The Gladstone Hotel Reviews

Interesting food, I enjoy my vegan ceaser salad. The drinks were a bit limited and not to my liking.

Came in for Live Karaoke! It was a great experience and good drinks

Really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Wish the shower was a little larger and some of the amenities were included, but it was fine nonetheless with a young baby.

The hotel was great, with a great young crowd and it was very lively.

We went here for dinner and a few drinks. The service was pretty good and friendly. The food was a bit overpriced for what we got, but it wasn't too bad.

Great vibe. Great area of town. Staff is knowledgeable, accommodating, and most importantly engaging. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a more intimate hotel experience.

Front desk staff are friendly. Was just popping by to pick someone up.

Try the basil beer. Yummy. Had amazing acoustic covers playing and each song made us stay longer. Super nice bartender.

Location is good because ist is nearby the downtown. 24 hours transport service. Best thing about gladstone is its karaoke.

Gladstone has the best Karaoke in the city. The stage and should is perfect, and the crowd is great. I am there most Fridays, and fully recommend it for those looking for 4 minutes of fame and some fun.

Although we didn t see any of the rooms we did have lunch in the bar, which had a nice atmosphere. The service was attentive and friendly.

I had The Happiness Burger with sides of herbed fries and green salad. All very tasty, although if pressed I d say the burger bun didn t do the rest justice. Small, floury with a slightly doughy texture.

I will go back to check out more of the menu. Nice place to meet up with friends.

Went for the 12 beers event. It was a fun time, lots of good beer and nice people to meet.

Solid bar space. Fun crowd. Went for Australia day celebrations

Best place to go with your best friends - cozy vibes and safe space for all

Melody bar is super sunny and great atmosphere. The food and beverages are incredibly overpriced (the OJ in the photo was $6) but you're probably paying to be at the Gladstone rather than eat their fairly average food. The lamb sausages were more like sliders and were excellent. Skip the veggie bacon.

Always something fun and exciting happening, and their dining menus are delicious for a reasonable price!

Great event space within the bar / restaurant area. Good selection of local beers on tap and reasonable prices.

We ve got a amazing brunch today. The eggs Ben are definitely elevated, very flavourful! Home made fries were perfect! Only down side is not enough tables, we were politely invited to leave as the line up was quite long.
If you are around definitely drop by, I recommend it.

Beautiful venue in one of the city's coolest neighbourhoods!

Where to start! My husband and I had our wedding at Gladstone Hotel and it was perfect!

We had family and friends coming in from different countries and continents and wanted them to have the best experience possible, both at our wedding and where they chose to stay. From the start of the planning process, Gladstone Hotel staff provided excellent support and care of us and all of our guests. Everyone who stayed in the hotel loved it. The rooms, the service, the ambiance and the food.

Andrew, our Event Coordinator and Katie, our Chef along with the rest of the Gladstone team created the perfect evening for us. We had both the ceremony and the reception at the hotel, and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. Our guests are still commenting on how great the food was, how unique and interesting the atmosphere and how much fun they had. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make sure all our guests had the best time.

We want to provide a special thank you to Andrew, our primary point of contact who helped us through all the planning and execution of our plan. Andrew and his team were patient, understanding and accommodating with each one of our requests... even the last minute changes that most other venues and coordinators may have gotten a little irritated with.

We would highly recommend Gladstone Hotel for any event or night out!

Thanks again Andrew and Katie, things could not have gone better. We wish we could do it all again, and we hear that from our guests over and over.

Good place to stay and excellent service and reasonable rates

Rustic famous Hotel with great drinks and art. You can walk in to view their gallery free of cost.

Went to the Gladstone for music bingo night, and dinner. Had a fun time, the food was great and bingo was entertaining.

Had a great time at karaoke. Excellent song selection, great drinks and service.

I went to the bar for a friends birthday on a Saturday night. Took a while to get a table for all of us, but it was worth it. Saturday = love music and karaoke night, great atmosphere. Bartenders take FOREVER to serve you. They were busy, but still, shouldn't take 15+ minutes of eye contact to get served. Still a great night all around, drinks were fairly priced.

Grow OP event was amazing, service at the tables was slow

Was there for an event. Nice space. Cool atmosphere.

Stopped in for drinks. Quick service, fair prices, good atmosphere, music wasn't too loud to have a conversation. Good place to stop in for a drink.

This is a cool place. I was at the Melody Bar to see the band, but they had posters and such advertising the other events hosted here and they all looked like fun. The atmosphere, drinks, and service were all good. I would go back.

Fantastic hospitable staff that are empowered to make decisions that make sense.

Charming and cozy with a very cool history. You get a sense of time travel when taking the elevator and the lobby bar is pretty nifty. Overall an impressive and artistic hotel with cool exhibits year around.

Delightfully quirky. The elevator, the art... truly unique!

Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Wasn't stoned, but left glad.

Server was great, drinks were good but expensive. Great experience

Great atmosphere but the value for food is not great. I had an aubergine and potato skillet but there was nary a trace of aubergine and it was basically a thin layer of whipped potatoes for 16 or 18.

Beautiful place, lots.of character and history, the "gathering" I went to there was terrible beyond belief and kinda soured the experince tho, really like how old fashioned the place was

Rooms are tiny but pleasant. They have a cool manually operated elevator too built from 1907. The bar had a lot of good looking people and the food was good.

At the hotel for music bingo. A fun event, but sound system a bit inadequate

The Gladstone hotel is a great place to grab drinks with friends

A great piece or nostalgia combined with modernistic highlights! A great and intimate lounge. This place even has it's own elevator conductor that transports you to and from your floor to the lobby. Loved my stay here.

I am a resident of the GTA and I would gladly pay to stay here again! Great place!

My cousin had his wedding here at Gladstone Hotel and I really had a great time. The location was perfect and intimate, and the food was probably the best wedding food I've ever eaten. Only downfall is parking...If your there before 6pm you have to pay a fee then go back and pay a fee again for 6pm till 6am and parking is at the grocery store around the corner.

Brunch was really good, considering how many people they were serving, and the drag show was fun, if a bit long.

This is a great venue and hotel for anyone looking to stay overnight in a fantastic part of Toronto. The rooms are eclectic and original, and downstairs you have a great choice of restaurant and bar, as well as many more in the neighborhood.

Gorgeous interior, two nice bar spaces on the ground floor, live music, excellent drink selection

Great event space with friendly staff. Room is well lit and spacious with a raised stage and professional sound system. Wet bar is out of the way so as not to impede views of the stage. Exclusive use washrooms are just to the side of the bar. Overall a good experience.

Simply lovely! The staff are attentive. The breakfasts are exquisite and in addition, the Gladstone is located in one of the nicest areas of Toronto!

We have had an amazing time as artists working with the Gladstone hotel on the 2020 GrowOp show. This place really is a cultural hub. <3

Went Karaoke singing with friends at the Melody Bar. Great place.

Gladstone Hotel is a wonderful place in heart of downtown Toronto but was only there for the Flipside Collectors Vintage Record Show. But when you have some time or in the area check it out.

Very friendly bartender who saw to everything on the spot. Food was good, but not worth the price.

Great coffee and excellent gourmet treats. Also very good service.

Attended the opening of a cafe. There were many original cocktails being showcased, and quiet areas to move when the main area got overly loud. It's a great place to visit with events featuring great food

The Gladstone is a cool spot to go for some casual drinks. The staff is friendly and efficient!

It's really a unique not to be missed experience in Toronto. The rooms are clean and the food is delicious and yet you feel like you're wearing your favorite beat up bathrobe and worn slippers. Comfortable. Familiar. It's loud. Oh yes it's loud, but somehow on the 3rd floor all the club and street noise just has the distant thump of white noise. It's a 130 year old building after all, so these are not cheap drywall and plaster walls separating the guest rooms from the raging parties below.

The best hotel experience I've had in toronto. The gladstone is older than most hotels, though that's a part of its charm.The staff were friendly, highly efficient and very accommodating. The Gladstone is a perfect place to stay during their many events, though the highlight for me would be the 12 beers of Christmas. The hotel has a great uniqueness with its paintings and floor layout. Unlike most hotels that host the same bland style of design for their rooms, the Gladstone is unique in that it offers a wide variety of differently decorated rooms. My room was clean and I found nothing wrong with it during my stay and would highly recommend that if you do go to one of their more popular events that you book a room it'll make your time there even better. The cafe was also great for drinks and their appetizers. Overall a great place to stay. The hotel also has a Manuel elevator which is amazing.

Very nice bar with several nice looking areas. Good selection of signature cocktails.

Great place. Had some drinks with friends and we all enjoyed our evening.

Great place to grab a bite. Keep up the great work!!

Great service and cool concept. Rooms are very overpriced and small. Found a lot of bugs in the room too.

Karaoke night was great!! Great service and a fun place! Food was awesome.

Great place with fantastic Cabaret and burlesque shows. Food is good too!

I have attended several of the "12 Beers.." events over the years and found them to be enjoyable, for a reasonable cost. The brewery selections have become predictable, but the Gladstone is a great space and the live music is fun. I recommend avoiding the food at these events, grab something in the neighbourhood instead.

Great venue and karaoke on Friday night is a lot of fun.
