  I've been to this hotel twice, both times for Nuit Blanche. It's in the heart of Toronto so it was perfect for walking around then going back for a break. The walls are very thin and you have to sign a paper saying you'll be quiet which is fine. The rooms are small! They looks bigger in the pictures so don't be shocked when you get your room. The staff is nice and friendly and get things done quickly.

  The hotel has a very European feel, and is a great place to stay for business travelers on the go. The rooms are compact, but offer enough space to move around, and the beds are fairly comfortable. The hotel offers wall dispensers for bathing amenities, such as hair product and lotion, which is definitely a first for me, and the product provided works well if you don't want to use your own care supplies. The staff is also quite friendly, and while the restaurant downstairs is somewhat pricy, the quality of the food is fairly good relatively speaking. The only downsides of the hotel are that the walls seem fairly thin, meaning you can often hear people moving about the halls later in the evening, and there was an odd drip from my bathroom ceiling on the second day, though it resolved itself fairly quickly.

  The smallest hotel room I have ever seen, barely big enough for a queen size bed. The washroom is so small there is no place to put even a small toiletries bag. Bed is comfortable enough. It's clean. Way too expensive for the size of the room. Internet is so slow even simple web pages do not load. Not acceptable.

  The rooms are very small but the beds are super comfy!! This being my second stay at the Strathcona, I was aware that the walls are thin and was pleased they have implemented a no noise policy. Unfortunately the people across the hall didn't get the memo!!! Disruptive at midnight and again at 5am. Not impressed to say the least but was very impressed by the response from the clerk at the desk! Kind, courteous and dealt with the problem immediately. Job well done, Denver.

  Good value, fair price, great location - what more do people want for the money? I'm really surprised at some of the reviews. I stay downtown at least 2 times a month for work and have stayed at all the major hotel chains, from the pricey $500-$1000 a night ones down to the budget hotels. This week I waited too late and didn't want to book an outrageously expense room at nearby 4&5 star options who were price gouging, so I booked for $149 at Strathcona. For the price, it far exceeded my expectations. It was clean, employees were polite and I had no issues. I'm quite certain the reviewers on here that feel like it was too small or didn't have enough amenities really don't understand downtown Toronto hotel pricing. Again - for the money, and in comparison to nearby options, this was great value. If you're on a moderate budget - this is a great place. If you really want full service, full amenities and large room, expect to pay more than twice as much at the nearby 4 and 5 star hotels. Will stay here again and will recommend to family and friends.
