The Spotlight on Filmores Hotel

Affordable Downtown Stay Steps from Toronto's Music Scene

Filmores Hotel is a no-frills, budget-friendly option in downtown Toronto, located just a short walk from Yonge-Dundas Square and close to some of the city’s best live music venues. With simple furnishings and a retro vibe, this hotel offers a central base for concert-goers who want easy access to the action without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're in town for a show, Filmores Hotel puts you in the heart of downtown—less than a 10-minute walk to major venues and public transit. While the hotel itself is above a gentleman’s club, the rooms upstairs are kept reasonably quiet, especially on higher floors. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, giving you time to settle in before evening shows, and the central location means late-night cabs or rideshares are easy to find after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for somewhere affordable to crash
Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list artist
Couples making a weekend of it with a downtown base
Fans who want a quieter, low-key post-concert vibe (ask for higher floors)
Budget-conscious music lovers wanting to save on lodging in favor of merch and tickets

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’ll find vending machines for quick snacks and plenty of walkable eateries nearby. From fast food to late-night diners, the surrounding area has something for every craving. A mini-fridge and microwave can be added to your room for a fee, great for storing leftovers or prepping quick bites after a show.

Nightlife Options

Filmores has a gentleman’s club on the ground floor, which adds a unique nightlife twist for some guests. For others, the real draw is the hotel’s proximity to downtown Toronto’s bar and club scene. Whether you’re after cocktails, craft beer, or live music, you’re just blocks from it all.

What People Say

Reviews often highlight the excellent location and affordable pricing as top perks. Guests appreciate being able to walk to Yonge-Dundas Square, the Eaton Centre, and local venues. Many also mention the staff as friendly and helpful, especially for a budget property.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are basic and a bit dated, and the gentleman’s club entrance may not be for everyone. Some guests mention noise, so requesting a room on a higher floor is a good idea. There’s no air conditioning, just fans, which can be tough during summer concerts.

The Bottom Line

Filmores Hotel is a solid, budget-friendly option for concert-goers who want a central location close to Toronto’s music venues and nightlife without the premium price tag.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Tammy, Dunchurch

The sheets were clean but the top cover, not so much. No face cloths in the bathroom; sketchiest place I have ever stayed.

Liked: It was so cool; while I was checking in I almost needed a police back ground check to do so. There were ladies coming to the counter, saying their name, leaving $20$, ringing a doorbell and entering "somewhere".
Disliked: I also enjoyed being awakened in the night by a smell I could not identify, later finding out it was someone smoking in the hall.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Shawn, Riverview, visiting Budweiser Stage

Clean hotel. No bed bugs. Awesome friendly staff. Bad neighbourhood but added to the adventure; no A/C in room. I would stay there again.

Liked: Room was small, but clean. No bugs or bed bugs. Staff were awesome and very nice. I stayed on the 3rd floor and had no issues.
Disliked: Bad neighbourhood and sketchy characters outside. It adds to the adventure overall as it seemed safe enough. Was no A/C in our room so it was warm inside.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Jason Mon, 9 June 2025

Room is small. Bed sucked....

Liked: The location was great. Parking lot right beside the hotel was fairly priced.
Disliked: For the price, the lack of amenities, terrible bed, and tiny room was insane. If it had been $100 cheaper it would have been perfectly serviceable as a place to sleep while doing other things in the city, but they've obviously jacked their rates up to just below everyone else in the area.
