The Gladstone Hotel Reviews

We went for a music show and some drinks. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was very friendly and attentive. The band had no cover and was incredible which made buying drinks even more appealing

Walked in looking for live music and wasn't disappointed. Pretty quiet on a Thursday night but the Last Train to Hamilton cocktail was great!

A beautiful building, having a peek at the location for an upcoming art exhibit my wife is a participant in. Excellent lunch, great service. No complaints. Look forward to our next visit.

Lovely integration of galleries and hotel. Event space is a good size

Just the best spot to hang out on any day of the week. There's usually something going on and the staff there are super helpful for special events. One of my favourite places in the city.

You are spoiled for choice as to where to drink on Queen west, but the Gladstone means you will always have something to see or do; whether it is karaoke or live music or a beer tasting there is always something fun happening here.

The hotel is amazing to host events as it gives two levels of space. I went there for a LGBTQ market and it was able to hold 50+ vendors allowing for a lot to take in. It's perfect and very lgbtq friendly!

Excellent location to host a party, have drinks at their cocktail bar and take in art

Amazing brunch spot with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Hello vegan mushroom eggs benny! And you can get a pot of tea for 3.75 and it comes like this!!

Attended a wedding. Staff were great! Very friendly and helpful!

Food and service is good. I find the layout kinda hard to navigate sometimes (like if your event is in the ballroom, having to go to the other side near the bar for a washroom). I also find the second floor and third floor a bit cramped for events

The Gladstone Hotel is a good place for dinner, drinks, and music. It's a bit away from the core, but it's on a streetcar line.

Tasty beverages, friendly and attentive wait staff! Great local bar

Great hotel central location at Dufferin and queen.

This is a great historical landmark of Toronto, the restaurant has a lovely menu and it's quiet and cozy with exposed brick. Great for brunch. The melody bar is often lively and features all kinds of entertainment from drag queens to karaoke. It's very accepting of all walks of life. The upper floors often have art gallery shows featuring local artists. A great place to check out if you are visiting the city, or living in it.

Amazing hotel and art space. Staff is friendly, helpful and professional. Location for access to restaurants and retail can't be beat.

Great place to unwind and share a drink with friends. It is the original bastion for gentrification in Parkdale.

Different than expected. The charm was great. Expected the bar to have a cocktail list or some specialties. I would gladly go back. Queen West is super cool and the hotels history is very interesting

Went to a Halloween event here. The hotel itself was very nice, and they had a good selection of drinks, etc. However, the event itself was riddled with issues. As far as I know though, it was put on by a third party, so I don't want to fault the Gladstone too much for it.

Went to the gladstone art hut for an art event. The space is really nice.

Awesome all the way around. Great stay. Great staff.
I've only stayed here once, but I always recommend this hotel to anyone who's looking to have a very relaxed stay. The rooms are very nice and cozy.
Some rooms have bigger bathrooms.
Even smaller rooms have gigantic bathrooms for its room size.
For the entire setup of the Metro Hotel, it's surprisingly and relatively quiet.
Staying at the Gladstone Hotel really makes your vacation great!!

Went here for "brunch". It was a buffet style and when we got there (1pm) it was pretty much depleted despite the fact that they were serving it until 4pm. When they did replenish the tables it was not the entire buffet. I've had better continental breakfasts for cheaper. This cost me $50!!! We had two coffees, I had a beer. Not good value.

Brunch service and food is not the best. Ordered the doubles, and the bread was rock hard. Asked the waitress if the bread is supposed to be this hard (clanked the dish with the bread) and she said yes. Not sure how one can eat food if they cannot chew.

the place is nice. Few different rooms for different events. Good looking bar, pleasent bartender. Didn't eat, so I can't speak to the food, but it looked pretty good.

Visited the cafe and loved the food from the soft launch of the chef-in-residency program. Great idea!

Only problem.... Lots of drunks... They just opened a lcbo next to it...

I sat down for breakfast at 9am and the food came at 9:35. It was a simple mini burger thing which I can't remember what it's called on the menu. The meat was burnt.

I also had lunch there, ordered a burger just to be quick to get back to class. It's the same burnt meat.

I don't recommend the hotel for food. The shawarma place across the street has better food for 3 times less money.

I didn't stay there, just went for a party. Great venue, it's fun and the hotel is pretty cool. Haven't checked the rooms but I heard they were kinda cool too.

Very unique experience and each room is designed differently - interesting and fun hotel to enjoy if you're in the area.

Tine to get real fun and space . Thanks for good hospitality.

Was very busy, but still service seemed unnecessarily slow.

Always hosting fun events and the hotel rooms are really nice!

Wonderfully charming establishment. One of the best bar-karaoke (i.e. in public) spots in Toronto. Draws a great friendly crowd, and has friendly staff.

The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food was amazing!

Excellent venue, awesome bartenders and really great atmosphere.

We were invited back this past Sunday for a re-visit after a slightly unpleasant experience a few weeks ago and the staff all went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure we had a fantastic visit. They made us feel very welcomed, important and valued. The food was delicious, the drinks came fast and the drag show was amazing. Special thanks to Samatha for checking in with us regularly to make sure everything was perfect. See you all next weekend!

Karaoke and bar were good. They had a live band that was very entertaining

Great ambiance. Comfortable chairs for my conference event, and good temperature control on a horrible humid day. Hoping to return for a social visit soon!

I've been here 3 times since January to meet people for tea. Each time the staff have been fantastic. Love the greens and biscuits for a snack. The environment is carefully curated with a modern eclectic tone that adds just enough character and interest to compliment the building without being over the top. Get a pot of tea and see which teapot you'll end up with.

Amazing place for brunch! Amazing staff. Very accommodating and first class food and yummy drinks! Can't say enough nice thing.

Music bingo was fun. Crowd and service was friendly.

Staff is very friendly and welcoming along with the hotel

It's a very historic building on a very popular street and artistic neighborhood. It's a cool venue for live music. Bar staff are really nice compared to other venues. It has a very modern mixed with classic decor inside and one of those old elevatora that's like a cage with a person whose job it is to take people up and down throughout the building. It has two different bars inside and I think serves food. It must be about a hundred years or more, just like more there building connected to it along the queen st strip located right by a major rail route that probably brought visitor's to the hotel in the early days of Toronto, when south of it used to be a very big industrial centre for the war effort in the early 1930-40s. It should be on a tourists or Toronto local list of places to visit.

Very friendly staff, cool unique rooms like the puzzle room here...

Both a great restaurant and gallery space. I can't comment on the hotel, but I've seen many shows here, and both the shows and the space are great. The bar is a bit on the expensive sidez, but the service and the drinks are well worth the money for what you'll find in this corner of the city.

Very cool hotel in the heart of West Queen West. We loved the individual rooms, the geat art and design all over the hotel. Welcoming atmosphere and good service. The Bar and Cafe in the lobby have also a nice cultural program. Just in the night its a bit too loud to sleep...but hey, thats life. Great spot in Toronto in a lively neighbourhood.

Lovely venue with great heritage architecture. Always something going on.

The managers went out of their way to be helpful. The renovated rooms kept the original character but were very pleasantly and tastefully beautified and updated. The beds are super comfortable. The old lift elevators are still in tact, manually operated which added to the Gladstone's charm.

We came in for a drink and to wait out the rain. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and we enjoyed our drinks. The brunch menu looked good, if we didnt just eat brunch elsewhere we would have given it a shot.

Had a blast .... Drank to much and made a fool of myself on the karaoke mic.

Good spot for events went to a fibre event with farmers and wool, only issue was the lighting was a little dim to see the products but overall nice spot

Always fun events here. Multiple bars throughout main floor. Love the at, and the building on second floor.

Don't bother trying to check in with no credit card and an aggressive dog and a prostitute accompanying you. You will not be treated with hospitality

Great bar service, warm and welcoming space. Good food, slightly slower service at busier times as expected

I've been attending exhibits at the Gladstone for the past four years and I'm never disappointed! Very diverse themes. Just recently tried the food and it's great as well, and at a reasonable price.

I came here for Music Bingo night and loved it! The host is very entertaining and has a good sense of humour. The overall atmosphere is relaxing and the staff are friendly and attentive.

This place is a must see! Attended an art show here rooms are incredible and the best caesar I've ever had.. Nevermind the great karaoke on Friday's and Saturday's

Cool, trendy kind of place. The bar is nice and gets busy on weekends. Haven't stayed in a room, because I live here.

I love visiting the Gladstone hotel. Today they featured a drag brunch... I hadn't had the chance to check it out yet but seems unique!

Nice bar. Usually has some good live entertainment such as music, burlesque, comedy shows etc

Really great brunch but I feel like there was a solid lack of choice. Loved my dish though
