This is a “hotel” in a questionable neighborhood near to the University of Toronto. The are has a lot of homeless and is dirty. The hotel is a converted Victorian house and therefore has quirks. Everything is old, run down, and shabby (carpet, beds, fixtures, etc). The A/C works well and there is plenty of hot water. If you have ANY mobility issues, do not come here. There are stairs everywhere and is impossible to navigate. Check in was strange. You have to go upstairs to the bar to find the front desk attendant. It’s not in the same building as the hotel. The bar is quite noisy so be prepared for that if you have a room facing the bar. The good thing is that you are just a few feet from the TTC and within long walking distance to the ROM and the high end area (think Louis Vuitton). Would I stay here again? No.

overall a good location.

Un voisinage treeesss bruyant musique très forte jusqu'au petite heures du matin....sinon très bien situé près du tramway je recommande.

Room was clean. Comfortable no ice mmachine functioning but the front desk were nice enough to bring onein

Replace outdoor carpeting on outdoor stairs. They are libellous. Our room was disappointingly small and tight.

I got rushes.

The location is amazing and in a safe area within walking distance of restaurants, pharmacies, etc. The staff was also extremely nice and helpful so props for them! Room however was very disappointing. Carpet was dirty and the place just had an unclean air to it. The bar next door is very loud as other reviews have pointed out. Would only recommend for very young travelers who don’t mind the loud noises and the subpar cleanliness.

Lovely comfortable room with a gas fireplace and small fridge and kitchen sink. Staff were friendly. But there was no hot water for the first 24 hours. I phoned reception in the evening to let them know there was no hot water and there was still none in the morning so I had a freezing cold shower! Also, the wifi didn’t seem to work. When connected, still showed as offline.

Such a great location and cute feel of the building. Everything one needs to enjoy Toronto.

Very cool historic building! Shower needs an update/deep cleaning

Historical architecture. Close to Queen’s Park. No mini fridge. Not wheelchair or walker accessible. Very small rooms.

The Madison is a quirky and lovely old building. Our room was immaculate - only problem was toooooo many stairs! As others have said, people around the building were noisy at night, but we were prepared and it didn't interfere with a very good nights sleep!

affordable parking near by

great location and value

Found it to be a great location to hop on the subway to get around. Easy walking to a couple museums and restaurants. Room was perfect for a couple and liked that the pub was next door for a bite and a beverage. We enjoyed our stay at the Manor.

Check in was somewhat challenging as the desk is not well staffed. We were in the bar waiting to check in and were asked to move as there was a “private” event. It was pouring outside. They promote a continental breakfast - nothing, and once again no front desk staff.

It’s a very interesting old-style hotel. The manager was very kind and changed our room to a suite because the AC had not been hooked up. The interior design is very beautiful. As a boutique hotel, it’s worth staying here. Note that there is no elevator, so keep that in mind if you have heavy luggage.

First I'll list the good: centraly located to TONS of food choices, walking distance to public transportation, very clean room with gorgeous older furniture and our favorite part - our room had a balcony. They allowed us early check in which was a huge help! The restaurant food was amazing. Now let's talk about the major flaws.... Number one unforgivable item - we asked to turn on the AC in our room and I quote "the owner hasn't turned on the building AC yet, so you're SOL for now". I'm a 47yr old woman going through menopause, I hope you (the genius that made this ruling) get stuck barefoot in a minefield of Legos and have to step on each one! Other issues - no breakfast on site until after 11am, the bed felt like an air mattress, you kinda had to throw yourself on towards the middle and hope you didn't roll off or bounce the other person out of the bed. Lovely hot water in the shower but zero pressure. Warning - this place is next to some frat houses and across from an elementary school. Oh and there's construction right across also. All of these were fine with us, but just a heads up if you are looking for a quiet location, this is not it Our stay was not horrible but I will not be back and I would not recommend to family or friends.

We enjoyed our stay at the Madison very much. The room was spacious with lots of windows and a fireplace. The bed was very comfortable, but they do need some thinner pillows for those of us who prefer them. The location in the Annex was perfect as our functions were in Yorkville. We ate at the pub both nights and enjoyed the calamari. Service in the pub was exceptional. Parking was right behind the building, and we could park the car in the driveway for loading and unloading. We were woken up at 1:15 in the morning by the music from the fraternity next door, but it did not last long and we were able to go back to sleep. I would certainly book here again if I return to Toronto.

too cold, heat not working student bar nearby, noisy night
