“Benefits of a Boutique hotel but prices of a Bed & Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Toronto can often be a mix of big chain hotels and expensive boutique accommodations. If you are looking for a great alternative you should check out IndexG Bed and Breakfast. I stayed there a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised.

Location, location, location. If you are looking for a spot that is in the trendy West Queen West area of Toronto near that is close to the Posh Gladstone or Drake hotels then this is your budget conscious alternative. It is one block north of the Gladstone hotel which makes the amenities of Queen Street West easily in reach along with the trolley cards, buses and taxi routes.

Style and Uniqueness. The IndexG has 5 rooms that are each different. With a cool art gallery on the mainfloor with work from Toronto artists and the photographic work of the owners many pieces have moved from the Gallery into the hallways and rooms of this B&B giving it an eclectic warm feeling like coming home. Breakfast is served in the art gallery each morning and is a nice continental spread. Sip your morning coffee while checking out the artists’ work.

Value and Friendliness. The B&B is run by hosts Holly and Lee and they could not be any more welcoming. Friendly, helpful and very accommodating they made my experience during my stay. They helped me arrange an airport taxi and took interest in the work that brought me to town. At half the price of the Gladstone with three times the friendliness you can’t ask for any better value.

Finishing Touches. On top of this, the beds were very comfortable, rooms were spacious, modern décor adorned the rooms and a welcome book covered off on all the details that you still pondered. Free Wifi, cable tv, large tub and shower and coffee down the hall were all the finishing touches I needed for my stay. What more can I say but I will definitely be back to stay here again. Enjoy the few photos I snapped during my stay. Say Hi to Holly and Lee for me if you choose to stay.

Room Tip: Ask for Room Genki. It is large and has a big window that lets a lot of light in.

“Home away home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Our home away from home when we come from Montreal to visit Toronto. The place is in a great location near trendy Toronto downtown area, but in a quiet surrounding. It attracts very nice clientele that we often chit chat with while having breakfast at the downstairs photo gallery. The owners are very friendly and they keep the place very clean and in good condition. The price goes well with the overall coziness.

“Perfect Place to stay in Toronto”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

My husband and I had never been to Toronto before, but after some research we decided that West Queen West would fit our needs best due to the fact that we like to stay away from super touristy areas. The location couldn't be better with the streetcar right at the end of the street. The area is also full of great shops and restaurants.

The Bed and Breakfast itself met and exceeded all of our needs and expectations. Besides location, the rooms were spacious, comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was delicious and just what we wanted in the morning. The breakfast included breads, some fruits (including kiwis one morning, my favorite!), cereals, yogurt and coffee and tea. Enough to power us through for some sightseeing around the city.

The owners were incredibly hospitable and helpful. I can't say enough great things about this B&B and would definitely stay again.

“Lovely place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

We didn't arrive at Index until about 1.15 am (our flight had been delayed for over 4 hours) but the owner, KS Lee, waited up for us and made us feel very welcome.
Holly, his wife, was also very welcoming and helpful, when we met her at breakfast the following morning. She provided maps of Toronto and lots of travel tips, as this was our first visit to the city.
A streetcar goes from the road end into the centre of Toronto and we also found it fairly easy to get to Union St Station for a trip to Niagara Falls.
There was no charge to use the phone and taxi recommendations were provided.
The only slight negative was the limited breakfast choice.
On the whole, this is a lovely place to stay, when visiting Toronto.

“Nice Place, Nice People”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2011

This is the kind of place like to find on my travels. A bit unusual and a refreshing change from the Holiday Inn's and other chains. Good value too. Nice enough room and breakfast served in the owners gallery, all very pleasant. I would much rather see my cash go to hard working people in this kind of place rather than giving it to faceless corporates.
