Canada hotels & accommodations

Frankly to say, I have traveled to Vancouver so many times and stayed in so many different hotels. Atrium of course can't compare with higher class 5 stars hotels....but as value for money, Atrium tops them all! Very good booking price vs good services, clean room, breakfast and underground very secured parkings. I will pretty sure I will book Atrium again for next tra...

We went for a one night stay to see a concert at Air Canada Center, used the valet at $39.95 CAD for parking (highly recommended) , check in was quick, our room with single queen was on the small side but it made ho difference for a short stay, it was clean the stall courteous. Walk to the lake front in under 10 min!!!!!!!

The hotel is located at the downtown and just next to the Sky Train Burrad Station which you could reach everywhere. Walking distance to Canada Place and Waterfront. Hotel staff offered us free wifi in our room. Cool what's a nice treat. The room is spacious and the bed dings was extremely comfy. Highly recommend if anyone is looking for a value-added hotel.

It is one of hotels in downtown Toronto with best location , central to many different sight seeing spots , theatres, Eatons center, Yonge Street. Even check in check out always have lots of people line up, many staff available to minimize time. Room is clean and renovated. Hallway, lobby some area are dated. The swimming pool, whirlpool and gym are up at roof top and ...

The best hotel I’ve stayed at in Toronto. Close to Dundas square and very nice and clean with newly renovated rooms. Only thing is no parking on site so I had to pay $38 for parking somewhere else which is a bit far fetched considering the room for one night is over $200. In this case it should include parking with room. Other than that beautiful hotel and great staff...

Me and my son's first trip to Vancouver. My husband took us there for New Year's Celebration. Hotel is fantastic with great breakfast. The room is very clean. It has comfortable 2 queen beds with lots of soft and comfy pillows. We had an amazing view of the water, mountains and some part of the other city. The best part was, we had the view for the Fireworks. But the ...

Samantha checked us in and was very helpful and accommodating. Other staff members that we hadn't dealt with remembered us and our situation and we're very helpful. Was really nice to see. Calling after 11pm for some information and assistance wasn't the best but during the day they are. I really disliked the parking situation. You can only pay for valley and it...

We reserved 1 King Falls View Suite. I thought we were gonna get 14th floor like that. However, we got 26th floor. It was amazing. View was perfect, nothing blocked both U.S and Canada falls view. Service was good, they were so kind. If I stay Niagara falls again, I’ll decide here.

We booked a room which is facing the fallsview. The view was spectacular where you could see the US falls and Canada Horseshoe falls vividly. The hotel is just minutes walk to the niagara falls and less than 15 minutes walk to the entertainment district. Staff are friendly and helpful. The bathroom was huge and comes with a Jacuzzi bath tub.

Lots of counter space in bathroom and handy lighted, magnifying mirror! Complimentary water bottle was a nice touch. Fun to go to the casino too. Handy to the Canada Line to get to the airport. Or you can take a taxi. No airport shuttle. I would definitely stay here again!

Wew stayed in the Century Plaza Hotel and Spa for 3 nights prior to joining our Alaska cruise. We found the location ideal for access to downtown areas and Canada Place cruise port. An added benefit was that the free shuttle to the Capilano Suspension Bridge starts right outside the door (from Capilano a local bus operates to Grouse Mountain, a short ride further up ...

The location, rooms, staff and the indoor parking were all great, however, the breakfast was abysmal with a very limited choice and they don’t have a dishwasher so every plate/knife/fork/cup is made of plastic/polystyrene and gets thrown away. I had read a review that mentioned this before I booked but I didn’t fully comprehend the sheer volume of waste being produced...

My husband and I booked a last minute trip to Vancouver and were having a hard time finding an affordable hotel that would be reasonably far from the city center. We went with the Comfort Inn in North Vancouver and were pleased with the accommodations. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The room, as well as the hotel itself, is a bit old, but the room was clean...

Nice newly renovated rooms and facilities. Friendly kind staff at reception and restaurant. Very local neighborhood and many eatery places around. 15 minuets wall to the old city. Cheaper self parking option at the front of the hotel for $15. The price of breakfast buffet was high and the variations and quality were mediocre at the best. Recommend to go local bakery or...

It certainly was a pleasure checking in at the Hotel Zero in Montreal. After a very long drive, I was swiftly checked in and made aware of all of the amenities available during my stay. I must give the gentleman checking me in major kudos. I believe his name was Ryan. Hotel Zero is lucky to have him. He switched from french to english without a hiccup and treated ...

Situated across the street from the train staition, this hotel has spacious, up to dale rooms , great staff, lovely breakfast buffet and the best pool ever! Imagine getting into a pool indoors and then go through to an out door pool regardless of the temperature! Float away in the night undrer a starry sky - how unique and magical is that!! You can’t beat the pric...

great hotel with fun looking lobby. very close to the old city and china town, and there is a museum right accross the street, which i didn't check out due to time constraints. the rooms are nice and the amenities are very good. staff are fast and friendly. checking in and out was a breeze. overall i am very happy with the experience at the hyatt regency

This is the second time we stayed at Best Western and were around for the Grand prix. The hotel is centrally located and close to night life, major attractions. Great area for shopping and close to train station. Would strongly recommend staying here if you are visiting for 3-4 days, cause it is clsoe to everything.

The hotel went through a recent major renovation and we give it rave reviews. We are in Toronto often and have always stayed elsewhere. We think that is about to change. The King Eddie is an exceptional hotel in all categories. You will enjoy your stay. Get the delux king room… fabulous! Sent from my iPad

the hotel is really close to downtown. it is 23 minutes walk or 3 minutes car drive. hotel is also accessible to bus route. the hotel room that we got has a city view. the room is so clean and quiet. could use some more room for curtain as we cant close our curtain blind. hotel staffs are so nice. they also have an underground parking, you can pay at the reception (we...

I was with a group of twelve people who stayed overnight at the Best Western Plus Waterfront Hotel. We were all pleased with our rooms and the lovely views of the Detroit River skyline that we could view from our windows. Our rooms were clean and supplied with everything needed to make our stay comfortable. The complimentary breakfast had enough variety to meet the ...

Had a pleasure stay in the hotel. The complimentary shampoo, conditioner, soap and lotion are all so good. Regular size blow dryer. Nice and comfy bed. Adequate lights. Bacon Mac and Cheese is the best M&C I've had by far! Please don't change the recipe, people will be coming back for that. Your gravy on your poutine is also good!!!!!!

I've stayed at this hotel before and didn't have any issues with the staff. This year I was bumped to an earlier flight and when I arrived I called to see if they had any rooms available similar to the one I booked. I wasn't given an option to upgrade. I was only given the option to wait until 3pm checkin or pay a $50 early check in fee. I declined because this fee ...

Some reviews I read criticized the area. So glad I ignored them. Nice quiet area only a five minute walk to the main shopping centre. Also walking distance to the food market which was great. Friendly staff with complementary town car. Chocolate strawberries were a nice touch for my wife's birthday. The room was a nice design although not overly large. The included bre...

This was my 3rd time staying at the Hyatt. I do have to say the quality of the hotel has decreased since my previous stays. We booked a 2 queen bedroom and because they couldn't keep up with cleaning they were trying to offer us double beds. The pool was full of children splashing, I have kids myself but I would never take them to a hotel like this, it was a bit obnoxi...

Congrats to all Trump International Hotel's staff. You are the best! From the check-in to the check-out, everything was perfect. The cleanliness was spotless, the guys from valet were extremely efficient and friendly and of front-desk were very thoughtful.

We met our friends in town (we are from out of town as well) for a night in the city. The hotel was comfortable, clean and a great location to everything. The next day we had a board meeting just 1/2 a block away (we had no idea when we booked how close it was). Everything with the check in and check out was efficient and easy. Would stay again in heartbeat.
Cheap places to stay in Canada

It is so well-decorated I feel like I was living in a museum. Breakfast is simple, bread and many choice of spread, e.g. jam, butter, chocolate, honey, cream cheese and peanut butter. They also provide maple oat meal which is very local style. But I wonder why they didn't provide maple syrup for bread.

Although the booking was thought to be at a bed and breakfast, the stay at this hostel was very good. Parking was limited but due to the winter season not a problem. Staff was most helpful and interested in meeting our needs. The room was spacious with the most interesting wall art made of tiles. Very lovely. Breakfast was make it yourself as is the custom at a ho...

We had 3 people staying in a family room (2 bunk beds). It's better than a hostel. There were young families staying there. Room was very clean. Downstairs has a huge communal area plus kitchen. There's even a commercial size fridge with sections (labelled) for every room. Golden is also a lovely town.

This is really a French-style hotel from decoration to customer service. The breakfast here is simple but delicious with pancake and some other foods. Everyone are friendly and nice. It takes about 15min to Old Montréal by metro. Just a small stuff because the wifi connection doesn't work in my room. However, I still like this hotel.

I stayed here twice and all the staff here are really really nice. Clean sweet hostel providing everything, i met so many friends here . The location is perfect, in downtown and along the point Pleasant park and bus station and bars area. They gave me a big hug when I came back second time.

North Coast Trail Backpackers far exceeded my expectations in all categories. The location is incredible! Centrally located with a short walk to the water and an incredible view! Anne and her staff love what they do and it shows in how organized, clean and well run North Coast is. If you're thinking of staying here, don't hesitate!

This Hostel was all around perfect. I actually ended up wanting to spend more time IN the hostel than the city itself. The cleanliness, staff, facilities even down to the decor was all perfect. It didn't feel like a hostel at all, it felt much more homely. I can't fault the hostel in anyway. One thing that stood out to me was the linens! Very tempted to ask where I can...

If you are a budget traveler and looking for a reasonable hotel,this is one of them you can consider.With the small room and bathroom.We stayed in a queen bedroom, there were not much room space to walk around and bathroom are small which serves the purpose.Staff were really helpful in giving inputs whats around the city.

Breakfast is what you would find at a regular motel, juice cereal fruit coffee, of course you can cook your own. I bit on the warm and muggy side as the window is small and it is difficult to air out the room. I received bad advice to walk to the aquarium. It was too far and the signs inadequate to find it once inside the park. Best to take the number 6 bus. Otherwise ...

Great location,convenient and most of all a very spacious room and very well kept room Services. Food and places of interest is just 5 minutes away totally the Best Hotel you can find in the strip and Best valued Hotel you cannot be wrong to book this as your preferred stay in Niagara Falls Toronto Canada.

Pros: price, breakfast, staff, cleanliness, parking. Cons: A lot of people were smoking in corridor or in their rooms. Breakfast to be improved. The same hotel served in Quebec city served boiled eggs and yougurt in breakfast, although price was more. Overall the place was good to stay for overnight. I will go again. You can borrow a fridge for $10:00.

I was only there for one night. I had interactions with two front desk people and one cleaning lady. They were all friendly and very helpful. The room was very clean. Breakfast was buffet style. It was good, with a good variety of food/beverage choices. It is close to the airport but you don't hear any planes overhead. Shuttle service to the airport is very good...

I booked the room (excellent price for 2 nights)and showed up at the hotel 10 minutes later and was able to check in.Extremely helpful front desk clerk.I was able to get a room on the main floor, very clean, quiet and beds were excellent.No issues to report.Will definitely stay there again for my courses I take there for oilfield work.Thanks again.

Decided to do a quick overnight stay in Niagra Falls and decided to book at America's best Value in as we have stayed at the chain before and been pleased. On this visit we arrived and there was barely any parking. We checked in and was told $8.00 parking fee on top of room rate. Got to room and it was average. Dated. Bed was hard and only 2 flat pillows. Requested mor...

It's been a great stay at blue moon hotel! The rooms were clean and free of any odour. This is an ideal place for a couple who is looking for a reasonable stay within the budget. The wego busstop is right in front of the hotel for those who want to commute to Niagara falls.

The room was really comfortable and clean. Breakfast was a simple continental and we didn't find it a hassle at all to collect it from reception. Only downside was the noise from the road but it wasn't too bad if you're used to some noise, e.g. towns/cities anyway.

We decided to try the airport Hilton rather than our usual go-to airport hotel. We had flown back to Toronto from the west and were staying in TO for two nights before heading home on Sunday. The hotel has been redone from top to bottom and done very nicely. We rented a king-bed room which was roomy for the two of us. However, I think that it is always the staff that ‘...

I come to Vancouver about 5 times a year for meetings. Although I may be required to stay at other properties depending on the location/nature of the visit, when I get to book hotel myself, the Hilton is always my first choice. For me it is the best example of the increase in quality that one can get for a bit more money per night. The rooms are modern and clean. M...

excellent hotel with very confortable bedding. Perfect location on the bay. Ideal to have a good rest. The swimming pool is very welcome with a hot tube to have both cold and warm baths. The staff is very friendly and not too present which makes the stay in this hotel nice, pleasant and calm. The buffet on Sunday was OK for $21.95 but don't go around noon otherwise yo...

Wonderful hotel. The pool was a little smaller than I expected but everything was good. Super comfy beds. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is that there were no curtains to cover up the huge window in our room. Just a white mesh lace curtain. So in the morning the sunlight came through too brightly which was hard for us to sleep in. Other than that the rooms were cl...

My mum and I are pretty picky about hotels and their service because we've been to so many hotels in the past ( high end to low end, experiences them all). First of all the girl at the front dest that checked us in was super super nice. She was o friendly and made us feel welcome. The room had a great view of the city. The pool was nice also, big enough to do laps. The...

Our travel agent researched and booked The Westin Harbour Castle Hotel for us and we couldn't have been happier. Okay, it's a huge (900+ rooms) convention style hotel but the rate offered via Agoda was great compared to similar Toronto downtown 4* and 5* rated hotels. The rooms with comfy king beds are huge and the bathrooms are lovely. The hotel has numerous food and ...

An honest steal for the price and the amazing location. I can't stress enough how much I would recommend my friends to stay in this hotel should they ever visit Niagara Falls. Breakfast can be bought at around CAD22 on site, with a good variety of food and an excellent view of the falls in the morning. In my personal opinion, it has the best location of all the hotels,...

The location is excellent - steps away from wonderful restaurants like Alo/Aloette, Byblos, and Pai, ten hops to Starbucks and the local drugstore/mart, and an easy Uber ride away to anywhere. Room is more than decent, with a firm but soft bed and 3 pillows, fresh sheets and clean bathroom. With microwave too. Breakfast is ok - not much by way of selection but taste...

You never know what you're going to truly get when booking a hotel online. I was glad to see my research persevered, and my choice was perfect for what we were looking for-- a place to spend a milestone birthday without too much hooopla. Although not located in the central area of hotels near Union Station-- I found coming back to this boutique hotel relaxing. Once I ...
Luxury hotels in Canada

2-night stopover on the way to Whistler. We were here over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Pretty quiet time as I guess most people were with their families. The staff did a great job being cheery and welcoming. Although we found that all over Canada too so maybe it's something in their water! :-) Room was great, comfy and felt like a home away from home. Highly re...

I've stayed at many 5 star properties and this hotel is at the top of the list with best bathroom experience ever. Even my 6 yo who has discriminating tastes thought this was the best hotel ever. And the concierge service was amazing. Thanks William!

The owners of this B&B are so kind and hospitable. From the moment we walked in the door until the moment we left it felt like home. The room we stayed it was the hideaway, which was small, but really all we needed. Next time we will go one room up for the jacuzzi. Great quiet location and within walking distance of the town center!

This has been one of my favorite hotel experiences over the past few years (though hotel is not the right term for Middle Beach Lodge). The ocean side view from our room was absolutely beautiful and nothing compares to falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. We stayed in late October, but the weather was really nice and walking along the beach was wonderful. The room...

Really nice view, clean room and great breakfast. Please update your guest policies to indicate children are not welcome:) 4 reasons I would not stay again: 1. We called to ask when check-in was. She could not initially find our reservation. She thanked me for calling as otherwise double bookings can occur. Then she said check-in was between 4 and 6, although she was ...

We stayed for a quick overnight on our drive through Northern Ontario. We booked a room at Mystic Isle without knowing much about it but we’re happily surprised. The rooms were clean and fresh, the water hot and clear. The rooms were filled with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel more like home: nice towels, glass and china cups/mugs, a mini-fridge and tastefu...

Experience was exceptional from check in to check out. King suite. Fireplace. S'mores in the courtyard. Wine tasting in Sidecut. Superb service across the board. Ski Concierge was simple and smooth. Shuttle service [almost] round the clock. Anything requested was provided. Spa was divine. Stunning location with superb views from the room. One of the best hotels ever st...

We just returned from our stay in Room #2 and think they deserve a 10, not a 9.7. It was perfect. Our room was gigantic, spotless and sumptuously decorated, including tastefully arranged vases of fresh flowers, a fireplace, a gigantic tub and fluffy robes. Breakfast was fantastic and different every morning. In addition to fresh fruit, yogurt, fredhly baked scones and...

We stayed just one night but had such an amazing stay! The rooms look directly over the inlet, our room was beautiful and clean, with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast brought to our room in the morning was a treat! Such a gem, we can't wait to come back!

There is construction going on outside, so I asked for high quiet floor. I was put in room that looked right on the construction site on the 6th floor. When I called to the front desk they said they had.a higher, quieter room, but when I went to exchange keys, they said they were mistaken, and gave me a lower room on the 5th floor, away from construction, but still wit...

Spectacular setting, beautiful townhouse with views of the Purcell Mountain Range. So nice. The kitchen was well provisioned, the bathrooms were very well stocked with towels, soap etc. We used the Bar-B-Que a couple of times. So nice, the only change I would make would be too allow local Television. We were very busy and just wanted to check the news and sports f...

The hosts are very nice, giving us very warm welcome. We chatted a lot when having breakfast. Btw the breakfast tasted great. The house was well decorated, and the room was so cozy. It was really an amazing experience to read in such a warm comfortable room.

When to Experience Canada at Its Best
Canada is a year-round destination, and each season offers its own unique highlights. Winter transforms the landscape into a snowy wonderland, perfect for skiing, snowboarding, and cozying up by a fireplace. Popular winter sports can be enjoyed in places like Whistler and Banff, where the slopes are always ready for adventure. The holiday season brings festive markets and seasonal celebrations, making it a magical time to visit cities like Quebec City, known for its enchanting winter carnival.
As spring arrives, the melting snow reveals vibrant flowers and lush greenery.

Travel Tips for an Unforgettable Canadian Adventure
Traveling in Canada can be an exciting adventure, but being prepared can make your experience even better. Understanding local customs and etiquette is essential for a smooth trip. Canadians are known for their politeness, so a simple “thank you” or “please” goes a long way. Tipping is customary in restaurants, typically around 15-20% of the bill. Additionally, familiarize yourself with the metric system, as distances and temperatures are measured in kilometers and Celsius, respectively.
Currency in Canada is the Canadian Dollar (CAD), and it's advisable to have some cash on hand for small purchases. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, but some smaller establishments may prefer cash. For those traveling from markets, it’s a good idea to notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid any issues with card usage abroad. When it comes to language, Canada is officially bilingual, with English and French being the primary languages. While English is predominant in most provinces, French is widely spoken in Quebec, so learning a few basic phrases can enhance your experience.
