I was pleasantly surprised that there is both a bedroom and a spacious sitting room. Also there is a desk to do a little work while on holiday. Naturally, they have wifi and it was fast. The rooms are very private so you have your own space to be in. They're clean, modern and extremely comfortable with lovely, comfortable furniture throughout. The bathroom (shared between only 2 units) is spacious, modern and very clean. There is plenty of hot water for the shower. I mention things being modern because the house has a lot of history but the inside is remodeled for comfort. The gardens out back are spectacular. My wife and I took several romantic walks in the gardens and sat on the patio to enjoy the sunset. I wish I had a backyard like this at home. Speaking of things I wish I had at home... the bed was more comfortable than my bed back at home. It's an old fashioned bed with a new, top quality mattress. Also, the sheets and blankets were incredibly soft... the kind I'm always tempted to buy but don't want to spend the money. Very luxurious. Finally, the breakfast is terrific! Orlando, the owner has a little chat with you the night before about what you like and don't like and he does his best to make sure you get a good start to your day with a good selection of hot & cold foods. I really can't say enough about this place! I had a wonderful time and will be back. It's my go-to place when I'm in the area.

I made a reservation for the weekend of the Toronto film festival on booking.com but by mistake reserved the following weekend. I realized the error when I showed up and they had no room for me. When I attempted to cancel, they still charged me for 60% of the original cost. Considering the nature of the error, and the fact that I actually did show up and want to stay there, it seems that Downtown B&B exploited the situation. They had several rooms available for the weekend that I booked, and so they lost no business from my reservation.

I shared a twin room which can also be made into a double (Orchid room) with a friend. The price was really reasonable. Bryan and Sam the proprietors were really friendly and on hand without being in your face all the time. The price of the stay also included a huge self service breakfast. Trust me the fridge was stacked to capacity. The area did seem a little dodgy at first, but that would not deter me from coming back. It is also very close to the centre and has a lot of public transport nearby if you don't fancy making the short walk into town. They also have a sister B and B called Downtown Home Inn which I stayed in too and would highly recommend.

I stayed on a Friday night because I had an early thing the next day. The booking system is kind of…read moreweird as you have to email them on their website and then they get back to you. They're quick to respond but I would've preferred an online system to book. The rooms are also at different prices. The upstairs are a bit more ($120) than the downstairs rooms ($105). I requested a quieter room so was booked upstairs, but I didn't find out until I got there. Its an extra $15 if you have an extra guest. For the location, I think this is actually cheaper than a lot of airbnbs and you also get breakfast. There's lots of restaurants on the same street and you're also not far (5 minute walk) from Dundas and Spadina where the Chinatown restaurants are. I met Issa at the house to check in and she was really nice. She showed me the house and the room with the codes for the door. The house is really clean and warm. They have a shared kitchen space with a stove and microwave which was nice if you want some snacks late at night. Upstairs, there's a cute little library and tv. For a Friday night, I expected the house to be loud but it was pleasantly quiet. I left too early for the breakfast but wish I had a chance to try -- the menu looked yummy!

The building itself is very secure and you get your own passcode to enter. Parking is at a nearby lot, which by Toronto standards is an affordable $20 for a day, and is enclosed so your car is safe from the elements and most harm. The rooms themselves are comfortable, with a queen size bed, fresh linens and towels, a desk, your own tv, and we even had a couch. The shared bathrooms are nice and clean, although given how popular and large the B&B is with visiting professionals and professors it means that first thing in the morning there is a little bit of jockeying for the shower. But since everyone is friendly they do their shower shift quickly so that the next person can hop in. They also offer a huge selection of movies if you wanted to stay in and watch something in the common area, which is relaxed and comfy. Tess and her husband are fantastic - very friendly hosts, and they have a lot of interesting people stay there at the B&B, including business men, doctors, researchers/professors, and even students for the universities, and of course travelers like ourselves. The breakfast conversations are therefore lively and interesting. The breakfast itself is great, they have bagels and breads with different spreads and cheeses, fresh fruit, cereals, fresh coffee and juices (they had almond milk!!), and they will make you any egg dish that you want. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the city near Chinatown and a bunch of museums and universities, and the street itself is filled with Japanese and a few other Asian restaurants, cafes, and vegetarian friendly places. It's a shame that we couldn't stay longer - but that just means that we'll have to come back to Toronto soon!

For starters, we…read morewere there during lots of festivities and we only planned our Toronto trip approximately a week before our departure date. Pros - great location. Located within walking distance from some major attractions and the metro system - easy going owner - decent price for downtown Toronto - free wifi - free breakfast but don't expect anything fancy! It's a simple self-serve breakfast from the fridge. Cons - rooms could use a little more cleaning and dusting - if you are the type of Asian who was strictly raised not to wear shoes into your home this could be a major problem. (Yes I am one of those!). I didn't like how we had to wear our slippers into the shared bathroom cause it felt dirty if I went in barefooted. This scenario brought me back to my dorm days. Definitely not my fondest memory! This place felt more like a cross between a hostel and a b&b. Not too low standard to be a hostel and not to high standard to be a b&b. Overall, a decent place if you are just looking to come back and sleep and you are not willing to pay more than $100 for a room in downtown Toronto.

Our room was small, but clean, inexpensive, and the AC worked very well. Other guests all seemed on the level and self-contained. No one bothered us, ever. We felt perfectly safe there at all times. We did wait once or twice for the shared bathroom, but no big deal. Free phone calls to anywhere in North America. Free wifi is SUPER fast, best ever. The folks who run the place are helpful, genuine, easygoing, and respect your space. Good communication, and no bullshit. They got us parking permits for the neighborhood, and when my laptop power cord died, Emre (the owner) loaned me one of his. That's cool. The place was beautiful and serene; everything was clean, and it was right around the corner from where we needed to be, close to the subway and a very safe neighborhood. Thanks, Emre et al for a lovely visit to Toronto! http://cozytoronto.com

I think the world would benefit from more places like this, inexpensive accommodations with unique character with private rooms and shared bathrooms. I stayed for a week in October 2012. It was an easy walk to the University of Toronto, where I was attending a convention. I was a single guest, but they upgraded me to a room with a double bed at no extra charge -- maybe that was all that was available. The narrow windy halls and short flights of stairs give the place a quirky atmosphere. They ask you to take off your shoes in the front hallway. This helps to keep things clean. The carpets had some stains, but they were otherwise clean. The bed was comfortable, and they were happy to provide me with extra pillows. I did not encounter any bed bugs. The room was nicely furnished with a wardrobe with hangers and a big desk. The ceiling was low. The walls between rooms were thin, but there was little traffic noise from outside, even with the window open, because the place is set back from the main street. The shared bathrooms were clean, and the showers functioned well. The front desk is not always attended, and the bedrooms are only cleaned between guests, or once a week, in case of extended stays, but that was fine for me. The woman who usually sits behind the front desk was friendly and helpful, though her English was not very good. They have a kitchen and laundry facilities available for guests, which were big pluses in my mind. I paid for just one day first, and then paid for the rest of the week when I decided I wanted to stay longer. They do ask you to pay up front.

It has an old world charm that transported me right into Wright's P&P (one of my all time faves). Beautiful details like sparkly chandeliers (yay!), carved wood window frames, rich upholstered furniture, unique wallart and vintage lamps throughout. Most importantly, SUPER CLEAN. This is huge for me. You remove your shoes upon entering. The place was immaculate -- no dust on any surfaces in our bedroom and common areas (I checked). Bathroom SPOTLESS. And the bed!! Oh gosh, so pillowy and comfy! Sunk right in without it being too soft (and leading to a sore back). Lastly, the included hot breakfast served 8:30-9:30AM: warm scones with various jams, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, cold cereals, OJ, and coffee and tea! Best kept secret in Toronto! Tips: on-site parking in the back for an extra fee (must reserve when booking), free WiFi, A/C and private baths, and cable TV :-)
