Gladstone House

Great hotel, great location

Liked: Room was very comfy, great blackout blinds, comfy bed and pillows, fun white noise machine and quiet despite main road outside. Staff generally super friendly. Great location with tons in the local area. Bar was really nice, the manually operated lift was cool. Fun touches around the venue like a pool table for use on the 3rd floor.
Disliked: Bathroom was lovely but the floor got super wet thanks to ineffective drainage so that was a bit inconvenient. Bath mat drenched after one shower. We also weren't made aware we needed to book for breakfast, so when we took seats in the bar in the morning expecting to order, we got barked at by the barman for not having reservations. That made us feel uncomfortable, so we went elsewhere to eat.

Very good

Liked: Always ask for a back room or a side room here as the front room are lovely but can be loud. My room was really really nice. Really nice person on the desk. They are generally nice folk on their front desk in my eperience. I've stayed here a fair few times.
Disliked: nothing really. All good.

Quiet, Historical, Funky Art Deco...

Liked: Funky and FunExcellent serviceQuiet room and clean and comfortable bedNice showerNespresso machine in hallway and kettle in roomGreat location for shops, restaurants and the Parkdale Collegiate Insitute only 1 km that we attended for a GraduationLOVED the elevator and history of the place, artistic renderings in rooms with history and, photos throughout hotel. There is a nice lounge area where you can play chess and another where you can play billiards.Great wi fiPaid $411.50 for one night. And that’s with a discount. A bit pricey but so worth it for the fun and convenience it offered us.
Disliked: Pouring rain when we arrived, so parking not that convenient being about a 3 in walk away at a cost of $30 p.n.As for the room it was sparse. It lacks enough power plugs, particularly at each side of the bed when you have to charge devices. Nice king bed but with only one shelf on one side and one bedside light.No comfortable armchairs or a sofa in what is supposed to be an upgraded room. Just a wooden bench under the TV.

Bad

Disliked: There was a wedding. This caused us not to be able to access room service or the bar which we planned on using for the night. Air conditioner broke. For the money I paid - and being forced to find somewhere else to eat and get a drink- it was ridiculous.

Exceptional

Liked: Well thought out, cool stylistic touches, spacious and comfortable room.
Disliked: Nothing I didn’t like!
