Beautiful building in a great location
Pros:

Gladstone is a beautiful, historical building in an absolutely perfect location. Being able to step out the door and onto a tram was awesome, but the location was also immensely walkable. Queen St West is a vibrant and neat area with lots of shops and restaurants, and so close to other cool neighbourhoods with a lot of culture. The bed was super comfy, the layout of the rooms was lovely, and I really liked that the shampoo was non-scented. It was also a neat touch to have little communal hangout spots on each of the floors.

Cons:

I did read reviews before staying and saw that some folks commented on it being loud on the weekends, so I was prepared for this. However I will just reiterate: they had karaoke at their downstairs bar/restaurant until 1am Saturday night, and it was LOUD. We were on the third floor and I could barely get to sleep because the bass was reverberating through my pillow. I don't think this is a critique of the hotel per say - it is an old building and sound travels, and it's nice that they have an eventful atmosphere. But it is definitely something to be aware of if you aren't planning to go out on Saturday night.

Fantastic spot but ask for a quiet room.
Pros:

Location was fantastic on Queens West

Cons:

We booked a king corner which was at the front of the building. It was incredibly noisy and I’d recommend booking a room at the back. There was also a wedding in the Saturday and the noise from guest in the early hours of the morning, say midnight - 4/5am was dreadful and inconsiderate.

Fun vibe, but still functional and comfortable rooms
Pros:

We weren't sure what to expect after reading some of the reviews, but were delighted with our stay at Gladstone House. Our room was clean and bright, with a really functional sitting area with a love seat, coffee table and tv. The room had a mini-fridge and a coffee maker, lots of hanging space and nice touches like a steamer instead of an iron. The sink is in the bedroom, with a separate WC/shower, but it was worked fine. The windows are not very soundproof, so you do hear street noise, but we found the room fan and our white noise app effectively blocked the sound and we slept very soundly.
The hotel has nice common areas with areas for sitting and a pool table. The decor is fun and funky. We had a couple of meals in the restaurant and both very good -- I'm still thinking about their breakfast sandwich, which was one of the best I've ever had.
The area around the hotel is decent, with lots of restaurants and coffee shops. The Queen Street streetcar is right outside the door and it's about a 10 min walk to Liberty Village.

Pros:

Beautiful old building snd location

Cons:

Overall the room was stylish, but not comfortable. I didnt enjoy it - there was no enjoyment with coming back to relax or nap after long days sight seeing or bad sleep night before.. Here's a summary:
The noisy air ventilation system running through the corridors. I asked to be moved because i could hear it inside my bedroom. This was on top of the noisy air con system in the bedroom, which i had to turn off at night. The staff were very helpful with finding a different room.
The windows aren't sound proofed, the noise of constant sirens outside, as well as the tram (streetcar). I didn't have a full nights sleep the full duration of my stay.
The rooms are very sparsly furnished.
My room was a good size, beautiful comfy bed. Sadly no chair in the room, which it could accomodate. A lovely sink area was in the room, which was fine - however a small ledge to put toiletries on would be helpful. No where to sit down for 10 minutes - theres a small coffee machine. A long rectangular box about 2 feet , with opening underneath, with leather padding i assume is the seat. However this is under the tv, quite big and heavy, so the only seating option was the bed.
