Only stay if you are almost deaf and blind. We didn't sleep a wink all night because of the noise on Spadina and the noise in the room above. The patron above wasn't a noisy individual, but the creak of the floor was like chalk grating on the board, the sound of him going to the toilet was like a tap a foot away and the toilet flush like Niagara falls. My husband is deaf in one ear and usually can drown anything out by placing his good ear on the pillow, but he refused to stay another night although we had booked four. There was also way too much light coming in our room all night and there was no blind, not even a cheap one! We had to jury-rig the duvet cover over the window since the streetlights were glaring inside. The terrible thing is that they refused to give a refund or even a partial refund and I'm on the hook for $300+ for the worst night's sleep I've ever had in a hotel. They wouldn't even refund the parking even though we only parked one night. It was a hard lesson learned.

I believe that hotels are one area where you get what you pay for and this B&B is no exception. The good thing is that it is located near a subway station, so going to/from downtown was a snap.

As for amenities, guest service, well, the centralized switchboard is no help so Wifi really is your friend.

My wife & I stayed in Room 103 at 219 Spadina for the nights of July 8 thru the 13th. It suited our needs very well. Most of our time was spent with our daughter and her family, so we were only in the room from about 8:00pm til about 8:00 am each night and then had a quick breakfast in the basement breakfast area.
We met people from Scandinavian countries, Australia, and elsewhere there.
Our room was clean & about 12' x 20' with an additional 6' x 7' tile-floored bathroom with a tub and shower, sink, stool and medicine cabinet and soap and shampoo. There was a small fridge and microwave in the room. Besides the queensize bed, there was a small desk with 4 small drawers & 4 cubbyholes above the writing surface. The desk chair had a padded, upholstered seat. There were 2 nightstands and a large upholstered chair, also.
There was a phone and a clock-alarm radio as well as a small 13' TV that didn't get many English stations. There was good lighting and comfortable sleeping under a down comforter and with 4 very good pillows provided.
There were plenty of hangers in closet, but limited drawerspace. The room was sprinklered and had a smoke/heat alarm. It had a very good window Air Conditioner and a wall panel for heating - which we didn't need. There were attractive valances over the window and the bed's headboard. The bathroom lighting was good and well positioned for shaving.
Some other positives:
1- There was a nice small porch in the front of the house, with a view up and down Spadina.
2- The breakfast menu was limited (no cereal), but replenished frequently by a friendly staff person.
3- Parking was convenient just down the street, but off-street in a pre-assigned spot - at only $5.00 per day.
A few other negatives:
1- No hooks in the bathroom.
2- Bathroom mirror set low, so I had to stoop to see the top of my head.
3- The bath vent fan kept up a constant clicking sound.
4- No kleenex were provided.
5- For the week, 4 bath towels were provided, but no hand towels.
6- Daily maidservice, with more towels, was available, but relatively expensive.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we may return in the future.

I stayed at Castlegate Inn in order to attend a convetion that took place at Toronto Convention Centre. I booked the room via email, Fina, the girl who was in cherge of all this was pretty efficient and diligent doing this. I arrived at midnight, keys were waiting for me along with an envelope with all the instructions in order to get to my room which was pretty fine, clean and with enough space and private bathroom. Next day, I checked in, Fina was at de frontdesk. Everything went cool. So, I have to say: nice place, nice persons, nice rooms (fridge, MW Oven, bathroom, TV, closet), subway station just 20 mts from the Inn. Nice neighbourhood (4 blocks away from the University of Toronto, so is pretty much a college neighbourhood). I strongly recommend this place.
