I love the feel of this hotel. It is meticulously maintained, the lobby is beautiful. Our junior suite was very comfortable. The room was clean and well appointed. I would definitely return for another stay. Great location.

Unfortunately, I would agree with a previous reviewer that service here is not what you would expect (ie. not up to par) for this kind of establishment. The Sunday brunch managerial staff particularly, Nick and Ben, did not put customer satisfaction as their main priority. Kindness and a smile woul...

We were part of a wedding party over 2 days and found the facility to be very fresh and wonderfully representative of the period of old movie stars. The staff and last minute questions and requests were answered and resolved with efficiency and care both personally and for the full wedding arrangem...

My wife and I have been going annually to Windsor Arms for brunch for the last 4 years perusing online savings coupons. The first year, it was the priciest but offered a large variety of delicious fare in a buffet setting (same format of serving to date). My wife and I right away noticed the change ...

Guests were evacuated from hotel after a 15 minute exploratory period to determine the cause of the emergency.

The Windsor Arms is truly one of the most beautiful spots in Toronto. It s regal decor is unlike anything I have ever seen and I knew I wanted to get married there within the first few minutes of our tour.

Some friends and I came here for afternoon tea and it was lovely! There's a hat room where you can pay $5 (it goes to charity) to borrow a hat.
The scones were probably my favourite part of the tray

Overpriced and not worth it. Mediocre service and hotel. Bed sheets were not the cleanest. Room was not worth the price. Food was way overpriced and not pleasant to eat all all. The food tasted like it was microwaved from the week before. Tomatoes even had some mold on it. Do not waste your time and...

An elegant boutique hotel with plush interiors, rich wood, spacious rooms, good spa services and fine dining. Ron Burgundy would approve.

Really nice high tea experience. Not cheap but also not too expensive (it is high tea after all). The setting was nice and the service was great.

Awful service!! We arrived at 7 am to make our check in and they told us that our room will be available at 3pm with no manners and a very bad attitude. The place is old and in no good shape. Plenty of better options in Toronto

My mother and I had tea in the tea room and it was very nice. The food was lovely and the service was good. I would say I wish there was an option to try a few types of tea instead of only being able to pick up. Just some food for thought.

Stayed here for our wedding - Absolutely the best service from all their staff. Wonderful atmosphere and beautiful hotel. SPA was beautiful and their on-site restaurant and afternoon tea rooms are second to none. Our experience exceeded all of our expectations and beyond.

probably the worst tea experience I've had.

First time on March 9. The room was well decorated and gave it a classical feel like I was in a different era.

Great location in Yorkville. Paid parking close by. Hotel is a little on the old side but that seems to add to the charm of it. I added their afternoon tea. The service and atmosphere were great. They have a great selection of teas which the staff is very knowledgeable of. The food was okay.

Last year's visit Included this wonderful place. My cousins took me here for high tea and it was amazing! I love tea time, and I love all the goodies that come with it. I will definitely be taking my aunts here if we make it up! Inside still had the Victorian feel and the chandelier was fantastic!

One of the worst experiences I ve ever had at any hotel. The front desk has no sense of customer service- rude, disrespectful, I could go on. Even the manager could learn a thing or 2. They will take your money and not care about compensating you when you run into issues at their hotel due to their ...

Went there for their afternoon tea - the quality of Tea is excellent. The quality of food was average. The scone was too crumbly. Smoked salmon was left outside for too long. Desserts were not tasty enough. Floor was a bit dirty - found Christmas decorations on the floor in February.
