Wunderbares Preis Leistungsverhältnis bei Top Lage
Pros:

Sehr bequeme Betten. Wunderbar geschlafen. Liegt direkt am ROM und mitten in Yorkville

Cons:

Nichts.
Wenn man was finden will, würde ich sagen, dass das Frühstück ein bisschen nachgelassen hat.

Piacevole soggiorno
Pros:

Bellissima camera, molto spaziosa, con vista sulla città. Ottima pulizia. Caffè, tè e tisane presenti. Possibilità di parcheggiare a pagamento, ma tariffa molto onesta, essendo il parcheggio coperto. Colazione buona e abbondante con possibilità di scelta dal menu dei pasti inclusi se sia ha prenotato con questa opzione. Ho apprezzato la possibilità di avere opzioni anche io, essendo vegana. Buona posizione in un quartiere molto elegante, non troppo distante da CN tower. Personale molto gentile e disponibile.

Cons:

Nulla

Stylish With Loveable Details
Pros:

An elegant hotel in an elegant neighbourhood, close to the ROM and close to two subway lines... A wonderful bar for casual dining...
Our stylish room was huge with a sofa corner, two comfortable beds, lots of storage (closed wardrobe) and a spacious bathroom (fluffy towels, good water pressure). Cosy temperature. Friendly staff... I loved the paintings in the lobby and in our room.

Cons:

Regrettably we had been assigned an atrium room for our 4-night stay which never saw the sun. (I did not make a fuss, though.) Uneven room numbers may be the better choice (?). The hair dryer does not match the hotel rates.

The suite was genuinely large and very comfortable for a week with family.

Cons:

A happy return to a friendly place
Pros:

My third time at the Yorkville Royal Sonesta - which already shows that I really like the place. First and foremost, the staff is wonderful: friendly and very helpful. I had breakfast included, and the ladies in the restaurant who helped me (Katherine and Josie) were amazing: so attentive and friendly. I had submitted a bid for a room upgrade and got it. The room was super spacious (just a bit darker than the ones I had previously). I particularly liked the bed.

Cons:

I honestly can't think of anything. Well, maybe one detail: there was no ceiling light in the room; in order to make the room bright, one has to turn on four different lights.

I needed to find a hotel on a busy weekend and they were helpful and welcoming.
Pros:

The staff were lovely and the breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. There is a nice outdoor patio that unfortunately was not open. My room was clean, nicely decorated, the bed linens lovely. The lighting was ambient and well done. There was good storage and it was very quiet. The Heating and AC is also excellent.

Cons:

I wish there was a bathtub. I like to have a hot bath every night and the shower was somewhat challenging.
