I had a very enjoyable stay at Ainsley House and would recommend this B&B to my friends and family. Ruth is an excellent host and made me feel very welcome. More

It was a privilege for my wife and I to stay for two nights in this stately home, dating from 1902, in one of the finest neighbourhoods in the city. Included was a hot breakfast and off-street parking, all for just under $100. Our room had a comfortable queen-size bed, and a most modern bathroom. Breakfast was special, featuring just-baked...

Ruth is a great host, like staying with your favorite aunt, but more hip. My wife and I have stayed here several times while in TO for pleasure and while my wife needed a quiet place to rest. Breakfasts are never boring with the eclectic friendly world guests Ainsley house attracts. More

The Bed and Breakfast is excellent in many ways: it is located in the most beautiful neighboorhood of Rosedale in Toronto, it takes just 5 minutes to walk to the metro station and then less than 10 minutes to the main square. The Bed and Breakfast is a lovely (VERY) big home, there is a lovely sitting area that guests... More

This is about the 10th time I've stayed at Ainsley House, and as usual, it was a great experience. Although Ruth's place is a lovely old family home on a well-treed, quiet little street in Toronto's very pretty Rosedale neighbourhood, it's also right downtown, just a block away from Bloor St and the Sherbourne subway station, and not very far...

We would like to suggest this nice B&B to all whom are going to Toronto for a short or long stay. Ainsley House is located about 2 km away from downtown in a very quiet area and close to public transport facilities. The neighborhood is nice, clean and safe to walk around even during night time and there are plenty... More

Rosedale is the premier neighborhood in Toronto but the Ainsley B and B fails meet expectations. It is tired, shabby and in desperate need of TLC. The host is nice enough but very cool and not relaxed in her role. The rooms are lacking in many amentities. The breakfst is unvaried and uninspired. The room air conditiioners are in need... More

Breakfast at Ainsley House always includes freshly baked bread and freshly ground coffee, and I always try to sit with my guests at breakfast. Conversation is interesting and allows me to get to know our guests as well. Ours is a home-stay Bed and Breakfast and this is indeed our home. Yes, we will have a coat or two hanging... More

We stayed at Ruth´s place for 4 nights with 3 children. Ruth is a nice entertaining woman. Good conversation. De rooms are spacious and clean and the beds are great! Breakfast hour at 8.30 a.s. was a bit to early for us to be honest. We are on holiday.....;-) And a bit poor for us (especially for the children), because... More

Having read over many of the previous reviews, I'm impressed by the comments, the large number of comments with which I fully agree, including those that rate Ainsley House average or lower. The rooms and bathrooms can be small. The house could use a shine here and there. The bed was comfortable but squeaky and the air conditioner was extremely... More

Central Toronto is a series of lovely neighbourhoods most of which are filled with tall, older three story homes. In our home-stay bed and breakfast, our guest rooms are on the third floor. I always ask guests if they can handle the two flights of stairs when booking because not everyone can. Rosedale is a lovely area and houses are... More

My husband and I were staying for two weeks in Aisnley House during the month of June 2011. We love the place. We were very well received by the owner Mrs. Ruth helped us with everything we needed. Instructed us how to get to places we wanted to go. Our room was cleaned daily. The breakfast was delicious, always hot... More
