Toronto Bed & Breakfast

Plussat: Location, Location, Location. Staying on the Botel in the marina was a great experience. To be in the city but feel like you're not. Walking distance to all major atractions. The area along the water is wonderful with gardens and park like setting. The hosts were fantastic. We stayed in the suite that was roomy and the bed was very comfortable. The boat itself is just beautiful.

Miinukset: There was nothing not to like. Great host, Beautifull boat. Great location.

Plussat: My husband and I just spent 5 nights on the Boatel, it was a truly unforgettable experience. We had a gorgeous ensuite cabin which was spotless and very comfortable. Diane provided us with maps, tour guides, travel passes and lots of useful tips on where to visit and eat etc. Diane’s breakfast were quirky, delicious and always presented with the flair of a first class chef. Captain Ted joined us for breakfast and shared in the banter, he mesmerised us with his tales about his travels in the Bahamas and far flung places. The Boatel was docked in the best entertainment district of Downtown Toronto, close to the CN tower and other local attractions and with a beautiful view of the Toronto Islands. The Boatel was air conditioned and Diane provides an honesty bar which was well stocked. We would definitely recommend this floating delight to anyone wishing to visit Toronto.

Miinukset: There was nothing we didn’t like only having to leave

Plussat: The boatel is in a really good location. Near you find a lot of things to do and visit also. Is comfortable, the place and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Is strange to sleep in a boat but is a good experience.

Miinukset: All is really good. But the only thing is the space of the room. You fit in the room and that’s all. But is really good just to sleep in the nights and do something in the mornings

Plussat: Everything was perfect

Plussat: Diane arranged for us to experience the tall ship solstice dinner cruise. Great music and food but the best part was seeing the city skyline after dark. Fabulous. My gluten intolerance was handled exceptionally well.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Had a fab stay at the boatel...perfect location and perfect hosts

Plussat: Great hospitality and location!

Plussat: It was located in the heart of the city, making many attractions and restaurants within easy walking distance. Diane & Ted were very helpful with suggestions about where to go, what to see, etc. And they were able to provide discount tickets to many things. On top of it all, the breakfasts were absolutely amazing - something new and delicious every morning. We are definitely planning to revisit next year.

Miinukset: It was a minor inconvenience carrying the luggage from the parking area, which was about a quarter mile from the boat.

Plussat: the breakfast was v good, Diane's own recipes. The location was excellent although our taxi driver made it a long trip to the address we gave - the Boatel is just where it says on the web and on the lake side of Queens Quay St W opposite Starbucks. The accommodation was cozy but very comfortable. The icing on the cake were the Blue Jay tickets, and they won!

Miinukset: Not Diane and Teds fault, but if we were to go again we would avoid public holidays, the lake front is just so busy.

Plussat: The owners are very friendly and will provide tips and information on the city. Their hospitality is uncommon in our days. Though, Breakfast was composed of fruits, vegetables and gluten free, lactose free ingredients, according our request, the owners are very flexible.

Plussat: Very convenient and comfortable. Very helpful proprietor.

Plussat: It’s a beautiful residence in a great location right by Koreatown. The facilities are great, Albert is an excellent host and the breakfast is top notch.

Plussat: Very clean and comfy, Albert makes delicious cheese omelettes!!!!

Miinukset: 2nd person to shower ran out of hot water in the morning !

Plussat: Value for mineywhe

Miinukset: You get what you pay for

Plussat: Location, atmosphere, friendliness, cleanliness.

Plussat: Cosy and comfortable room in a nice Toronto style house . Gary, the owner , is a very friendly and careful host. We recommend this place for your Toronto stay.

Miinukset: Everything all right!

Plussat: Our fourth stay at Havinn and just as great as the previous stays. Gary is a friendly host and keeps the place spotless. Only place we stay when we come to Toronto for metal concerts.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The place is in an excellent location! There's off road parking behind the property for $7 which we felt was very reasonable in a city like Toronto! Gary was great, really welcoming and gave us good tips. The guest house was clean and tidy.

Miinukset: The place is a bit basic, but it is cheap so that's what you expect!!!

Plussat: Gary the owner is lovely and lives on site, location is superb for visiting all areas of Toronto. 5 min walk to subway very convenient.

Miinukset: Squeeky floorboards - but it is an old house and very characterful so not really a detraction. A cooker hob in the shared kitchen would be a plus.

Plussat: Access to downtown.

Miinukset: Room, kitchen.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: room, kitchen

Plussat: Good location, easy access to subway. Friendly owner.

Plussat: Kitchen facilities. Bathroom had a range of products and hairdryer. Beds were fantastic Gary!

Miinukset: Too many stairs - but Gary did offer to help with luggage

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: No tea or coffee. No TV. Couldn't check in until 6pm. Heating vent pipes exposed in our room. No towel change. No bedding change. Rude male host told us to go down to the supermarket and buy our own tea and coffee. Feel I deserve some sort of refund it was that bad.

Plussat: Nothing at all.

Miinukset: This is not a hotel. The owner rents the basement of the house. One of the most unconfortable places I have ever been. We stayed there for two days, just to sleep. There were almost no windows, terrible noise and awful bed and pillows. And, surprise! In our second day, we entered the place and found a guy wearing pants! We were never told we had to share space and bathroom!! And the owner missing so nobody to explain that. She was not kind anyway. And What is more, really bad situation, far from city centre and no useful public transport. AWFUL :(

Plussat: Clean, easy digital entrance , the property owner agreed to keep my luggage till afternoon . location very close to a supermarket

Miinukset: WiFi turned off evening time . there was a great noise since morning coming from upstairs because of the owner kids running and playing (but he responded quickly when I complained) . I think this is the only property I have ever seen in many countries and cities that I have been that has a check out after 6 pm !!!!! there are two room in basement one of them was mine and the other was occupied by another guest.owner should add a number or name on the room door to make it easy for guest to recognize his room while checking in .the temperature was cold at night with no ability to turn on heating and it was late to bother the owner and tell him that . he should think of that and make it accessible to guest otherwise he should turn it on . the room has a normal curtain (not blackout) which makes sleep when the sun rise impossible . it should be changed . there is no breakfast offered as claimed in the introduction of the property in booking.com which might be misleading to many although I was fasting and not planning to eat in the morning if there was breakfast.

Plussat: Location, hosts

Miinukset: Basement is low, bed creaky, door jams

Plussat: Location, parking, building accessibility.

Miinukset: Noise on the early morning. Not bad most of the time.

Plussat: we bought our own food and had everything we needed for breakfast. It was reasonably close to where we wanted to stay as well as being close to stores.

Miinukset: The queen sized bed left no room to get into it. As we had a 3rd person in the small room it was a bit crowded.

Plussat: Easy access to all attractions at an affordable price. The guest suite was clean and welcoming with everything you need. Ceiling is a bit low for my 6'3" partner but otherwise we were very pleased. Do not hesitate to book this property.

Plussat: Johann and his wife are very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. The bathroom is quiet new and all rooms are very tidy.

Miinukset: The rooms are in the celler. So the hight of the rooms is low. At night you need to concentrate not to push your head on the way to toilet. We booked a room for 3: doublebed + futon bed. unfortunately the futon bed was only a small air bed. Our son is 14 and he fell out of bed simple by turning at night.
