Cozy, Affordable, Small Room Downtown
The Hotel Palmerston was a reasonably priced affordable stay in downtown Toronto. Located at Queen & Palmerston, this old house converted into a small hotel was simple, but comfortable. The double room with one queen bed was clean, but small. The European style bathroom is literally a large shower stall with a toilet and tiny sink right inside the stall. Room included mini fridge and Keurig coffee maker. Wi-Fi worked well. Bed was comfortable. Room was overly warm, and could not turn down the heat, had to prop window open a little. After online check-in, door codes were sent for the front door and for the room. Did not see or communicate with any staff while there, though they did respond to my email, about parking prior to the visit. Central location, access to many attractions. Downfall of the location, very noisy. No extra amenities, for example, no pool, no breakfast, no workout room, etc. Would only recommend if looking for a very low price. Sufficient but not luxurious, you sacrifice the extra amenities, extra space and peace and quiet for location and low price!

Ignore the whiny reviews. Yes, there’s a trade-off between low cost and amenities, but for a short stay in an expensive and busy city, it’s worth it

We cant really comment on how comfortable this hotel was as we didn’t spend one night in there. We stayed with our son instead so will comment on our first visit and initial impressions. On arriving we had a little trouble locating the entrance, its on the main street right next to A &W and is just a black door with sign, we had the codes for the doors and instructions as soon as we landed and was greeted and helped by manager as soon as we got there, he kindly helped carry our cases up the two flights of very steep stairs (no elevators). The room itself was quite dull even with the light on and we had a problem with our window that was sorted out as soon as we mentioned it. The facilities in the room were dated and could do with being updated, the toilet inside the shower area was fine when we got there but as soon as the husband had a shower there was a strong smell of urine from around the floor area. The bedding was clean but there were blood stains on the mattress protector, We cant comment on the quality of the sleep as I said we didn’t stay there. Not the best location on Queen street, would I stay there again or recommend, no. You get what you pay for with this hotel, if we hadn't of been able to stay with our son I think I would of booked into a different hotel.

This was a solid placs to stay. Property owner keep the rooms clean and there is a mini-fridge & micdowave in each room. There is a flight of stairs to the first floor of rooms, and the fewest people in each room is 4 ppl in bunk beds. Bring your own towel, as they are not provided. Really safe thoigh, separate front door codes and individual room codes. Great for a budget stay!!

The hotel does not allow children it wasn't stated before booking. My wife is breastfeeding and was refused entry just because she had a baby who was breastfeeding. Their customer care is very poor
