Kids Childrens Hospital. We had great service, but one person stands out and that was our Room Attendant Erin. She was so great that she came on her day off and watched our two little ones so my wife and I could have a few... more

Overall the Royal York is a great hotel. It has good amenities, in a centralized location and still carries a lot of the grandeur of a historic hotel. However I was a little disapointed in the room. It seemed very old and tired looking and was in desperate need of a makeover. Not what I was expecting for such a... more

Stayed on the Fairmont Gold Level. First time doing so and I think I may be getting addicted to the special service. Private check-in and check-out was very convenient as well as buffet breakfast and snacks throughout the day. The room was a standard room on the Gold (12th) floor. I do agree the rooms are a bit small, but... more

I got a "prepaid special" rate of $175 (plus plus) for a night. It's a Fairmont, it has to be good! I tried to check in at 1450.... room not ready, check in time is 1500. Tried to check in at 1505... still not ready! Unlike a previous reviewer, I was offered nothing. I eventually got checked in at 1600........ more
