Pros:

The hotel is beautiful and the staff are lovely. I was worried as my room was at the front of the building, that the train would keep me up but I'm a light sleeper and I slept through it all which was fantastic.

Cons:

No complaints or feedback.

Very enjoyable
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely but we felt sorry for the poor waiter - he was amazing but run off his feet. Very apologetic but we could tell he was too busy

Cons:

More staff at breakfast

Art-filled, cool and comfy oasis in a perfect location!
Pros:

The hotel was really a lovely aesthetic experience, rather than just a place to sleep. We really enjoyed being there! The abundant art is very cool and the design of the room is great. (The bed was incredibly comfortable, too.) The location is wonderful—we walked just about everywhere. We also appreciated the billiard table on our floor, as well as the balcony one flight down.

Cons:

I liked it all! One thing I'll mention for other travelers: there is a beautiful vintage elevator that requires an elevator operator, which is usually one of the people at the front desk. This was kind of part of the whole experience, and usually just takes a moment, or you can walk up the stairs. But if you just want to press a button and not talk to anyone when you come in, you should probably be aware.

A good value for the money for the location.
Pros:

I like the location and beautiful building. They've maintained the charm of the older building. Loved the elevator, which is manually operated. Staff was also very friendly.

Cons:

In the rooms facing the street, the street noise can be very loud at night.

Heel fijn
Pros:

Heerlijke kamer, fijne mensen, leuke buurt

Cons:

De eerste avond was er een bruiloft met een band precies boven onze kamer. Dat was niet leuk, we konden elkaar niet verstaan. Er was geen andere kamer beschikbaar dus we hadden geen andere keus dan oordoppen in.... Als compensatie kregen we een gift voucher voor het restaurant. Op zich wel ok maar eigenlijk kan je die kamer met zo'n feest niet verhuren

Nice place, clean and cute, but value for the money not sure. I guess it’s Toronto prices at the end of the day…

Too loud to get any sleep due to the karaoke band.
Pros:

It's a beautiful building and the decoration was well done.

Cons:

Cassette, the hotel restaurant, held a karaoke night with a live band that night. There's no sound insulation, and it was very loud in our room until 12am. We were on the third floor, so it must have been even worse a floor below. Also, there was a billiard table in the lounge on our floor which we could also hear in the middle of the night. We got very little sleep which is unacceptable for any hotel, much less one that bills itself as a luxury hotel with a price tag to match.

Great old vibe atmosphere
Pros:

The buildings 'old' vibe and the wonderful lift! Tram (streetcar) so city centre stops outside hotel.

Cons:

Noise of the kitchen?? Extractor fan all night
