It’s hard to find a good hotel in downtown Toronto - the right price with good amenities and fresh decor. This hotel fits the bill. We enjoyed the meals at the restaurant as well so we didn’t have to go anywhere else for good food. In February, this was a definite plus. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beds are comfortable in the room was a good size.

Liked: Funky decor; comfortable beds; very friendly staff.
Disliked: Heat goes off when you leave room and takes ages to warm up. Breakfast should be included.

Good

Beautifully decorated rooms. Environment and...

Liked: Beautifully decorated hotel and gorgeous rooms. Gorgeous exposed pipes and clever decor. Food was pleasant and staff friendly
Disliked: Nothing the hotel can do, but so unpleasant and intimidating to see active drug use on entering the hotel and as the main view from the window. Saw dogs tied up and presumably owned by the users which was also upsetting. Reception staff seem quite inexperienced, although pleasant

Good

Liked: Lobby decor is beautiful, room spacious
Disliked: Noise and room decor

Superb

Liked: Room was very spacious and well appointed - great use of the space and was also so nice to have 2 comfy chairs. Everyone on staff was very helpful. Hotel in a great location - still very close to downtown but with enough distance that there are more independent shops/cafes/restaurants.

Exceptional

Liked: Well-placed property, near Bloor-Yonge station (connecting lines 1 and 2). Lots of shops and restaurants are within a few blocks. There's a municipal parking building right in front of the hotel - after some parking time they limit the amount you have to pay for, be daytime or nighttime. Staff is nice and attentive. Cleanliness is very good.

Great hotel if you can...

Liked: Lovely hotel with nice rooms in a good location for seeing the city. Extremely close to Yonge-Bloor station, which gets you literally anywhere easily.
Disliked: This neighborhood has become surprisingly (and shockingly) sketchy in recent years. We witnessed open hard drug use and public defecation during the day within yards of the hotel, which was unexpected to say the least. This is not the hotel's fault, of course, but it did color the view on our stay.

Good

Disliked: The park next to the hotel is a local spot for drug users

Superb

The hotel itself is charming,...

Liked: I love the Andore and have been there before. It is a very cute hotel with charm and it is very clean. It used to have record players that were so cute. Staff was really good and helpful. It is an adorable hotel.
Disliked: This year there were many homeless and drug addicted people just outside of it. Trash everywhere and people doing drugs and literally falling over where they were. Made us feel unsafe. That is what you saw going in and out of the hotel. It was very unnerving and sad.
