Priceline Hotel: 4* Toronto (Downtown South) The Fairmont Royal York

[Adrade]

Started at $90, went to $95, $100, then won at $105. Not sure about this place based on the reviews, but it seems very central and has easy access to public transit. Sounds like the hotel may need quite a bit of work. $210 total plus $38.02 tax.

Congratulations on your success!

This property did win a TA award for luxury hotels, and most of the negative reviews seem to stem from it being a poor value (most to claim it has great service). Given the discounted rate hopefully you'll find it to be a good deal relative to the price paid.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us add this property to the Priceline Hotel List.

Enjoy your stay... let us know your thoughts upon your return.

So, we finished our stay at the Fairmont Royal York. If you like old historical, ornate hotels, this will work for you. We requested a "renovated" room upon check-in, and got a king on the third floor. The rooms are rather small, but the room was comfortable, and honestly, I couldn't imagine what the non-renovated rooms look like if this was a renovated one. The wallpaper was peeling in the bathroom, and fixtures in the bathroom weren't properly installed - things were falling off.

We needed an extra day in Toronto so bid again for our last night, and won at the Marriott, further north, but which was closer to where we wanted to be, and honestly, was a much more comfortable hotel.

As for the Fairmont, I wouldn't really recommend it. It was lovely, and for the price we won it for, it was great - but at full price, I would be a little disappointed.

While not the perfect hotel, glad to hear you found it to be a good value for the price paid.

Thanks for the follow-up and hope you enjoyed your trip.
