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. Hotel concierge was rude and not accommodating and did not handle the situation in a professional manner. I would advise against staying at this property not only for safety concerns but f...

Came for high tea with my mother for mother s day. The food was great and the dining area was beautiful. Service was ok. My biggest issue was after we finished eating we decided to try on some tea hats for fun, went to the front desk to ask where to put the donation and the man there was incredibly ...

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.

My wedding was the best day of my life. The Windsor Arm s food is delicious, our wedding su...

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...

The overall experience of having high tea at the Windsor as hotel was fun! The tea was yummy and the scones were delightful but everything else was pretty mediocre. The petit sandwiches had stale bread and had visibly been sitting around for some time... the desserts on top did not interest us at al...

Dinner for 4 in the Living Room. Everyone enjoyed their dinner.. I had beef tenderloin and it was fabulous. Ambiance was comfortable and chique and service was courteous and prompt yet not overwhelming. Overall great experience!

An elegant boutique hotel with plush interiors, rich wood, spacious rooms, good spa services and fine dining. Ron Burgundy would approve. Kidding asude, the rooms are simply amazing (you get what you pay for) and the dining has twice been spectacular under two different chefs. In the 70s and 80s my ...

Horrible experience: do not book your wedding here! The venue is a beautiful setting. The management is a nightmare to deal with. Take away message: Rot in this case starts from the top.
Dealing with the Windsor Arms difficult. Here are some key issues we had:

At the spa we ordered food before our nails.. it took an hour to get the food and when we asked if they could just bring us our drinks while we waited we wer...

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. My only issue was that when they serve black tea, there is no way to remove the tea leaves so they keep steeping even though most black teas should not st...

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.

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

The teas we good, one of them seemed over steeped though. The scones, quiche and biscuits were wonderful, the sandwiches were lack lustre and a bit dry. Desserts were good as well.

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.

Terrible Xmas dinner. 30 Minutes for our drinks. A lot of people were in the same as my Party. A lot of people walked out. Another big problem. This was a buffet. They ran out of food. A tray of 20 oysters for 120 people. So everyone one had to wait. Other main courses in the buffet were ran out. So...
