The Gladstone Hotel Reviews

Funky place, somewhat aged, but with service. Bohemians, sign up.

Great place! I came here on a saturday for karoake at the bar and they had live music before. Great music. This was the best place I ever karaoked. They have a tiny screen for you to read on a stand in the front but the crowd is great. Everyone was dancing and singing and it was great!!

Lovely gf pub lunch on a rainy day in Toronto, so enjoyed by a visitor from the Sunshine Coast, Queen's, Australia

Great karaoke location. The best even. Not to mention all the other excellent things going on, and the fact that it's a Toronto landmark is extra cool.

Great vibe at the cafe. Art work all over and will stay here if I ever get the chance.

Lovely character-filled heritage building, art throughout and artist designed rooms. Holds different events. A cultural hub; a great place to social and hold events.

We attended a book launch and ate dinner before. Their food was amazing in addition to the service. The venue was perfect for the event

Went to an 80s music party in the ballroom. It's an excellent venue for such events. Things that could be improved is the power of the sound system and the capacity of the bar. Wait time to get a drink can get lengthy with the ballroom full of people.

There are nice events at this place. I felt beers were slightly overpriced and selection was rather low. But, it is a nice place to go for a dance and hangout with friends.

Great pub food...local beer on tap! This is toronto!

Went here for brunch which was decent enough. I had a classic breakfast with eggs, bacon and potatoes. Potatoes were the clear standouts. Coffee was decent. Overall the experience was pretty good. The only negative was that my food and that of my fellow dinners, was lukewarm to cold. Otherwise everything was acceptable.

Beautiful little hotel. Fun bar and karaoke every Friday and Saturday from 10pm 2am.

Classy interior. Great service. Lots of young professionals to mingle with.

Great service from a friendly staff! Love coming back here

Nice rooms, friendly staff. Great location. Can be hard to sleep due to street noise. Interestingly, hotel provides ear plugs!

I go to the Gladstone's Melody Bar for their weekly Music Bingo event. It's a beautiful, well decorated space and the service has always been great.

Staff were friendly. Looked like a nice place to have a drink.

I visited the Gladstone Hotel's restaurant a few weeks ago with some friends and stayed until close. The main lights were turned on and we saw not one but SIX mice scurry along the restaurant floors over a period of half an hour. The waitress who served us told us that its normal to see a lot of mice around because its an "old building" and it's not a big deal. Maybe that is so, but I'd prefer my restaurant visits to be mice free.

The most original, different hotel I have ever seen. With own style.
We coincide with the 12 beers party and the hotel concert mix is very original.
To integrate, to have fun ...

Went there for brunch. Great atmosphere, great food. Highly recommend

The hotel itself was excellent... Nice old hallways, cool elevator and a good bar to have drinks at. The room I stayed in however was the smallest room I have ever stayed in, and it just had out of focus pictures of trees all over it with ugly mustard and brown paint on the walls. The shower was so small evertime I turned around I knocked the door open. The bed was also small and hard. I paid over 200 dollars a night and hated being in the room altogether so I don't think I'd stay again. I am so conflicted though because the rest of the place was awesome. If I paid 100 a night or something reasonable my review would be significantly more positive but for my personal experience I can't review it any higher.

GrowOp eco art exhibition was happening, we stayed in the map room, had breakfast downstairs and took a look at the clothes swap. Always something to do at the Gladstone.

More people need to know about the Gladstone. From interesting regular events that support the arts to a bar/restaurant that gets afternoon sun in the winter to rooms designed by local artists, it's an amazing hub in the city.

Always cool art events going on here and the bartender here makes an amazing Tom collins

I was there at the bar. It had a great atmosphere, drinks were a good price and lovely entertainment.

Very groovy place. Two bars; a showroom for plays, symposium talks, and mixers; and an expansive second floor for exhibitions and other events. You can feel the floors creak with history and local legacy. I've only been twice, but the Gladstone has enough flavor to accommodate guests of all kinds. Seems like a nice date spot too.

I didn't stay at the hotel overnight, but the art exhibit they had was fun, educational, and zany too. Only one elevator but worth going up.

I attended a small arts expo in at the Gladstone, and for small events like that the location is just fine.

Was very clean and the front desk was very polite and helpful

Great service and friendly staff. Nice casual atmosphere. Food was good too!

Great Karaoke night. So much fun. Good cocktails. Fun atmosphere.

The staff is really helpful. We had an issue with the AC in a room and they moved us to another room while the fixed it. Very helpful and very nice. Hotel was a great stay.

Great arts scene! We took a tour for Doors Open and would love to spend a night

Nice rooms in a beautiful old building. Really enjoyed the neighbourhood as well.

It was nice and clean and the staff were professional

I went there to watch drag race on Friday night. The bar is great. The entertainment was fun. The food was horrible. We were sitting at the bar. I ordered a burger. It was tiny, cold tiny and flavorless. I had to ask the bartender for the tobasco sause he uses for drinks to try to make it taste better. My partner ordered chicken wings. Same problem. They were cold, flavorless and chewy. If we weren't having so much fun watching the show I would have sent the food back. Overall, it's a great location but i would reccomend eating before going there

I stopped in for a beer and some karaoke with some like minded friends.

The workshop was great, but not the best area for an Origami lesson (beside the bar, separated by a curtain, all while the bar was running their spirited Trivia Night). It was a fun class and really cool very venue though.

Wonderful history and architecture. The staff in the restaurant was very friendly and felt relatable. The food was amazing! Recommend it for sure.

Lovely old lady...had a fun Sunday breakfast and viewed the wonderful Hard Twist 2017 entries...ours included!

Definitely recommend this hotel its very clean and comfortable. Slept great! Staff very friendly and professional. Gave us free toothpaste. Great location! Stores walking distance. Transportation right outside building train or bus.

The art exhibits were open to the public and were really interesting and varied in the mediums used and images conveyed. I thoroughly enjoyed checking it out and the bar was very comfortable.

The venue was amazing. Hosted a few events. Really chic and quaint.

Great location and vibe. Tried going to the season finale of Ru Paul's Drag Race. If you do ever decide to go, make sure to go at least an hour beforehand to get a seat!

Snacks from the kitchen were great and staff was very friendly

Attended for a wedding. Great venue with helpful staff, delicious food, beautiful location!

Good fun, wouldn't reccomend standing behind the taps to get a drink though.

We have a blast at the Gladstone karaoke night. The bar has a great atmosphere, the service at the bar was quick, even though it was a busy night, and the karaoke selection was expansive.

We went there to see an art installation and had a great time. The staff were helpful and its a very nice venue.

Went for drinks on a Saturday night, good drink selection, karaoke and a fun place to go
