I want to go back

Pros: The attention to detail oin the room was very much appreciated. We loved the robes and the bathroom, the bed was fantastic, I loved the color scheme, the room was a great size and I love the neighbourhood Staff were accessible and friendly We miss the Drake!

Cons: We weren't sure about the yellow lamp on the desk that had no cable, or the off-kilter flower on the top shelf. Also a place to hang clothes would be good. Welcome note got my name wrong and was super generic which feels neither cool nor welcoming - but the experience after that was fabulous

Williams 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Room style, all the amenities, room size and comfort, bathroom size.

Cons: It's confusing how guests access or book the on site restaurants and there is extremely loud music being played early in the morning which can be heard from some rooms which wasn't ideal.

Will stay again. Bit far from city center but convenient to get to the airport

Pros: Room was decorated really well and bed was comfortable. Loved all the toiletries.

Cons: Would have liked a kettle in the room as I don't drink alcohol. Staff accidentally charged me again for the room when I checked in even though I had prepaid on booking.com. This was resolved very quickly though by another member if staff and refund came through promptly.

Looking for a stilish, hip, young hotel? The Drake Hotel might be your choice.

Pros: I found the furnishings of the room and the hotel very appealing, very artsy. Nice thing also with the tablet that the hotel provides in the room. The Drake Hotel is located not far from Toronto Downtown, so you could reach many of the places worth seeing even on foot within 30 min.

Cons: I had a room that faced the street, which was at night quite busy as the hotel is located in a street with a lot of pubs, restaurants, shops (very nice atmosphere though). On the other side of the street there is a club/restaurant, which was open during my stay of 5 nights twice until 5 a.m., with music, people chatting outside etc. Was tough to find sleep during those nights there. I also had the feeling that the walls in the hotel could have been a little thicker. Since the hotel is in a slightly older building, there is no elevator, but a nice employee helped me with my suitcase. It wasn't easy to find a hotel in Toronto in first place. Considering the location and the art vibe of the hotel, I still find it a good choice, but am not sure if 190 bucks a night are worth it. Last but not least (this is not a criticism, just an annotation): I found the structure of the hotel a little confusing because the reception of the hotel was located in a different part of the building. To get to my room I had to pass the restaurant of the hotel (or alternatively outside on the street). At \
