I read reviews for this hotel and decided that this is the only place I would be able to stay for my budget. When I first pulled up, I did not think the neighborhood was that bad. And when I first walked in, I did not think it was that bad either. The man at the desk was very friendly... more

The room was a studio efficiency that included a small kitchenette, which I didn’t use. The room included a regular size bed and a twin bed. Not very roomy, but functional. The hotel is located in a residential/light industrial area. Haven’t seen any eating places close by. The hotel is older, is adequately but not exceptionally well maintained, and appears... more

My husband had testsat 9am 2 days in a row at Toronto Western Hospital, and this property is a 5 min walk. I read the reviews and figured it wouldn't be too expensive to stay over. I asked about early check in and they said because it was during the week, that shouldn't be a problem. We actually arrived earlier... more

Spent one night at the Alexandra in October 2008. The hotel was one of the cheapest ones I could find in Downtown Toronto. We were traveling on a budget, and didn't want to spend a lot on accommodations. The rooms were a good size, but a little tired. The beds were comfortable, and the sheets were clean. The bathroom was... more

Positives: The location to the city was good. A short walk to Queen St Wst. It backs onto a small park which has a 50m outdoor public pool in it which was free to use. Transport links were ok. You can take the airport public express bus to Kipling Station then the streetcar from Dundas St Wst Station to nearby... more

We got to Toronto late on a Friday night and did not know where the hotel was located. We spoke with a nice man at the front desk named Greg who kindly explained how to get there. Luckily they have someone at the desk 24 hours a day so that was of great convenience. The room was small but cozy... more

We chose the Alexandra because of its location and for the free internet connection. It was such a good choice! The neighborhood is happening enough that there's things to do within walking distance, but not so overrun with tourists that you feel like you're in Disneyworld. Time Horton's is across the lovely little park, so perfect for morning coffee runs... more

After looking at the reviews on this hotel we thought it would not be a bad place to stay for the price. The hotel was OK, very dated, but the area was awful, very run down. It took us an hour to find it by foot and when we asked a police man where it was he did not know... more

My friend and I stayed at the Alexandra Hotel in June of 2008. It was completely affordable, and in a great location! It's in a residential area, so it felt safe enough to explore by foot. It's only 2 blocks off Queen Street, close to several local markets and great stores. The room had a small kitchette, so we made... more
