We stayed here for 3 nights after flying into Toronto to begin our 3 week road trip ending in America. Great place to stay, close to town, nice views on the river. Much more than a B&B, it felt more like staying with friends! Great breakfasts - especially the waffles!

A fantastic experience and a brilliant location (2012). Captain Ted and Dianne are great hosts and prepare lovely breakfasts. We feel so lucky to have found the Boatel, we stayed for 3 nights. The cabins are very small, but perfectly formed and we did have to share a bathroom, but that proved to be no problem. It was perfect sitting... More

The mixture of life on a boat nestled in the heart of downtown Toronto is an opportunity one shouldn't miss. The boat is well appointed and the meals are trmendous. It's a treat to find such an oasis in a large vibrant city with so much to offer. Ted & Diane are hosts that love people!

It was so great to be able to stay aboard Boatel and enjoy the city's without any of the big city hassle! The convenient location allows for walking, cycling, walking access to the major sports and entertainment venues and the island. Add to that the wonderfully prepared food and unique accomodation with the best view of Toronto's skyline and you'll... More

The best. No need to wait for an occasion, this is an occasion. I originally booked for a short retreat and arrived in the most comfortable, relaxing environment. The stay was way beyond my expectations. The accommodations are fabulous, the location on the Toronto waterfront is stellar, within walking distance to any number of restaurants. Dianne and Ted are the... More

If you want to see Toronto, this location is the best. It is about 2 blocks away from the Rogers Centre where the Blue Jays play. Diane and Ted did a wonderful job of making us feel like guests and giving us advice on how to get around in Toronto. The room is a bit small and the shower is... More

I would give it more that 5 stars if I could! W went for a girlfriends weekend, our stay was warm and welcoming. The food was outstanding and Ted and Diane were the best! There is so much to do in the area and convenient to come "home" to the Boatel and chill before heading back out again.

I have been to The Boatel twice! The first time my wife and best friends surprised me for our 5th wedding anniversary! Then, in 2012 I returned the favour and rented the boat for the weekend again with our friends to celebrate our 10th. Needless to say Ted and Diane helped me out with all the logistics and made both... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Enjoy your stay at the most unique Bed and Breakfast in Toronto aboard a 65 foot motor yacht moored in the heart of downtown Toronto. Guests are gently rocked to sleep and wake-up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and a gourmet breakfast surrounded by a post card view of the city and Toronto harbour. Leave the car and walk everywhere, shopping, catch a baseball game with Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre, CN Tower, and restaurants galore... all within a short walk or street car access away. Close to the theatre district with many choices of live theatre and musicals to choose from. Take time to enjoy a hop-on-hop-off tour of the city or rent bike to tour the waterfront. Book the whole boat and ask us about having dinner on our skylounge. Take in one of the charters in the harbour for a romantic evening cruise before returning to your own private yacht. Come back to the boat to enjoy the spectacular view from the aft deck and experience life on the water. Warning: marine life is addictive; your first visit won’t be your last. ... more   less
