Heerlijke locatie, snel boeken er zijn maar 4 kamers 😄
Pros:

De accommodatie is zeer smaakvol ingericht, uitstekend bed en goede faciliteiten. De medewerkers maakten echter echt het verschil door hun vriendelijkheid!

Nice hotel, great location, read the fine print!
Pros:

The room was spacious and really lovely. Being able to have breakfast on the balcony over the courtyard was lovely but just know it’s directly across from an office that looks back.

Cons:

I think the hotel facilities being women-only should have been more prominently advertised on booking.com. In the property details would be appropriate or as a caption in the photos of those facilities.

I note we were messaged this by the hotel after booking (and as a reminder after it was too late to cancel). That said, we did book this hotel partly to be able to use the gym facilities during our stay so that was disappointing.

Pros:

Lovely hotel with excellent service. Great rooms and amenities. George restaurant also excellent. Area surrounding hotel a bit rundown with many homeless people around. Not far to walk to get to main attractions such as Hockey Hall of Fame and CN tower

Pros:

The hotel itself is one of the most beautiful we have ever stayed in. But the location looks rough -- it is next to an abandoned parking lot and within walking distance to 2 small tent cities. The reception experience is also not on par with other 4star hotels: you need to be buzzed into the huilding to enter and then you carry your own bags up the steps and to the room (which involves more steps). There was an elevator but we needed a key to access it, and this was not offered to us when we checked in. The room though was gorgeous and luxurious, and we very much enjoyed the huge bathroom with massive tub and the nice balcony overlooking courtyard. My one complaint about the room is the abundance of 2400 lumens lighting -- this is great for relaxing but is impractical when trying to do your makeup in the evening for an event.

DON'T STAY HERE
Pros:

If they are having an event you are not attending you do NOT want to stay here! ONLY 4 ROOMS! When we stayed
the music/drums were so loud for so long!!!

Also, no access to the Atrium/patio because of the Private event. And, they have a pool for woman only!!

The Concierge was TERRIBLE!! When asked to recommend a seafood restaurant he told us Toronto didn't have any.

Lovely room, comfortable bed, overall experience AWFUL!!

Unfortunately, we were there over Civic Holiday and the bar and the restuarant

Pros:

Ivy at verity was amazing! Great staff, great property, such a beautiful hotel!! The surrounding area has a lot of drug use which makes you feel unsafe. But we were not appoarched by anyone and after a few days we felt okay with it.
