Hello, Trip Advisor readers! Two years ago, I stayed at this hotel and praised the "good vibrations" I felt throughout my stay. Last weekend (August 29th-30th), I made a return visit to Howard Johnson Downtown while attending the Cat Show at the Canadian National Exhibition, and I just wanted to comment that I enjoyed another great stay! I noted some... more

DO NOT book this hotel online because the reservations are UN-REFUNDABLE. Staff is rude and the policies are sketchy. I have not even stayed in this hotel but have been trying to cancel my room due to an personal emergency that has resulted in me canceling my trip to Toronto. At first they transferred me to the central Hojo line-... more

Good location. Cheap. Staff very helpful and welcoming but hotel accommodation in need of total refurbishment. I didn't dare take off my shoes to walk in bare feet on the carpet, peeling wallpaper, ancient cheap furnishings - possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. more

Last minute decision to stay in HOJO rather than a B&B because i just didn't have the patience for shared breakfast talk. On my own and better things to do ! I found this to be relatively affordable...bought on orbitz I think, and it ended up being 73 bucks a night. The staff is 24 hours and helpful, parking is... more

We paid Cdn $80/night plus tax and stayed two nights on a delightful weekend. Location is tops--Bay & Bloor area. If you don't know Toronto, the 4-Seasons and the Hyatt are on the next block, tony condos border it on all sides and the Ferrari/Maserati showroom is next door. Yet despite the expensive location and low price, we got a... more

The HoJo Yorkville is the worst hotel that we have stayed at in Toronto. Thank goodness for wallpaper in the halls - it's the only thing holding the plaster on, on the 7th floor. The tiles were falling off the wall in the bathroom. The carpet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The mattresses are the old style... more

I'm from Toronto and only stayed at this hotel because of a problem our city had with a water main break that left a quarter of the city with no electricity and no heat on one of the coldest winter nights ever. I have slept in many hotels and even motels over the years but never like this. I was... more

I stayed at this hotel on dec 27/08. I am orginally from Toronto, i have stayed at many hotels around the world. I paid $89 canadian for one person in a room with a double bed. The hotel is located just one block from the subway in the heart of downtown, great location. The lobby is older but pleasant, the... more
