“Great location, good for long-term”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for 2 weeks after we had just moved to Toronto. The bedroom was very spacious, and the living/dining was a fine size, although the kitchen was tiny with very little bench space. Comfortable big bed, pay TV, iron, lots of linens, all the kitchen tools you could need were all supplied. Our only real gripe was that the place wasn't properly cleaned - a maid came in once a week but she didn't actually vacuum (only sweep), and as a result the floor was constantly covered in dust (I think maybe the heating vent was blowing dirt in?) 247 security, which was great. It's also very quiet - we never heard a peep from anyone! The gym was very basic (two treadmills, a few weights), but fine.

The location is FANTASTIC - around the corner from College subway station, across the road from pharmacy, Starbucks, mini-mart, food places, etc. Short walk to the Eaton Centre. Definitely good for long-term rentals, but I'd probably want to stay somewhere a bit nicer if you're in Toronto for a holiday (the building is fine, just a little dated).

Thank you for your review of the Conservatory Tower. We appreciate your positive comments as well as description of areas for improvement.

As the floors are laminate, our housekeeping procedures require the rooms to be mopped. But you may be right that the dust could be coming in from the vents. We are in the process of having this checked out.

We're glad you found the building to be well connected to everything from entertainment, to food, to public transit.

We look forward to welcoming you again to the Glengrove.

Regards,

Brian Pereira

“Better than hotel rooms for group of four or more”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2010
3
people found this review helpful

SIx adults, three couples, stayed in #505 (one queen, two twins) at The Conservatory for 3 nights. The location is wonderful. The #505 apartment was a fine size with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. We knew one couple would be sleeping on the pull out sofa when we booked the place. However, this was the worst pull out mattress ever. We put it on the floor but it was so thin all you could feel were the coils. I ended up on the mattress on the floor and my husband slept on the couch which was very narrow and sloped back. We made it work but I would not recommend #505 for six adults. It would be wonderful for a group of 4 adults or adults and children. Other apartments Glen Grove rents might have better pull out beds.
Over all, this is a great alternative to hotel rooms. We could have breakfast every morning, cook meals if we wanted and plenty of room for all of us to "hang out."
It is about 1 1/2 blocks to subway. We walked most places, within 2 miles.
There is a little restaurant named Somethin' 2 Talk About south on Bay at 78 Gerrard Street West with delicious reasonably priced food. More of a take away than a sit down but there is seating. Open from 8-5 weekdays only.
We paid $199 per night plus $10 underground parking for total stay.

Thank you for your frank review of our property. Yes, while the condo is spacious and airy, it is ideally suited for max 5 people (though technically, it can sleep 6 - 4 Adults and 2 small children).

Taking cue from your review, we are in the process of changing our policy to indicate that the unit is suitable for max 5 adults. We'd certainly like to thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Somethin' 2 Talk About is one of our favorite places as well. Our personal favorite is the Bar Burrito on the ground floor of the building.

We look forward to welcoming you at the Conservatory Tower the next time you're in Toronto.

We spent 5 nights here and were very happy with the apartment although it could probably do with a bit of attention - some of the flooring had been damaged. However, this did not detract from the fact that the apartment was very comfortable and well equipped and also it was in a good location.

“Great Family Option”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2009
2
people found this review helpful

We just returned from a 4 night stay with our 3 kids. Great location right downtown, 5 min. walk to subway. Apartment was a nice size for our family of 5. It was great to have 2 baths and a kitchen. The apartment was clean, some of the furniture is a little tired looking but functional. The beds were comfy. Personal toiletries are provided but not dish soap. Also would have been nice to have coffee filters and or coffee provided. Pool was clean. Exercise room functional. Parking garage was a bit tricky but once the car was parked we just left it. Overall I would say it was a great value and would definitely recommend as a place for families that need a little more space and would like to economize by dining in for a few meals.

“Great value in downtown Toronto”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2009
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed In Conservatory Tower for 4 nights and we were delighted at the value for money in such a central location. Unfortunately we had two days of rain during our visit, but we used the subway around the corner to visit the Ontario Science Centre, Casa Loma and did some shopping in the Eaton Centre to escape the bad weather. Like the previous reviewer, we noticed that the safety netting on the balcony of our condo was ripped but it didn't bother us as our kids are teenagers. We were glad of the two bedroooms and made good use of the kitchen and washer and drier. We didn't get to use the pool as it was being refurbished. Would certainly recommend for families looking for clean central accommodation who don't want to break the bank. Go see Jersey Boys musical as we really enjoyed the show.
