7 Hotels with Rooftop Bar in Toronto

1. The Broadview Hotel Nearby restaurants: * Lady Marmalade * Tabule * Il Ponte Nearby attractions: * The Opera House * Lob Toronto * Chez Nous Wine Bar Let’s see how people review this hotel This was our second week at the new diner. The delightful person who waited our table, Victoria, came with experience to this new diner. It is in the location of what was another local hang out. The decor is new and fun, music 50s/60s but not obtrusive, there is a pleasant diner vibe, but not overly slick like some American chains. The food was good, prices reasonable, AC working on very  hot day( but they need blinds), it was spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. - suemB4875UR Cute rooms,  nice staff, good food, great value, awesome neighbourhood. A staycation favourite! Comfortable beds, spacious, loved the record player and kitchenette, we got a room with a balcony which was nice for fresh air. Nice and quiet, surprisingly!  Riverdale is an awesome area with great shops, and a little further and you’re in Leslieville, with eclectic food and shopping. The best place to stay in the East end. - rebeccagO6571FT A very nice boutique hotel, the sparkling & still water in the hallway is such a nice touch. The record player is so cool. The room was clean and cute. The bathroom was beautiful & all of the soaps and lotion on the wall was very convenient. I will definitely visit again and recommend to friends & family. - TravelMI04 Hotel Info * 106 Broadview Ave Queen St & Broadview Ave, Toronto, Ontario M4M 2G1 Canada 2. Park Hyatt Toronto Nearby restaurants: * STK Toronto * Planta Yorkville * Trattoria Nervosa Nearby attractions: * Royal Conservatory of Music * Royal Ontario Museum * Bata Shoe Museum Let’s see how people review this hotel Around the corner from all the luxury stores and well located in general. Room was nice; maybe a bit understated or basic for the brand. But, the service was really great — consistently there to open doors, greet you, and super responsive via text message. Overall a very pleasant business stay and I would be happy to come back, mainly due to the staff. - mdriess We had a standard room that exceeded expectation on every level starting with the layout which was not your standard set up.  The mini bar, Nespresso machine and drinks cabinet in the 'entrance lobby was a classy touch and the bathroom was beautifully designed and finished with a huge walk in rain shower. The good quality bluetooth speaker was another big plus as were the low lights that came on if you needed the bathroom in the middle of the night. Every member of staff was always polite and always helpful and went out of their way if you needed advice or directions on where to go in Toronto. Perfectly positioned for the Museum, Casa Loma and a really swish shopping district.  Jump on the Metro at Museum station and you can be at Union (for the CN Tower, Aquarium, Blue Jays Stadium etc.) in 15 mins. - Crossbadger We stayed at the Hyatt on a family trip to Toronto. The staff was very professional and friendly. The property was very modern, clean, and conveniently located near shops and Wholefood. I highly recommend this property! - 127calvinl Hotel Info * view website * 1 (437) 747-6411 * 4 Avenue Rd, Toronto, Ontario M5R 2E8 Canada 3. The Drake Hotel Nearby restaurants: * The Drake Hotel * The Good Son Restaurant * Caffino Nearby attractions: * Lamport Stadium * Sweaty Betty's * The Funhouse Toronto Let’s see how people review this hotel Loved this art filled hotel. Totally enjoyed every nook and cranny. The restaurant, café, sky bar were all terrific. The Malin & Goetz Bath products were wonderful as were the dispensers. I would def return to this hotel. - cheryll111 You must reserve parking in advance, as they do not have adequate space. We parked a block away and it was about the same price. Everyone was so accommodating adn friendly, the bar and restaurant are patronized by regulars and locals, in addition to hotel guests and the food was really good. The area is still in development, but there are lots of great spots to dine within walking distance. Most things you'd want to visit as a tourist are not walkable and driving there is a nightmare. Parking gets pricey too, nowhere is it free, - bucksbabe1720 I just have to give all of my appreciation to this hotel. I received a phone call from Tarrin today regarding my stay. I had booked this hotel through Expedia. We had an out of province family emergency and in all the chaos and stress I completely forgot to cancel my reservation. I sent an email to the hotel explaining my situation and received a phone call today saying the would reverse all charges. I cannot explain how grateful and appreciative I am.  Top notch compassion and customer service. I will not hesitate to book here again.  Once again thank you. - F6144BUamberh Hotel Info * view website * 1 (647) 799-5532 * 1150 Queen St W, Toronto, Ontario M6J 1J3 Canada 4. 1 Hotel Toronto Nearby restaurants: * Jacobs & Co.

From the minute we were blown away by the decor and ambiance. Being big food enthusiasts and having been to highly renowned restaurants all around the world, we were especially impressed by our server Roberts. He was one of the best servers I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with. He was very kind and knowledgeable and made our experience an unforgettable one. I’ll definitely be coming back! - m0inurk Wonderful overall experience.  Starting from the car valet, check-in, room, food, beverages, service, amenities, and location the choice could not be surpassed!  Loved the signature fragrance in the lobby, soft fluffy white towels, comfy duvet, natural wood decor, and Nespresso machine with stone cups.  The hotel staff epitomizes professionalism and warmth. - onlygoodplaces The most wonderful experience at Casa Madera!!

Great views of the city and very spacious rooms. It ticked off everything for a good quality hotel experience. There's lots to do within the hotel as well (like cinema theatre and great restaurants/bars) - bilianabg We got married in 2019 at Hotel X and we can't describe how happy we were with everything. From the professionalism of the staff, customer service, the beauty of the hotel, the food, the views, even the smell, everything was perfect. We just had our one year anniversary stay and were blown away. We stayed in one of their magnificent corner King Suites overlooking the CN tower, downtown core, Toronto islands and Lake Ontario. We enjoyed the outdoor heated pool and lots of room service (which was delicious). If you are looking for a cozy staycation at an incredible hotel, you will not be disappointed!! We can't wait to go back. - Travelbug888888 Hotel X exceeded expectations from the incredible guest service from the time you arrive until the end of your stay, to the stunning views and beautiful decor!

W Toronto Nearby restaurants: * Planta Yorkville * Blu Ristorante * Café Boulud Toronto Nearby attractions: * Toronto Public Library * CAA Theatre * Artful Dodger Let’s see how people review this hotel W Hotels does it again! I love the look, vibe and experience at W properties so was naturally inclined to stay at the first W in Ontario. I highly recommend this hotel for people traveling with families. The front desk staff (Priscilla) along with the whenever/wherever team (Curtis & Angelica), went above and beyond to make the stay memorable for my family. We celebrated a birthday here and they were so kind to give our children treats and make them feel special by giving them a card and decorating our room. Everyone from the valet to security team went out of their way to say hello and seemed genuinely happy to be there. The room was spacious, with comfortable beds and located right in the heart of Yorkville. We can’t wait to come back. In the sea of sameness that are hotels, W Toronto is a clear standout. - williamsO8311UW Wow, hi tech, well thought out and just a neat place. From the retro Frigidaire to the curtains that close after a tug, everything is brand new, high end and functional. Outdoors in the 9th floor restaurant is great but you will need reservations. Connected to the Bloor subway station with zero street noise, The staff fit the place and are eager to help - eric_t185 Well despite a couple of so so reviews we stayed at this beautifully located hotel…first the area is spectacular with loads of shopping and restaurants and near the ROM. Checkin was easy and the staff very friendly.  Our room was smallish but fantastic with an amazing view.  Breakfast was terrific and again the staff very friendly.  But the roof top on a nice evening was absolutely the topper.  Yes give this a try!,, - C8691AFrandym Hotel Info * view website * 1 (844) 631-0595 * 90 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario M4W 1A7 Canada 7.

Staff lovely and friendly. They hosted socials every evening. Greats quiz night and an amazing car crawl. Breakfast supplies provide in the am. Great location easy to get to everything. Public transport route right outside - 792michaelak Safe, friendly, comfortable, clean.... spent a wonderful time here. Beds are large and comfy, showers great. The whole place has a lovely, chilled vibe. Staff are really friendly and happy to help in any way they can. The whole place is cleaned daily. Spacious communal areas and their roof top is amazing. Really reasonable price, oh and breakfast included and available till 2pm!!! Recommend 1000%. 🙂 - Meander510876 Best hostel I've stayed at in years. Julie who checked me in was lovely, also had a great time chatting to Anthony the owner at (free) breakfast in the morning. Comfy, clean, friendly. Enough space that you can chill by yourself if you need to but also the perfect place to meet people. Rooftop bar/social area! Reception area with a fireplace, comfy couches and a TV, always people to chat to. Big kitchen, plenty of seating. Wish I could've stayed longer than one night! I'll be back again one day. - 168lachies Hotel Info * 357 College St, Toronto, Ontario M5T 1S5 Canada

8 hotels with a variety of decor you can't miss in Oshawa

1. The Hazelton Hotel Nearby restaurants: * STK Toronto * Planta Yorkville * Trattoria Nervosa Nearby attractions: * Royal Conservatory of Music * Royal Ontario Museum * Yorkville Village Let’s see how people review this hotel We arrived at the Hazelton Hotel too early to check in! The welcoming receptionist asked us if we would mind having lunch in the restaurant and that our room would be ready by the time we finished eating.  They came and let us know that our room was ready.  Every member of staff was so accommodating and welcoming from the moment we arrived until they had put our luggage in the car to take us to the airport.  I have never had that experience before.  We loved everything about The Hazelton from the service to the bed linen to the general ambiance, and of course the position, right in the heart of Yorkeville. - susansF2847HL Location was simply perfect for our first visit to Toronto. The hotel design was spectacular in every way (but honestly for the price I was expecting nothing less). What sets this hotel far apart from its competitors, locally and globally, is the service. From pulling up to the valet and from every moment beyond we were simply blown away by the attention to detail. Our pillow preference, the way we like the temperature set, the COOKIES, the fact that we have 3 last names in our family and they addressed us all properly (no easy fete), help with everything and anything, welcoming our brand new granddaughter with as much excitement as we had and on and on and on! The ONE restaurant also truly exceeded our expectations. We are extensive travelers and former food industry employees (a lifetime ago but the passion is still there) and frankly tend to not favor hotel restaurants. Even at the highest end they are usually necessary amenities and nothing ultimately exciting.  You must ignore the price point (which is very high) and dive in. The menu is thoughtful and current without being trendy and is executed to perfection. We had 5 meals there in our 4 days and honestly couldn't even rate which was best. Special thanks to Angela and Alejandra who made us feel more like family, (very honored and treasured family, mind you) than simply hotel guests.  Regards to the entire team, day, night and everyone in between as well. We are forever grateful and look forward to coming back. - diannavecchio My husband and I stayed at The Hazelton in September of 2022. Our experience was above and beyond what we imagined. We were treated like a King and Queen. Our room was beautiful and luxurious, and our dinner and breakfast at ONE Restaurant were perfect. The pool and spa were incredibly relaxing. The staff was really what stood out. I think that's what separates The Hazelton from the rest. They were incredibly friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our Anniversary special. We can't wait to go back and do it all over again. Unforgettable! - HVioletArt Hotel Info * view website * 1 (647) 696-8720 * 118 Yorkville Ave, Toronto, Ontario M5R 1C2 Canada 2. 1 Hotel Toronto Nearby restaurants: * Jacobs & Co.

Bisha Hotel Toronto Nearby restaurants: * ALO RESTAURANT * Sportsnet Grill * Pai Northern Thai Kitchen Nearby attractions: * Royal Alexandra Theatre * Princess of Wales Theatre * The Second City Toronto Let’s see how people review this hotel This was my first visit to Bisha Toronto…Very Impressed…arrived earlier than the standard check in of 4pm…only wanted to start the check in process , didn’t need access to room just have my luggage stored  as I had external meetings..no problem…was advised I would receive a text message when room was ready…received text well in advance of the 4pm from Doris…when arrived Michael at front desk  just needed ID and less than 5mins completed and luggage retrieved..great room ..love the unique décor..special attention to many aspects…wasn’t able to dine at KOST that night…morning call to front desk with couple questions and at same time ask for reservation for breakfast at KOST…again will confirm via text and again within 5mins confirmed…had look at breakfast menu night before ..already decided on Eggs Benedict …reservation for 10am ..was seated in area not too busy …order quickly taken …within 20 minutes the area filled up …my waiter (forgot his name ) regularly stopped by to make sure I was good ..refills with coffee and water etc.…the Eggs Benedict did not disappoint!..checked out at noon ..again needed luggage stored till around 3pm as meetings …no problem..when I returned Michael who wasn’t on shift in the morning welcomed me with hello Mr Faulkner …it’s the little things…I travel in the real estate industry ..without question will return..actually cant wait... Michael Faulkner - michaelfX6747BQ Celebrated a milestone at Bisha with my friends. My stay was seamless from start to finish with outstanding service and amenities. Views are unparalleled but the service is what makes Bisha the best in Toronto. Kost was excellent with fresh flavours-the calamari is a favourite. The pool area is relaxing and refreshing-great cocktail list.  Cannot wait to return to Bisha again. - Siasjourneys Had an excellent time at Bisha. It was our anniversary and Karan made sure we had a good time. He was kind enough to give us a complimentary upgrade to a bette room. Will definitely visit again.

The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto Nearby restaurants: * Sportsnet Grill * Pai Northern Thai Kitchen * Michael's on Simcoe Nearby attractions: * Ripley's Aquarium of Canada * CN Tower * Royal Alexandra Theatre Let’s see how people review this hotel We stayed as 3 couples each in a Deluxe K with Club Access.  Well appointed rooms with good storage and well lit bathrooms (didn’t love the pillows but never asked for a change.  If I had, no doubt it would have been accommodated).  Great amenities.  Everything you would expect of a premier Ritz.  However, the Staff made it EXCEPTIONAL.  From the front desk to the Club Lounge, the staff could not do more to make us comfortable.  The lounge was very well stocked, many great options with good food offerings and a well stocked bar.  Well laid out and never felt crowded.  Views were amazing.  Checking staff was excellent.  Despite our status, hotel was full and we weren’t upgraded but we didn’t really need it.  Location is very central to everything.  My only gripe (minor) was the Doorman.  They were not attentive or as helpful as we are accustomed to at a Ritz.  Wasn’t consequential for a two day stay.  Spa was nice and relaxing.  Massage was good. - rimavh The Ritz-Carlton Visit, So we had another great stay at The Ritz, this time for my birthday, my wife was unable to join us so it was just myself and my daughter. We had decided this time to get the corner suite, initially without the club lounge access. After booking Shea from Guest Experiences had reached out to me, offering suggestions, booking us in to the newly opened Epoch, also bookings for TOCA as well pre booked, I had a lot of interaction with Shea prior to arrival. This was a new experience for us, a lot of text comms on booking and checking on our itineraries etc as well as emails going back and forward, which was a very nice touch.  Pre-booking reservations I think is a great idea. After a long Friday night drive through downtown traffic, we arrived fairly late and I checked in with Elizabeth, as I was checking in I  was surprised, pleasantly surprised to be greeted by GM Mr. Guillame Benezach who came over to welcome us and say hi. It was great seeing him again and he had gone through great lengths (through our comms) in putting wheels in motion to ensure our stay was great. Now, it had been some years that we had the suite and something was amiss, the room seemed a bit too dark although it was night time and some of the facilities in the room which were previously in the last suite, such as the TV in the bathroom mirrors and heated bathroom floors, also the dividing door was gone. It also looked like the mini-bar/honour bar had gone and a new design of what appeared to be an old style traveling case in place albeit with in-built mini fridge, tea and coffee station. Perhaps there is no demand for this anymore? Although I must admit having a full stocked honor bar is an awesome feeling but I guess people may just be asking an empty fridge to put their own drinks and candy’s in there. I also guess it makes things easier. The writing desk was also not in the main bedroom but in the joining section in-between the bedroom and the sitting area however it did have a built in make-up mirror/light with plug points in there, so fine for doing your make up, but no good for working and a bit weird that there were no power points at the desk top. I’m not sure if I could have routed my laptop to those points but I found some at floor level As a rewards member we had free wifi and it was fast and we were both able to watch youtube on both my own laptop and the TV’s. We had a couple of movie nights and pop-corn to boot which was fantastic. But I couldn’t still get the feeling that this was not quite right, I did want my daughter who didn’t remember her last trip to be as wowed and amazed as I was. Although that said she was actually amazed at the whole room saying how awesome the suite was and her jaw totally dropped on entering the room. Still, I went down to have a chat with Elizabeth who really understood what my concerns where and in true Ritz form, was 100% customer focused on trying to help out. I knew this experience could be better. At this point I met Shea for the first time, who had a lovely gift for my daughter and did explain the main changes in the Ritz and the room redesign but did want me to be happy with my room choices so she suggested a higher floor. I also reconsidered my option for the club lounge. Now this room had a totally different feel, much brighter and it was then that I realised that although the room layout was the same it was actually a brighter, lighter colour carpet that was different. This brightens up the room no end also the higher floor gave more light to the room the view was better and bingo like that we were set. (so tip one, you do need a higher floor, 19 or higher). Both Shea and Elizabeth really made my concerns not seem over the top, you are paying good money and they want you to be happy with the product. I remember apologizing profusely, I felt like some diva who wasn’t getting what she wanted LOL but no, they totally understood and wanted everything to be right, everything to be up to Ritz standard. We dined at Epoch that evening it was great to see Carleen and the food was out of this world. We decided to get best bang for our buck by doing 2 full days of club lounge and to be honest, you really have to think, when you do the math, the club lounge IS WELL WORTH it, you basically have food offerings 5 times a day. Unlimited soft drinks and alcohol, you are staying at a 5 star hotel, when you think for 2 people what you are paying for club lounge you are ACTUALLY saving money but it’s NOT just the food and drink offerings. You are paying for a little piece of relaxation you are dining in style, a beautiful view of the lake, attentive staff this…THIS you cannot put a dollar figure to the staff are able to secure discounts on attractions, make you out of this world cocktails, fantastic cappuccino’s, they offer suggestions and more ! You have to understand, YES you can go out and get a $20 breakfast BUT you are here to relax, enjoy and be pampered, this is what you don’t see when look at prices when booking. From Saturday to Monday we were pretty much stuffed with all the little food offerings. Often nipping up to grab a coffee, a candy or a pop, almost like nipping into your very own BUT well stocked kitchen for a bite to eat, and taking back some bagels or a pastry to your room after breakfast is a must. For the real true Ritz experience if you DO NOT GO club lounge you are missing out. This time round we didn’t go Toca, the offerings were not really to my taste, all though they all sounded exquisite, my daughter was more keen on going out and hitting the night life, although I knew the service would not be the same, my birthday dinner at Moxies which is just across the street was very "lackluster" but when you have an 11 year old fine dining is not really what they are after. Maybe next time. However we made it back to the lounge and Olga made a fantastic take on a Cosmo for me and of course who birthday needs cake when you have The Ritz desserts. I’m not sure why the Ritz Bar was closed, but that was a really nice buzzing place. Very bright and vibrant, a nice place for breakfast and lunch and to hang out in, maybe Epoch is the new Ritz Bar ? but as we had the club lounge we didn’t miss out. My daughter of course LOVED the hot tub and swimming pool and it was just great to relax, the remit for this weekend was RELAX, get pampered and celebrate, my wife def missed out on this weekend. Although there were some glitches and I do mean, very minor ones, the overall experience you just cannot beat, one thing that The Ritz has, it has fantastic grade A customer service EVERYONE you meet from the front door guy’s, the bell, the valets are all totally awesome I mean where else will you see a hotel GM come and greet you. Where else will you see guest experience staff who REALLY DO want to make your experience great. I’ve been to The Ritz now 5 times, by far my most favourite place to stay and relax. It is more expensive than most hotels but you have to understand this is a 5 Star hotel, If you can’t finance a suite go for a deluxe guest room you won’t be disappointed. If a suite YOU must get a high floor. And you MUST, absolutely MUST get club lounge access. I want to give a BIG thank you to ALL the fantastic and hard working Ladies and Gentlemen of The Ritz, the club lounge staff, Shea and of course Mr Benzech for taking the trouble to see that everything was perfect for us. I’m still eyeing up the banquet hall, maybe for a wedding LOL (mind you I have about 8 years to start saving for that!) I hope pictures will be posted here I have 2 video’s on “youtube”, so do visit me on adrianjayonline for those. - Z1460MIadrianj I stayed at the Ritz Carlton Toronto in a corner suite room for 6 nights in September 2022. The hotel was busy during the early days of my stay due to TIFF. Despite that, the staffs always managed to recognize me, talked to me, and sincerely were caring towards my purposes during the stay. They were always attentive and strived to make my stay more comfortable. A front desk staff, Kateryna, was always very attentive, polite, and friendly. She took care of me in solving some minor issues with my room, ensuring my safety with an incident in the lobby, and printing an important document late at night that eventually saved me a lot of time in my travel later on. The room was luxurious and comfortable, with everything working properly. Mineral water were given generously twice a day. Bathroom was luxurious with a very important feature, an automatic toilet. Bedroom was homey and serene, inducing good night rest. The bed was a bit too soft for me but I still managed to rest comfortably. Location of the hotel is excellent. Lots of dining options are available nearby. Theaters are also within short walking distance. Quite a number of unique and wonderful locally owned coffee places are within walking distance as well. All in all, I would love to be back at Ritz Carlton Toronto in the future. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay there.  - Fkristan Hotel Info * view website * 1 (844) 631-0595 * 181 Wellington St W, Toronto, Ontario M5V 3G7 Canada 6. Four Seasons Hotel Toronto Nearby restaurants: * STK Toronto * Planta Yorkville * Trattoria Nervosa Nearby attractions: * Toronto Public Library * Yorkville Village * Cineplex Odeon Varsity and VIP Cinemas Let’s see how people review this hotel We decided to stay at the Four Seasons because of its location and reputation.  We were not disappointed.  The room was comfortable and stylishly well appointed.  The food and service were great at both the Bar Lounge and the main dining room, Cafe Buloud.  In particular our servers Lucas @ D Bar Lounge and Shay @ Cafe Buloud looked after us very well.  The location was perfect as we could easily walk to all the places we wanted to go to during our 4 day Yorkville culinary adventure. - waynegm54 Had a fantastic stay as usual. I had stayed there for my 50th birthday with two friends in December and had a great time in spite of the fact that the city was in lockdown mode. Fast forward to July where I could finally have a party downtown and celebrate with friends and family. It was fitting that I spend the weekend  at one of my favourite places on Toronto aside from my condo. I missed seeing Francis at the porte cochere, he always gives me a warm welcome.  I did get to see him when I was back three weeks later, thank you Francis! Front desk wished me a happy belated birthday which was a nice touch. My Deluxe one bedroom suite was amazing of course, spacious and super comfortable. I would recommend it for families as there are two bathrooms and a sofa bed and did I say lots of space? Well I was traveling alone and had the whole thing to myself ha! I was unable to get a spa treatment as they were fully booked. A word of advice to book the spa early to avoid disappointment as they are EXTREMELY popular!  I did go and enjoy the pool and had drink while I was at it. Brunch at Cafe Boulud was absolutely in order. Lizelle  who is always lovely gave me a warm welcome and got me seated and Kulpreet who was new took really good care of me. I only knew he was new because I had never seen him before, his service and knowledge was impeccable, nicely done! Had a great time at Dbar as well lunch at DAzur, always great food, no complaints whatsoever. I went to visit Sonia in the gift shop who is always lovely. They were out of the bath scent I like and only had the smaller packets. She didn’t give up and called up to the spa to check if they had the larger size and they did, so I took my usual bubble bath with a book and a nice glass of red. Thank you again Four Seasons for a fantastic two days, as always I was in good hands and well taken care of! - Sipsster The hotel is conveniently locate, has nice facilities, and excellent service. I have nothing but positive things to say about my stay and overall experience. If I am in the area again, I will definitely choose this hotel. - travel31221331 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (416) 964-0411 * 60 Yorkville Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4W 0A4 Canada 7.

Got us our room early and helped us so much. He is excellent. The stay was great and bed was very comfortable. Great location. We were close to everything. - 651safis I have been staying at the Shangri La Toronto almost once a month during the pandemic. It is my trip away from home known as a staycation. I got to say, although I have stayed at all the 5 star hotels in Toronto, the staff at the SL really make you feel special. Albeit, I’m now considered a regular, their service never waivers, but they always try to maintain consistency with exceptional service. From the valet with Marlon who is always helpful with charging our hybrid car or forgetting something in it, to the front desk staff from Viktoria, Dean and Willow in making checkin seamless, to the room service staff which are always so friendly and accommodating. Now, I understand during the pandemic staffing at hotels have been challenging so getting assistance might not be as readily, but they do make the best efforts to make your experience memorable. Lastly, the CNY/Lunar high tea was amazing. The dim sum portion was top notch. Kudos to the chef and staff. I’m still craving them and it’s been 5 days! If you are looking for a stay in the city, come to the Shangri La. You won’t regret it! - Smilesandgiggles I would go back to the Shangri-la Toronto tomorrow if I could. Despite a rocky check-in (they wouldn't accept my type of credit card for the check-in and wouldn't take a cash/debit deposit), the team was incredibly patient and professional. I was there on a solo staycation, and can say that every convenience at this hotel was afforded to me. Every staff member knew my name and remembered the smallest details I'd requested, ensuring anyone else who was servicing me was made aware and I didn't have to repeat my request a single time (tipping well may have aided in that experience too, though) The room, the facilities, the spa (fantastic spa btw), even from the valet, there was not a single moment where the team was not ensuring I had the highest standard of service. Having travelled to other "luxury" brands in other cities, I was pleasantly surprised that my best experience was in my own home town. Definitely returning and will look to visiting their other hotels when I travel to other cities.  - 294kebaw Hotel Info * view website * 1 (647) 788-8888 * 188 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5H 0A3 Canada 8. One King West Hotel & Residence Nearby restaurants: * Richmond Station * C'est what? * Canoe Restaurant & Bar Nearby attractions: * Levelup Reality * Hockey Hall of Fame * St James Anglican Cathedral Let’s see how people review this hotel Happily 1KW once again proved their excellence in friendly and effective customer service from the moment of arriving on the polished marble doorstep, even when that moment was around midnight. Reservations took great care to find the right room as described and to keep me in it throughout my  separately-made reservations and it made my stay perfect! Just as perfect and important were Rachel and Jenny at the front desk. They made every effort to meet and exceed any expectations or requests and did so with resourcefulness and genuine warmth and caring. (Thank you Rachel for tracking me down, but actually cleverly solving things so that you didn't even need to!) Behind all is the best kept secret - Lazara- who is a magician behind the scenes and makes everything better. Cleanliness is excellent and Cafe staff great, with lots of options provided. The only thing I miss is a pool, but guests told me they love the hot tub. The lake and city views make up for less water to actually splash around in and the hotel is close to everything! - M249CBcarolynb I've stayed at One King twice this year. I orginally booked because the price was reasonable and the location was great. After staying there in April I returned because I was so impressed with the hotel. It is very well kept and clean. Both of my rooms had great views of the CN tower and city.  The beds are comfortable, more on the firm side, which I prefer.  I bought food and used the kitchenette every day for breakfast. Front desk and the bell staff are courteous and attentive. I found all the staff, regardless of if they were helping me, to be exceptionally kind.  Whenever I was in the elevator with someone they would smile, greet me and strike up a conversation. The location is a short walk to the arena, train station, and there are so many great restaurants within minutes of the hotel. I loved going to the Daily Ritual Cafe (which is attached to the hotel)  in the morning, grabbing a coffee and walking around the corner to Berczy park to people watching.  Overall it's just solid hotel with great staff. I look forward to my next stay. - Skmoon The best location in downtown Toronto, very nice building the historical and the tower for amazing views. The staff very helpful and friendly from the fist you enter the hotel Welcoming by Mathew to our luggages  to level 39, h’s very funny and helpful guy and professional. Thanks again to all staff at the front desk and at the bar and restaurant. - kimmels2019 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (866) 470-5464 * 1 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 1A1 Canada

11 Unique Hotels in Canada

1. Hotel De Glace Nearby restaurants: * Delices Thai * O’Grill * Resto Safari Nearby attractions: * Hôtel de Glace * Valcartier Vacation Village * Bora Parc Valcartier Let’s see how people review this hotel If I could give this place more than 6 stars I would. Before coming here and making a booking I researched extensively the reviews from other's of Hotel de Glacé. So many people have these expectations that it should be like a normal regular hotel experience, it’s an Ice Hotel and will never be like a normal hotel. If you can get a booking into this place, you are definitely in for a treat. I could take a million photos and videos being there and still not capture the true perspective and experience of everything. If you love art, design, engineering, culture, unique experiences, or want to check off bucket list items, Hotel de Glacé  should definitely be on your list of places to visit. My wife and I recently stayed in suite 23 on March 9, 2022. The suite cost $1005.00 for the one night. With this you get a huge room with fire  🔥 place and PRIVATE sauna and hot tub (spa). Some might say it’s a lot of money for. Hotel room. But It’s an incredible deal if you actually take a look at what you’re getting. People spend $1000 to stay at a fancy hotel, get a good seat at a hockey game or concert. Spending this amount of money is most definitely worth it. For the $1005.00 you are not only getting a suite in the Hotel de Glace, you are also getting a suite at the Hotel Val Cartier, which will act as a your back up room, change room etc. The Hotel de Glace keeps the hallway lights on during the night, there is no secured doors for any of the guest rooms, the doors are  just blocked off by curtains. To me all this is ok, during the night Hotel de Glace staff were walking around throughout the hotel. All the staff I met were incredibly nice, and thankful we were there. You could tell they we’re proud they worked at the ice hotel given the uniqueness of this place. Many of the staff were happy to take photos, help with starting our fire, lifting the hot tub cover off for us, putting a chair in place to help accommodate my disability, making drink suggestions at the ice bar, and explaining how best to use the sleeping bag while in the ice hotel. Many of the staff were able to speak English and I never felt negatively judged for not being able to speak French. I will always remember what one of the staff members said after I said thanks for taking our photo, he said “no problem our guests are like royalty here” The taxi fare was $66 one way from the Fairmont Château Frontenac. It’s important to remember that if you’re following your vehicles navigation system it will guide you to the previous location of Hotel de Glace. The Hotel de Glace location changed 4 years ago to the property of Hotel Val Cartier (so this is the place you want to put into your navigation system) There are only two Ice Hotels in the entire world  and Quebec Canada is fortunate to have one of them. For an experience of a life time book this place it’s so much fun and you will have a life long memory to share with friends, I’m going to post a ton of photos to help you out. - AccessibleTravelGuy I went to great lengths to get here for a day visit ($30) -- without a car, it is quite a pain to get to from Quebec City. A taxi will run you $70. If you go during a non-peak time (e.g. weekday morning), you will be able to find an Uber for $50 (but you must taxi back to the city, as they have no Ubers in Valcartier). Normally, there is a shuttle bus package via Vieux Quebec Tours but it is was cancelled due to COVID (but re-opens today, Feb. 5, 2022). That being said, I am so glad I came here!! What a unique and special experience. Your day ticket allows you to spend as much time as you like wandering around the hotel rooms, bars, and chapel. There is even a little ice slide that I definitely tried a few times. There is currently no guided tour but that was fine with me, as there are information panels throughout and a short audio introduction you can listen to on your phone by scanning the QR code. From reading old reviews, it sounds like the day tours used to include a drink at the bar, so that was the only thing I missed out on. Every year the hotel is constructed from scratch and tons of hours day and night go into creating the structure and then adding all the unique snow and ice sculptures and decorations. I loved that there is a room where you can see some of the equipment they use to create the hotel. They posted on instagram Jan. 30 that all phases of the building were completed, so I was lucky to visit after that. I guess you can still go earlier but certain parts will be under construction. It's a photographer's dream here and really magnificent to see what can be done with snow and ice. When you need to warm up, you can go to the Hotel Valcartier and the adjoining building where there are restaurants, shops, washrooms, and a spa. Note that some are closed right now due to COVID. You are required to wear a face mask inside the ice hotel. I would recommend bringing an extra face mask to change into afterwards, because after wandering around in the cold wearing an N95 mask, your breath will likely create humidity inside the mask that will freeze. So it's not very comfortable after you go indoors, when your mask defrosts and gets damp. Reserve your ticket online ahead of time on their website. - TO-psych Beautiful hotel built every year made entirely of ice. It has an ice bar, slide, and all the comfortable amenities you would expect from a lodging facility. You actually do sleep very well in your room thanks to an insulated blanket that keeps you toasty and warm. If you decide to stay there as a guest or visit the wondrous hotel as a tourist for the day it's truly a unique and magical winter experience for all to enjoy. - Passenger33120578611 Hotel Info * 2280, Boulevard Valcartier, Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec G0A 4S0 Canada 2. Fantasyland Hotel Nearby restaurants: * Old Spaghetti Factory (West Edmonton Mall) * 1st RND WEM * L2 Grill Nearby attractions: * West Edmonton Mall * World Waterpark * Galaxyland Let’s see how people review this hotel Every thing Was very good. Lots of shopping and really good prices. Don’t shop no where else. You do not even have to leave the Edmonton mall every thing is their you need.  Every kind of food you want. Lots of things to do for kids and adults.  - debbiemcnabb59 This was our third time staying at Fantasy Land Hotel WEM. The first time we had the Alberta Suite, the second time we had a Space Theme Room and this time we went with the Superior Roman. While the suite and theme room were amazing and we had no regrets, they can be quite pricey, but let me tell you I highly recommend the Superior 'Themed' rooms (which are offered in Princes, Roman or Polynesian). They are only $15-$30 a night more than a regular Superior room (the cheapest rooms in the hotel) and yet they are pleasantly themed (well done). Lots of space in these Superior rooms, very clean, your floor is themed (hallways). You get the theme fun experience for a way cheaper price but get all of the services including 50% off mall passes. LOVED IT....AGAIN. Highly recommended for the resort high quality feel and of course the fun, unique experience and CONVENIENCE!  - CuriousCanuk Staff is really friendly and the hotel is right above the mall. If you are tired, simply go back up to catch tom Zzz, if you are ready just head down to the galaxy land to catch more fun. Overall hotel is clean and organized. But the price of the hotels sky rockets a couple of days before our trip and we didn't get to book the space theme... - sungyent Hotel Info * 17700 87 Ave NW, Edmonton, Alberta T5T 4V4 Canada 3. Blachford Lake Lodge Let’s see how people review this hotel We enjoyed the most marvellous three days here.  The main attraction was to see the Aurora, a long held dream, and we were luck enough to see a wonderful display on our first night.  It was quite wondrous and to see it in the absolute wilderness just outside our lodge was just perfect.  We had more Aurora the next night though not quite as vivid or extensive but the Lodge offers much more.  The three walking trails offer a wonderful feel of this remote area.  By October  when we visited most of the birdlife had migrated south but the walks are still great.  The staff are excellent and the meals were hearty and fulfilling. And my highlight, apart from the Northern Lights of course, was catching (and it's all catch and release) 9 Northern Pikefish (one of about 20 pounds) in about 75 minutes  on a fishing trip one afternoon, so don't let anyone tell you it's too late to catch fish in the lake in October!    This is a  "must do" trip and well worth the excursion north.  You'll see a different, but a fabulous, part of Canada - gregh628 My son and his fiance live in Yellowknife and took us out to the lodge for 4 days.  Winter is the optimum time to visit for the Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) viewing (as near continious light in summer).  They will wake you up if you request.  There are % predictions, but you never know when they will show and for how long.  There is a Sauna (in the bush) and Hot Tub by the lodge.  Track set cross country skiiing, a skating rink and hiking.  Lots of skates, skis and snowshoes to borrow.  Ice fishing is available.  Snowmobiling tours too (including novice tours).  The only way in is by float/ski plane - Twin Otter via Air Tindi.  You can snowmobile in, or ski/hike if you are nuts ;-)   All activities center on the lodge.  There are 5 guest rooms in the lodge and a half dozen cabins; well spaced, but close.  All rooms/cabins have at least a double bed and more bunk beds.  They could throretically fit 4-8 people in each room.  The cabins have electricity (lights and outlets), a sink with jug water, and a wood stove for heat.  There is an (totally) odor-free compost toilet.  The lodge is fully heated and has shared showers and running water.  This is "Rustic Chic".  The food is home style and excellent.  They can accomodate special food needs.  We had a Gluten-Free and a Peanut Alergy in our party.  Always listed GF Options and "No Peanut" items listed for each meal.  There is a well stocked bar in the lodge (good wine and a selection of single malts).   "Art" and other activites for adults and kids.  The staff are super-helpful and friendly.  Most of the staff are from outside of North America. - Oakville89 Beautiful rustic lodge on secluded Blachford Lake.  We live in Texas.  We made a visit to Blachford Lake Lodge in July 2022.  We have never been to Northwest Territories, Canada.  We only had the online reviews to determine if we would make the 3,200-mile trip.  So glad we did.  Best vacation ever.  the lodge's 5-star reviews were accurate.  Amy was helpful and offered information as we planned our trip.  We flew into Yellowknife and took the sea plane to the lodge.  Beautiful views, peaceful and remote surrounded by nature.  the small group of lodge staff were welcoming and very accommodating.  The lodge was comfortable and clean.  Tash wanted to make sure we were having fun and doing all the activities we wanted to do.  David made us three delicious meals each day.  Multiple food choices.  All were prepared fresh and so good.  We enjoyed the lodge's dining area.  The views of the lake are unforgettable.  the lodge rooms were better than expected.  We saw beautiful sunsets from the room's large windows.  The beds were comfortable.  there were many fun activities available.  We had much fun hiking, swimming, boating, and fishing.  The hot tube and sauna were wonderful.  We learned about native plants and made an incredible spruce salve.  You can stay busy or just relax and enjoy the unspoiled area around the lodge.  We loved seeing bald eagles and hearing the loons call over the lake.  We loved everything about our trip and plan to visit again.

Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge Nearby restaurants: Nearby attractions: Let’s see how people review this hotel Seaplane ride in was special, you see how remote this place is.The staff are relaxed and professional, they adapt activities to abilities/wants/needs. Our tent with en suite big,warm sumptuous! The place is Magical with killer views everywhere! The bar and deck are the best we have seen amongst our travels with attentiveness of delivery first class service and variety of drinks! The activities range is brilliant, we stayed a week and tried everything barr fishing as it’s not our bag. Lots of staff here have their dogs so it does feel like a home from home. The remoteness is real we heli hiked to a summit and you can see the vast views mountains and river with the lodge and nothing else !! Horses are well looked after and riding the river bed is cool. Canyoning was a blast and at the end of each activity luxury awaits, food here is like eating at a mitchellin star restaurant we are taking recipes home! Spa and hot tubs are brilliant, along with private dining options too. These guys have it right for a delux remote break with luxury and quality thrown in. We could stay a year! - 517annmariea Our wedding day and our stay at the lodge was the most memorable time of our lives.   We made terrific friendships, enjoyed marvellous hospitality and left forever changed by our experience. If you visit Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, remember to remind yourself how lucky you are every moment of your stay; it won't be until after you leave that you realise how truly special a stay at the lodge is. - samanthamR5715UN Words are no substitute for the experience. We are here for a Thursday to Thursday stay, and it’s only Saturday. There is nothing that we have experienced so far that has fallen short of our elevated expectations. From the wilderness outside our tent “door”, to the food at the Cookhouse, to the friendliness and expertise of the staff, to the leadership of Sarah, the GM - this is a place that provides indescribable enjoyment whether you are sitting on your deck watching the tide and the light change, or on a boat looking for bears, whales, porpoises, sea lions and otters (all of which we saw on yesterday’s 4 hour ride from the lodge to the Pacific Ocean via Tofino), or any of the wide range of activities that are offered. Thank goodness we have a lot of days left for things to do, sights to see, people to meet. This is truly a “bucket list” vacation. Thank you Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge. We will miss you when we leave and so grateful for the time we had with you. - B4229CGjohnj Hotel Info * 1 Clayoquot, British Columbia V0R 2Z0 Canada 5. Free Spirit Spheres Nearby restaurants: * Tidal Taco Shack * Sandbar Cafe * The Bean Counter Cafe Nearby attractions: * Salish Sea Market * Spider Lake Provincial Park * Lighthouse Country Regional Trail Let’s see how people review this hotel What an amazing place! My friend and I spent two nights in the Melody sphere and loved every moment. The space is so well constructed and thought out, and Tom was very thorough about explaining how the sphere works. The welcome basket was amazing! Bathroom facilities are more than ample, and the peaceful lakeside setting idyllic. Just an amazing place - stay if you can!  - hbinnz Staying 2 nights at Luna was one of a kind experience. The sphere was well designed and high quality like a custom build yacht (bench seat, ceiling beams, sink cover etc... ). It was also very roomy and comfortable so we listened music and dance. Dedicated 3 pieces bath room was only 1 min away from the sphere. Walking with a flash light ( provided, but I brought my own ) to the bath house in middle of the night was also fun experience. We brought many items (hair dryer, paper towels, cooler box, usb plug etc. ) but didn't need the most of them since they are provided. It might be a good idea to bring a lint roller for quick cleaning. Tom and Rosie, thank you for your warm hospitality and great creation. - setonana How special! The spheres are a unique vacation experience, set on a lovely piece of property, hanging in a private space surrounded by trees and built with ingenuity and expert craftsmanship. They are very clean and very comfortable. You have to see them to believe them. Rosey and Tom were wonderful hosts and most definitely added to the memorable time we spent there. Thank you! - Wander547449 Hotel Info * 420 Horne Lake Rd, Qualicum Beach, British Columbia V9K 1Z7 Canada 6. Saintlo Ottawa Jail Hostel Nearby restaurants: * La Bottega Nicastro * BeaverTails * 1 Elgin Nearby attractions: * Rideau Centre * Ottawa Art Gallery * The Highlander Pub Let’s see how people review this hotel A great historical place to spend a night or a few. Thank you staff for a room/cell upgrade. We had celebrated my boyfriend's bday there this time and it was definitely a memorable one  :) Clean, affordable and definitely interesting place that makes you want to come back and learn more about it - beyondsalsa Staying overnight in a jail cell was such a unique experience. We stayed in a cell with bunk beds and it was surprisingly spacious for two people. The location is centrally located close to Byward Market, Parliament, and the shopping mall. The hostel also offers historical tours of the jail (join a walking haunted tour company if you'd like to learn about the ghost stories). Definitely would recommend staying here for the experience. Parking is an additional $12 cost. The hostel will be closed from November 1 to December 31 due to COVID. - CarloFrancoCANADA My friend and I stayed two nights. The bunks in the cell we’re comfortable and clean, and had an outlet! The staff have been so welcoming, and the tour was really cool.

The rooms all have their own special touch, there's the fun of eating in the dining car, and a converted lounge, as well as a coffee shop, souvenir store, and bar at the station,  and an outdoor play area for young children. It was fun to explore and relax at. The town doesn't have a whole lot for a young family, but situated alongside the hotel is the TransCanada trail which makes for peaceful exploration  of the area. - 532christab Great meal with our family!   The meal was prepared and served by a local family!   Chef was excellent and service outstanding!   Unique dining experience and we would definitely consider staying at the inn! - 358SusanM My husband and I stayed in car number5  on Sept 29. It was spot My husband and I stayed in caboose number 5 on September 29 the. Our room was perfect and decorated with period items but had all modern conveniences. The washroom was spotless and had wonderful thick towels. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed eating our snacks in the cupola.

Canada's Rotating House - Around the Sea Nearby restaurants: * The Ship's Company Pub & Galley * Blue Mussel Cafe * Prince Edward Island Preserve Company Nearby attractions: * Cavendish Cliffs * Gardens of Hope * North Rustico Beach Let’s see how people review this hotel We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Steve's Rotating House. It is as cool as it sounds. Offering multiple views of the countryside/ocean during our stay was really fun. But the fact that this unique place spins is only one reason we loved it: our suite was so well thought-out, decorated, clean and beautiful. And the location is amazing, so close to the beach and great restaurants (a short, scenic walk). Steve has really thought of everything and is a charming, helpful host. We particularly appreciated the time he spend explaining some of the inner-workings of this engineering marvel. Highly recommended! - Extraordinary466230 Steve is an amazing host with an amazing property. The space was perfect and had everything we needed. The views were never boring and simply spectacular. About an 8 minute walk to the beach and or local harbor. We would highly recommend staying here if ever on the island. Perfectly located on the north shore with tons of places near by to explore and eat at. - pauloaL693TP We booked out all four condos of the rotating house for a bachelorette party. Steve was super responsive and beyond helpful. The condos, apart from being beautiful, were nice and clean. Beds were comfortable and everyone slept great. The view and location were cherry on top.

Yes very pricey but so is airfare to Europe stay in Canada and enjoy this beautiful creation and community sustaining enterprise. Loved it❤️ - joanne777 My husband and I stayed at Fogo Island Inn for 3 nights in early August.   We've traveled widely but this was one of the most special travel experiences we've had.   The Inn has a breathtaking location,  the views from our room were spectacular and the food (3 meals/day plus a wake-up basket of fresh scones and coffee) was delicious (the best cod we've ever had).  We did some beautiful hikes--and there was more to do than we had time for in our 3-4 days.  One of the unique features of our stay was the afternoon we spent with a community host, who shared so much about the culture, history and traditions of Fogo Island.  The staff and the people we met on Fogo were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. - 815nancyv Hotel Info * view website * 1 (709) 703-8614 * 210 Main Road, Joe Batt's Arm, Newfoundland and Labrador A0G 2X0 Canada 10. Soule Creek Lodge Nearby restaurants: * Port Renfrew Pub * Coastal Kitchen * Tomi's Home Cookin Nearby attractions: * Botanical Beach Provincial Park * Sombrio Beach * Juan de Fuca Marine Trail Let’s see how people review this hotel My family of three really enjoyed our time at Soule Creek Lodge. We did not experience any of the problems in previous reviews. Two staff members were present during our time and they went out of their way to care for us. The cabin was very clean, the bed and futon were very comfortable, the seating was plenty for four. There was a kettle, microwave, mini fridge, and keurig on site. (Keurig pods were caffeinated, I brought my own decaf and subbed it out.)  There were several reviews that mentioned problems with the water, so we brought extra bottles, but bottles were provided and the tap water tasted just fine! The chef made delicious breakfast baskets every morning: breakfast sandwiches, oranges, bananas, milk, oj, and rice crispy treats on the day we were traveling. He also spent several hours resolving a blown fuse that was my fault even though it wasn’t really his job. Marianne was the kindest, most helpful person making sure we had everything we needed. One of us was ill, so we did a lot of takeout from the pub, so she got us a much larger trash can to make it easier for us to keep the place clean. The most important thing were the views-just stunning. A really beautiful spot to recuperate and to explore! (Just don’t be a goof and dry your laundry by hanging it on the balcony like I did. My husband had to go foraging to recover a shirt that blew over! Lol!) - 300SarahG Stayed 3 nights in Pandora yurt - LOVED every minute of it, from pouring rain on roof to wild windstorm, to basking in sunshine taking in gorgeous view of coastal mountains and harbour. Probably the best part was Claude's generous hospitality. His hot breakfasts were five-star and his appreciation for the pristine nature + west coast lifestyle is legit. We've visited Pt Renfrew often for the raw beaches and hiking trails, but never had a more enjoyable outdoor experience than our visit at Soule Creek Lodge. - eatssleepsruns We slept in a YURT! On top of a mountain! With the ocean below us! Sunset amazing Starry Night wonderful Very Covid safe nice friendly staff. This isn’t a fancy resort this is wilderness with a amazingly comfortable  bed! Did I mention we slept in a YURT?

The beds were super comfortable and lots of restaurants nearby. Only thing missing in the room is a fridge but overall was comfortable for a short stay in Toronto. The staff/service is wonderful! - rachelsE1271CM This is a recently renovated hotel near Liberty Village they have done a lot to make the hotel feel both modern and old at the same time.  The elevator is worth a visit and ride.  The staff seem to know a lot about the history of the building.  Worth a stay. - O3037BYdavidg Was on a fairly tight budget and had to think long and hard about booking a room here, as "budget" this property is not.  SO glad I stayed, however! The Gladstone, being Toronto's oldest continually occupied hotel ,was a lovely fusion of historic charm and sleek, modern decor.  At one time the rooms were individually decorated (and most guidebooks still rave about it) but this has changed so the rooms are all fairly uniform as far as furnishings.   The hotel is still a haven for art lovers, however, and has various works by local artists displayed in both the public spaces as well as the rooms.  The staff at the hotel are wonderful -- friendly and accommodating.   The small bistro offers creative menu options, and a plethora of bars and restaurants are in easy walking distance.   Great hotel, great location, great people, what else could you need?  Do yourself a favor and check this gem out!   It's not often you find a property so lovingly restored,  and a staff so dedicated to seeing their guests satisfied! Quick tips that I'm too wordy to fit in actual tip section:  Hotel has the original and amazing bird cage elevator.  This must be operated by staff, and those gracious folks are always prompt and cheerful to get you to your floor.  However, you may wish to book a room on the second floor and just walk up.   Historic hotel often means smaller rooms as in the day, a bedroom was a room that fit a bed and that was about it.  The studio rooms are charming, with plenty of storage  but folks who like a lot of space may want to think about upgrading their room category.  (I stayed in a studio, and thought it was perfectly fine, however.)  Each floor has a different public area .  Library and comfy chairs on 4th floor, pool table on 3rd floor, and cozy chairs and tables on second floor that's perfect for those needing some space to work.  Lastly, although I indicated "family" it was just my college age daughter and I.  I don't believe the property has any double bedded rooms.  This hotel is very much more for adults than kids! - susanmS2512PO Hotel Info * 1214 Queen St W, Toronto, Ontario M6J 1J6 Canada

Highly recommend a visit to this unique historical hotel with renovated rooms - paulcB6604SH My octogenarian mother’s long-held dream was to travel on the Rocky Mountaineer and visit old friends out west. I encouraged her to seize the day and planned a luxurious getaway for us both. We rented a Mercedes SUV from Calgary and set off for the beautiful Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel for a few nights, before boarding our train. We generally never splurge on valet service, but the kid-glove treatment from the folks at the front came in very handy. A flight delay almost made us miss our dinner reservations at the lovely Swiss Waldhaus Restaurant, behind the hotel. They instantaneously parked the car, brought in our luggage and popped my disabled mom and me into a golf card to get us there comfortably and expeditiously. They even had a shuttle bus waiting, just as we were ready to leave. I kid you not, it was ‘Radar’ like service (for all you M*A*S*H fans)! After our meal we checked in and were put into a ‘wheelchair accessible’ room outside of the main building. Despite my disappointment at being ‘off campus’ as it were, I tried to keep an open mind. Sadly, the room was underwhelming at the eye-watering rates necessary during high season at this landmark institution. Don’t get me wrong, the view was great, but the room satisfactory at best. The main issue though was the magical mystery tour to get there. Technically it was scalable with loads of time and perhaps an electric wheelchair or savvy/youthful aid, but I’d advise this extended wing be a better bastion for those quite able, fit and wanting a good amount of privacy. By morning, we realized the gauntlet was too much to manage for every meal, as well as getting repeated access to hotel facilities and grabbing our vehicle. After a bit of discussion at the front desk about capacity issues, etc. manager, Emma (extraordinaire) stepped in. This is when you find out what Fairmont service is truly all about! We were elevated to an incredibly large and beautiful room that also had a jaw-dropping view. We were compensated generously for the inconvenience and all staff took great pains in making the rest of our visit absolutely flawless. Sure, it would have been great to avoid any hiccups, but they made it right and then some, immediately. I’m sure it took a bit of juggling, but when things go wrong, you really find out what a stellar brand is truly made of. Of course, the facilities themselves are like something out of a fairy tale. This grand dame is definitely an experience that must be added to any bucket list worth dreaming about. The amazing views, grounds, restaurants, spas, pools, bar, golf course, common areas, etc., etc. should not be missed. The nearby village is its own little idyll too. The rest of our stay was nothing less than perfect (and trust me, Mom’s not an easy lady to please)! I applaud the FBSH for their amazing responsiveness and for making lemons into the sweetest lemonade ever. It must be difficult to manage a hotel that size, whilst keeping everyone happy at peak season, but they accomplished that and much more. Air Canada can take a few tips from these professionals. To that end, Fairmont has always been a favourite brand of ours and continues to be. They are a luxury brand and thus a bit pricier than some options, but worth every penny. Thanks to all the staff that went the extra mile and made sure this special trip memorable for my mother and I, for all the right reasons. Kudos to you all and keep up the fabulous work – my husband and I will be back to this and other Fairmont properties, as soon as we possibly can! - CKimoff First time in Banff and at the Fairmont and it was a trip I won’t soon forget. Truly amazing experience all the way around and the hotel was simply magical. The hotel offers everything you need yet it is a short and beautiful walk in to town for a change of pace.  - coreyl473 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (833) 697-1106 * 405 Spray Avenue, Banff, Banff National Park, Alberta T1L 1J4 Canada 2.

Our room overlooked the Main Street and had a small balcony that was great for morning coffee.  Hotel staff is friendly, helpful and very professional.  We enjoyed our weekend and look forward to coming back. - karengZ5589EL Modern beautiful hotel.  The suites and kitchenettes were super great when travelling with kids.   They have below ground parking at an added cost of $19/day.  They are a great location, just one street back from the main Banff strip.  Would stay here again. - Chantale80 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (855) 952-3691 * 218 Lynx Street, Banff, Banff National Park, Alberta T1L 1K5 Canada 3.

The 5 stars hotel costs us arms and legs and I don't think it's worth it.  - OnAir280365 We stayed here as a family, we were lucky that we were upgraded to a 2 bedroom condo, which was amazing.  It was just a shame we were only staying one night  as we were  not able to make the most of all the facilities.  The evening meal was good,  but the breakfast buffet was out of this world, wow what a selection, everything you could think of to eat for  breakfast - matron68 This was unbelievable.  The sun was shining which definitely made the reflection on the lake look like a picture.

Our room was on the first floor with a little patio of our own to sit and gaze into the sweetest courtyard ever! Looking up at the other suites and their balconies with its little lights, while smelling the clean, fresh, crisp evening air was heavenly! So was the glacial tap water - I wished I had brought a dozen hydro flasks to fill up before I left! After dinner we came  back and sat on the comfy couches in front of the cozy fire in the lobby and relaxed before bed. We didn’t even see the amazing rooftop pool and amenities because we had to leave early the next morning, but I made a note to return here with my husband when we return to visit Banff. Also, the next morning we had the freshest OJ and the tastiest kale, apple, basil smoothie I’ve ever had (and I am connoisseur of green smoothies) at the lovely Italian restaurant inside the hotel. Our whole stay ended with a perfectly punctuated amazing breakfast that sent us off happily on our continued travels, rested, and happily satiated with fresh food and drink! This is a homey but elegant hotel with all the specialties, don’t think twice, just book it!  - 230lianneh This hotel is ideally located for a great vacation.  It is right in the middle of Banff close to everything you would want to walk to including trails, grocery store, restaurants, bars, train station, liquor store and even the visitors center.  The facilities are first rate including the spa, pool and hot tubs but the real asset of this hotel is the enthusiastic people who work there and run the front desk.  There isn't anything they won't do to make your stay special and memorable for you.  Give it a try and you will be impressed. - craigg200 I love this place, the room was fantastic with plenty of space and all of the hotel. Staff were an absolute delight to deal with. The guys from the bar were so helpful. What a great start to our adventure in Banff.

Canalta Lodge Nearby restaurants: * Chili's Grill and Bar * The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Banff Caribou * The Evergreen Restaurant and Lounge Nearby attractions: * Banff Legacy Trail * C Level Cirque Trail * Spray River Trail Loop Let’s see how people review this hotel We stayed at the Canalta for four nights during our honeymoon whilst we explored Banff. The Canalta is an absolutely gorgeous hotel, and great amenities for guests. We were slightly early when it came to check in, but we were met by the concierge who asked about our trip and gave us recommendations, not only for Banff, but for the rest of our trip too. The hotel has hot tubs, a cold-plunge pool, s’mores station, guest laundry and gym - breakfast was included in our rate and it was great with lots of options. As we were on honeymoon, we had a bottle of fizz in our room on arrival which was a lovely touch. We had a balcony which looked out onto the mountains, which was really nice to wake up to. The only thing I’d comment on which was slightly negative was that there wasn’t anywhere in the room to hang any clothes; no wardrobe or hooks / hangers, so everything had to sit in our case. But, we requested an iron / board so no big deal. Walk was about 20 minutes into Banff, just something to bare in mind - but no problem for us! All the staff were brilliant, too! - NicWetherell It was our first time at Banff and it did not disappoint. Our room had a nice balcony view of a mountain where we had a morning coffee, the lodge was kind enough to gift us a bottle of bubbly, and although we didn't take advantage of the hot tubs, it seemed very inviting and they also had a s'more station for the fire pits. The hot breakfast was solid and the lodge itself was a 15 minute walk from downtown. There was plenty of free parking during the week at a nearby playground. The lodge was quiet at night and we got pretty good sleep compared to other hotels we've stayed at. The staff was kind and accommodating, it was a great stay. - RyanK3473 Friendly and accommodating.  The staff and property is amazing and as a solo female traveler I felt safe. The property is cozy and perfect for that mountain getaway.  Complimentary breakfast and nightly s'mores along with 2 outdoor hot tubs - lisanH1298NQ Hotel Info * 545 Banff Ave #1B5, Banff, Banff National Park, Alberta T1L 1B5 Canada 6.

We were even reminded that we stayed at the hotel exactly 7 years ago the exact same time! We had 2 breakfasts booked and 1 night dinner reservation for the last night of our stay and the food and service was outstanding.   We had a lovely room at the front of the hotel overlooking the main road but with such comfortable beds, we had the best 2 nights sleep! We were so happy to come back and stay at this lovely hotel and would always recommend to anybody wanting a stay in Vancouver. - L5495FZamandal This hotel was mostly excellent. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. The location is great, and surprisingly quiet. The staff were extremely helpful and patient with special requests. There were some issues that the hotel could easily remedy. Guests access their floor by inserting a keycard in a slot on the elevator. A sign recommends removing the card “slowly.” It took us several days to realize that this was incorrect. I talked with other guests who also were having trouble operating the elevator. If you remove the card quickly, you improve your chances for success — in which case, a light flashes green. If you fail, the same light flashes red. This indicator is worthless for a guest like my dad, who can’t distinguish between red and green — the most common form of colour blindness. Another concern for older or disabled guests: there is no grab bar in the shower. - GiantPurpleOwl Hotel Info * view website * 1 (778) 601-3920 * 788 Richards Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6B 0C7 Canada 2. Rosewood Hotel Georgia Nearby restaurants: * Black + Blue * Hydra Estiatorio Mediterranean * Glowbal Nearby attractions: * Bill Reid Gallery * Orpheum Theatre * Vancouver Downtown Let’s see how people review this hotel This is definitely on the Top Five list of places we've stayed. The hotel is 1920s vintage, with a stunningly restored lobby and lounge. The details are beautiful, and the elegance of the place is warm - not intimidating. The rooms are completely modern with excellent beds, sparkling facilities. Even with all that, it's the staff that really shines here: from the front desk, to the cleaning team, and the concierge. Gerard at the concierge desk was astoundingly helpful and knowledgeable, just a great person. Yes, the Rosewood is not an inexpensive place, but if you're up for a splurge (we were celebrating our anniversary), it is really well worth it. - B5392VAjosephf What a wonderful experience we had staying 2 nights at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia for our anniversary. Hotel was beautifully decorated for the holiday season. Check-in was a breeze and they acknowledged our special occasion with an upgrade from our Premier Executive Room to a Junior Suite - Quite significant as it was double the price. The manager also had a complimentary dessert and welcome card waiting for us. Very nice touch. The room was awesome. Separate bedroom with small living room area/powder room. Master Bathroom was massive - awesome shower head. All of the staff were so polite and helpful during our stay, they really go the extra mile with service at the Rosewood - so friendly and hospitable. Valet guys especially were great! Room service breakfast was delivered hot and tasty. Checked out Reflections for a pre-dinner drink. Specialty cocktails were pricey but delicious. Looking forward to our next stay - hopefully for longer next time :) Book this hotel with confidence, you won't be disappointed! - Philsfan20 We stayed here for the beginning of our honeymoon and we were blown away by the hotel and staff. We arrived late after a long journey and we were delighted to find chocolate strawberries and champagne in our room on arrival. We ordered room service which was the best we have ever had. We had a premier executive room and WOW, it was the most beautiful room we have ever stayed in. It was spotlessly clean, had lots of storage space, had very comfortable bedding, with lots of nice touches throughout the room and bathroom.  The bath and shower were perfect, as were the double sinks. The Wi-Fi was fantastic and we appreciated the number of plug sockets around the room (as sometimes an issue in other hotels). The food on offer was amazing throughout. We had breakfast at 1927 and dinner at the Reflections terrace. Both were absolutely delicious and immaculately presented. The staff and service were far beyond expectations and were exceptional. The pool is relaxing and tranquil. Despite the hotel being fairly large, we always managed to have the pool to ourselves. The spa was fantastic and the staff - both the receptionists and the beauty therapist - were all so friendly and accommodating. As first time visitors to Vancouver having a short stay, we were keen to fit in as many activities as possible. To that end, Gerardo the concierge was an invaluable aid to guiding us around the city and recommending places to visit and top tips to getting around the city. He was always friendly and professional, and we are so grateful for his expertise.

Room was quiet at night with minimal outside noise and no noisy AC unit. Overall extremely happy with the hotel and the staff. I'll look t stay here again next time I'm up here. - gregmO755VX I stayed in a king suite that was spacious, quiet and well laid-out.  Some hotel rooms that are larger look like they just are larger spaces that make no sense; this one is functional and well laid out. The King bed was the most comfortable I've slept on for some time. Nice little complementary basket of snackies to nibble on. The hotel's breakfast area is kind of weirdly laid out, one long table right by the food, so I opted for a small table in the lobby.  No big deal though. Lots of food choices there, enough to get you going ans then some. - FS593 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (855) 618-4702 * 9519 111th Street, Fort St. John, British Columbia V1J 0N1 Canada 4.

Absolutely faultless! All the staff are so professional, helpful and friendly. We were made to feel welcome from the first moment. Our room, overlooking Robson Square was tastefully furnished, immaculate with high quality bedlinens and we loved the feature of the corner bath in the bedroom. During our stay we had a minor problem in our bathroom with a leak from the room above. This was promply repaired whilst we had breakfast and as a courtesy we were given a beautiful bottle of wine. Breakfast choices were well. presented, extremely tasty and very generous portions. Great care and attention has been given to the decoration of the hotel making it feel luxurious but comfortable at the same time. Particularly loved the fireplace in the lobby and breakfast room. The hotel is centrally located in downtown Vancouver making it within easy walking distance of most places. This is certainly a hotel to return to! - gilliansF4287WR Perfectly located right in the heart of the city, the Wedgewood is the very best for those who wish to enjoy Vancouver's shopping, dining and sightseeing. The facility meets or exceeds the highest standards and is operated by a friendly and attentive staff. Classy elegance mixed with homey comfort. Spotless, well appointed rooms make each stay an absolutely enjoyable experience. - peterbX3105NI From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the staff at Wedgewood Hotel & Spa took fabulous care of us.

The food in both The Snug pub and the Dining Room is outstanding. The rooms are well appointed and gloriously comfortable beds. We spent almost two full hours in the mineral pools which was a treat after a crisp morning waterfront run. Highly recommend staying here! - reindun We had high expectations but WOW!

The amenities were excellent and I was treated extremely well. Waking up at the airport eliminates a massive amount of stress compared with staying downtown and having to wake up extra early to catch a flight. - jaredmH4911OM I was travelling with my two young kids. No husband in tow and it was a very challenging experience for me. I missed my connecting flight due to my first flight being delayed. Coming home from holidays my kids were over tired & missed their dad. Long story short. I needed a place to stay, I ended up at the elevator of the fairmont yvr  with my screaming two year old & around the corner comes Naryan. Hero #1. Instantly offers me a water and assists me onto the elevator while my son is still screaming. He didn’t even ask if I was staying at the fairmont. He didn’t think twice about helping me. Amazing human being. Once he assisted me to the front desk the tears started rolling down my face as I told him I didn’t have a room and was hoping they could accommodate. Which is when the lovely Jenny stepped in. Hero #2. So calm, so supportive. Another amazing human being. Grabbed me tissues. She Took control of the situation & I appreciated it so much. While I was speaking with Jenny, Naryan quickly grabbed a box full of stuffed toys behind the counter and offered them to my kids. At that time, my son had finally calmed down thanks to Naryan. My Long story short… isn’t so short anymore! I realize the importance of explaining my situation to really emphasize the appreciation I had and have for Jenny & Naryan. The second my kids entered the room it felt like a huge weight off my shoulders. Their joy to see the runway and planes was incredible and quickly changed everyone’s moods. Mine especially. And that was all thanks to Jenny. I worked at the fairmont waterfront from 2013-2018 and now live in beautiful Smithers, BC. But it reminded me why I loved working at the Fairmont. The people you work with was always the reason to stay. Oh & The BATHTUB was hero #3. There is No one Better then the Fairmont. End of Story! - HenrySmithers A fine resort hotel in a busy airport.  Breakfast in the dining room was an excellent way to start the day with a beautiful view of the sunrise and runways with the downtown Vancouver skyline in the distance.  Hotel had in September 2022 an in-house Covid-testing clinic.  Only complaint is with the signage to the hotel from the international baggage-claim area - virtually non-existent which led to a more than half-an-hour hunt for the hotel in a deserted airport at 11:00 pm.  HINT: Hotel is located at the far end of the United Airlines check-in counter for international flights to the US just as you enter the airport by car.  SkyTrain station is just across the car-access road entrance to airport and hotel. - ciscokid23 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (844) 934-1781 * 3111 Grant McConachie Way, Richmond, British Columbia V7B 0A6 Canada

We have been going since 1982 and will continue to stay at Pacific Sands - V4211FBpaulad We had a great experience at Pacific Sands. We stayed in a very nice and clean 1-bedroom suite. The kitchen was well equipped, so we were able to enjoy full  meals everyday, as opposed to only heating up frozen pizza. The staff was super friendly and ready to help whenever we needed anything. The best part of it all though was certainly the fact that we were right in front of the beach; the possibility to jump in and out as we pleased, the sound of the waves, the sunset, sitting by the fire pits or in the hammocks and look at all the surfers do their thing… it was priceless :) - Cruiser447359 Hotel Info * 1421 Pacific Rim Hwy., Tofino, British Columbia V0R 2Z0 Canada 2.

Upon arrival the staff were so friendly and welcoming in fact throughout our whole stay all staff we encountered couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. The restaurant was due to close shortly after we checked in so while my partner checked us in we were advised to go and order our food so we didn’t miss out. We both had the burgers which were incredible! The portion sizes were also huge. We finished our food and went to our room which was fantastic. The room was a really good size and we loved the shower as it was powerful and huge. Little touches in the room like the fresh coffee press really made our stay. It’s a good location and the beach is only a few minutes away. There is a free bus into Torfino but this finished quite early. We decided to walk back one evening, it took about 40 mins but was an easy, clear path to follow even in the dark. The hotel is new which was really nice to expreciance, loved the vibe of the hotel and the hot tub is a must to visit! I would recommend this place and stay again. - shannonbazil After a mixup with an AirBnB reservation, Hotel Zed staff welcomed us with open arms at 7pm on a Friday night. What a huge relief. Customer service was amazing and the room and hotel were fabulous for two seniors. So many good memories of the 70’s were relived. Dinner at Roar was delicious.

Great amenities!They took care of my needs and special consideration which I loved the most. Service is superb as they kept in touch via text messages which made me felt that I was well looked after. excellent location! Being a solo traveller without a car it was easy to get Tofino bus to get around the city and completed all the trails . Airport shuttle service drop and pickup from hotel made it super convenient. What a great first ever solo trip! - 660swatib We had the best stay at Duffin Cove. The location is in a more secluded area. The staff were very friendly and professional. We stayed in one of the cabins and absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend this beautiful hotel. We will be back again.  - breraemw This hotel has the best view in Tofino, honestly speechless.

Middle Beach Lodge Nearby restaurants: * Chocolate Tofino * Shelter Restaurant * Shed Nearby attractions: * Cox Bay Beach * Chesterman Beach * Rainforest Trail Let’s see how people review this hotel Middle beach lodge blew us away! We stayed for 4 nights in July with my parents and loved it so much that we have just booked a 10 night stay next year as a couple ( we have never returned anywhere before). We loved its relaxed feel, natural beauty and how it felt really secluded as it’s down the dirt track, yet it is in such a good location for walking or cycling into Tofino. The breakfasts were incredible, great cocktails and lovely dinners. It was the perfect location for our visit to Vancouver island- what an incredible island it is! We highly recommended the new cycle trail and our whale watching trips. The brewery and bars being so close by was an added bonus. We can’t wait to return from England next year! - loveshotsunnydays We found this beautiful spot through Booking .com and what a find it turned out to be. The location between the 2 beaches gives some choice for your morning or evening walk. The view from our balcony was spectacular and we could leave the window open all night and hear the surf on the sand. The staff were fun and helpful for the most part. Most of them are young, on the island for a while and very casual and outgoing. Only one CS person was particularly unhelpful. The room was small (180 sq. ft.) but we new this in advance. The amenities were basic but the bathroom was clean and there was hot water and wifi. I hate recommending places I like because I'm afraid I may not be able to get a reservation if I ever go back. I guess I'm taking my chances. The breakfast was fantastic and it offered a chance to speak with other gusts from other parts of the world. - italianwannabe2005 We spent three nights with the family in a beach house. The view and the location are wonderful. We enjoyed the breakfast on the patio of the main lodge and some drinks at night and sitting in the chairs on our front porch with the magnificent ocean in front of us. The rooms were clean and with enough space for the 4 of us. Kitchen was well equipped. The beach is very close and beautiful, especially during low tide you can explore the mussel beds and see hermit crabs. Close enough to Tofino but much quieter which we really enjoyed. The partially unpaved road is ok if you are in a car, I would not want to walk or ride my bike there during summer. - VogtR Hotel Info * 400 MacKenzie Beach Road PO Box 100, Tofino, British Columbia V0R 2Z0 Canada 7.

My group booked place for us and told us it was a beach front Best Western. We travelled with a puppy and were not looking for anywhere fancy just decent price and pet friendly. When I tell you I was breathe taken when I saw our view..... The view/ beach was pristine. The room was perfect for a group of 4 and puppy crate. - KritSmitty You can’t beat the beach location. On very well kept grounds and all units facing the ocean the BW Plus Tofino is a great option. Standard  double Queen rooms are functional well equipped. With the tiny bathroom , I wouldn’t recommend to use the room with 4 . Microwave, Keurig and fridge working well in conjunction with the take away breakfast, which due to Covid is still the limited service. Exceptionally friendly cheerful and efficient service , housekeeping wonderful staff added to making our 5 night stay very enjoyable  - Hongkon Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent and varied breakfast, well organized. Spacious, bright rooms with a nice bathroom, a view on the beach to die for. Beds were very comfortable, ample cushions of various firmness provided, including a body pillow. Bath and room were spotless when we entered. Included amenities are amazing, real >high< speed Internet, Telus TV, good Wifi including 5Ghz (never had it drop). Keurig, toaster, hot water kettle provided, spacious mini fridge, whiskey glasses, Rowenta Iron, ironing board, Vileada broom and shovel, ample coat hangers and more. Best of all, they have two EV chargers on each end of the parking lot. The beach ... well, you got to experience it to believe how beautiful it is. The blinds black out the room completely, not a photon gets in, very nice. Balconies with comfy chairs, looking directly at the beach. And many more amazing things. We were -again- blown away.

Crystal Cove Beach Resort Nearby restaurants: * Chocolate Tofino * wildside grill * Tacofino Cantina Nearby attractions: * Tofino Botanical Gardens * Henry's Carving Shed * Maquinna Provincial Marine Park Let’s see how people review this hotel Crystal Cove remains our go-to place for rest and relaxation. The resort is extremely well maintained and serviced.  Fabulous beach walks are just steps from the resort.  Highly recommend this West Coast getaway. - Lots2seeABC Our family had an amazing trip to Tofino and we stayed at Crystal Cove right on the beach, amazing cabins for families with all amenities, and very comfortable.  Close to all beaches, bike paths, and local grocery and eateries.  5 min walk to the famous Tacofino, and Wildside Grill.  - ohcanada888 We rented 3 cabins this year for our 12 family members.  This resort is outstanding.  The cabins are clean, have ample dishes in the kitchen, are cozy, include a wood burning fireplace, a barbecue and ours had a hot tub on the deck.  There are lots of amenities such as free firewood, daily towel and trash service.  The site is nicely appointed and well maintained and includes a great playground for the children and easy beach access.  I also appreciated the coffee bar in the main building for my morning latte.  Also, all staff we encountered were both professional and friendly.   - Dave-Faye Hotel Info * view website * 1 (778) 902-4173 * 1165 Cedarwood Place, Tofino, British Columbia V0R 2Z0 Canada 9. Wickaninnish Inn Nearby restaurants: * Chocolate Tofino * wildside grill * Tacofino Cantina Nearby attractions: * Chesterman Beach * Henry's Carving Shed * Maquinna Provincial Marine Park Let’s see how people review this hotel Amazing location, views, rooms, and amenities. After three nights we were not ready to return home. There is a sense of peace and restfulness at the Wickaninnish Inn that makes a stay here divine. The beds are soft but not too soft. The towels are fluffy. The room is a nice size and complete with large viewing windows to the beach, a cozy fireplace, large soaking tub and private balcony.  - Trek294964 A lovely place to get away to...without sacrificing comfort and interesting dining options.  A stimulating place for beach goers, surfers, plant lovers and hikers.  At the Wickaninnish Inn, you can fall asleep to the sound of ocean surf.  There are no traffic noises.  A peaceful and contemplative location. - PVWestie We have wanted to stay at the Wickaninnish Inn for years since I had read about it. It did not disappoint. Set on the rocky coastline of Victoria Island we felt we were on the edge of the world. We cannot fault this place. The location is outstanding, the staff welcoming and the ambience wonderful. Our room looked out over the ocean, and we watched the waves crashing in while the biggest eagle I have ever seen just glided by. True! Breakfast every morning was a delight. Friendly staff, divine view and effortlessly beautiful but in no way stuffy. You can eat at either The Pointe Restaurant or the bar and both were just fantastic. Really, we just didn't want to leave. - maker91 Hotel Info * 500 Osprey Lane at Chesterman Beach, Tofino, British Columbia V0R 2Z0 Canada 10. Tofino Motel Harborview Ltd. Nearby restaurants: * Shelter Restaurant * Shed * The Schooner Restaurant Nearby attractions: * Roy Henry Vickers Gallery * Clayoquot Sound * Storm The Tofino Surf Shop Let’s see how people review this hotel I wasn't sure I was happy about spending $360 (Canadian) for a motel room, but I chalked it up to high season (July), and Tofino's general reputation for being expensive. When I pulled up, indeed this place was a motel, and I prepared myself to be disappointed. However, when I walked in, I was quite happy with what I found! I booked the "Harbor View Kitchenette Suite".  It was surprisingly nice.  There was a separate bedroom (with a door that closes) with two twin beds, plus a king bed in the main room.  As the name stated, it also had a kitchen area with a stove and microwave. The unit also had its own balcony, with a beautiful view of the harbor! Overall, the place was quite large, and I really liked it.  It really had a high end feel to it.  I forgot I was even in a "motel" until I walked out the door. It's also located right in the heart of Tofino, so you can walk to a lot of shops and restaurants, many of which are open until 10-11pm. The only thing I disliked?  There's an obnoxious 10am checkout time.  Way too early.  Checkout should never be before 11.  I did get them to make an exception and let us check out later, however. If I ever go to Tofino again (it's a bit off the beaten path), I will definitely book that same suite at the Tofino Motel Harborview! - pokerpro05 Easy to find, almost at the start of the town when you come in. I love the balcony on second floor, great view of harbour and flowers. The room is very clean and modern. Comfy bed. The little details matter, like real cream for your coffee in the fridge and pump hand soap that smells like lavender. Staff and check-in were great. - lisep2018 My wife and I spent a week in Tofino and stayed here on the second floor in the kitchenette suite. The room was clean and comfortable, the kitchenette had everything we needed and the view is amazing to sit and have lunch from. It’s located literally seconds from town and also only a short drive to the local beaches. We were able to walk into town everyday enjoy all the local shops, tours and Tofino life. I would stay here again every time! - MitchstG Hotel Info * 542 Campbell Street, Tofino, British Columbia V0R 2Z0 Canada 11. Ocean Village Beach Resort Nearby restaurants: * Chocolate Tofino * wildside grill * Tacofino Cantina Nearby attractions: * Tofino Botanical Gardens * Henry's Carving Shed * Maquinna Provincial Marine Park Let’s see how people review this hotel My husband and I stayed at OV for 2 nights, July 2022. The cabin was wonderful. meticulously clean with  modern finishings. The bed was comfortable and quiet to sleep. There is no AC or TV in the cabin. The Wi-Fi was strong and we were able to watch Netflix easily on our devices. We had unit 45 which is direct oceanfront. It was a great view and honestly with the ocean out in front of you, who needs TV! We walked the beach, watched all the families (and dogs/pet friendly) play in the water. Tofino gets quite cool after sunset so we had no trouble sleeping without AC.  Tofino is a cool little beach town with some great restaurants, hikes, water activities. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at OV and Tofino! - Canadianmom218 We had a great time here. The staff were super nice and the cabins were super cozy. It's right on the beach too, and super close to the town. Definitely worth staying here! Between being closer to the beach and the town it is a great spot to stay at! There is also a pool and hot tub which is great. We will be back again. - WilsonLin We have been coming here for decades. There is nowhere better to stay in Tofino. Very relaxed atmosphere and beautiful in rain or shine. There is a nearby expensive grocery if you forgot anything but mostly staying in the cabins playing games and reading is the mellow approach. There were some brave souls swimming and surfing but we were content with leisurely walks and family time - AHB007 Hotel Info * 555 Hellesen Drive, Tofino, British Columbia V0R 2Z0 Canada 12. The Shoreline Tofino Nearby restaurants: * Shelter Restaurant * Shed * RedCan Gourmet Nearby attractions: * Roy Henry Vickers Gallery * Clayoquot Sound * Storm The Tofino Surf Shop Let’s see how people review this hotel The setting for this fantastic lodge was amazing…with beautiful views watching the sea planes take off and land. It’s very well presented and equipped. Extremely clean but homely…. The locally sourced & made touches were greatly appreciated. Communication was prompt and helpful…. Highly recommended.  - katkha Great stay everything was as advertised We were in unit 1 nice cottage close to the hammocks and sauna. It would be nice to have a clearer view of the ocean but it might be an environmental concern to trim the trees . Regardless it was relaxing sitting on the deck with our wine and watching the mist roll in .  - tammyk842 The Shoreline continues to be our go to spot in Tofino for family vacation.  The room variety and amenities make it perfect for a large group.  And the sunsets in the evening from back deck are spectacular.  We’ll be back again next year.  Don’t forget to ask Sean for carb pot and do the fresh crab feast.  Crab Lady is just a short walk away from Shorline. - 448damien Hotel Info * 350 Olsen Road, Tofino, British Columbia V0R 2Z0 Canada

5 Nunavut Hotels With Beautiful Views

1. Frobisher Inn Nearby restaurants: * The Granite Room at the Discovery Lodge Hotel * Yummy Shawarma * Black Heart Cafe Nearby attractions: * Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum * Legislative Assembly of Nunavut * Carvings Nunavut Let’s see how people review this hotel I stayed at the Frobisher Inn on business for 3 days and then 4 days in early October. The rooms were very clean and I had a nice view of the sea and the bay.  The staff at the hotel is fabulous.  I think Anna is always working as she seems to be at the desk regardless of time of day and day of the week.  They were extremely accommodative when I needed to add an extra day and my colleagues had to shift by two days when they missed the connection.  Greatly appreciated and done with a smile despite the hotel being essentially sold out.  Great central location. - MikeHSaanich Loved my stay here and Jen was wonderful.  After some unexpected itinerary changes she did everything she could to make the rest of my stay wonderful.  I will return for sure and highly recommend for others. - MerSchimmel I flew all night from western Canada to Ottawa, caught the 8 AM flight out of Ottawa to Iqaluit and my connecting flight further north was postponed due to fog.  By the time I got things squared away at the airport and arrived at the Frobisher Inn is was at the end of the staff's day.  I was exhausted and Jen at the front desk said that she would find a room, and she did.  It was an amazing room - quiet and comfortable.  I just slept all night.  It was great...

It is as a smaller single story hotel. The room is was fine, clean, and hot water. The bed was very comfortable. The restaurant was very good but expensive. Definitely a fine dining experience in Iqaluit. - jfbeidleman This building is nothing on the outside but offers comfort and amazing meals once you check in.  The best place to stay in Iqaluit with charm and style.  Local game is often on the menu and you can try Artic Char, Caribou or sometimes Muskox.... - 859DebbieH Were put up in this boutique-style hotel when our First Air flight back to Ottawa was cancelled outright. While the room was tiny it had all the amenities required and was very modern in design. Queen-sized bed filled the small sleeping area and bathroom 2 steps up (you're in Iqaluit where no plumbing runs underground). Was quiet and the dinner in the hotel's Granite Room was very nice. If I had no rental car while in Iqaluit on business I would stay here as I can walk to all of downtown and waterside.

The community is pretty much what is expected when traveling in Nunavut. The people are so friendly. But what is different with traveling in Cambridge Bay is the Ublu Inn. The apartment style hotel has all the comfort of back home which is nice after a day out in the cold. All rooms are recently furnished and have two TV's, dining table and Kitchen. The owners are always on site and are very helpful. Thank you for the welcome and above all the comfort that was offered. I will definitely stay again at my next visit. - jenolo The Ublu Inn is more than just a hotel. It felt more like an apartment, with all of the amenities including washer/dryer.  I was able to cook my own meals, chill out in the evenings on the couch The bed is very comfortable. The blackout curtains were great during the 24 hour sun! and Stuart and Amanda are so friendly and accommodating. The cafe is also super. The muskox burger is delicious as is the char chowder. Would definitely go back!! - kikwiki My colleagues and I spent a week with Stuart and Amanda at the Ublu Inn and couldn't have enjoyed the experience more. From personally showing us around town, lending us their ATV, letting us use their office as a business center, arranging to-go meals for us at short notice to answering all our questions with a smile (and much more), they are the definition of hospitality. The rooms fit all of our needs - very spacious, bright and clean - and the Kuugaq Cafe serves the best food in town by far. (The Arctic Char chowder is a must!) We could't be happier with our decision to stay at the Ublu Inn and strongly recommend it to anyone traveling to Cambridge Bay. There is no question it's the best spot in town! - emilyhgordon913 Hotel Info * 16 Koihok Maghagak, Cambridge Bay, Nunavut X0B 0C0 Canada

Definitely would recommend! - charlottewood04 We spent a week here. The apartment was just what we needed. 2 bedrooms and spacious common living space. The hybrid hotel/vacation rental is exactly what the hotel business needs. It is safe to book, check in, and they are there for whatever you need just like a hotel but with the freedom and space of a vacation home with a kitchen and a terrace, yet without the worry of a sketchy Airbnb host or place. The pool and fitness center were such a great bonus. And the front desk people were incredibly friendly and helpful. The app and security codes were so easy and it felt so safe. I think we’ll try to stay at the other Sonder properties when we can. - octoberose It was a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath suite...10th floor view of Montreal with wonderful corner balcony!

Hotel Le Dauphin Montreal Centre-Ville Nearby restaurants: * Bivouac * Kyo Bar Japonais * Il Focolaio Nearby attractions: * Notre-Dame Basilica * St. Patrick's Basilica * Place d'Armes Let’s see how people review this hotel We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The hotel is well located in relation to many tourist spots as well as the Metro/busses. Our room had a very comfy bed, a nice little couch, chair, desk (w/ iMac!), and small refrigerator. The bathroom was also quite nice. Finally, we enjoyed the variety of breakfast foods available each morning. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat if we return to Montreal! - DaddyinDublin This hotel was everything we expected. The location is next to the Old City, subway around the corner and centrally placed to explore Montreal. The hotel is modern, exceptionally clean with amazing amenities in the rooms. The beds are the best that we have slept on anywhere in the world on our travels. Breakfast is very good and more than adequate to start your day. Our six day stay was perfect from check in to check out. This is the place to stay if you are thinking of visiting Montreal - VancouverWomble Great location. Walking distance to everything shopping restaurants entertainment. We didn’t need transportation from via rail it was maybe a ten minute walk. Furthers place we walked to was old Montreal. Hotel was clean the room was huge. One bed. Requested 2 but I was traveling with my daughter so was told no. My only issue was the view room 210. We where literally starting at a wall with windows. Stayed two nights.  Staff was always smiling and friendly. - PAlley2000 Hotel Info * 1025 de Bleury Street, Montreal, Quebec H2Z 1M7 Canada 9. Hilton Garden Inn Montreal Centre-Ville Nearby restaurants: * Bivouac * Lola Rosa Milton * Anticafe Vieux-Port Nearby attractions: * L'Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal (OSM) * Place des Arts * McGill University Let’s see how people review this hotel We stayed in the Hilton Garden Inn Montreal Centre-Ville to be close to McGill University. The location was within a few blocks and an easy walk to the main campus. Some of the restaurants on the street had closed due to Covid and had not reopened.  There were several noodle shops and a pizza place closer to the university. The hotel restaurant had breakfast service, dinner and bar service but no lunch. There was an area behind the reception desk where you could buy candy, chips and soft drinks. The woman who managed the breakfast service was from Switzerland and was a ray of sunshine in the morning. It was a pleasure to start our day there. The museums and restaurants nearby were downhill which made for a challenging climb back up to the hotel in the evening. The room was a corner room that had a view of the roof top and equipment. The room seemed dark. There was a lamp between the two queen beds, a lamp by the window near a chair, and a tiny lamp on the desk. There was an overhead lamp as you came in the door, but no overhead lights in the rest of the room. It felt like a cave. Room service was by request because of Covid restrictions. - R8929XNpamf Rooms were spacious (double queen). Staff were polite and courteous. Great central location. We walked to McGill U (5 minutes), Old Montreal (20 minutes), and Schwartz deli was only 15 minute walk away. Secure access to elevators and hotel via room card. Relatively safe neighborhood. Swimming pool and jacuzzi open! - yorkie1552 Situated in downtown and within walking distance to Chinatown and other venues. The metro station is only a block away which makes it convenient to get around. There is usually a taxi ready to go, and the ride to the airport is $50 CAN - tlc248 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (855) 618-4697 * 380 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal, Quebec H3A 0B1 Canada 10. Hotel Monville Nearby restaurants: * Bivouac * Kyo Bar Japonais * Il Focolaio Nearby attractions: * Notre-Dame Basilica * St. Patrick's Basilica * Quartier des spectacles Let’s see how people review this hotel Location - First off, the hotel is placed in the Most amazing location in Montreal. Walking distance from the old port, from the nightlife and all kinds of top restaurants. Cleaniness : Hotel is so modern and clean. Walking in the roon, it did not only look spotless clean but also had a very pleasant smell. The gym is also very big, clean and everything is organized. The maintenance staff is very friendly and respectful, always smiling. Makes you feel very comfortable. STAFF: having travelled enormously, and having many other hotel experiences, I can say that everyone at hotel Monville is so great. A very special thank you to Chris** and the team for the great hospitality on the last ten days. Handled all my needs and helped accomodate me with literally everything. Everyone is smiley welcoming and seems like a happy working environment which resonates to the guests. The Valet team and security is also so great and willing to help give a hand at all times. Thank you to the bar staff as well! Having spent the last ten days here, I can say that If you are debating between hotels in Montreal , I recommend you to try Hotel Monville. I assure you that you will not regret it! 10/10 all around! Also, dog friendly! Such a plus. And everyone will say hi to your pup - Hanint22 The location is convenient and central, rooms are clean and modern - I stayed in a suite. I would like to especially mention Romane at the front desk. She was very knowledgeable about the area and provides excellent suggestions. - Priyatraveling I was a little concerned when I got to my room because the pillows were so fat, but they were the softest, squishiest pillows I’ve ever laid my head on. I slept so good and woke up to all that natural light coming in through the big window! Will definitely want to stay there again! Also, the bed looks lumpy in the photo but it’s not. It was so comfy!! - kandissu Hotel Info * 1041 de Bleury street, Montreal, Quebec H2Z 1M7 Canada

10 brilliant hotels in Toronto

1. The Hazelton Hotel Nearby restaurants: * STK Toronto * Planta Yorkville * Trattoria Nervosa Nearby attractions: * Royal Conservatory of Music * Royal Ontario Museum * Yorkville Village Let’s see how people review this hotel We arrived at the Hazelton Hotel too early to check in! The welcoming receptionist asked us if we would mind having lunch in the restaurant and that our room would be ready by the time we finished eating.  They came and let us know that our room was ready.  Every member of staff was so accommodating and welcoming from the moment we arrived until they had put our luggage in the car to take us to the airport.  I have never had that experience before.  We loved everything about The Hazelton from the service to the bed linen to the general ambiance, and of course the position, right in the heart of Yorkeville. - susansF2847HL Location was simply perfect for our first visit to Toronto. The hotel design was spectacular in every way (but honestly for the price I was expecting nothing less). What sets this hotel far apart from its competitors, locally and globally, is the service. From pulling up to the valet and from every moment beyond we were simply blown away by the attention to detail. Our pillow preference, the way we like the temperature set, the COOKIES, the fact that we have 3 last names in our family and they addressed us all properly (no easy fete), help with everything and anything, welcoming our brand new granddaughter with as much excitement as we had and on and on and on! The ONE restaurant also truly exceeded our expectations. We are extensive travelers and former food industry employees (a lifetime ago but the passion is still there) and frankly tend to not favor hotel restaurants. Even at the highest end they are usually necessary amenities and nothing ultimately exciting.  You must ignore the price point (which is very high) and dive in. The menu is thoughtful and current without being trendy and is executed to perfection. We had 5 meals there in our 4 days and honestly couldn't even rate which was best. Special thanks to Angela and Alejandra who made us feel more like family, (very honored and treasured family, mind you) than simply hotel guests.  Regards to the entire team, day, night and everyone in between as well. We are forever grateful and look forward to coming back. - diannavecchio My husband and I stayed at The Hazelton in September of 2022. Our experience was above and beyond what we imagined. We were treated like a King and Queen. Our room was beautiful and luxurious, and our dinner and breakfast at ONE Restaurant were perfect. The pool and spa were incredibly relaxing. The staff was really what stood out. I think that's what separates The Hazelton from the rest. They were incredibly friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our Anniversary special. We can't wait to go back and do it all over again. Unforgettable! - HVioletArt Hotel Info * view website * 1 (647) 696-8720 * 118 Yorkville Ave, Toronto, Ontario M5R 1C2 Canada 2. 1 Hotel Toronto Nearby restaurants: * Jacobs & Co. Steakhouse * Wilbur Mexicana * Rodney's Oyster House Nearby attractions: * CHILL Ice House * Goldie * The Bentway Let’s see how people review this hotel We recently hosted a client event at the 1 Hotel Toronto, and it was perfection.  The meeting space was lovely, simple, clear and airy.  The staff was so helpful, especially Kencia, even with several last-minute changes. The food was delicious.  The drinks were so yummy. Everyone raved! - wildpam Wonderful overall experience.  Starting from the car valet, check-in, room, food, beverages, service, amenities, and location the choice could not be surpassed!  Loved the signature fragrance in the lobby, soft fluffy white towels, comfy duvet, natural wood decor, and Nespresso machine with stone cups.  The hotel staff epitomizes professionalism and warmth. - onlygoodplaces What a brilliant hotel. Everything was superb from the pressure in the shower to the focus on sustainability. The food was excellent and fresh. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you for a great stay!  - nberez Hotel Info * view website * 1 (833) 657-1735 * 550 Wellington St W, Toronto, Ontario M5V 2V4 Canada 3. Bisha Hotel Toronto Nearby restaurants: * ALO RESTAURANT * Sportsnet Grill * Pai Northern Thai Kitchen Nearby attractions: * Royal Alexandra Theatre * Princess of Wales Theatre * The Second City Toronto Let’s see how people review this hotel The Bisha Hotel’s location and aesthetic are perfect. The service I received from the doorman, to the receptionist, to the cleaner were welcoming and great. I would advise anyone vacationing in Toronto to stay here during their visit.  - mcraymondmedy Celebrated a milestone at Bisha with my friends. My stay was seamless from start to finish with outstanding service and amenities. Views are unparalleled but the service is what makes Bisha the best in Toronto. Kost was excellent with fresh flavours-the calamari is a favourite. The pool area is relaxing and refreshing-great cocktail list.  Cannot wait to return to Bisha again. - Siasjourneys I had a wonderful stay as always  - the location is perfect with so much to do close by, and the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The team is also always so welcoming. Bonus - some of the rooms even have a large balcony. This is my favourite hotel! - shanburns92 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (844) 275-1726 * 80 Blue Jays Way, Toronto, Ontario M5V 2G3 Canada 4. The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto Nearby restaurants: * Sportsnet Grill * Pai Northern Thai Kitchen * Michael's on Simcoe Nearby attractions: * Ripley's Aquarium of Canada * CN Tower * Royal Alexandra Theatre Let’s see how people review this hotel We stayed as 3 couples each in a Deluxe K with Club Access.  Well appointed rooms with good storage and well lit bathrooms (didn’t love the pillows but never asked for a change.  If I had, no doubt it would have been accommodated).  Great amenities.  Everything you would expect of a premier Ritz.  However, the Staff made it EXCEPTIONAL.  From the front desk to the Club Lounge, the staff could not do more to make us comfortable.  The lounge was very well stocked, many great options with good food offerings and a well stocked bar.  Well laid out and never felt crowded.  Views were amazing.  Checking staff was excellent.  Despite our status, hotel was full and we weren’t upgraded but we didn’t really need it.  Location is very central to everything.  My only gripe (minor) was the Doorman.  They were not attentive or as helpful as we are accustomed to at a Ritz.  Wasn’t consequential for a two day stay.  Spa was nice and relaxing.  Massage was good. - rimavh The Ritz-Carlton Visit, So we had another great stay at The Ritz, this time for my birthday, my wife was unable to join us so it was just myself and my daughter. We had decided this time to get the corner suite, initially without the club lounge access. After booking Shea from Guest Experiences had reached out to me, offering suggestions, booking us in to the newly opened Epoch, also bookings for TOCA as well pre booked, I had a lot of interaction with Shea prior to arrival. This was a new experience for us, a lot of text comms on booking and checking on our itineraries etc as well as emails going back and forward, which was a very nice touch.  Pre-booking reservations I think is a great idea. After a long Friday night drive through downtown traffic, we arrived fairly late and I checked in with Elizabeth, as I was checking in I  was surprised, pleasantly surprised to be greeted by GM Mr. Guillame Benezach who came over to welcome us and say hi. It was great seeing him again and he had gone through great lengths (through our comms) in putting wheels in motion to ensure our stay was great. Now, it had been some years that we had the suite and something was amiss, the room seemed a bit too dark although it was night time and some of the facilities in the room which were previously in the last suite, such as the TV in the bathroom mirrors and heated bathroom floors, also the dividing door was gone. It also looked like the mini-bar/honour bar had gone and a new design of what appeared to be an old style traveling case in place albeit with in-built mini fridge, tea and coffee station. Perhaps there is no demand for this anymore? Although I must admit having a full stocked honor bar is an awesome feeling but I guess people may just be asking an empty fridge to put their own drinks and candy’s in there. I also guess it makes things easier. The writing desk was also not in the main bedroom but in the joining section in-between the bedroom and the sitting area however it did have a built in make-up mirror/light with plug points in there, so fine for doing your make up, but no good for working and a bit weird that there were no power points at the desk top. I’m not sure if I could have routed my laptop to those points but I found some at floor level As a rewards member we had free wifi and it was fast and we were both able to watch youtube on both my own laptop and the TV’s. We had a couple of movie nights and pop-corn to boot which was fantastic. But I couldn’t still get the feeling that this was not quite right, I did want my daughter who didn’t remember her last trip to be as wowed and amazed as I was. Although that said she was actually amazed at the whole room saying how awesome the suite was and her jaw totally dropped on entering the room. Still, I went down to have a chat with Elizabeth who really understood what my concerns where and in true Ritz form, was 100% customer focused on trying to help out. I knew this experience could be better. At this point I met Shea for the first time, who had a lovely gift for my daughter and did explain the main changes in the Ritz and the room redesign but did want me to be happy with my room choices so she suggested a higher floor. I also reconsidered my option for the club lounge. Now this room had a totally different feel, much brighter and it was then that I realised that although the room layout was the same it was actually a brighter, lighter colour carpet that was different. This brightens up the room no end also the higher floor gave more light to the room the view was better and bingo like that we were set. (so tip one, you do need a higher floor, 19 or higher). Both Shea and Elizabeth really made my concerns not seem over the top, you are paying good money and they want you to be happy with the product. I remember apologizing profusely, I felt like some diva who wasn’t getting what she wanted LOL but no, they totally understood and wanted everything to be right, everything to be up to Ritz standard. We dined at Epoch that evening it was great to see Carleen and the food was out of this world. We decided to get best bang for our buck by doing 2 full days of club lounge and to be honest, you really have to think, when you do the math, the club lounge IS WELL WORTH it, you basically have food offerings 5 times a day. Unlimited soft drinks and alcohol, you are staying at a 5 star hotel, when you think for 2 people what you are paying for club lounge you are ACTUALLY saving money but it’s NOT just the food and drink offerings. You are paying for a little piece of relaxation you are dining in style, a beautiful view of the lake, attentive staff this…THIS you cannot put a dollar figure to the staff are able to secure discounts on attractions, make you out of this world cocktails, fantastic cappuccino’s, they offer suggestions and more ! You have to understand, YES you can go out and get a $20 breakfast BUT you are here to relax, enjoy and be pampered, this is what you don’t see when look at prices when booking. From Saturday to Monday we were pretty much stuffed with all the little food offerings. Often nipping up to grab a coffee, a candy or a pop, almost like nipping into your very own BUT well stocked kitchen for a bite to eat, and taking back some bagels or a pastry to your room after breakfast is a must. For the real true Ritz experience if you DO NOT GO club lounge you are missing out. This time round we didn’t go Toca, the offerings were not really to my taste, all though they all sounded exquisite, my daughter was more keen on going out and hitting the night life, although I knew the service would not be the same, my birthday dinner at Moxies which is just across the street was very "lackluster" but when you have an 11 year old fine dining is not really what they are after. Maybe next time. However we made it back to the lounge and Olga made a fantastic take on a Cosmo for me and of course who birthday needs cake when you have The Ritz desserts. I’m not sure why the Ritz Bar was closed, but that was a really nice buzzing place. Very bright and vibrant, a nice place for breakfast and lunch and to hang out in, maybe Epoch is the new Ritz Bar ? but as we had the club lounge we didn’t miss out. My daughter of course LOVED the hot tub and swimming pool and it was just great to relax, the remit for this weekend was RELAX, get pampered and celebrate, my wife def missed out on this weekend. Although there were some glitches and I do mean, very minor ones, the overall experience you just cannot beat, one thing that The Ritz has, it has fantastic grade A customer service EVERYONE you meet from the front door guy’s, the bell, the valets are all totally awesome I mean where else will you see a hotel GM come and greet you. Where else will you see guest experience staff who REALLY DO want to make your experience great. I’ve been to The Ritz now 5 times, by far my most favourite place to stay and relax. It is more expensive than most hotels but you have to understand this is a 5 Star hotel, If you can’t finance a suite go for a deluxe guest room you won’t be disappointed. If a suite YOU must get a high floor. And you MUST, absolutely MUST get club lounge access. I want to give a BIG thank you to ALL the fantastic and hard working Ladies and Gentlemen of The Ritz, the club lounge staff, Shea and of course Mr Benzech for taking the trouble to see that everything was perfect for us. I’m still eyeing up the banquet hall, maybe for a wedding LOL (mind you I have about 8 years to start saving for that!) I hope pictures will be posted here I have 2 video’s on “youtube”, so do visit me on adrianjayonline for those. - Z1460MIadrianj I stayed at the Ritz Carlton Toronto in a corner suite room for 6 nights in September 2022. The hotel was busy during the early days of my stay due to TIFF. Despite that, the staffs always managed to recognize me, talked to me, and sincerely were caring towards my purposes during the stay. They were always attentive and strived to make my stay more comfortable. A front desk staff, Kateryna, was always very attentive, polite, and friendly. She took care of me in solving some minor issues with my room, ensuring my safety with an incident in the lobby, and printing an important document late at night that eventually saved me a lot of time in my travel later on. The room was luxurious and comfortable, with everything working properly. Mineral water were given generously twice a day. Bathroom was luxurious with a very important feature, an automatic toilet. Bedroom was homey and serene, inducing good night rest. The bed was a bit too soft for me but I still managed to rest comfortably. Location of the hotel is excellent. Lots of dining options are available nearby. Theaters are also within short walking distance. Quite a number of unique and wonderful locally owned coffee places are within walking distance as well. All in all, I would love to be back at Ritz Carlton Toronto in the future. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay there.  - Fkristan Hotel Info * view website * 1 (844) 631-0595 * 181 Wellington St W, Toronto, Ontario M5V 3G7 Canada 5. The Drake Hotel Nearby restaurants: * The Drake Hotel * The Good Son Restaurant * Caffino Nearby attractions: * Lamport Stadium * Sweaty Betty's * The Funhouse Toronto Let’s see how people review this hotel Loved this art filled hotel. Totally enjoyed every nook and cranny. The restaurant, café, sky bar were all terrific. The Malin & Goetz Bath products were wonderful as were the dispensers. I would def return to this hotel. - cheryll111 You must reserve parking in advance, as they do not have adequate space. We parked a block away and it was about the same price. Everyone was so accommodating adn friendly, the bar and restaurant are patronized by regulars and locals, in addition to hotel guests and the food was really good. The area is still in development, but there are lots of great spots to dine within walking distance. Most things you'd want to visit as a tourist are not walkable and driving there is a nightmare. Parking gets pricey too, nowhere is it free, - bucksbabe1720 I just have to give all of my appreciation to this hotel. I received a phone call from Tarrin today regarding my stay. I had booked this hotel through Expedia. We had an out of province family emergency and in all the chaos and stress I completely forgot to cancel my reservation. I sent an email to the hotel explaining my situation and received a phone call today saying the would reverse all charges. I cannot explain how grateful and appreciative I am.  Top notch compassion and customer service. I will not hesitate to book here again.  Once again thank you. - F6144BUamberh Hotel Info * view website * 1 (647) 799-5532 * 1150 Queen St W, Toronto, Ontario M6J 1J3 Canada 6. Four Seasons Hotel Toronto Nearby restaurants: * STK Toronto * Planta Yorkville * Trattoria Nervosa Nearby attractions: * Toronto Public Library * Yorkville Village * Cineplex Odeon Varsity and VIP Cinemas Let’s see how people review this hotel We decided to stay at the Four Seasons because of its location and reputation.  We were not disappointed.  The room was comfortable and stylishly well appointed.  The food and service were great at both the Bar Lounge and the main dining room, Cafe Buloud.  In particular our servers Lucas @ D Bar Lounge and Shay @ Cafe Buloud looked after us very well.  The location was perfect as we could easily walk to all the places we wanted to go to during our 4 day Yorkville culinary adventure. - waynegm54 Had a fantastic stay as usual. I had stayed there for my 50th birthday with two friends in December and had a great time in spite of the fact that the city was in lockdown mode. Fast forward to July where I could finally have a party downtown and celebrate with friends and family. It was fitting that I spend the weekend  at one of my favourite places on Toronto aside from my condo. I missed seeing Francis at the porte cochere, he always gives me a warm welcome.  I did get to see him when I was back three weeks later, thank you Francis! Front desk wished me a happy belated birthday which was a nice touch. My Deluxe one bedroom suite was amazing of course, spacious and super comfortable. I would recommend it for families as there are two bathrooms and a sofa bed and did I say lots of space? Well I was traveling alone and had the whole thing to myself ha! I was unable to get a spa treatment as they were fully booked. A word of advice to book the spa early to avoid disappointment as they are EXTREMELY popular!  I did go and enjoy the pool and had drink while I was at it. Brunch at Cafe Boulud was absolutely in order. Lizelle  who is always lovely gave me a warm welcome and got me seated and Kulpreet who was new took really good care of me. I only knew he was new because I had never seen him before, his service and knowledge was impeccable, nicely done! Had a great time at Dbar as well lunch at DAzur, always great food, no complaints whatsoever. I went to visit Sonia in the gift shop who is always lovely. They were out of the bath scent I like and only had the smaller packets. She didn’t give up and called up to the spa to check if they had the larger size and they did, so I took my usual bubble bath with a book and a nice glass of red. Thank you again Four Seasons for a fantastic two days, as always I was in good hands and well taken care of! - Sipsster The hotel is conveniently locate, has nice facilities, and excellent service. I have nothing but positive things to say about my stay and overall experience. If I am in the area again, I will definitely choose this hotel. - travel31221331 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (416) 964-0411 * 60 Yorkville Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4W 0A4 Canada 7. Shangri-La Toronto Nearby restaurants: * Pai Northern Thai Kitchen * Michael's on Simcoe * Byblos Nearby attractions: * Royal Alexandra Theatre * Toronto Symphony Orchestra * Princess of Wales Theatre Let’s see how people review this hotel Andy at the front desk was so kind and helpful. Got us our room early and helped us so much. He is excellent. The stay was great and bed was very comfortable. Great location. We were close to everything. - 651safis I have been staying at the Shangri La Toronto almost once a month during the pandemic. It is my trip away from home known as a staycation. I got to say, although I have stayed at all the 5 star hotels in Toronto, the staff at the SL really make you feel special. Albeit, I’m now considered a regular, their service never waivers, but they always try to maintain consistency with exceptional service. From the valet with Marlon who is always helpful with charging our hybrid car or forgetting something in it, to the front desk staff from Viktoria, Dean and Willow in making checkin seamless, to the room service staff which are always so friendly and accommodating. Now, I understand during the pandemic staffing at hotels have been challenging so getting assistance might not be as readily, but they do make the best efforts to make your experience memorable. Lastly, the CNY/Lunar high tea was amazing. The dim sum portion was top notch. Kudos to the chef and staff. I’m still craving them and it’s been 5 days! If you are looking for a stay in the city, come to the Shangri La. You won’t regret it! - Smilesandgiggles I would go back to the Shangri-la Toronto tomorrow if I could. Despite a rocky check-in (they wouldn't accept my type of credit card for the check-in and wouldn't take a cash/debit deposit), the team was incredibly patient and professional. I was there on a solo staycation, and can say that every convenience at this hotel was afforded to me. Every staff member knew my name and remembered the smallest details I'd requested, ensuring anyone else who was servicing me was made aware and I didn't have to repeat my request a single time (tipping well may have aided in that experience too, though) The room, the facilities, the spa (fantastic spa btw), even from the valet, there was not a single moment where the team was not ensuring I had the highest standard of service. Having travelled to other "luxury" brands in other cities, I was pleasantly surprised that my best experience was in my own home town. Definitely returning and will look to visiting their other hotels when I travel to other cities.  - 294kebaw Hotel Info * view website * 1 (647) 788-8888 * 188 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5H 0A3 Canada 8. Le Germain Hotel Toronto Maple Leaf Square Nearby restaurants: * Miku * BeaverTails * Library Bar Nearby attractions: * Ripley's Aquarium of Canada * Toronto Harbour * Scotiabank Arena Let’s see how people review this hotel First, the location of the hotel was central to everything my wife and I wanted to do, and it was easy for us to catch a train, bus, or have a cab or an Uber pick us up... and we were close enough to a number of sights to just walk.  The hotel has a very polite and helpful staff, from Alan greeting us at the desk and getting things situated to Tatiana and Jorge helping us plan many of our activities in advance of our trip.  The decor is quite modern, yet the lighting and soft jazz playing when you arrive at your room makes the place feel like home.  We rather enjoyed our stay, and we recommend anyone traveling to Toronto to make their stay at Le Germain. - Awvarwy We have stayed at this hotel multiple times over the years.  Never has this hotel and staff disappointed us.  This time we had our 4-year-old daughter with us.  They had left a child's robe, slippers, paw patrol pillow, and Mickey Mouse stuffy in the room just to make her feel comfortable.  My daughter loved it.  It is the little details like this that keep us coming back.  I would never hesitate to book this hotel.  Also, the location is great beside Union Station.  So easy to get around town here. - Grey1980 This was my first time staying at a Le Germain property, as I am normally partial to a major US-based chain, but wow, am I glad I stayed! From the moment of check-in, through every detail of the stay, the service was impeccable. The physical condition of the hotel is also great. The standard room itself was very large. I really enjoyed the room setup, with a glass enclosed shower as part of a large bathroom area (and there is the ability to close shades and give the shower complete privacy). The bed was super comfortable. The included Nespresso machine and pods were a major benefit. My stay was booked with the NHL Hall of Fame Package. This included complimentary valet parking, continental breakfast for two, and entry into the hockey hall of fame. This value certainly added up. The valet service was very efficient. While the continental breakfast options were limited, the croissants are the best outside of France. The front desk clerk even included an extra Hall of Fame entry ticket so that my wife did not have to pay for hers. The location also cannot be beat, right in the heart of Maple Leaf Square. Despite the busy location, the room was quiet and offered a great night sleep. - FightOn Hotel Info * 75 Bremner Blvd, Toronto, Ontario M5J 0A1 Canada 9. One King West Hotel & Residence Nearby restaurants: * Richmond Station * C'est what? * Canoe Restaurant & Bar Nearby attractions: * Levelup Reality * Hockey Hall of Fame * St James Anglican Cathedral Let’s see how people review this hotel I’ve had a great experience at this hotel. Muhammad was very helpful and took care of our needs. It was very busy but he still was very attentive towards assisting us. He was engaging and full of energy. Overall a fabulous experience  - 919tannik I've stayed at One King twice this year. I orginally booked because the price was reasonable and the location was great. After staying there in April I returned because I was so impressed with the hotel. It is very well kept and clean. Both of my rooms had great views of the CN tower and city.  The beds are comfortable, more on the firm side, which I prefer.  I bought food and used the kitchenette every day for breakfast. Front desk and the bell staff are courteous and attentive. I found all the staff, regardless of if they were helping me, to be exceptionally kind.  Whenever I was in the elevator with someone they would smile, greet me and strike up a conversation. The location is a short walk to the arena, train station, and there are so many great restaurants within minutes of the hotel. I loved going to the Daily Ritual Cafe (which is attached to the hotel)  in the morning, grabbing a coffee and walking around the corner to Berczy park to people watching.  Overall it's just solid hotel with great staff. I look forward to my next stay. - Skmoon I want to thank Muhammad for his exceptional service this past weekend in setting everything up at One King West Hotel. My girlfriend & I visit here often when we are in town, and Muhammad makes the process extremely smooth and seemless. Could not ask for a better experience.

Highly recommend. - vicm504 We were pleased to finally return to TO and booked the Omni King Edward for our stay.  This remarkable hotel impresses from the moment you walk in.  The lobby is beautiful; the rooms are spacious & luxurious; the staff are friendly & professional.    We highly recommend a stay at the King Edward Hotel - you will feel like Royalty!!! - 16paulac From the moment you walk in, you are treated so kindly by all staff. What a wonderful and relaxing experience this was. The room was spacious and clean. Our breakfast room-service arrived very quickly and we were more than satisfied with our stay! We can’t wait to come up with any excuse to go back! - mariefrancel439 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (833) 855-6440 * 37 King Street East, Toronto, Ontario M5C 1E9 Canada

7 B&Bs in Boston that customers love

1. Inn at Harbor Hill Marina Nearby restaurants: * Skipper's Restaurant * Lillian's Cafe * Cafe SoL Nearby attractions: * Niantic Bay Boardwalk * Niantic Children's Museum * Hole-in-the-Wall Beach Let’s see how people review this hotel As many others have said, this is an Inn that meets expectations. We changed our itinerary as part of our 2 week east coast trip to be able to stay here due to the requirement to book at least a 3 night stay. It was exactly as we expected and was excellent. From checking in with Brandon, to the standard of the rooms, all the servers at breakfast, everything was perfect. We stayed in room 3 in the main house, and as it’s above the breakfast room you would often smell bacon first thing, but the sunrise view from the balcony more than made up from it. - Superdryers Quaint setting !     Enjoy your breakfast on the waterfront!   Loved the decor.    I enjoyed the restful environment.    I was on the first floor in room 11.    Super clean accommodations and a nice B&B feel.   You may hear your neighbors but it wasn’t problematic.     Lovely property - carolmH168RA My family and I stayed here last weekend for a family reunion we were having in nearby Giants Neck Beach.  It was so lovely, inside and out! Our room was impeccably clean, the entire Inn was tastefully decorated and had a very cool, laid-back vibe.  The chef made the most delicious breakfasts in the morning, we were pleasantly surprised!  Our server was so sweet and couldn't do enough for us.  The entire staff was so accomodating and kind, professional and really tried to please!  The wine and cheese in the late afternoon was so nice and the cookies they would leave out were always fresh baked and warm and so delicious. It was the little touches that meant so much.  Our only disappointment is there is no housekeeping per se (they said due to Covid) however it would have been nice to have toiletries replenished, fresh towels etc.  I had to ask for towels and they were given to us but after two days we would have loved our room freshened up a bit. Otherwise the staff was great and really did try to please.  The views and the location is superb.  We walked conveniently to town and really enjoyed the cute shops and great places to eat. We will definitely be back! - LadyTram Hotel Info * 60 Grand St, Niantic, CT 06357-3237 2. Abbey's Lantern Hill Inn Nearby restaurants: * Buon Appetito Ristorante & Pizzeria * Somewhere In Time * Junior's Restaurant Nearby attractions: * Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center * Tanger Outlets Foxwoods * Foxwoods Resort Casino Let’s see how people review this hotel We stayed for two nights in The Cottage and had a wonderful experience. Our visit was everything you would want: comfortable, quiet, lovely surroundings, and a delicious, made-to-order breakfast. Erika and Peter were so friendly and helpful with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations. The jacuzzi was the perfect touch. We look forward to coming back again, next time with our daughter and doggy. - joshnA8664FH Lovely wooded property with beautiful gardens in southeastern Connecticut, not far from Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun Casinos and the pretty villages of Mystic and Stonington. We enjoyed staying in the first floor "Downeast" room which was spotless and beautifully decorated to fit its name, with many thoughtful touches. There was a private deck entrance with our own table and chairs. In the room there were two comfortable chairs by a working fireplace (wood and matches provided), a desk with chair, mini fridge and microwave. The queen bed was comfortable with beautiful bed linens. The bathroom had a large shower, fluffy towels, lovely toiletries and a hairdryer. Breakfast trays are provided in the room for enjoying wonderful breakfast options that are delivered to the door each morning at a chosen time. everything was delightful, including the innkeepers, Erika and Peter. We loved our two night stay.  - wingm8 We had a lovely stay at Abbey's Lantern Hill Inn in early August of 2022.  Our room was clean, nicely decorated, and quiet.  The bed was supportive and comfortable. The breakfasts each day were delicious, and we appreciated having them on our private patio. The care and concern of the owners was evident in all aspects of our stay.   We will definitely stay here again when we're in the area.  Highly recommend! - Janite555 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (860) 572-0483 * 780 Lantern Hill Rd, Ledyard, CT 06339-1459 3. Clarendon Square Nearby restaurants: * B & G Oysters * The Salty Pig * Douzo Nearby attractions: * Copley Place * South End * George Washington Statue Let’s see how people review this hotel I would love to be able able to say that the Clarendon Square is a home from home but, in truth, I could only dream of a home like this one! It is a wonderful place. Staying there felt more like being guests in someone’s beautiful home than customers in a soulless chain hotel. It’s a quintessentially Boston brownstone a short stroll from Back Bay station in a quiet street. You feel as if you are a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city but just a short stroll and you can access everything Boston has to  offer Our room was beautifully presented, the bed very comfortable, bathroom perfect and lots of space to relax in. It had everything we needed and there were nice touches like good quality coffee, rather than sachets, waffles when we arrive and a fully stocked mini bar that doesn’t buzz all night and keep you awake (it’s a particular bugbear of mine and I’ve turned off several over the years). The neighbourhood has lots of great places to eat and drink and the website Provided some great recommendations. We liked the breakfasts at Charlie’s Sandwich Shoppe which is just around the corner. Getting to the historic areas of Boston is a lovely stroll (or in our case, run!) along Commonwealth Avenue and through the parks or along the Espanade but you also get around easily by public transport. Both routes were lovely and added to to our enjoyment of visiting the city. We didn’t have time to use it but there is a hot tub on the roof. The views were amazing from there but we just ran out of time - next time we’all prioritise that. All in all, our expectations were fully met and I would was certainly recommend The Clarendon to anyone visiting Boston. - Groucho58 Just returned from a weekend in Boston after visiting my son, who recently moved to the area.  I stayed at The Clarendon Square B&B, and it was the best!  The location, right on the cusp of Back Bay and the South End, was perfect.  Within walking distance of most everything. Upon arrival, the entrance was exactly as pictured, so there was no confusion as to how to enter. Stephen was very thorough with the keyless entry points.  I hadn't used the app that he requested I download ahead of time, and it was quite seamless.  So easy to use and saved having to carry a key around, although one was available, should I prefer.  The main floor was quite something.  It was quite apparent that a lot of love (and money) had been put into the renovation.  Just beautiful!  I requested a higher floor and was given a room on the fourth floor.  There was no elevator, so my son carried my luggage up to the top floor, however, Stephen would've been more than willing had my son not been there.  Once my luggage was in my room, Stephen showed us the rooftop with a hot tub.  It was amazing. Wished I had taken my swimsuit.  I contemplated going back up there one night after I got back from dinner but never did.  I bet at night, with the lights of the city shining bright, the view is fantastic!  The room was outstanding.  The bathroom had been recently renovated and was laid out nicely.  The body products smelled delish! The room was quite spacious, and it had a pour over coffee service, as well as a high end selection of teas.  Because the breakfast portion of the program had not been reintroduced due to Covid, the room included oatmeal and waffles that were quite tasty.  There was a fridge stocked with various beers, wine and champagne for purchase as well.  Bananas and cookies were also always available in the shared space.  The only negative, which I hate to even say since everything else was so perfect, was that the A/C was central and not in each room.  I believe it was set at 69 or 70 degrees, which is great during the day, but is much too warm for me at night.  I tend to sleep in a room that is closer to 62-64 degrees.  Thankfully, there was a ceiling fan in the sitting area of the room, so that was helpful.  I would highly recommend staying at the Clarendon Square B&B, just a great experience. - DNSarg The Inn was very comfy. We were doing an overnight without kids in our own city, and this place was a treat.The neighborhood was beautiful.  We loved the suite and it's giant tub. The room was cozy and comfortable. The Manager greeted us and made us tea . We were too cold to do the roof top tub (it was February) but the view of the ciry was worth being cold. We had a pleasant walk to one of the restaurants the Inn's website recommended (which was also fantastic).  - 165bridgets Hotel Info * 198 W Brookline St, Boston, MA 02118-1280 4. Candleberry Inn on Cape Cod Nearby restaurants: * Ice Cream Smuggler * Freemans Grill * Grumpy's Restaurant Nearby attractions: * Cape Cod Rail Trail * Skaket Beach * Nickerson State Park Let’s see how people review this hotel The Candleberry Inn is the most welcoming and inviting inn my husband and I have ever stayed at. Marco was there to greet us and show us around. He was such a gracious host.  It was like visiting family or friends  at their home.  The inn was so quaint and cozy.  Every square inch had a purpose and was impeccably decorated to fit the age and character of the inn and so immaculately clean!  The breakfast was exquisitely prepared.  Angelo the chef came out to say hello and we had the opportunity to tell him how delicious and how much we enjoyed his gourmet breakfast!  Both Marco and Angelo are truly wonderful and caring owners and you can’t help but want to keep returning.  I highly recommend a visit to this inn! - joannebO3875PA To stay at Candleberry is to leave all stress at the gate. Marco and Angelo and the entire team make it their mission to ensure your stay is perfect in every sense. No corner is left unattended in their efforts. Pristine cleanliness, outstanding bed, linens, toiletries (who knew peppermint shampoo was the one thing you’d been missing in your life?)! Bathroom fittings at the highest level and lots of light. The breakfasts conjured up by Angelo were on a level we have never experienced in 40 years of travelling the world and staying in some top notch places. The European influence works well. The balance between sweet and savoury/sour was spot on. The description of ‘fruit course’ could never prepare your palette for the explosion of taste. The hot dishes were made individually and so were fresh as fresh could be, packed with flavour and texture. Great tea……a rarity in the US….and fresh coffee available all day. Each afternoon a small, individually addressed parcel appears with a delicious bit of naughtiness! We left for our long trip home feeling refreshed and cosseted. Thank you, thank you. - jans322 What a wonderful place to stay. The room was gorgeous, filled with beautiful antiques, but also a very nice ensuite bathroom complete with tiled shower with hand held wand and rain shower head. All the amenities you want or need. The most comfortable bed complete with luxury sheets etc. Breakfast was amazing with delicious coffees, teas, fruit, egg dishes and French toast! We had the best service throughout our stay from everyone involved. Nothing was overlooked! You'll truely enjoy a trip to Candleberry Inn! - Q8620EWbeverlyb Hotel Info * view website * 1 (508) 841-3505 * 1882 Main St, Brewster, MA 02631-1827 5. A Village B&B Nearby restaurants: * O'Hara's Food & Spirits * Walnut Grille * Farm Grill and Rotisserie Nearby attractions: * Alex and Company * Marcia & Bea Antiques * New England Mobile Book Fair Let’s see how people review this hotel What a wonderful stay we had at A Village B and B.  This 19th century home has been beautifully restored by the owner, Claudia, and is such a welcoming and comfortable place.  It’s close to transportation, located in a lovely neighborhood, and has shops and restaurants nearby.  A delicious continental breakfast is included, and plenty of snacks are available. Our rooms were impeccably clean and well appointed.  Claudia has worked meticulously to provide everything that you might need during your stay in Boston.  (Including cards for the T)  Claudia, thanks so much for your hospitality. We hope to see you again soon. - glennakayc We have been staying at A Village B&B our last few trip to Newton, and it has become our top choice when visiting our daughter at college. The place is always extremely clean, and so charming. It’s just off the main street, so within walking distance to local shops, restaurants and the T station. There is a wonderful continental breakfast each morning, and we’ve met such lovely people during each stay.  I’d highly recommend it. - winggret1 If you are looking for a place to stay that feels like home but where you don't have to make breakfast this is the place for you.   I was lucky enough to find the King Suite available while I was in Boston for a week on business.  I was so glad that I stayed here instead of a hotel.  The room was great - spacious and clean with everything I needed, and the screened in porch was perfect for winding down at night with a book.   I didn't utilize them but the cards for the T that were in the room were a very nice touch. Off street parking, a definite bonus, made coming and going from the office a breeze. There are several restaurants in the immediate and very walkable vicinity.  O'Hara's is definitely at the top of my list, but I tried a different one every night and was not disappointed.  Super cute (and safe) neighborhood to walk in. Claudia (host) was very accommodating and her breakfast trumps any hotel breakfast I've had recently.  It was a delectable spread of fresh fruit, yogurt, cheese, cereal, baked goods, juice, and very delicious coffee.  She had great recommendations for restaurants and activities, but was also just very pleasant to chat with.   I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in the area, and highly recommend. - L8700LCsarahm Hotel Info * 69 Columbus St, Newton, MA 02461-1437 6. Green Turtle Floating Bed and Breakfast Nearby restaurants: * Theo's Cozy Corner Restaurant * The Warren Tavern * Nico Nearby attractions: * USS Constitution * The Printing Office of Edes & Gill * Old North Church & Historic Site Let’s see how people review this hotel Didn't know places like this existed. First of all, Boston is beautiful.. one of my favourite places. Spent July 4th weekend here and its a must! Green Turtle is unique made even more special by Jon & Karen. They email you on the day to find out your ETA/flight times etc and are there to greet you when you arrive.  The houseboat is gorgeous, complete with amenities and drinks/snacks. Jon was kind and willing enough to go to the store to get us beer and wine and book us a taxi for our return journey. There is motion on the houseboat but its more of a gentle rock.  On a afternoon/evening we would sit on the pier with drinks watching the world go by. Had the best time and hopefully will return to see more delights of Boston and of course Green Turtle. Thanks - victoriatU1794EL Had a great time aboard the Green Turtle II.  We spent the afternoon on the aft deck sipping wine while watching the Sunday boat traffic. The accommodations were lovely and we couldn’t have felt more at home. The banana bread delivered for breakfast was the best ever! Thank you Karen and Jon for being such terrific hosts. - N6560HRpetram Are you looking for something a little out of the ordinary? You’ll find it at The Green Turtle. The idea of a floating bed and breakfast intrigued me as soon as I learned about it. Arriving in Boston during evening rush hour, I soon found myself at the Charlestown Marina and settled into my accommodations right on the water. My room was charming, comfortable, and well-equipped. Jon asked me about my travel to Boston and what my hopes were while I was visiting, and he gave me some good general ideas for nearby dining and interesting shopping as well as some on-target intercity travel advice to for seeing the items on my list. Thank you Jon and Karen! - SharilynH_13 Hotel Info * 1 Pier 8 at the end of 13th Street, Boston, MA 02129-2017 7. Boston T B & B Nearby restaurants: * NeXT * The Cheshire Cat Pub * Alice's Village Cafe Nearby attractions: * Canadian Tire Centre * Carp Farmers' Market * Tanger Outlets Ottawa Let’s see how people review this hotel We enjoyed a wonderful getaway at this lovely B&B! Everything was perfect! Shelley and Serge are fabulous hosts and were very attentive to our needs. Our room was cozy, clean and our breakfasts absolutely delicious! We really appreciated the advice given regarding local restaurants and made sure we tried out some very unique spots. I would definitely stay here again if ever in the area. - Y1873SUkathy The hosts, Shelley and Serge, in my eyes could be the new Mary Poppins “practically perfect in every way”!  We arrived to freshly baked treats and a selection of teas which included gluten free for me.  The second afternoon, Shelley even made me peanut butter cups.  What a star!  You only get Reece’s in the U.K., so the revelation that you can make them has changed my life!  Breakfast was equally amazing, tasty, inventive and abundant with fresh fruit and vegetables….. and the sausages were gluten free, another rare find.  Shelley and Serge discretely sounded out our interests, and recommended things to do and see which were right up our street, restaurants similarly.  Nothing more than a short 15 minute drive away.  Slightly further, you’re in Ottawa for theatres, museums, history and safe cycle hire.  I would return without hesitation if I’m passing near Ottawa again.  Impeccable attention to detail. - alisonaG1424QB Everything from time of booking to check-out was perfect!! Shelley and Serge have every detail mastered and our expectations were exceeded in every way! The Boston T is situated in a beautiful country setting which is only 8 - 10 minutes from restaurants, shopping, variety of golf courses and walking trails. We (senior couple) loved our two night stay! - JMRDICK Hotel Info * 106 Falcon Brook Rd, Carp, Ottawa, Ontario K0A 1L0 Canada

The 6 Best Hotels in Chicago

1. Sophy-Hyde Park Nearby restaurants: * Virtue Restaurant & Bar * Valois Restaurant * Mesler Kitchen | Bar | Lounge Nearby attractions: * The Silver Room * Saieh Hall for Economics * Harper Theater Let’s see how people review this hotel I had a wonderful staycation at the Sophy Hyde Park. Their restaurant food was excellent, room was clean and spacious. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed seeing all of the people of color working in every area of the hotel and restaurant. - 450leer I booked this hotel somewhat last minute while looking for a neighborhood to stay in Chicago, not downtown. This was an amazing hotel, it was beautiful and my experience with all staff was incredible. They were friendly and helpful above and beyond my expectations. I was nervous to stay at a hotel during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the hotel explained the measures they had taken and I felt comfortable throughout. I cannot wait to come back, hopefully post-pandemic, to truly take advantage of all the hotel has to offer.  - C4587KTmelanies The Sophy is really nice! The decor and vibe is great. The food at the Mesler was delicious and all the staff was was very welcoming! Prior to our visit we had not heard of the Sophy Hotel. I won a free night stay certificate and was not disappointed at all! What a great gem on the southside.  - adurec3 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (773) 993-1883 * 1411 E 53rd St, Chicago, IL 60615-4542 2. The Langham, Chicago Nearby restaurants: * Eddie V's Prime Seafood * Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab * The Purple Pig Nearby attractions: * Drunk Shakespeare * Chicago River * American Writers Museum Let’s see how people review this hotel I had been in more that 40 countries ,112 cities around the world and incredible resorts and hotels . The Langham Chicago the best . Service , details , pool that you can really swim , the men spa with steam room , sauna just incredible relaxing and clean . The Lounge top floor with all day snacks , beverages and bar service is great value . The location in the center of all to see in Chicago . - Hernando1 Our fifth stay at the Langham, and it was exceptional as always. Great location, tastefully designed lobby, rooms, bar, and restaurant, and outstanding service from a friendly staff. I can't see staying anywhere else when visiting Chicago. - HomerToby This has been a very enjoyable stay in Chicago. The room was ready upon my arrival and was very nice (apart from the view on the parking lot) and spacy. I loved the evening service. The location of the hotel is excellent, next to the river walk and nearby most of the Chicago attractions. - wimstrickx Hotel Info * view website * 1 (312) 923-9988 * 330 N.

The Study at University of Chicago Nearby restaurants: * Medici on 57th * Salonica * Plein Air Cafe & Eatery Nearby attractions: * Oriental Institute Museum * Museum of Science and Industry * University of Chicago Let’s see how people review this hotel Very welcoming and accommodating staff.  Room was lovely, comfortable, and clean.  We visited Chicago for the University of Chicago and the location of the hotel was perfect.  We were able to walk to campus, 53rd street, etc and didn't need a rental car to enjoy or very short stay. - melonij2021 Loved the welcoming environment! Loved the decor. The book selection had something for everyone. Furniture was very comfortable and relaxing. Best hotel staff I've ever encountered! They made us feel at home. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay here again. - 724aliciaj Lovely hotel with excellent staff.  The room was very comfortable and I look forward to going back.  I liked the clean, modern styling. And I can be picky about heat/ac but it worked great.  And I had the option of a small window to open if I wanted fresh air!  A nice detail. - O5323IRamyd Hotel Info * view website * 1 (773) 694-1950 * 1227 E 60th St, Chicago, IL 60637-2801 4. The Peninsula Chicago Nearby restaurants: * The Capital Grille * Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab * Do-Rite Donuts & Chicken - Streeterville Nearby attractions: * The Magnificent Mile * The Escape Game Chicago * EscapeHouse Chicago Let’s see how people review this hotel I had stayed here many times. First after a long weekend for Labor Day. Then for some birthdays, special occasions, and New Years. But a few weeks ago got married here. It was AMAZING. Our friends and family raved at how amazing the service, food, hotel, and just overall experience was. This is one of the nicest hotels in the WORLD. In fact it was my boss who has traveled the world that told me this was one of the best he has ever been to. So on that faithful day many ears ago I brought my then girlfriend there for a long weekend (to try and impress her of course). Who knew that 4 years later we would be getting married there. I highly recommend this hotel if you are coming to Chicago or if you want to celebrate your big day. Jennifer from the Peninsula will make sure it's an amazing and unforgettable day. - mjk6479 This is truly one of the best hotels in which I have stayed. The service was friendly and unobtrusive. The Magnificent Mile suite has wonderful views and was a very nice size for 3 of us. Every attention to detail was made. All the business supplies, including a personal printer and fax machine was included. Large TVs and various lighting all controlled by IPad-like product. The large soaking tub even had a TV to watch and music could be played in the speakers in the bathroom. Felt safe. We ate breakfast in the hotel lobby. They had the same offerings every day. And we ate at Shanghai Terrace and that was very good. This was such a luxurious stay. We hope to return in December. - jppalooza This is our at least 7th visit to The Peninsula Chicago. I have been so spoiled by each experience that I am always terrified that there is no way it can live up to my expectations. I just spent 5 nights there with my wife and our adult daughter and The Pen again exceeded all of my expectations. This hotel has it all. An unbelievable staff, a phenomenal location, 3 great restaurants, a terrific bar, and a fantastic fitness center/pool. Every time you interact w/a Peninsula staff member, you are greeted with someone who meets your gaze and wishes you a good morning/afternoon/evening. These folks are genuinely vested in your visit and consistently go beyond and above the call to ensure that all of your needs/wants are met. The staff, from the doorman to housekeeping to check in through room service are all professional, warm, unpretentious, and wonderful. On this visit, we had a wonderful experience in the Shanghai Terrace (the dim sum is utterly sublime) and a nightcap at Z Bar. I'm really picky and spoiled about hotels, but this place is in its own league.  From the great beds and pillows and HVAC and the incredible tech of the room (an iPad can control everything in the room) to the size and weight of the towels to the TV/radio in the bathrooms to the fast wi-fi and water that is set out for you each night, this is THE place you want to come home to. I cannot recommend any property, anywhere, with greater enthusiasm than I do the Chicago Peninsula. A special tip of the hat to The Hotel Manager, Vince Reyes, who assisted us on this fantastic visit. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you Chicago Peninsula. - hotelfan Hotel Info * view website * 1 (312) 313-6194 * 108 E Superior St At North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611-2645 5. Ray's Bucktown Bed and Breakfast Nearby restaurants: * The Bristol * Antico * Map Room Nearby attractions: * The Map Room * Senior Citizen Memorial Playlot Park Let’s see how people review this hotel I always try and find a bed and breakfast when I’m traveling. This place had such a laid back atmosphere the breakfast was amazing and the servers/cooks were really nice ladies ;) I’ll probably pick a different room next time since ours was a little small but it was an amazing stay and I’ll come back here when I come to Chicago! - Astro_Demon This is our second visit staying at Ray's B&B in Bucktown.  Ray's is a short walk to our son's place and has officially become our "home away from home" in Chicago.   On this visit we stayed in the WEST ROOM under the kitchen.  It is a small oddly shaped room with the on suite bath down a very narrow hallway... but the layout worked out OK for two adults and two children.  Our girls loved the bunk beds and the queen bed was fine for the adults.  We hardly noticed any noise at all from the kitchen on the first floor.  Everyone slept very well - the West Room was warm and cozy on a few very cold Chicago nights. Once again Ray's breakfast delivered.  This is the first time for the girls and they loved having pancakes and eggs.  The eggs benedict was lovely and the omelets are HUGE. Bottom line... Ray's is great.  Ray's is great for couples and for families. Ray's is eclectic and unique. Go to Ray's!!!   We've tried two different rooms so far and will continue checking out a different room with each stay.  Can't wait for the weather to warm up; we will be back at Ray's in 2022.  I really need to get to see a Cubby Game... been way too long. For those who don't have a relative living nearby, you should definitely consider staying at Ray's B&B as your "base of operations" for  your Chicago visit.  Ray's is convenient to Wriggly Field, Downtown Chicago, and Lincoln Park.  You can walk to the BLUE LINE (O'Hare, Downtown).  There are great restaurants in the area.  A cab to Michigan Ave was only $15.  There is FREE street parking in the neighborhood. - 20chipr If you hate the cookie-cutter experience of the typical hotel, this is the place for you. It’s a funky little B&B that feels like a friend’s house where people drop in for the weekend. Not luxurious but not a dump. Collections of cameras, pottery, prints from local artists, posters, thermos bottles, etc., etc., line walls and fill shelves. The weekend we were there, the guests were mostly people in their 20s, mostly in Chicago to see friends or family. The B&B has breakfast to order (pick omelettes, pancakes from the menu or just order what you like). Very generous servings. It’s located in a nice neighborhood near the Blue Line and, as the brochure says, within a mile and a half of 100 restaurants.  Rooms were clean, staff was great, food was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back. - M9395YFmarkp Hotel Info * view website * 1 (773) 384-3245 * 2144 N Leavitt St, Chicago, IL 60647-3274 6. The Publishing House Bed and Breakfast Nearby restaurants: * Monteverde * The Aviary * Viaggio Nearby attractions: * Paniq Escape Room Chicago * City Winery * wndr museum Let’s see how people review this hotel I was in town for business at a busy convention time.  I was lucky to get the last room available at this great B&B.  Our stay in the Everleigh Room was most enjoyable.  The rooms are large, have spa like bathrooms, and the morning breakfasts are great!  We were even treated to a Happy Hour with the owner one evening.  Highly recommended! - amybE743OW Room was comfortable, breakfast delicious, communication was awesome. We paid the $25/day to park in their reserved spot, made things so much easier for us. Would highly recommend this place, so unique and interesting. - Greg44 We had a wonderful stay at the Publishing House last week! We were in the Dybek room and it was perfect. The room was bigger than we expected and very nicely decorated. The bed was the most comfortable bed that we have ever slept in! The whole vibe of the B&B is cool and sexy. It kind of feels like a hotel, but the common areas and amazing breakfast really level up the experience. We had breakfast twice at the B&B and the options were delicious! Fruit, pastry (the banana cake was to die for!!!), yogurt, and granola, in addition to the specials that you can choose from. Breakfast is served in this great common area and you can socialize as much or as little as you want with the other guests. Very neat! All of the staff that we interacted with were friendly and helpful. You can tell they care about providing great customer service. We were able to get early check in, which was much appreciated! They do not typically staff the front desk, but they are just a phone call or text away if you need anything. We had a small issue with our code not working and Kim helped us right away! The location was perfect. We love to take advantage of the walkability of places we travel to, so this was a great home base for hitting up the tourist spots during the day and heading out to fabulous restaurants (shout out to Monteverde and Aba!!) later on. We highly recommend the Publishing House!!! - kw4403 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (312) 554-5857 * 108 N May St Level 2 & 3, Chicago, IL 60607-2197

For the pet lover, you must know these 8 pet-friendly NYC hotels

1. AKA Central Park Nearby restaurants: * La Grande Boucherie * Loi Estiatorio * The Modern Nearby attractions: * The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) * Carnegie Hall * St. Thomas Church Let’s see how people review this hotel Two friends who went on a ten day trip to New York and spent time in this hotel. We have only warm words to say about the hotel, the staff and the experience it provides to guests. The room is relatively large compared to other hotel rooms, the staff is kind and generous, very helpful. There is a room with free washing machines and dryers, there is a computer corner, a dining room. Most importantly 5 minutes from Central Park, 10 minutes walk from Times Square and one minute from the subway. - _S9023SM Good location,Very helpful staff, overall good experience. Only drawback is we stayed 10 days and were only entitled to one cleaning service. You had to pay 75 dollars for a second service. But will definitely return. - tonyee2022 Everything was great! The place was really nicely decorated, comfy and clean. The AC was strong. The room was nicely decored. The kitchen had enough supplies to cook a basic meal. The building has a gym and self-served laundromat as well. Overall very pleasant experience. I'd recommend it! - Ramicat12 Hotel Info * 42 W 58th St, New York City, NY 10019-2505 2. Residence Inn New York Downtown Manhattan/world Trade Center Area Nearby restaurants: * Pisillo Italian Panini * Kuu Ramen * Manhatta Nearby attractions: * The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum * One World Observatory * Komnata Quest Manhattan Let’s see how people review this hotel We stayed here over the 4th of July and could not be happier with our experience.  We had a Maiden Lane suite and had plenty of room, subway was literally right around the corner.  The best part was the staff, everyone was helpful and friendly and helped make our stay one to remember! - C2373TFadamh Spent a weekend here with family. This hotel feels nothing like your typical suburban Residence Inn. It's made for Manhattan with chic urban styling throughout. Location: Outstanding. It's a block south of Fulton Center with the Fulton Street subway hub and many available subway lines going every which direction. Even with weekend subway disruptions you'll still find a convenient way to get wherever you need. Fulton Center is also connected underground to The Oculus and Brookfield Place with tons of indoor shops and dining options if the weather is bad. If exploring Lower Manhattan by foot, there are so many attractions within a 15min walking radius such as WTC, Wall Street, Battery Park, Pier 17, Brooklyn Bridge, and even the lower end of Chinatown if you walk briskly. I felt safe immediately around the hotel, even at night. Service: Check-in was very friendly. Maid was very attentive, noticed when we exited our rooms for the day and made sure to ask for our room number so she could get started with housekeeping. Room: We requested a higher floor during reservation and got the 16th floor (I believe there are 18 in total?). Three elevators here, all working well, some of the fastest I've seen in Manhattan hotels, never had issues with long wait or overcrowding despite a busy weekend. Room was very quiet with hardly any street noise, very clean with well functioning heat & AC. Loved the full size fridge, and small kitchenette with microwave. Beds are comfortable. The room itself is quite spacious for Manhattan standards too, and the high ceilings are a great touch. Breakfast: There's a typical Marriott free buffet breakfast here but I never woke up in time to get it. Also after 10am they reprogram the coffee machines so even though it's free during breakfast, you have to pay for lobby coffee - never saw this before at a Residence Inn! I have no complaints. I would absolutely stay here again if I had the chance and the price is good. - VTeight7 Great spot for visiting 911 museum and Statue of Liberty. Stayed one night in a Maiden Lane Suite. HUGE room for NYC! Jane at front desk was so nice and friendly.  Breakfast was decent and saved our party of 5 a lot of money on breakfast. Loved the Starbucks coffee.  Enjoyed the Amazon Go store and nearby O’Hara’s pub. - maribethb Hotel Info * view website * 1 (844) 631-0595 * 170 Broadway, New York City, NY 10038-4154 3. Soho Grand Hotel Nearby restaurants: * Piccola Cucina Estiatorio * San Carlo Osteria Piemonte * Piccola Cucina Osteria Nearby attractions: * Lower Manhattan * New York City Fire Museum * GhostBusters Firestation Let’s see how people review this hotel We were pleasantly surprised with this property. We loved the unique surroundings of the building and decor. The room was lovely, bed comfortable and bathroom perfect. The bar scene is hopping and loud but great place to people watch. Loved the area for walking a shopping and the subway stop is right around the corner. Shout out to the doorman and the front desk for friendliness and  courteousness, - triptixmom When we arrived at the front door of the Soho Grand Hotel, we were greeted by the same friendly face that has welcomed us many times before. I turned to David and said, “it feels like home here.” We checked in and were offered a complimentary glass of bubbly. We settled into an oversized comfy sofa in the lounge/lobby and enjoyed the sights…It was fashion week. So, there was a lot of great people-watching. We asked if it was possible to get an upgrade (I always ask), and were given a King Superior room with a beautiful view. The room and bathroom were immaculate The view was beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. We can't wait to go back. - TheLatestDish Spent 4 fabulous days at Soho Grand Hotel. From the moment I entered I was  happily greeted by the bellman. The front desk clerks were warm & welcoming. Helpful at sharing what types of entertainment options the hotel had that evening on my arrival. This so delightful as if one doesn't want to go out after a day of traveling, you have entertain right @ the Hotel. My room was very well designed, the bed was beyond comfortable. Perfect after a long day of traveling. The room was impeccably clean . Rooms are extremely quiet. This hotel has the most friendly staff. Everyone is so very kind. - JulesBrie Hotel Info * 310 West Broadway, New York City, NY 10013-2225 4.

The staff was most welcoming and kind! Spacious and beautiful rooms and amenities. The hotel is in a great location. We really enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to our next visit. - shlomohbendavid Lovely, very clean , high end hotel with great comfortable beds and thick towels. Decor is Modern Art Deco style. Staff are very professional. Food and Beverage at the restaurant is right on point. Staff was very accomdating to customized any food and rink orders. - RTVRJL From arrival to departure, an amazing experience. The service was exemplary, the room was beautiful, the bed super comfortable. The food (both room service and in the restaurant) was great. The salon/spa was similarly fantastic.

Audrey's Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast Nearby restaurants: * Cafe Mio * Hoot Owl Restaurant * Lombardi's Italian Restaurant Nearby attractions: * DM Weil Gallery * Tuthilltown Spirits Distillery * Wright's Farm and Fruit Stand Let’s see how people review this hotel Last weekend I attended my nephew's wedding at Audrey's Farmhouse and it was truly one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever attended (and I've been to a lot of weddings in my day). The setting was absolutely gorgeous, the accommodations were wonderful - I was in a spacious king suite - and the Greenhouse was beautiful and spacious. Genevieve, Rachel and the rest of the Audrey's Farmhouse staff was fantastic - attentive, accommodating and they really went above and beyond the call of duty. The food was so delicious too and so beautifully presented. I had a hard time leaving the property on Sunday and wanted to stay a few more days. The entire weekend was magical. If you're looking for the perfect place to host your wedding, I highly recommend visiting Audrey's Farmhouse. You won't be disappointed. - AdventureTraveler60 We were fortunate enough to win a weekend getaway at Audreys through a local charity auction.  We stayed there last weekend and were pleasantly surprised by our stylish room (Greenhouse #9, a junior king suite), the food, and the wonderful staff.  We brought both a dog and a baby, and the room was plenty large for both (they didn't have cribs, so we brought a pack 'n play for the baby).  The decor was farmhouse chic with a stylish black ceiling and minimalist style. Although there are not normally refrigerators in the rooms, they were able to bring us one on request so that we could store bottles for the baby.  They also made us the most amazing cake for our anniversary, and the dinner on Saturday was delicious and huge (and a steal!).  In the evenings, they have s'mores kits to make by the firepit, and the manager stopped by to offer us some free drinks that were leftover from the dinner.  The other two couples around the firepit were regulars and told us we were lucky to get a reservation for a summer weekend, as they're typically all booked for weddings during non-pandemic times.   They are SUPER dog-friendly and don't have the kind of fees/restrictions that seem so common elsewhere.  One couple had a gorgeous Great Dane with them, so they definitely take all sizes! We also had a great time visiting the Mohonk preserve and the town of New Paltz. Overall, it was a lovely peaceful weekend getaway. - kachesle1 A group of us (6) stayed a week at the Farmhouse and it was a perfect getaway. The house affords plenty of (well-designed) space for a group as well as WiFi that was a true workhorse. Many days at least 5 of us were working at the same time without any issues. Kitchen had a good amount of space for preparing meals and the remaining rooms provided enough space to hang out together or alone. We had two catered dinners and one brunch. The food was plentiful and amazing. Highly recommend. - tenten9 Hotel Info * 2188 Bruynswick Rd, Wallkill, NY 12589-3256 6. Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia Nearby restaurants: * Gran Caffe L'Aquila * Lacroix at The Rittenhouse * Butcher and Singer Nearby attractions: * Escape the Room Philly * One Liberty Observation Deck * Rittenhouse Square Let’s see how people review this hotel I stay here so often most recently 9.17.22 and this woman is ALWAYS working. She is always holding it down. Super professional and calm, always present in the lobby, or handling something. I know when I arrive and see her, my stay will be okay and the hotel is at its best. Keep up the amazing work Tashna! - Checkingintoday Hotel- Kimpton Hotel Palomar PHL  Date- 3july2020 until 6july2020 (3 nights) Overall: 5/5. Excellent. This was our second experience at this property, and it went very well. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, the staff was friendly and engaging, housekeeping was effective, and adequate meal options were available. The location is unbeatable for the city center. Rewards Club Recognition- 5/5. Excellent. We were verbally thanked for our loyalty, and our room was upgraded. 600 welcome bonus points and a $10 ‘Raid-the-Bar’ Food & Beverage Credit were both provided. A late checkout was proactively offered for our tier of loyalty, and a welcome amenity of 2 large waters, a milk chocolate bar, and a small bag of pretzel bites and candy were all offered. We felt like valued guests at this property.   Staff- 5/5. Excellent. We were checked into the property by Ashley, and she was a true delight. She was efficient, yet thorough, as she covered the hotel amenities such as the social/wine hour, the morning coffee service, the housekeeping modifications, and the restaurant. In addition, Emily was informative and fun to interact with.  We would come back to the property just to visit with these two again! Property Appearance & Maintenance- 4/5. Very good.  Opportunities: Elevators, sinks, touch up paint.  Exterior- 5/5. The exterior was crisp and clean, even though there was high foot traffic by guests and passersby alike. The hotel was appropriately branded, and the valet station and personnel were visible and eager to help guests.  Interior- 3/5. The hotel is in relatively good shape but having only two of four elevators that work in a hotel this size is a huge drawback when so many guests are not yet ready to share small elevators.  Increasingly impatient guests queued up in long lines in the lobby and on the floors and wait times could be excessive during busy times (morning, checkout time, check-in time, etc.). The lobby is stylish and clean, and the hallway walls and carpet were in good repair. Décor was eye catching. All corridor lighting was functional. Some scuffs were present on the baseboards, both in the hallways (on the bottom of the doors to the rooms, especially) and in the rooms, which could be easily remedied. Our sink also did not drain very effectively. The window covering for the shower room does not close; minor repairs may be needed to the roman shade. Accommodations- 5/5. Excellent. We were assigned a “Cityview Spa 1 King Bed” room. The room was exactly as advertised. It contained the usual furnishings (bed, table, chair, sofa, some additional seating, a tv, a minifridge, etc.), and everything was in good repair. The carpet was clean and the bathroom spacious. The bathroom had a jacuzzi tub, but minor stains detract from its appeal. From our previous experiences at this property, we can say that the smaller rooms do not offer such spacious bathrooms. Overall, the room was very pleasing and worth paying slightly more than one would for a smaller room. Housekeeping- 4/5. Very good. The room was well prepared. The bedding was clean, as were the carpets. All tabletops and bathroom surfaces showed evidence of a thorough cleaning. The only area worth further attention is the grout in the bathroom; far too much of it is molding. A high intensity cleaner or bleach could resolve this without substantive effort; worse sections may need the attention of maintenance/engineering. Pool/Gym- 4/5.  Very good. The fitness center has re-opened, and an ice machine is again online for guest use. There is no pool at this property. Breakfast/Meal Options- 5/5. Excellent. The restaurant, Square 1684, is open and serving dinner Tuesday through Saturday and brunch on Saturday and Sunday. The menu is reasonably sized and offers a variety of options. We tried a breakfast sandwich and a pork dish, the Philly Special; both exceeded expectations. In addition, the hotel has set up a ‘bodega’ which contains all the usual minibar items. The signature evening social/wine hour proceeds per usual in the lobby, as does the morning coffee service. We felt there were plenty of options for us in the hotel. Of course, there were lots and lots of restaurants nearby. Laundry- not evaluated. No laundry bag or pricing sheet was present in the closet. Computer/Printer/WiFi- 5/5. Excellent. Connecting to WiFi was simple, and streaming was smooth. There are no computers, faxes, or printers available for use, but the front desk staff will happily offer to help with select office services. Other- First, the social password was good for either an extended checkout (1:30pm), a bottle of wine, an alcoholic lemonade, or a variety of other options. We chose a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. This was very nice. Second, the doors to the rooms in this hotel do slam, and when the hotel is busy, it can be a nonstop banging in the hallways, day and night; to reduce the disturbance and prevent long term damage to the door latches and frames, an anti-slam product should be considered. - jcfox1978 Wonderful experience at your 6 star hotel.Ast. GM Tashna Seaton Small wae over the top with her service. My daughter & 5 of her friends had the very best time of their lives. Because of your hotel, the trip was special. Looking forward to booking again next year. Can't wait. Kudos to all. Hoping Carol, GM compliments all. Including Greg in housekeeping. Thank you, again.

The 6 Best Guest Houses in Hamburg, Germany

1. Grand Elysee Hotel Hamburg Nearby restaurants: * Theo's * Brodersen Restaurant Hamburger Kuche * Brasserie Flum Nearby attractions: * Turmbar * Logo * Sands Bar Let’s see how people review this hotel The hotel was excellent with very clean and well proportioned bedrooms and excellent bathroom facilities. The conference element was catered for very well with a good layout and food and beverages available constantly to an exceptionally high standard. - anthonythresh Our second stay at The Grand Elysee and we are already made to feel like friends/family. Thank you Herr Bethke for the lovely personal note and the wonderful room allocation which assured a peaceful stay. I have to mention Sadif on the Reservations Team who was so helpful and friendly when our flights were cancelled last minute and Mohammed on the front desk who made a great impression on my elderly parents with his patience and happy nature. Breakfast was , as ever, terrific and although a few restaurant areas were temporarily closed ,we were looked after so well in the Boulevard. Having now been to Hamburg several times we feel like we have done much of the tourist stuff, but we have a reason to return again for many years to come...The Grand Elysee and its staff. Until next time... - Downroute9 This hotel is an excellent old-style hotel, quite removed from time itself. The staff is excellent and the hotel is immaculately clean and all surfaces in our room seemed entirely un-worn. Food and drink was top-class, especially the sashimi. As non-German tourists, we felt quite unique and at times the other guests showed a level of interest in us that was over the top.  - anders377t Hotel Info * Rothenbaumchaussee 10, 20148 Hamburg Germany 2.

Polite, professional and on point. Superb. The location is next to 3 different forms of public transport, you do not need a car in Hamburg, use the S-Bahn and U-bahn.  - tigerfeet748 Central, clean and specially very friendly staff.

The hotel is clean and well maintained, which is very important to me personally. Great breakfast buffet! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Nothing to complain about here...... I look forward to coming back to this hotel. Thank you very much for a great time. - ReneStansstad As the Mercure hotel I booked at was closed (without any prior notification!!!), we were moved here and I was actually relieved as the Movenpick is a different ballgame than the Mercure. The staff both at check-in and check-out was GREAT. I can't say it enough. The hotel is in an old water tower which makes it an interesting landmark. There is parking inside and outside. I would stay here again and again. Congratulations to the staff for doing such a remarkable job.

6 Unique Hotels in Honolulu, Hawaii

1. Halekulani Hotel Nearby restaurants: * Honolulu Cookie Company * Poke Bar * Island Vintage Shave Ice Nearby attractions: * Breakout Waikiki Escape Rooms * US Army Museum of Hawaii * Fort DeRussy Beach Park Let’s see how people review this hotel I asked for a turn down service, and it was done very fast and politely. The toilet was equipped with an automatic washing function. This is very unusual in the US, so I was very suppurised. I feel at home at Halekulane at anytime. - fujiyamamasao The hotel is a tranquil beauty with unmatched service. One of our favorite hotels and we have been staying for the last 30 years. Always beautiful and great service. The pool area is relaxing with beautiful views of Diamondhead and the pool temperature perfect. Rooms perfectly appointed and great service throughout the hotel. - Departure618266 Talk about being made to feel like royalty!  The word Halekulani translates to "House Befitting Heaven" and that is accurate as you can get.  We have returned here many times since the 1980's but not in the past 3 years because of Covid.  During that time, the hotel redid all the guest rooms, excellently refreshing everything from the decor to adding Nespresso machines in an individual coffee bar, the rooms are just wonderfully updated and lighter, with breathtaking views.  The staff continues to be the best in any hotel we have been in, seeing to your every need, pampering you at every turn.  I cannot compliment this hotel enough.  It certainly lives up to it's translated name.  Mahalo! - TWAjunkie Hotel Info * view website * 1 (808) 204-4231 * 2199 Kālia Rd, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96815-1988 2.

The most friendliest staff I have ever experienced. Local presence at its finest!!  The food is off the chart, especially the fried ahi musubi!  Hoku’s definitely set the bar with their unique 8 course dinner. - Miliasone Great location, wonderful amenities and dolphins too! Our family of four enjoyed the beach, pool and restaurants. The employees were delightful and helpful. Perfect distance to the city without being in the city and an easy drive to Pearl Harbor. Highly recommend - gailo723 This is our second trip to the Kahala and we could not recommend this resort more.  The valets, concierge, front desk, servers. bartenders and housekeeping all go above and beyond to make your stay wonderful.  We actually made it a point this time that we wanted to spend more time at the resort and the wonderful beach.  We miss it so much now that we are back.  Would not stay anywhere else on Oahu and can't wait to come back! - UTJMT Hotel Info * view website * 1 (844) 865-7069 * 5000 Kahala Ave, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96816-5411 3.

I loved the service and resort, with a true Kona, Hawaii feel. The ocean/beach area was so beautiful and easy to get in and out of the water. I loved all of the dining options on property, and how close the Kings Shops were with a quick drive down the road. The valet service was the fastest we've ever experienced at any 5 star resort. We were truly impressed with the housekeeping service, and grounds of the resort. I would recommend a stay for anyone wanting to relax and or adventure during a stay in Kona. - emilygJ3420KR Absolutely love Mauna Lani. It's wonderful for adults and kids alike. It's beautiful, impeccably clean and well designed, amazing service and great food all around. It's the kind of resort that feels right to us. We don't generally like the feeling of resorts that are too removed from from the place or environment they're in, like they're closed off. The Mauna Lani really feels like Hawaii, it incorporates the natural beauty of its location on the grounds. I can't recommend the Mauna Lani enough. It's a world class resort. I wish I didn't live so far away from it.  - michellek957 The best resort we've ever stayed at.  My wife and I have never had better service.  It was our 18th anniversary and every staff member we interacted with knew it.  The hotel provided champagne and chocolate covered strawberries.  Our room was made up while we were out (almost like magic). - M3969NPsteved Hotel Info * view website * 1 (833) 917-3759 * 68-1400 Mauna Lani Dr, Puako, Island of Hawaii, HI 96743 4. Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa Nearby restaurants: * Kauai Juice Co * Anake's Juice Bar * Waikomo Shave Ice Nearby attractions: * Makawehi Lithified Cliffs * Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail * Poipu Beach Park Let’s see how people review this hotel We loved our stay at the Grand Hyatt.  Our room was comfortable, clean and seemed new.  there is so much to do on Kauai  and we did a lot of what the island had to offer. But the hotel was so nice and its pool so inviting that we also spent several days just lounging around the pool.  The food was excellent, the staff very, very friendly and there is a well equipped gym for the exercise fiend with 4 Peloton bikes among a large complement of equipment.  I would go back tomorrow if asked. - birn4952 We recently stayed at the Grand Hyatt for 6 days and 5 nights on our trip to Kauai and it was one of the nicer experiences we had ever had at a hotel.  First off, we typically only use the hotel during our vacation as a place to rest but this was truly a resort in which I felt we should have stayed on the property more and simply relaxed. First, a quick summary of the property:   It is HUGE.  We had access to the Grand Club, which we used frequently but our room was on the other side of the resort.  I feel we got our 10k steps in just by going to the club a couple times a day!   Valet was speedy and efficient.  Check in was very pleasant and we actually arrived earlier than standard check in (4PM).  We asked for both an upgrade and/or early check in.  Unfortunately the hotel was booked so no upgrade and our room wasn't quite ready but they gave us a key to access the Grand Club as well as four drink vouchers to use around the pool..  Of course, we had 2 boys, so the wife and I took their drink tickets and then bought their drinks in cash separately! Once we got to our room, even though it was a standard room, it actually was quite spacious with a large bathroom and a balcony.  In addition, once nice tough that I don't see often enough, especially with hotels with a nice pool or beach access - a clothes line that spanned the space above the tub so we could hang out suits to dry. Pool/beach wise, there are so many pools and access to the beach that I never felt it was too crowded.    The main pool areas would be the saltwater lagoon, which is pretty large and where our boys spend the majority of there time.  There's a main pool with 2 jacuzzis easily accessible.  There is a lazy river, which was VERY lazy in the sense that I felt like it barely moved.  A water slide, where people of all ages enjoyed it immensely.  Protip - it closes at 6PM but basically between 5-6pm there is no wait.  And also access to Shipwreck Beach which has a pretty strong rip tide so I would say you should be careful but it was fun for the boys to play on the beach and have the waves splash them.   All the pools were also services by an excellent wait staff for both food and drinks. There are a few options to eat and drink on property and initially I didn't think we took advantage but in writing out trip review, it turns out that we pretty much tried everywhere once. At Stevenson's we were told there were known for their Martini's so the wife ordered one. I opted for a flight of whiskey. She thought the martini was decent but not spectacular. For my flight, they were out of one of the three so they gave me extra of the other two. The vibe itself was great, not too loud, and if you were fortunate, I felt like a seat on the outdoor balcony/patio would have been great. We didn't order any food but the menu certainly looked appetizing. For Tidepool, we ended up heading over and planned to order drinks at the bar and grab an open seat if one became available. It wasn't packed but there weren't any seats initially but after getting our drinks, a couple seats at the bar opened up. We then ordered another round plus a scallop appetizer, which was very tasty. I would like to add that several folks we had talked to mentioned Tidepool to eat at (both from the helicopter tour and tubing) even though they didn't know where we are staying. As mentioned, we also ate at Seaview Terrace for dinner as a family one night and to be honest, for a fancy hotel, the food was surprisingly reasonably priced and very tasty (this is part of my comment about I thought the food was comparable to Beach House but maybe a third of the cost? Granted, you don't get the selection of fresh fish but I'm talking just about how we enjoyed our food). My wife ordered the lobster roll and she really enjoyed it. And this in addition to live music, which I believe is every evening. A very nice and relaxing way to wind the day down. We did order food when we were at the pool and in addition to the standard pool type food (chicken tenders, hot dogs, etc), they also had a few choices that had the hawaiian flair. We tried both a poke bowl and the kalua nachos and both were very good. Note that we ordered food through one of the waitstaff as we reserved a bungalow for the day we spent at the pool and the service was great. I would like to mention that when we were at the pool and not at the bungalow, we received equally great service for the team in taking our orders. The day we left, because it was a noon flight and 5 hours, I was afraid the boys would get hungry so I did take them to the breakfast buffet at Ilima Terrace. I found the pricing to be very interesting as it was $41 for adults but the cost for the kids was $1/per year which meant $8 and $10 for us. I found that was incredibly flexible because buffets are typically wasted on kids. There was a huge omelet station which I found interesting as typically at buffets, there's always a huge line but when we went, I was always the first or second one in line. The buffet had a decent variety and also some interesting fresh juice combinations. There is also a Luau on site which we did not partake in that occurs I believe on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Pro-tip, it seems you can basically watch the show for free from the edge of the grass. I don't think most people would stay for the whole thing but I saw plenty of families watch for 5 or so minutes and move on. Great way to advertise! I mentioned the Grand Club and it was a very solid option, particularly for families in which the breakfast was more than acceptable and a great way to start off the day.  They had afternoon snack, then a light dinner as well, followed by a dessert hour.  The menu has one main item that changes daily so it does mix it up a bit.  The staff was very friendly and must have consistently worked there because I saw a few times where they greeted guests from previous visits.  Also, the a/c was on and a great place to cool down, although in the morning/evening, the outdoor seating was quite pleasant. All in all, would we go back?   I feel like it is best summarized by the discussion my wife and I had about Kauai in general.   Did we have a good time and would we go back to Kauai?   And the answer is yes, it was fun and yes we would go back.  However, it wasn't so exciting that we wouldn't mind visiting other places before making our way back.  And the fact that we were at a VERY nice hotel had a big impact and would be a factor on if we came back or not.

Staff, food, setting, incredible! Beautiful beach, pools. The food is very good. I highly recommend this resort. Can’t wait to go back.  I think this is the best place to stay on the island.  - robertjfloe Hotel Info * view website * 1 (808) 201-4504 * 1571 Poipu Rd, Poipu, Koloa, Kauai, HI 96756-9402 5. Trump International Hotel Waikiki Nearby restaurants: * Honolulu Cookie Company * Poke Bar * Island Vintage Shave Ice Nearby attractions: * Breakout Waikiki Escape Rooms * US Army Museum of Hawaii * Fort DeRussy Beach Park Let’s see how people review this hotel We traveled to Honolulu for our son’s wedding and stayed 8 nights at Trump Waikiki. Everything was outstanding! Beautiful rooms, so many amenities, perfect location for getting to the beach, restaurants and sights! It is even pet friendly as we learned while caring for our son’s dog! Ideal location for beach walking and views from our balcony were incredible. What really sets this hotel apart from the others are the people. The staff is so friendly, helpful, professional and responsive to whatever you might need during your stay! Cannot recommend highly enough! - M3998NNmichelef Q: Where can you find a room that will sleep 5 people, in a convenient part of Waikiki, is rated #1 on Tripadvisor for the best hotel in Waikiki, with 5-star service, ocean view w/ dual balconies and a separate room for the in-laws? How about free valet parking, no resort fees, early 12 PM check in and late 6 PM check out for Kama'aina (locals)? A: You're looking at it! It was difficult to fit all of these criteria into our budget and what we were looking for. It was either book two separate rooms and pay more, or stay here. Although the Trump line is not associated with budget, compared to booking separate rooms WITHOUT all of the perks above, it would have come out way more expensive. This was actually a deal, believe it or not. DETAILS: POOL: You're wondering why I'm writing about the pool first; it's because it seems to be one of the complaints of guests calling it small, and I have no idea why this is a problem. It is the most luxurious pool I've ever soaked in, and small and classy is better than big and brassy! Looking out over the infinity edge, I can see two other hotel's pools and they are a LOT larger but filled with rowdy drunk people and inflatables. Would you rather have a classy pool, or a larger pool in a less fancy setting? I soaked in the pool in the day, and at night (simply magical)! If you get cold, there's a separate jacuzzi. There's poolside cocktail and food service but I didn't use those. Next time I stay here, I'll try to time it with the full moon so I can soak under the moonbeams. ROOM: Mind blown! We had a suite with one full bedroom, a den and living room, both with pull-out beds, 1120 sq ft, ocean view w/ 2 balconies, 2 full bathrooms, a fully-stocked kitchen (dishes, high-end bar glasses, utensils, knives, 12 cup coffee maker, full sized rice cooker!, wine chiller, pots/pans), microwave, fridge, dishwasher, ovens (Subzero, Wolf, Bosch, Miele). The bathrooms had really nice toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, bar soap, bath gel, bath salts, loofah, cotton swabs, make up pads, hair tie and shower cap, nail files). The room decor all tastefully done in creams, dark and light wood tones, very clean as well. The trashcans were even made of leather! Impressive! The hotel gave you complimentary hotel slippers you could walk around in, as well as Eco water bottles; heavy bath robes for each guest, tons of fluffy clean towels and twice daily housekeeping. Very quiet, we didn't hear a thing but we also got a room on the side of the elevators separated from other rooms. Four elevators, the fastest elevators we've ever been in...totally insane! SERVICE: Minds blown again!! This is 5-star service on steroids. I have never heard, in my life of frequenting hotels all across the globe, someone actually SMILING over the phone!! Keiko and Ryuko cheerfully greeted me daily when I called to ask for bottled water (complimentary) or had questions. Housekeeping personnel actually smiling and greeting us warmly was also surprising. Front desk check in and check out, all wonderful! Valet, also great! Twice daily housekeeping, amazing!! FOOD: Breakfast at the In-Yo Cafe was not very impressive. It was pricey so the next day we walked over to Duke's Waikiki for buffet breakfast (read my reviews for both). Eggs and Things around the corner but too many people. Dinner at BLT Steakhouse burned a hole into our 401K but my husband said it was the best steak ever (see my review on this one as well). The in-room dining menu seemed impressive, but we didn't use it. You can also walk about 2 short blocks to ABC Stores to get cheap wine and food, and Dole Whip! Giovanni Pastrami is also in the short walk away for take-out food and pizza (we loved the pizza). CONVENIENT: ABC Stores, restaurants, boutique shops, Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, International Marketplace all within walking distance. The beach is right across the street, as is the Army Museum, if you're into history. Drop into Lewer's Lounge at the Halekulani for cocktails/piano music in the evening, but dress nice for that. If you want to drive over to Ala Moana Shopping Center for all-day shopping, it's about a 5 minute drive away. OTHER: if you're a bird watcher, you're in for a treat if you have a room with the ocean view balcony. Swarms of white tern and Indian Ringneck Parakeets fly in flocks over the trees below and mingle with the pigeons and the lone chicken pecking for food in the grass by the Army Museum. You can bring your dog with you for $50 more a night, now how many hotels let you do that? Need a crib for your kid? No problem! If walking to other restaurants, I suggest walking along the beach-side and avoid walking around the hotel on the Ewa (west) side; it wasn't as nice and there was a creepy man checking us out. PRICE: Your mileage may vary. We locked in at $666 a night (not joking) for local Kama'aina rate and now the rate is $987 for the same room.   RETURN FACTOR: 120% YES. - LehuaMonsoon I have been staying multiple hotels in Waikiki(primarily Royal Hawaiian). Now I have a newborn and I suddenly realize how it restricts my selection now. The room we stayed is Premium one-bedroom plus Den. The layout really varies but the amendities are the same. The room can easy accomodate 6 adults with the 1 queenbed + 2 sofabeds The REASONS of choosing Trump Waikiki over the others - Top tier services provided and Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Only Ritz and Trump are in this category. Below the resorts but while above all other hotels. - Prepared and experienced in helping family with kids.      a.UPPAbaby Minu stroller is provided by the hotel for daily use. I wish I knew it earlier so I didn't need to carry mine.      b.A big quality crib provided in room.      c.A kids friendly swimming pool. Slim and shallow. No alcohol served by the pool.      d.Hotel feels safe and secured by access control. We realized we left something in the swiming pool two days ago and staff done a great job in storage them for someone to claim. - The washer and dryer in unit are bosch 800 series. Pretty clean and new. And we use them everyday. - Our flight departed at 9:30PM. They kindly offered a late checkout after 7pm. - Humidity indoor is well controlled. - When talking about the full kitchen, they really mean it. You can find Subzero fridge, subzero wine celler, rice cooker, induction stove, double oven, dishwasher, blender.etc almost everything you need. Based on the great experience I had this time, I would probably only stay with Trump when visiting Waikiki for family trip. - swingtiger Hotel Info * view website * 1 (808) 468-7061 * 223 Saratoga Road, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96815-1942 6. Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea Nearby restaurants: * Lobby Lounge at Four Seasons Resort Maui * Ferraro's Bar e Ristorante * DUO Steak & Seafood Nearby attractions: * Polo Beach * Fishpipe Hawaii * Grand Wailea Luau Let’s see how people review this hotel We stayed 5 nights and had a great time. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had no issues getting chairs at the pool. The beach has limited space so getting chairs there can be a little harder. The breakfast was very good with a large buffet or you can order from the menu. The French toast with Hawaiian bread was particularly good. The room was quiet and very comfortable. - swiftmi The Four Seasons, Wailea is a gorgeous and magical property. Our family of 8 just spent four nights here after spending three nights at the Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu. Our intention was to spend a fifth night at the resort but one of our three rooms had a crying baby next door. Unfortunately, the poor baby kept us up all night, every night, and woke us up early every morning. The hotel staff checked in on us daily via text, but was unable to change our room as there were no other rooms available with two beds. Pools and outdoor areas are truly spectacular, like many other guests, we had issues getting chairs at the adult pool. Lots of options with shade but we were told that the chairs with shade were $100 per pair  (should have gotten them because my husband now has a terrible sun burn). Our kids and teens LOVE the kids club and game room and quickly made friends with other guests staying at the resort. Gym is beautiful and we didn’t use it but hope to on our next trip. The guys played golf and loved the experience. We took a surf lessons but it was not a good experience as the beach area was crowded and the waves were not great (even for beginners) so don’t expect to be able to surf in this area during the summer. Little things could have gone a long way at The Four Seasons, Wailea. We were not greeted as we arrived to the hotel. We weren’t given the traditional welcome (with Hawaiian Leis, etc). Amanda at the front desk was sweet but we felt a bit on edge after checking in, as she just pointed us in the direction of the elevators. We had to turn back and ask for a map and for some more information about the hotel (as it was our first time here). The rooms were beautiful, spacious, and bright with nice balconies.  We definitely would have appreciated stocked minibars (instead of having to run out and buy snacks and drinks for everyone to have on hand). Rooms were missing cloth shoe bags and laundry bags (we were sent plastic ones). The hotel is LARGE and our three rooms were in different parts of the hotel. Expect to do a lot of walking and ask for rooms near the south tower (it’ll save you lots of time).   Our meals at the restaurants at the resort were good and breakfast was great although Spago absolutely missed the mark on many things at our dinner there  (albeit the server at Spago was phenomenal and truly tried to help). All in all, the property is really amazing and we look forward to returning soon. - SegalFamily This was our 6th  year back to Maui and our second year staying at The Four Seasons Wailea. From The moment we arrived, the team remembered us and greeted us by name - car attendants, beach and pool attendants- it was really awesome that they remembered us! Everything about this fabulous hotel is why we come back, and will be booking our rooms again for August, 2023. Service here is impeccable-  we have been to many hotels in Wailea and no other hotel comes close. We have found our annual  summer vacation home and cannot wait to see our Four Seasons ‘Ohana’ next summer. A hui hao!

Rutland Terrace B&B Nearby restaurants: * Orbis Stamford * The Slanted Door * Paten & Co Nearby attractions: * All Saints Church * The Yard * Barn Hill Let’s see how people review this hotel This is the second time that I have stayed at 10 Rutland Terrace. Never did I think that it could eclipse the first, yet lo and behold it did surpass it and I realised every reason why I returned. From the offset one feels welcome here and after a long journey its all you could wish for. In the morning theres a feast of a breakfast laid out and every part of a full English is ready to go. Having been here recently I had seen Stamford in the sun before and Lucy was very helpful to suggest new outings and places to see in the area, I would highly recommend Burghley House and the surrounding bucolic gardens and landscape. It really is classic British countryside. I couldn't recommend a place to stay more. - freddiesymington I LOVE staying here, wonderful location, impeccably presented and Lucy couldn’t have worked harder to make us feel more welcome. Lucy recommended we went to the Toby Norris which was spot on as usual! Thank you again and we can’t wait for our next visit. X  - jamesrobotham I have stayed here a few times now and really think it is so very convenient to all Stamford amenities The breakfast was delicious and I then walked into Stamford for a walk around the shops and through the meadows Altogether another perfect stay I hope to be back again next year - R7306CDpatb Hotel Info * 10 Rutland Terrace, Stamford PE9 2QD England 2.

They speak English, French and German so there is no need to worry if you don't want to practise your French.  - PaulD1812 The hotel is owner by a couple who are passionate to ensure your stay is perfect, endeavouring to cater for any requirements or request. Rooms are comfortable and clean, food choices and quality excellent. The location is peaceful and convenient for exploring the stunning area and attractions. Our stay was enjoyable and we would return if travelling in this area again. - 800alank Our second two night stay to this wonderful hotel - Ingrid and Tim make you feel so welcome and ensure your stay is a joy. Family room is so comfortable and pre dinner local G&Ts are a great start to a four course dinner cooked by Tim - regional and very seasonal - most of all delicious. Breakfast is home produced and really good. Lots to see in the region - with plenty of recommendations by the hosts.

The location is ideal for anyone liking mountain biking with red, blue and green routes and walking in Cannock Chase just across the road.  The set up was similar to what we had stayed near before in Sherwood Forest.  We were able to keep our bikes in the garage which was also ideal.  We spent most of the week biking, walking or enjoying the cottage and garden but there was also plenty to do in the area with pubs, takeaways, deer on the caravan park, Lichfield and an outlet centre nearby.  We will be returning next year. - 765stevel Just returned from a wonderful few days staying in Doe View Lodge and can highly recommend. Right from the very start we were given a warm welcome from the owners. They were very friendly and helpful.  The lodge was so spacious, clean and well equipped and had the most marvellous views across the forest and the deers came right up to the lodge where we could even hand feed them with food which can be purchased cheaply from the site.  There was a lovely veranda with chairs to sit and relax.  There are shops quite near and plenty of pubs to get a meal.  Would love to return one day.  - Disneyland14 Hotel Info * Stafford Brook Road, Rugeley WS15 2TX England 4. Holly Bank House Nearby restaurants: * Burnt Savannah * The Littleton * Panka Walla Nearby attractions: * Clockwork Escapes * Walsall Leather Museum * Moseley Old Hall Let’s see how people review this hotel I had a colleague from Germany come to work with me in Birmingham.  He decided that he wanted to stay here, personally i thought Birmingham city centre would be better - how wrong was i! The rooms were good, the food was excellent and it had a really good personal touch.  The main rooms were laced with history, with traditional coal fires throughout. I think if they did weddings here it would be on many peoples lists - 379andip Lovely place to stay we had our 2 large dogs with us room was very spacy, large grounds to run them in the staff were lovely nothing was to much trouble the food was excellent. They even offered to set up a table for breakfast in bar area so we could have dogs with us but they were so tired from there run in grounds they slepted while we enjoyed a hearty breakfast. - jasmin281063 I've stayed in quite a few hotels recently on my travels ranging from those that struggled to get 3 stars from me up to those that it was easy to award 5 stars to. Last week, I stayed in the Paris Concorde Opera with a €550-a-night tariff and can't quite remember the layout of the room. Three weeks ago I stayed in the M Hotel in Singapore and can't quite forget how annoyed I was that while I had a desk like a NASA control room to work at, breakfast didn't arrive on time and really messed up the start of my day in a way I didn't need. And now I've stayed in a £50 a night B&B outside of Wolverhampton that beats all of those. Here's why. Holly Bank House was a gamble. I'd searched TripAdvisor for alternative hotels in Wolverhampton because (to be frank) I knew I was going to be working very hard during the day and somehow, the Premier Inn just wasn't an environment to recharge my batteries in. I decided to sort by highest rating and Holly Bank House popped up at #2. I read the 14 reviews (13 5* and 1 4*) and sensed they were all genuine. What I picked up was that this place had exceeded the expectation of the people who'd chosen to stay there. 6* quality #1. I liked that and called to book. First impressions were great. It's June so the garden greenery was in full bloom. The house sits surrounded by carefully tended gardens and feels secluded and private. We were met by Sergio who made us welcome with a genuine and friendly hospitality. 6* quality #2. He gave a us a quick tour of the house and left us with the impression that we were to treat it like being at home. 6* quality #3 (the Chateauform 'brand' of hotels in France does this wonderfully). I chose room 2 and my first impression was 'quaint'. It was very green and I wasn't initially sure that I liked it but I realised later that this was because it was just so very different to modern chain hotels (no matter what the star rating they have). It was well equipped with flat TV, coffee making, a big springy bed and a shower / toilet room and came with a nice view of the peaceful lawn and garden below. Nothing was too much trouble for Sergio and the owner's daughter (I didn't find out her name): taxis booked, breakfast cooked on request and - on my third day - some laundry done. I hadn't had this good a service in any of my recent 5* hotels and better yet, it was done with a genuine desire to please. 6* quality #4. The breakfast room is a delight - a long, bright and airy conservatory full of plants with a view to the riot of green outside. Beautifully set out, clean and a pleasure to sit in. The fried breakfast itself was in a class of its own. I have to be honest, I'm a picky fried breakfast eater and in most UK hotels I can't bear the low-grade produce, preparation and presentation that goes into their fried breakfasts. This, by contrast really was a labour of love - made with one purpose, to please - 6* quality #5. There's only one criticism I have about Holly Bank House and I'll declare it now: the breakfast is actually too large. It would benefit from being 30% smaller for two reasons: 1) so the guest doesn't end up feeling guilty about leaving so much and 2) it would leave room to sample some of the other lovely fruits and cereals on offer. You could say that it was almost a victim of its own success - but it's a luxury problem for the proprietors to have :) I stayed 3 days and failed to work out the upstairs-then-downstairs route to breakfast which was a source of amusement but was no problem as we were welcomed through the kitchen to the breakfast room anyway. This house is full of charm, old books, paintings, suits of armour and other lovely things. I'd like to stay a week and spend the weekend just pottering and reading books. As others have mentioned, 3/4 of a mile up the road is the Mitre Pub which serves a surprisingly good steak but which feels positively bare and a bit unwelcoming after Holly Bank House. Check out the pictures I took; they'll convey a sense of the place better than my words can. To find something as good as Holly Bank House is wonderful but to find it for a tenth (yes a TENTH) of the price I paid for something less memorable in Paris last week is the reason why I've given it 6 stars. - tmukau Hotel Info * Holly Bank House Bursnips Road Essington, Wolverhampton WV11 2RD England 5.

We did ebjoyed a  couples weekend!  Super breakfest, spa, hot tub... And huge grden! Staff is very friendly and helpful!!! Best wishes to Tim and Lisa and all staff!! - 956astab My wife and I enjoyed a Birmingham city break just after the Commonwealth Games. Clover Spa and Hotel is only 20 minutes drive from the city centre or just a short train ride away. We stopped in a 'Comfy Room', number 3, overlooking the hotel gardens. The room was clean and nicely set out with a small but perfectly adequate ensuite. Tim and his team work extremely hard to make everyone feel welcome. The atmosphere is unlike any other hotel and incredibly relaxing. Although we didn't take advantage of any of the spa treatments on offer, we did use the hot tub, sauna, steam room, plunge pool and heated benches. Luckily we had good weather during our break and were able to sit out in the garden with a drink or just sunbathe. After an excellent freshly cooked full English breakfast, we didn't feel the need for any lunch although there was a good selection of sandwiches and snacks available. There's also a good selection of evening meals at very reasonable prices. Thursday night, we took part in the quiz hosted by Emma which was great fun. I think we came second which was a pleasant surprise. If you are looking for a truly relaxing break, or just need a base to explore Birmingham or the surrounding area, you won't find anywhere else that comes close to Clover Spa and Hotel. Even the shortest break leaves you feeling like you've just had a full holiday. It's just a shame you have to get dressed again when you leave. - B3528YYgeorgeb Thank you so much to the staff, Martin, Lisa, Rachel and Jasmine, absolutely top drawer, and nothing too much trouble, made me feel very welcome. Lovely hotel, clean rooms and great facilities. In addition to this, there were around 20 other guests during my stay, and all so friendly, making the stay more comfortable, as it was my first time at a naturist hotel, it certainly won't be my last, cannot wait to return, thank you.

Thank you once again Norma. - mikemC4794FG Looking forward to staying here again! Perfectly clean and beautiful room, we felt so at home because of the lovely staff such as Norma. Fantastic disability access and Norma accommodated to all our needs. Thankyou! - LANzoka I've stayed in hotels across the world and this by far has the best hostess - Norma.  She does everything in her power to make you as comfortable as possible and I couldn't feel more at home, whilst working away from home. The rooms are spacious, clean with a comfortable bed and the heating is just right. Breakfast was laid out just for me, every morning which was a lovely touch. The road is very peaceful and quiet and travel to and from City Hospital made this the perfect location. I've stayed in other hotels in the area which offer a substandard service in comparison.  I wouldn't doubt about returning here in the future and can highly recommend the Westbourne Lodge. - SpoonyPizzas Hotel Info * Fountain Road Edgbaston, Birmingham B17 8NJ England

Hotels near the beach in Vancouver, Canada

1. Sandman Suites Vancouver - Davie Street Nearby restaurants: * Breka Bakery & Cafe * La Belle Patate * Banana Leaf on Davie Nearby attractions: * Sunset Beach * Score On Davie * The West End Let’s see how people review this hotel I stayed at Sandman Suites for three weeks and my experience was beyond the expectations. Spacious room can fit a family of three.  Actually it's  a small one bedroom with all the amenities you might need during your extended stay. Housekeeping kept the room clean and tidy and the front desk was super friendly and very professional.  Also, English Bay was in 10 minutes walk, and the area has probably the best food in town. Great stay! - Voyage440938 We stayed here for one night after a cruise and really wish it had been more.  We arrived around 10am on Canada Day and planned on leaving our bags and exploring, the front desk told us our room was available and gave us an upgrade to the PH floor.   Room was very nice with a jacuzzi, balcony had fantastic views from the 24th floor.   Hotel is in a nice area, KFC right across the street and a food mart/drug store, lots of nice places to eat and drink around too, the front desk was very helpful in giving us directions to the hop on/off stop and also to the metro system which was not too far away.  Would stay here again. - rickwal We had a great time thanks to the lovely staff and their hard work. Chloe at the concierge was especially kind and helpful. The room was recently renovated and well-kept., and had everything we needed. The sofa bed was a little bit uncomfortable, so we just pushed two twins together. - shaunrP1265IC Hotel Info * view website * 1 (604) 305-1563 * 1160 Davie St, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 1N1 Canada 2. Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Hotel Nearby restaurants: * Black + Blue * Hydra Estiatorio Mediterranean * Zefferelli's Nearby attractions: * Marine Building * Bill Reid Gallery * Vancouver Downtown Let’s see how people review this hotel Only spent one night at this hotel on our last night as we were headed back home after a week in Vancouver. This is one superb hotel - first the location right by the water is such a gorgeous one, I wish we could have stayed longer (or discovered this one sooner). It is a large and busy hotel, but that did not take away from high quality, comfort  and cleanliness of the rooms (excellent) and the good service. We did not get a chance to try any amenities but I am sure they would have been just a great. It is a bit of a walk to the main downtown Vancouver shopping and dinning core (maybe about 20 mins walk) but worth it anyway.  Definitely recommend staying here. - TTToronto This was our first time to Vancouver and I wish we had more time!!  This hotel was fantastic and it was a great location- Our room was lovely and the water view was spectacular. The beds were super comfortable and it was so clean. I took advantage of the hotel gym which was far and above a typical hotel gym- the hotel also has private residences, so it is also the gym that the residents use, so it is fantastic (and wasn't too busy.) While the concierge lounge was open, it was only stocked with sodas, juices, water, tea, coffee and chips, they did extend a highly generously portioned appetizer off the menu, as well as the delicious buffet breakfast to us in lieu of the lounge breakfast (we are a certain marriott convoy level so we opted for the breakfast over the additional points.) If you are headed to Vancouver, I highly recommend staying at the Marriott PInnacle- you won't be disappointed!  - laurend217 The Vancouver Marriott was a hotel which was clean and the location was excellent. Everything was walking distance and the view was great from the room as we were on a high floor. Breakfast was simply perfect , good layout and great choices. The wifi worked well and the lady in the help desk helped us plan our itinerary around Vancouver well. We were here for 4 nights with our family and would definitely stay here again if travelling to Vancouver.  - Avi_Singh Hotel Info * view website * 1 (844) 631-0595 * 1128 Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4R5 Canada 3. The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver Nearby restaurants: * Cardero's Restaurant & Live Bait Marine Pub * Nero waffles * Miko Sushi Nearby attractions: * Coal Harbour Marina * The Soap Artisan * Lightshed Let’s see how people review this hotel This hotel exceeded my expectations thoroughly. From the front desk to the valet personnel, everyone was a complete pleasure and happy to assist. The grounds were very well kept and our room was clean and cool. We had a great time at this hotel, plenty of places to walk to, and overall a great experience. Would definitely like to come back here some day! - SkylessKnight We stayed at the Bayshore since the days of Trader Vic's.  It is a Vancouver landmark and a majestic property on the shores of the Harbour and a breathtaking view of the mountains and ocean.  It is a little out of the way of downtown Vancouver and a walk to go anywhere, so when the construction and renovations took over we chose other hotels.  It is now completed and our first trip back was amazing and busy.  The hotel now has a buzz as the place to be and the empty cavernous areas are filled with bars and restaurants.  It has changed the atmosphere and made any change of ven - charlief767 What a beautiful hotel in a wonderful Bay area of Vancouver. This hotel is situated right next to the scenic Stanley Park. It was so nice to be able to get up in the morning and walk to the park for some fresh air and exercise. There were a lot of bikers in the park as well, but they have their own lanes. Check in was easy and the front desk staff were welcoming and so nice! We ate breakfast every morning in the hotel restaurant. They have a delicious buffet, or you can order off of the menu. The staff at this restaurant are the best. They remembered us each morning and were always full of smiles and suggestions for our time there. They have a spa in the hotel, but sadly I did not get a chance to book a treatment there. It looked lovely, though. The outside pool area is beautiful and so relaxing! You forget you are in a large city. We loved our stay here! - Lisa964 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (844) 631-0595 * 1601 Bayshore Drive, Vancouver, British Columbia V6G 2V4 Canada 4. Granville Island Hotel Nearby restaurants: * The Sandbar Seafood Restaurant * Lee's Donuts * The Vancouver Fish Company Nearby attractions: * Granville Island * Granville Island Public Market * The Improv Centre Let’s see how people review this hotel Great waterfront location on Granville, comfortable and spacious, well equipped room. Walk to everything, public market ,artists lofts and studio workshops, loads of great shopping and the famous seawall... appreciated the later than usual noon checkout!  - nwakeman We have stayed here several times.  It is always our first choice as we love the location and the accommodations.  The assortment of good things to eat at the public market is amazing.  The hotel is conveniently located for the things we like to do like going to Bard on the Beach, Stanley Park and Kitsilano. - MaryEllen2013 Granville Island hotel is on a great location with scores of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The Hotel itself is very nice with ample parking and a very friendly and helpful staff. We also took advantage of its proximity to Bard on the Beach... We would easily walk to the plays. A great advantage...  - 1GrumpyOldMan Hotel Info * 1253 Johnston St Granville Island, Vancouver, British Columbia V6H 3R9 Canada 5. Sylvia Hotel Nearby restaurants: * Kingyo * Sylvia's Restaurant and Lounge * Red Umbrella Cafe Nearby attractions: * English Bay * English Bay Beach * A-maze-ing Laughter Let’s see how people review this hotel What a great place to stay in Vancouver. We had a room at the front overlooking the beach so we had a fantastic view. The staff were great helping us out with our first visit to Vancouver and let us check in early too. The restaurant and bar on site are a bonus and you only need walk up the road for so many other dining choices. Check out the sunset each evening and easy access to Stanley Park. - Persia69 We love staying at the Sylvia.  The location is perfect and beautiful and the hotel has so much character and charm.  We had not been during the pandemic and we very pleased to see that the bathrooms had been updated.   Being located right across from the seawall and so close to the entrance to Stanley Park is wonderful.  It's also fun to watch all of the walkers and bikers go by.  It a busy area but the hotel is a peaceful oasis.   We also enjoy the restaurant and lounge with their great views. I could not recommend The Sylvia more.  You will not be disappointed - nwtraveler64 We have stayed at the Sylvia many times over the past year. It's history, location, food and customer service keep us coming back. It is literally steps from English Bay and Stanley Park. The restaurant has a great pub vibe with incredible food and unique cocktails. - K8480QXandrewh Hotel Info * view website * 1 (604) 670-4581 * 1154 Gilford St, Vancouver, British Columbia V6G 2P6 Canada 6. The Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront Nearby restaurants: * Black + Blue * Hydra Estiatorio Mediterranean * The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Alberni Nearby attractions: * Marine Building * Bill Reid Gallery * Vancouver Downtown Let’s see how people review this hotel Booked four nights and kept name of hotel  a "secret" from my Vancouver-raised husband.  12th floor offered exceptional harbour views, and the hotel did NOT disappoint.    Enjoyed watching cruise ships come and go and only a short walk to Pan Pacific to see them up close.  Keurig had 4-6 coffee/tea pods and easy to get more from Guest Services, although rooms are not refreshed unless one identifies this request on arrival.   Parking underground for happy (park free) Alberta Road Trippers worked out very well, as one can easily come and go during the day and up to 5pm on day of departure.  Tanay checked us in very efficiently.  Did not take in their generous Happy Hour from 3-6 daily but did indulge in their Sunday Night Prime Rib dinner.  (requested more gravy for the huge Yorkshire pudding).   Pool and hot tub were nice with gym also on 4th floor. - helenrJ2233WU The pool and hot tub was nice. The restaurant had live music and friendly staff. The food was excellent! My room was nice and clean. Great location with a good view. I enjoyed my stay. I would stay here again.  - sonyan12345 We've booked this hotel for our 30rd wedding anniversary. It was the perfect place. We booked a room with the view on Coal Harbour. Everything was perfect : clean, silent, friendly staff etc You can  even rent electric bike at the front desk. Who could ask for more ?  - ericl114 Hotel Info * 1133 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3T3 Canada 7.

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Would recommend a stay here - angelaaD2184DS Everything was pleasant, from check-in to check-out.  The room was a good size, clean and had a very good view.  The location was perfect, easy walking distance to an assortment of different restaurants and attractions.  Friendly staff!  Only stayed 1 night, but could see myself staying longer next time. I would recommend this hotel to friends and business associate’s.   - DaveA790 Hotel Info * 1180 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4R5 Canada

1. Shore Hotel Nearby restaurants: * SUGARFISH by sushi nozawa * True Food Kitchen * Brunos Nearby attractions: * Santa Monica Pier * Santa Monica Bay * Santa Monica State Beach Let’s see how people review this hotel We loved our stay at Shore Hotel. Ramon was particularly accommodating and helpful. As Ramon suggested, we utilized Shore’s incredible location and borrowed the free bikes for a ride along the bike path to Venice Beach. Staff were very helpful letting us store our bags and borrow beach towels and shower before our evening flight on day of check out. Wonderful stay. - Y7311LKgeorgias The Shore Hotel is a great choice for a comfortable, beach location in Santa Monica. The staff are outstanding in offering help and making sure your stay is perfect. We loved riding the free bikes on the bike path along the beaches and being able to walk to the North Italica (dinner) and Jinky’s (breakfast—the special is a great bargain). The room was very clean and  attractive. We would definitely stay here again. - Cathleen60 This is my 5th time at the Shore hotel and like all the other times it was incredible,like always the hotel looked great and i got to see my favorite usual staff members and some new ones like Melissa from minibar who helped me get some water to my room. The best part is the food getting to see and talk with Chef edwin which was great. And i have to mention  my houseman Carlos and housekeeper Ena who always let my room nice. I love having drink by the pool with Raul he makes the best drinks and we have the best conversations. Deffinetly another 5star stay i will always recommend the Shore Hotel. - 887magalyp Hotel Info * 1515 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401 2. Staypineapple, An Elegant Hotel, Union Square Nearby restaurants: * Lapisara Eatery * Liholiho Yacht Club * Tacorea Nearby attractions: * Marrakech Magic Theater * San Francisco Playhouse * Biscuits and Blues Let’s see how people review this hotel I've stayed at a number of hotels of this vintage that have been remodeled and Staypineapple is by far the best I have experienced. A great stay all around. They invested in important details: double-paned windows so the rooms are very quiet, extremely comfortable bed, duvet, and sheets; high quality towels; thoughtful design on furnishings; great amenities. The Staypineapple team is fantastic - from Managers Rhodora and Joel to front desk staff Erick and the cleaning staff, everyone was very nice and helpful. Great, well-run property. Good location central close to Union Square with easy access to Chinatown/North Beach, Moscone/South of Market, and other neighborhoods. Highly recommended. - johnhI3565OV Just what any solo traveller will fall in lovd with. After a long walk of sightseeing in San Francisco, you go home and have good rest at this loveky hotel. From the front desk up to checking in the room, the whole experience was great. I highly recommend StayPineapple for female travellers. This will be good as well for couples. - Ilovetheemaria We love the place our room looks nice and the staffs are friendly very helpful if you need something they really help you right away. They great us always everytime they sees us. We would like to come back and stay again to this hotel. - N2840CQdinab Hotel Info * 580 Geary St, San Francisco, CA 94102-1650 3. Bahia Resort Hotel Nearby restaurants: * Dockside 1953 * Tangier Bar * Luigi's at the Beach Nearby attractions: * Escapology San Diego * Giant Dipper Roller Coaster * Coaster Saloon Mission Beach California Let’s see how people review this hotel My family and stayed at the Bahia Resort Hotel for my team building experience. We arrived earlier than what was allowed for normal check-in, but the Resort accomodated us with holding our bags and letting us know they would allow us to check-in early if there was availability. The entire staff was knowledgeable and kind, but I have to give a shout-out to Daniel. He was so helpful to us once we received our room. We got lost and had a hard time locating the building we were in, he took the golfcart to locate my family and drove us directly to our door. Everytime he would see us, he would ask if we needed anything or if there was anything he could help with, including a ride. The beds are ridiculously comfortable as are the pillows. I inquired about those and Daniel helped me find out what type of mattress & pillows the resort uses. The food at Dockside was excellent, a little pricey, but good. The gift shop has everything in it in the event you forgot something like sunscreen or aloe. Excellent place to find the perfect gift for the loved one back home or for yourself too. The resort is about a mile from Belmont Park where you will find the beach, great food, excellent people watching, roller coaster, water park, zip line, and an escape room. We enjoyed an evening out on the Bahia Belle, which is a 45 minute ride on the local boat (50 Ton boat). It travelled along the entire inlet of the bay. Hands down the best part of the trip were the seals Bahia Resort takes care of. We spent our mornings drinking coffee and watching the two sun themselves, living their best lives. This was one of my top 5 trip with my family. I will definitely return. - HelloMrsRobinson72 We visited here many times and sent three different sets of friends here as well. There is something very special and unique about this place. On the Bay/Mariner with a 5 minute walk to the ocean! Always improving, changing, & renovating. One thing that is consistent - Heather Lawlor. There’s no surprise that most of the staff is friendly, professional, and hardworking, the ones which shine the brightest must have been hired by Heather or someone with Heather’s stellar qualities of customer service. Just to mention a few, Manjoladuwa, Madelyn, Trey, Rachel, Esther, & Lily! The newly revised housekeeping team is fantastic. Three people work together and replace and replenish and empty all towels, trash, water bottles, coffee, & shampoo etc., all in 10 minutes! Dockside 1953 the new restaurant is wonderful, the food, the host, service (Eddie), & the views!! - 20sale My wife and I just came back from one of our best vacations ever.  We spent 5 days at the Bahia Resort Hotel and had a blast, however there was one hiccup.  We spent about 20 minutes searching for our room (the room numbers should be larger) and finally went back to the lobby for help.  Supervisor Inez apologized for the inconvenience and immediately upgraded our room for a reasonable price.  Hayden grabbed our luggage and took us directly to our room.  I offered to tip him and he refused saying he only wanted to make sure our time at the hotel was excellent.  Given my bad knees, we used Hayden and Jordon to transport us several more times and they were great.  We had a Suite right on the beach and it was fabulous.  The amenities were excellent and the food at the Dockside 1953 restaurant was fantastic.  The area around the hotel was very nice but Bahia still provided helpful security that patrolled the property.  We will defintely be back.  Thanks to all. - CarolynandRoss Hotel Info * view website * 1 (858) 264-0131 * 998 West Mission Bay Drive, San Diego, CA 92109 4.

The aesthetic was superb. What a superior experience here.   Felt amazing to be there. The view was beautiful. Located was perfect for me. I definitely will be back to visit Grand Hyatt again with my family.  - katzillaj Fantastic view and location to anything worth seeing in San Diego.  Easier access to locations away from the marina then the other "convention" hotels. Roof Top lounge is a "Must Do" whether you're staying at the hotel or not.  - 578mick When arrived asked if we wanted daily housekeeping, we said we did but they never came by.  After the second day we had to ask for clean towels.  They did finally bring the towels, and said to leave dirty ones by the door!  We expressed out disappointment when checking out.  The rep immediately got a manager, he came out and apologized for what happened and thanked us for letting him know.  Then proceeded to compensate us very generously and hoped we will come back again. We've stayed here before, it's a beautiful hotel and in a great location. Hyatt is definitely one of my favorite hotels.   - carolea494 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (619) 273-5046 * 1 Market Place, San Diego, CA 92101-7714 5.

The hotel is absolutely fantastic, perfectly located , and the customer service is exceptional. One employee in particular, Diante, went above and beyond to ensure our return stay was especially fabulous! He is a joy to talk to, was super informative, and is a tremendous asset to The Catamaran. - 279ashp My husband and I stayed here just for a couple of nights before we headed to LA it was so beautiful!

The room was spacious and clean with a nice patio and was lovely and quiet. The staff in the bar and restaurant were really friendly, out of all the places we stayed on our California trip they seemed the happiest to be at work which is really nice to see! We loved the sunset viewpoint and the Wonders of Yosemite day trip we did with Jim. The spa pool was a lovely place to relax after a day’s hiking. We ate in the restaurant each morning and evening and there’s a small store where you can buy provisions for a picnic lunch. - Divingbecs1 More than just a place to stay, Evergreen Lodge is a destination itself. Every aspect is well thought out. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The grounds are well laid out and you feel at home among the trees and wonderful atmosphere. The food is excellent and reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. It’s right outside Yosemite and they offer great advice on your visit to the park. The evening campfires and s’mores were a great touch to cap off the day. - RonGCSR Loved our time at Evergreen. Friendly staff, loads to do on site, close enough to Yosemite. You can tell thought and care has gone into the guest experience. Small issue in cabin resolved quickly. Hot tub excellent! Minor point - restaurant was out of stock of the most popular dish, covid policy still (?) in effect resulting in less tables per night and clearly understaffed. the staff point may have been on our specific days, so I will excuse. Overall highly recommend. - Bri999 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (209) 682-0026 * 33160 Evergreen Road, Groveland, CA 95321-9772

6 guest houses near Eiffel Tower, France

1. La Maison Favart Nearby restaurants: * Frog & Underground * Midi 12 * Mian Fan Nearby attractions: * Apaches De Paris * Escape Hunt - Escape Game Paris * Victory Escape Game Opéra Let’s see how people review this hotel A great location, close to restaurants and shopping. Tucked in on a side street in a very safe part of Paris. The hotel looks great both inside and out, and the service is 5 star all the way. The staff was warm and friendly and were so patient with our very bad French! The concierge helped us with all our needs, including dinner reservations at two great (and walkable) French restaurants that were both were “booked up”. We have traveled quite a bit over the years and this place is as nice as any you will find. We will be back. - GeorgiaVol Our trip to Paris was to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We wanted to stay somewhere special, and booked 11 nights at La Maison Favart. We definitely hit the jackpot with this booking. From the moment our car service arrived in front of the hotel, we were met with smiling, friendly faces. Things only got better from there. The lobby is beautiful, and hospitality abounds.  Everything about this place is immaculate and tidy, in addition to being attractive and well decorated. Breakfast is available at an extra charge, and includes a variety of items to suit almost any preference. In the afternoon there is an honor bar available, as well as cake and coffee/tea. We had a fifth-floor room facing the plaza in front of the hotel. I will say the rooms are a bit small by American standards, although I do not believe it is unusual in a boutique hotel in Paris. We did not consider this to be a problem. The bed was comfortable, the room nicely decorated, and the bathroom was modern and spotless, with lovely toiletries and fluffy towels. No complaints whatsoever! The view of the plaza proved to be an endless source of amusement for us. We watched small children playing soccer, mothers with baby carriages, and even a young couple doing the tango to boom box music! One day the plaza was complete occupied by a film crew, and we waved at the actors (they waved back!) and enthusiastically applauded their takes. The hotel is well located, with a Metro station just down the street. Restaurants abound within walking distance.  Our compliments to every member of the staff at La Maison Favart. We love you all! If we ever are in Paris again, believe me, we will be back! - plw0902 A beautiful boutique restaurant in 2nd Arrondissement. Staff were helpful and professional. Many tourist destinations were an easy walk within 20 minutes. Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby.

Hotel Duquesne Eiffel Nearby restaurants: * Le Florimond * Zia * Restaurant Mariette Nearby attractions: * 7ème Arrondissement * Dôme des Invalides * Cathédrale Saint-Louis des Invalides Let’s see how people review this hotel I cannot fault our stay at Hotel Duquesne Eiffel. Our trip felt so special and the hotel had such a huge part to play in this. The staff could not do enough for us and were so friendly, helpful and attentive both prior, during and after our stay. A huge shout out to Drichelle who is an incredible asset to the hotel - thank you for looking after us and recommending the lovely restaurant down the road ‘La Terasse’. The room was perfect. We stayed in a premium Eiffel Tower view room and it felt like something out of a movie - romantic, cosy and just perfect! We did not want to leave! Thank you Hotel Duquesne Eiffel for the best stay in Paris we have ever had - we will certainly be returning! - Joebovis We arrived a bit early to check in, so we killed time at a cafe for an hour.  Clara was very helpful at checking us in. The halls, and elevators, and rooms are small, but it's Europe.     There's a great breakfast on the lower level that's in a quaint room which cost 13 euros apiece when we took advantage of it. But it's really good!   The rooms are small, but very nice and clean. The shower has great temperature and water pressure, BUT the shower only has a splash guard so that awesome water pressure can splash all over if you're not careful.  The toiletries were just a shower gel bottle in the shower, a bottle of lotion, and a bottle of hand soap.  So anything more you'd need, you'd have to bring.  I loved having a small fridge in the room, and I think there was a safe in the closet that needed some kind of key, but we didn't look into it.  The TV is a flat screen against the wall and has many French and English channels. There is no iron or ironing board, and even though I saw one downstairs where I ate breakfast, we discovered that was for use for the whole hotel and we had to bring our clothes downstairs to iron it. So I had wrinkled clothes that day.  But other than that, everything was amazing!! All the major tourist attractions are within walking distance. La Bon Marche', Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, all within walking distance. It's a long walk, but I love it. Also really close is that huge gold domed building which is Hotel National des Invalides, which is must better than it sounds where you can see Napoleon's tomb and other great things.   But this hotel is GREAT, the staff (ALL the staff!) is SO nice! This was the perfect introduction to Paris for me! Also, if you want to sit outside with a glass of wine from next door, the wifi works there as well! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to stay here again! - AnneLuvabull It was our first visit at this hotel,  chosen fit is closeness to my mother in law.  Well worth it.  Comfortable rooms for everyone.  Very quiet despite being on busy street. Couldn't hear anything inside which I  love ❤️.  Sheets are terrific, be a little unyielding for me but loved it overall.  Interesting to have 3 packets of shoe shine sponges in the amenities!  Very inviting outdoor seating which seems a familiar landing place for many. - Rahimatravels Hotel Info * 23 Avenue Duquesne, 75007 Paris France 3.

Me and my husband had a wonderful time, lovely laidback Parisian hotel in a nice area. Close to Eiffel Tower. Going to rebook with our 2 children - janef333 My husband and I stayed at the Hotel de Londres Eiffel last year. We arrived on his birthday and were escorted to a room with a lovely view of the Eiffel Tower. Upon our arrival, there was a bottle of chilled champagne and a lovely hand written note to welcome us. Located blocks away from the Seine, we were able to walk everywhere in the city from the hotel. The staff were warm, helped us locate a Museum Pass and had wonderful restaurant recommendations. I would stay again in a heartbeat! - Coastal438166 Stayed here in May 2022 with my daughter. The hotel owners and staff went above and beyond to make our first visit to Paris wonderful. Everyone made us feel like family and was invested in ensuring that we had a fantastic stay. I highly recommend staying at this hotel. We will definitely stay at Hotel Londres Eiffel again when we return to Paris. I look forward to seeing the owners and staff again soon. - 123Tired Hotel Info * view website * 011 33 1 86 76 69 02 * 1 rue Augereau, 75007 Paris France 4. Citadines Tour Eiffel Paris Nearby restaurants: * Les Freres Bretons * La Veraison * Le Cherine Nearby attractions: * Marché Grenelle * Le Zéro de Conduite * Oogy Wawa Let’s see how people review this hotel Stayed 4 nights at a one bedroom apartment, kids  slept on the sofa bed, no issue at all. Apartment was clean had a full kitchen even though small but it worked out good for us. Our room had the Eiffel tower view on the 6th floor, you can see the lights at night. So beautiful. Even though it was in front of the metro line, we weren't too bothered about the noise as some reviews mentioned. On sunday morning there was a local market, we spent some time there buying artisan croissants..very delicious. Also there is McDonald's right besode the hotel, and Monprix supermarket across the street, very convenient for families. We also had breakfast at a local cafe across the road, I forgot the name but I recommend the green cafe as it was cheaper than the other ones, and the breakfast set was good, omelets, croissants, baguette, jam, OJ and coffee/tea for €11. Will definitely stay again if I visit Paris 🙂  - Ninz82 This hotel was recommended by our Travel Advisor for our first trip to Paris and did not disappoint.  The location is  wonderful and it is a very easy walk up to the Eiffel Tower.  The front desk staff was very helpful and kind with suggestions and directions especially Valentina!   The rooms are a great size and having the apartment style set up is wonderful.  We had an amazing view from our rooms and could not have asked for more to make our little home away from home feel great while we were there! - 441corinneh This was a "big birthday" trip for 3 senior friends.  We stayed 7 nights and found the hotel very safe and convenient.  Our apartment (312) had a view of the Eiffel Tower and was a good layout with K bdr and a split pull-out sofa in living area, plus table/4 chairs, mini-kitchen and split bath.  It was small, but larger than we expected given typical European hotel room sizes.  We didn't eat at the hotel; bought pastries/yogurt/berries/cheeses/wine nearby.  The metro was just across the street, so perfect for convenience; some noise but didn't bother us at night.  Many cafes, small shops, plus a yummy bakery nearby.  The staff was very helpful, especially Valentina who did our check-in and continued to help us throughout with metro assistance, suggestions, etc always with a smile. - JulieBWilmingtonNC Hotel Info * 132 boulevard de Grenelle 15th Arr., 75015 Paris France 5.

We had an excellent stay at the Pullman. In room espresso machine and breakfast were outstanding!  If you want some epic hotel room pictures in Paris you must stay here.  Highly recommend! - thelifeofpol We stayed two nights at the Hotel. Checking in was easy, in fact we got there at 10:30 a.m. expecting our room was not ready, but we we were  able to go to our room.  The room was large enough, and had a nice patio with a great view from the 9th floor. The elevators were working well, and we had very little waiting time. The staff in all areas were very friendly and willing to help. Our breakfast was included in the price, and it was very well set up, and delicious. The location was amazingly central to so many things, many choices of restaurants very close to the hotel. We went to the bar on the top floor, but though you could see the Eiffel Tower all lit up, it was not an inviting atmosphere. They wanted you buying drinks and not just coming for a picture. They only really rude staff that we encountered. Overall our experience was so positive. We were told that the top floor bar was closing the day after we were there, so hopefully the new and improved version will be a more comfortable environment (the 80’s dance club is what the recent one reminded me of). My rating was based on the hotel only. - ycnanb I was nervous about booking this reservation due to previous reviews stating there is no response from the hotel. I called and emailed several times without a response, however, I finally got through on a call (just be patient and try different times of the day).  The receptionist (may have been Joy, she also responded to my email) was So excited for us to visit and confirmed our reservation. I will update this review after our stay. Just a reminder you are in good hands; just be patient. Hopefully, this helps when you’re reviewing places to stay! Can’t wait to post photos on social!

Each member of staff went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay and showed their guests care and class. Each detail of the hotel was pure magic, from the breathtaking city and Eiffel tower view, to the fresh breakfast buffet - every bit of my experience felt surreal. After travelling Paris on a budget, this beautiful hotel was the perfect way to relax in luxury and end my trip on a high. Thank you to the staff for upgrading my room to the 6th floor and for making my stay the best experience I could have dreamed of. I will certainly be back in Paris just to revisit the magic at La Comtesse! - sydneyednie1 We were in Paris for one day and this hotel was in the perfect location. It's a small room but super cozy and comfortable. It's perfect for a couple visiting the city of love. Bathroom was extra spacious and the shower was amazing. The bed and pillows were a dream after a 6+ hour flight. The view was a dream too! Front desk staff was super helpful and the breakfast buffet was super delicious. - Z5723SUashleyp La Comtesse is in a great location with easy access to the metro.  Great breakfast choices and many restaurants and grocery stores nearby.  Very close to Eiffel Tower, could walk to many popular locations.   Would stay here again. - GovisBob Hotel Info * 29 avenue de Tourville, 75007 Paris France

They gave us special attention and assistance at the breakfast buffet, the pool, and room service. Kids love the pool. Room is spacious for a family of four. Not to mention kids were excited to see 101 in their room. The only downside is they close the skywalk to 101 and the side entrance, making us walk way much more. T

13 B&Bs With Great Breakfasts In Victoria

1. Abbeymoore Manor Bed and Breakfast Inn Nearby restaurants: * JOIE Grillades * Shine Cafe * The Teahouse at Abkhazi Garden Nearby attractions: * Government House * Abkhazi Garden * Craigdarroch Castle Let’s see how people review this hotel Just stayed at Jeff’s BnB in Victoria. Jeff and his staff went above and beyond to make our stay delightful. Kept our bags safe while we did a several day hike. Took such good care of me after I broke  my wrist; placed a blanket over my shoulders when he thought I was cold. The entire place is charming. The location is wonderful. Easy walking distance to so many sights. Loved our chats with the staff as well. Will definitely be returning. - reanns2022 Our stay at Abbeymoore Manor completely exceeded our expectations.  The house itself is in a gorgeous historical community with many points of interest, beautiful homes and places to explore.  The bed and breakfast is lovely and  the people who run it are top notch.  They are so helpful, personable and interesting to talk to.  They constantly were doing things to help us and we can’t say enough about the hospitality they provided.  The breakfasts they served each day were so visually appealing and delicious. We had such a perfect stay and cannot recommend Abbeymoore Manor enough! Thank you Jeff, Erin, Henry, Alexander and Daniel for a wonderful stay! - Z1608INmelissap My wife and I stayed three nights at Abbeymoore Manor last week. It was honestly the best experience we have ever had at a B&B or a vacation rental! The garden suite was charming and comfortable, the breakfasts were amazing (!!!) and Jeff is the best host anyone could ever hope to have at an inn! The location is in a wonderful neighborhood just down the street from the Government House and its beautiful grounds. It is also a stone’s throw from all the harbor and Victoria have to offer as well as easy access to routes that will take you North to other parts of Vancouver Island. We really can’t say enough good things! We generally like to book a variety of different accommodations when we return to a place on vacation, but we will make an exception for the Abbeymoore. Every trip to Victoria, we will stay here! - ChristopherD716 Hotel Info * 1470 Rockland Ave, Victoria, British Columbia V8S 1W2 Canada 2. Wits End Retreat Nearby restaurants: * My-Chosen Cafe * Sabhai Thai * Bin 4 Burger Lounge Nearby attractions: * Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Sites * Hatley Castle * Hatley Park National Historic Site Let’s see how people review this hotel As advertised and previously reviewed, and better.  Spacious super-clean accommodations, quiet area, fabulous gardens, welcoming hosts and breakfasts to die for.  Beach steps away, nearby hiking, and less than 30 minutes from Victoria Harbour.  We hope to return. - TulsaKevink Wow.  It's hard to imagine a Bed and Breakfast getting any better than this:  lovely, flowered and landscaped grounds; large, sunny, charming suite; quiet location close to a beach and excellent cycling trail; delicious gourmet breakfasts; warm-hearted, generous hosts (Sandy and Heather) with whom we laughed way too much; and three adorable Golden Retrievers.  The highest praise you can give a place like this is to sincerely say, "We'll be back!"  And we will.  We're already booked for next year. - davedjf Wits End Retreat is truely one of a kind bed and breakfast. Heather and Sandy have created an oasis which we are so fortunate to have experienced. The suite is private and serene looking out onto the gorgeous garden which was in full bloom! The coffee/tea and  breakfast was gourmet and divine. Sandy's culinary chef expertise is obvious in every dish and Heather's poached pears was a favorite ;) They put so much care into every detail to make for a really wonderful stay.  We really felt rejuvenated at the end of our stay and will definately come back to Metchosin! - Atussa Hotel Info * 517 Witty Beach Rd Metchosin, Victoria, British Columbia V9C 4H8 Canada 3. Fairholme Manor Nearby restaurants: * Shine Cafe * The Teahouse at Abkhazi Garden * Bubby Roses Bakery Nearby attractions: * Government House * Abkhazi Garden * Craigdarroch Castle Let’s see how people review this hotel We stayed three nights in the lovely Rose Garden suite. Very spacious, it included a second bedroom, kitchen and bath as well as a large deck overlooking the garden. Located in a historic neighborhood, perfect for walks. Close by is Cook Street with restaurants and shops...downtown five minutes away. Sylvia and Ross are gracious hosts, welcoming as is their staff. Breakfasts were different every morning, delicious and healthy. You will really enjoy the Fairholme and it's lovely gardens. - christined673 We spent 3 nights (Aug. 16,17,18) in the Penthouse Suite. Thankfully the heatwave had dissipated and we were very comfortable (there is no A/C).  Super comfortable king bed.  Lots of space in the suite … in fact it is like a one bedroom apartment … cute kitchen with fridge, stove, sink and small table and chairs.  The suite is not done up in a busy Victorian decor … rather just spacious, clean and comfortable.  I just felt a wee bit bad for the people downstairs as the hallway floor squeaked rather loudly when/if you get up in the night … nothing to be done about it but to walk softly.  But … maybe it’s not as bad as it seemed. Loved the quiet of the neighbourhood at night.  Enjoyed the deer, rabbits and hummingbirds on the property.  Enjoyed looking out in the morning to see all the volunteers arriving to tend to the plant nursery of the Government House next door … a happy, cheery bunch.   Breakfast was a special treat each morning.  We sat in the dining room two mornings and on the veranda another.   The proprietors are both very nice people … they’ve been at it for 20 years and they most certainly know what they’re doing. I am very glad to have chosen Fairholm Manor and would most definitely stay again. We enjoyed dinners at “The Collective Wine Bar and Kitchen” in Cook Street Village and also “Cafe Brio” on Fort Street. - Boxer4 We had a great stay at the Fairholme Manor Inn. We stayed in the penthouse suite which is a nice size with a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room and sitting area. Wonderful views from the different directions. You can see the mountains and water to the one direction and Government House park to the other. The breakfasts are very tasty, nicely prepared and presented and will certainly leave you full. We'd certainly stay here again. - amtech975 Hotel Info * 638 Rockland Pl, Victoria, British Columbia V8S 3R2 Canada 4.

We had the Poppy room, which was a really good size, and the little balcony over the water was perfect to sit with a glass of wine, or to enjoy takeaway. There are just two guest rooms - so book early! We loved staying in Fisherman’s Wharf, great food and views, and feels a million miles away from downtown Victoria- though you can walk in to town in around 20 minutes along the waterfront. Carene provides tea/coffee in the room, and a voucher to go to Imagine studio cafe just over the park for breakfast. Their breakfast is really good, as are all the people who work there and their ethos. We ended up not being able to resist their cakes/pastries to takeaway too. Such a peaceful place to stay - even when the Wharf is busy during the day. The Wharf is locked at night, and you have a code to access the dock, so totally quiet at night. Carene provides a parking permit for use during the stay. We saw sea otters and even a raccoon when we were sat on the balcony. Would love to stay again when our travels bring us to Canada. - LoveourHolidays_10 What a great experience. Comfortable and excellent location. Worth every penny! A unique place to stay. Breakfast voucher at a local cafe was within walking distance and absolutely delicious. Wish we would have stayed a few more nights. - ColleenC324 What a wonderful place to stay. The host was warm and friendly and a great help with the surrounding area. Our room was wonderful, we stayed in the poppy room. So bright and cheery. Close to all that you might want to see. The water taxi was so cool. We went to the end of the line and walked back along the harbour. So many things to do and see!  Choosing where to eat is hard with so many wonderful places all around! - Q4603MJtracyp Hotel Info * view website * 1 (778) 653-5185 * 1 Dallas Rd, Victoria, British Columbia V8V 0B2 Canada 5.

We needed some help from the staff and got all that we hoped for.  Very quiet room for sleeping. Great location ten minute walk to water. Food was very good. Only downside no elevator. - chashike This is a terrific hotel -- small enough to provide excellent , personable service and big enough to provide all the amenities a guest can expect.  In short, my wife and I find the overall value and location of Abigail's second-to-none among places to stay in Victoria.  Looking forward to the new rooms once they are completed later this year. - ScottMc1 The staff was very friendly and attentive. My family enjoyed the casual and welcoming home vibe of Abigail's. The food was delicious from the cookies to the appetizers and breakfast.

We booked the Oriental Room as a one night getaway from kids and Humboldt House delivered! Our room was lovely and spacious with sunken jacuzzi tub, and king bed. It was quiet and was the therapy we were long overdue. There was even a CD player with a small selection of music - nice touch. Breakfast delivered to your room is a treat and just what you really want. The food was delicious and more than enough. You have key to your room and you can come/go as you wish. Its walking distance to most things downtown and they provide parking. - andreasinvancouver We stayed in late August for 3 nights to celebrate our Anniversary and did we make the right decision. It started when we walked in and our host Matt telling us that he upgraded us since it was our Anniversary, seeing a little bottle of bubbly and truffles waiting for us to THE best breakfasts that were delivered to our room via a dumb waiter! The room beautiful and elegant and very victorian, a canopied bed, deep tub bath for two and a table for two with fresh cut flowers by the window to eat breakfast on! Located only a few blocks from the Empress & Parliment buildings and abutted to a park/old nunnery it was really quiet in the night yet so close to all the attractions and restaurants. We didn't use our car once. Thanks to all the people at Humbolt House that made our stay special. We will be back... - Bradley051 A place where you feel so at home and welcomed. Matt the manager was a jewel, the location was a 10++ in walking distance to everything, our breakfast was a 10++ we did not want to leave. we will be back, we hope every year.

It is like an oasis of peace and quiet where we could thoroughly unwind in our month long trip. The breakfasts were beautifully presented like a work of art served with crystal and silverware. And it all tasted so good!!!  A full meal to keep you going while sightseeing in the area. Linda was willing to give us ideas of what to visit and how. We can highly recommend this lovely place to anyone needing accommodations in this area - E4834JZnormad Traveling to Vancouver Island on a cold, windy, wet day leaves the traveler seeking comfort. Upon being  greeted by our hosts Linda and Stewart we knew we had found that comfort zone.  Our suite was spacious with a large bathroom and a sitting area. We had extra quilts  and cozy robes. We were very pleased to discover that while situated in a quiet wooded neighbourhood we were close to highway access to ferry.  We had an early ferry on departure day and Linda and Stewart were kind enough to prepare a beautiful breakfast before we had to head back out into the winter weather. A lovely place with generous hosts. - clairevT1916GH Linda and Stewart were incredibly gracious going entirely out of their way to make us feel like their mansion was ours.

I had just arrived the night before in Victoria after travelling over 24 hours straight from Europe. As a treat and to fend off jet-lag I went to the spa and thought I'd gone to heaven for a few hours. It's a beautiful location and the views of the ocean are wonderful. The decor was soothing and I think had a French neo-classical influence. I had a facial, massage, manicure and pedicure (with the wax treatment) - the atmosphere was intimate, private and the experience was very relaxing. The music and refreshments were also well chosen and added to the feeling of being pampered. I highly recommend both the spa and B&B. I know I'll be back! - Guide5815 Hotel Info * 5097 Lochside Dr, Victoria, British Columbia V8Y 2G2 Canada 10. Birds of a Feather Victoria Ocean Lagoon B&B Nearby restaurants: * La Roux Patisserie * Legislative Dining Room * Saveur Restaurant Nearby attractions: * Axe and Grind * Russell Books * Inner Harbour Let’s see how people review this hotel Peaceful and hospitable Mental health and stress is something affecting us all, and our stay at this tranquil oasis was a wonderful de-stressor. You wake up to peace and quiet with the sounds of birds singing. The lake-sized lagoon is a migratory bird sanctuary where you can also take their canoe out and explore. We paddled next door to Hatley Castle!  On another day we used the bikes to cycle the galloping goose trail through the woodlands and farm fields in Metchosin.  The accommodations are first class as is Paphada’s and Dieter’s hospitality. One of the mornings of our stay they even surprised us with delicious home-baked blueberry muffins twice the size of a regular muffin. The setting, and building is simply perfect and beautiful. Many local restaurants and food delivery services. We especially enjoyed the water and nature views soaking in the hot tub on cool evenings - well worth the extra cost and exclusive to the honeymoon condo.  What an amazing place this is. It’s an easy escape from Vancouver and we’ll definitely be back! - NathanEStephenson We booked 2 days and thankfully were able to extend our stay after our kids asked us to stay longer.  They made good use of the kayaks and paddle boards. There is a full kitchen in the family condo which along with the BBQ made for some very enjoyable meals. We also opted for the reduced “No Breakfast” rate which worked perfectly for us as our teens are not early risers. It was perfect to have this option. Paphada and Dieter were very kind in also allowing our friends who live in Victoria to join us for meals and visits around the evening campfire. The entire place is spotlessly clean and very well kept. Communication by text was very quick and helpful. We particularly enjoyed the privacy this one-of-a-kind B&B gave us, more like a hotel than a B&B but without so many other guests. The free EV charging station also gave us peace of mind. This place was so peaceful and the birds are fun to watch. Being about 20 minutes from the busyness of downtown which one could see across the harbour was ideal. It’s a pleasure to highly recommend Birds of a Feather. - kristinabE9064AX We booked the 3 of the condos for 10 days with our family of 10 meeting up from Ontario, California and Alberta. Innkeepers Paphada and Dieter were exceptionally pleasant, attentive and helpful. This is not your parents' B&B where you are staying in someone's house, nor in common areas where the Innkeepers also live. This is a uniquely purpose built B&B with 3 condos on the 2nd floor of their private residence. We had private entrances and enjoyed many common areas outdoors where we enjoyed meals and visits. We also made good use of the BBQ. We were told ahead of time we could book with, or without breakfast at a reduced cost. We were told this is an option to address both rising food costs, and waste as guests don't always show up for breakfast. Even though we opted to try different local eateries our rooms were still stocked with yogurts, juices, coffee, fruit, granola bars, cereals, oatmeal, and milk. On some mornings they even surprised us with freshly baked over-sized muffins that were to die for. We told Paphada she should open a muffin shop! There was a perfect balance between the Innkeepers communicating in real time by texts and yet not being in "our space" where you thought you were in intruding in someone's home.  When we asked for fresh towels they arrived instantly. Our teenagers loved the courtesy canoe and kayaks right a their dock. My son-in-law played his guitar at the campfire. The place is spotlessly clean and magical in a postcard setting. We were sad to leave, however, we’re already planning to book again for 2024! - KatarinaMaria Hotel Info * 206 Portsmouth Dr, Victoria, British Columbia V9C 1R9 Canada 11.

The suite was gorgeous exactly as  shown in the photos online. The beds were super comfy. The enormous deck with the view of the harbor was a bonus to chill on on weekends. All info on the suite is documented in a binder and if I had any additional question the wonderful hosts Rod and Melissa of City Life suites were available. The location is great in the heart of china town. Its walking distance to everything. The best coffee of ever is across the street at Habit. Harbor Air, the Empress, and Government Street are minutes away,  Grocery Markets and restaurants are all within steps. One of my fav places to grab brunch was Boom and Batten just across the Johnson St Bridge. My coworkers also rented suites from City Life suite in various downtown locations and had great experiences. I can highly recommend City Life Suite for your next stay in Victoria. - lmcarson We thorougly enjoyed our stay with City Life Suites in Victora last winter. We stayed in two suites in the middle of downtown; everything was within walking distance so no car was needed. Stayed in the Paroramic Suite and the Nexus Suite.. Rod and Melissa were extremely helpful; they even helped move our belongings and groceries  from one suite to the  other. Both suites were full stocked; we lacked for nothing! They deserve a 10 out of 10 for their efforts and the condos that they rent! - Adventure566421 I am writing this review into the 2nd week of our 2 month stay. Our unit is The Cosmopolitan located in the Era building on Yates St. We are very impressed Excellent downtown location - walking distance to everything; 75 steps to the Odeon Theatre; 150 steps to the Liquor Store and an exceptional Asian Restaurant; across the road from a nice pub with terrific Happy Hour specials. A modern, posh, quiet, very secure, immaculate building. Our unit is bright, exceptionally clean and very well kitted out.  The attention to detail is impressive.  The bed is sooooooo comfy. Melissa & Rod are very charming and accomodating. I am known as a bit of a "fusspot" and can be very discerning.  If I could provide a 10/5 rating, I would with no hesitation.   Highly recommend City Life Suites. - newtonp1026 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (778) 655-4136 * 751 Fairfield Road, Victoria, British Columbia V8W 4A4 Canada 12.

We are a couple with an older son who lives in Victoria, and the two bedrooms with their own separate bathrooms were perfect for us.  We ate in (why we rent condos) and the kitchen is just fantastic, with everything to cook or bake at your disposal.  We made great use of the covered terrace with the widows opened.  The BBQ is hooked up to the city gas so there is no chance to run out ! Parking looked daunting at first but there is ample room in there, and this is parking that is right behind the unit, close to the back stairs, so no need to get through the side (main) entrance with luggage and groceries. All in all, a perfect place, close to the ocean and 2 blocks from Beacon Hill park, within the super quiet James Bay area.  A perfect place to go …. We will certainly go back if the need arises ! - 897benoitd We visited in July 2019 and had a lovely time. The apartment is spacious with beautiful new furnishings, a porch to watch the people go by, and even an enclosed back patio where you can have your breakfast in the sun (or even when it's raining!). Easy to walk to all of the downtown sights, and also to Beacon Hill Park. The apartment is only steps away from a waterfront trail that leads to the park and to the cruise ship harbor. The owner is very nice, stopped by to make sure everything was okay, and obviously takes great care of the place. Highly recommended! - P5192CBbarbarah Menzies Manor is in a great location with Beacon Hill Park and Downtown in easy walking distance.  Food shops a block away and the apartment had everything you could need to either prepare a meal or heat up something from the deli.  The apartment was very clean, spacious and well equipped. Very reasonably priced.Highly recommended! - fryfam Hotel Info * 19 Menzies St, Victoria, British Columbia V8V 2G1 Canada 13. oTENTiks at Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site Nearby restaurants: * La Roux Patisserie * Legislative Dining Room * Saveur Restaurant Nearby attractions: * Axe and Grind * Russell Books * Inner Harbour Let’s see how people review this hotel We had a few nights booked for our family of 5 during the month of September. Having never stayed on a National Historic site we didn't know what to expect. Well honestly this stay outdid even our most optimistic hopes. We had the entire site to ourselves after the gates closed at 5! Eat dinner at the top of the gun battery overlooking the Inlet? Done! Let the kids walk down to the oldest lighthouse on the West Coast of Canada while we made hot chocolate using the provided camp stove, propane, mugs and kettle? Done! Go exploring the bunkers and walkways in dark with a flashlight for a spooky adventure? Naw the kids were too chicken. The Otentik itself was cozy and super clean and when it got a bit chilly we plugged in the little heater that came in the tent and we warmed up. None of us wanted to leave so the staff generously allowed us to extend our stay by shuffling their own work schedule! Just can't say enough about how great it was. Bring your sleeping bags, cooler, food and some wine and the rest is there. Million dollar experience for a hundred and twenty. - mlH3853TT Try Glamping! A little glamor with a little of the rugged camping. This historic world war 1 and 2 museum Provincial Park offers an insight to what the brave men and women of Canada lived like day to day during history most trying times. Our family stayed for 2 nights here, should’ve stayed longer, it was an amazing adventure. We had the whole entire park to ourselves nightly from 5:30pm that was closed off from the public to the following day when it was opened back to the public. We loved exploring all 3 off the battalions and walking to the light house to capture the sunset and enjoying the majestic views. Special thanks to Shauna, Jessica and the many staffs from Fort Rodd Hill Historic Provincial Park. You made our stays memorable and picture perfect. We will be back over and over again cause of the great work and great environment you bestow to the park - Ethosology This was our first overnight stay at Ford Rodd Hill and we loved it!  The site is beautiful with the historic battlements, the Fisguard light house and the surrounding pebble beach. These are available to just the oTENTik dwellers from 5pm to 10am when the park is closed to other visitors (for our stay only 3 tents were occupied for a total of 11 people).  Site #1 has a picturesque view of the water through trees.  There is also a group of deer living in the area (we saw seven in the field in the morning) and other small wildlife (geese, owls, raccoons). The accommodations are basic but we loved that we didn't have to bring a tent and lots of camping gear to have the camping experience. I agree with a previous reviewer that it gets cold at night in September so definitely bring extra blankets and even a thermal camping pad to sleep on to keep your back warm.  Food needs to be eaten outside and stored in the building across the field to keep the raccoons out of the tents. There are fridges, bins for dry goods and even a microwave for a fast heat-up. There are also two large gas BBQs and a covered area for eating. - Almira201 Hotel Info * 603 Fort Rodd Hill Rd, Victoria, British Columbia V9C 2W8 Canada

Movietown Plaza. My stay was pleasant and the staff was super friendly. The recent updates to the room gave a warm cozy feel. My room attendant was amazing and made my 12 day stay feel as if each day was the first day there by doing an impeccable job cleaning and little touches to feel welcomed. Thank you Sherieda.

Jason"—jabirdiee "Had a wonderful and memorable stay. Stellar customer service. The staff really exemplified the warmth of the Caribbean. Joleesa was kind and attentive, so courteous and ensured we were always comfortable. She went above and beyond to facilitate us. The room was clean, spacious and intimate. A beautiful, amazing view from your room's balcony. Great location and amenities. The highlight for me really was the staff. Again, excellent customer service!"—Neressa D "Our stay at Marriott's was amazing, service was excellent. Friendly and accommodating staff. Rooms was immaculate, food was great. Room service was also excellent. I took another family with me at your Hotel and they was amazed of the service received at Marriott's. I was at the Hotel in 2016 and returned in 2020 recently and there have been mass improvement with the ambiance and re-modelling of the facility. Due to Covid-19 there were many restrictions, but your staff made it very comfortable for our stay. I must acknowledge a few members of staff who displayed professionalism and exceptional customerservice: Dinelle Rivers, Rachael Simon, Saloi Humphrey, Gina Wayow-Manning, Jolessa Lopez.

I pre- booked a private car from Asia gardens to collect us at the airport, and although we were delayed by nearly 2 hours our driver was still there to collect us on arrival. This cost was 115 euros but worth every penny, greeted immediately with complimentary water and a 35 minute drive in an air conditioned car We arrived quite late so checked in and got our head down to explore the grounds the following day. Asia gardens is in a microclimate so we enjoyed temperatures of 27+ each day The grounds were well spaced out with a very calming relaxed feeling, although there were some children there this was well thought out with designated family and adult only areas Breakfast was a vast buffet selection each morning and set us up for the day Plenty of on resort restaurants to choose from for evening dinner, and piano champagne bars also secluded, tranquil setting with the option to head into Benidorm if you wish (around 15 mins and 15 euros in a cab) Favourite evening meal had to be the Koh Samui - lovely food, and fantastic service, followed by drinks at the bonsai bar, great atmosphere and great service We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Asia Gardens and Ed have already recommended to our friends and family ….

Loved cycling into Estapona and the guys at the sports centre were always really friendly and helpful.Spa treatments very good, if pricey.Very difficult to book restaurants which was frustrating, but a small niggle in a stay that was otherwise very niggle free."—viross5000 "First time at Ikos, top notch experience across everything - welcome, rooms, food, restaurants, housekeeping and amazing service.

We decided to eat there because of the ratings here on Yelp. It didn't look like much, just some local Indian eatery.  The first time we went, couldn't even get in! So we made reservations for the following night. Oh my God, it was so much better than I expected. The food was wonderful. Some of the best Indian food I've eaten since I was in India 15 years ago. Also, if you have peanut allergies (like I do), there are many dishes they can make without the peanuts. And they're careful about cross contaminating dishes. I had absolutely no problem. The restaurant staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. If you eat dinner, I recommend making reservations. Lunch may well be the same way, so again, I recommend giving them a call. It is worth it. Wonderful food and a good staff in a small & delicious local Indian eatery.” — G. R. “We stopped here for a quick dinner on my last night in Melbourne. It was cold and rainy outside. The restaurant was full of people and there were a couple of small tables outside. The place is not large but seems to use space efficiently. The girl at the counter said we could sit outside or, if we wanted there was a table for two that we could have for 45 minutes inside. We sat inside, ordered quickly and we're served quickly as well. The food was really tasty and we finished in about 46 minutes, not really feeling rushed, but they definitely wanted the table back for the reservation. We had the chaat platter and mixed grill... to get a sampling of their offerings in our limited time. The tandoori chicken was really excellent. I suggest making a reservation. Also, my cell phone had just about zero reception once we hit the small alley where this place is located, so be aware if you're trying to meet someone there.” — Doug B. “tasty Indian food but very small portions. I got the chicken tikka tandoori and there were only a couple small pieces of meat for $16. My friend had the bhel puri, samosa chaat, and mango lassi and enjoyed everything but found the food to be a little too spicy.” — Izzy W.

Happiness is... Having Breakfast in Madrid!

Happiness is... Having Breakfast in Madrid!

8 restaurants for breakfast you should try in Madrid. 1. Chocolatería San Ginés The bar has a nostalgic atmosphere, recalling the cafes of the late nineteenth century. It has two floors, each furnished with traditional white marble tables. At the tile-covered counter, visitors can have chocolate with churros, any other soft drink or coffee accompanied by pastries in the traditional way. Its opening until the wee hours of the morning makes it possible for people to gather for breakfast of different types. Food popular here * churros con chocolate Let’s see how people review this restaurant "An institution in Madrid, at San Gines you get to eat amazing chocolate and churros and because it has been operating since 1894, the atmosphere of a classic cafe is fabulous.The chocolate is not too bitter. My tip is you wait a few minutes before eating so it cools/thickens just a little and clings to the churro better. A child of mine said you need maximum chocolate adhesion. (Science word of the day)"—Hart P. "Chocolate con churros are definitely a treat though because they're very heavy and have a certain taste to them that lingers in your mouth for a while, but it's definitely worth it if you're ever in Madrid. Definitely recommend coming with friends so you guys can share!"—Jenny T. "You simply cannot visit Madrid and not stop in at San Gines. This is the perfect place for that mid afternoon snack when you want to rest your legs and enjoy something sweet. My go-to is always the "churros con chocolate," that is a mug of thick chocolate and churros."—Patricia G. Restaurant Info * Mon - Sun ,24 hours * https://chocolateriasangines.com/ * 913 656 546 * Pasadizo de San Ginés, 5 28013 Madrid Spain 2. Toma Café Their obsession is to take the cafeteria out of its normal context, and to take it to places where you would never expect to find it. The Espresso Bar is dynamic and adaptable, and can be adapted to suit your needs. Whether you're opening a store, launching a product at a fair, or catering for a shoot, they can be there to provide great coffee. Food popular here * Cold Brew Toque * Ice Latte * Salted Caramel Latte Let’s see how people review this restaurant "So cute and excellent options! Definitely recommend the chai latte and the brownie.

The staff could not have been more accommodating, friendly or professional. Every single person from the front desk to the breakfast staff were welcoming and personable. Sightseeing and dinner recommendations were perfect and enhanced our stay. The rooms are clean, well-appointed and modern. We had a small issue of a slow drain in the shower and it was fixed immediately with apologies for the inconvenience.

On our check out we were gifted with 4 coasters and a polaroid. 100% recommended!!” — Diana M “The stay here was fantastic. Every one was really nice and helpful!

The rooms are very spacious, which is rare in Japan, we had a lot of space! The ryokan amenities are great, especially the public baths, excellent to relax after a day of touring Kyoto. The building is clean and well preserved. The attention to details is fantastic, as everyday you get little treats like tea and cookies. The staff also was very friendly and polite. The location is convenient, close to a subway station and bus stops, and there are several restaurants nearby, but still in a quiet neighborhood. Maybe a bit distant from the most important Kyoto's landmarks, but still easy to move in the city using public transportation.” — Diego M “We had a delightful few days at this lovely ryokan. Service was super friendly and welcoming. The room was cosy and traditional (futons on floor, with thick, warm duvets). The location is great, just a short walk to a quiet station which will take you to Gion and Pontocho in a few stops. The same train line also links to local routes which will take you to several of the less busy temples. If you are lucky enough to be here for the autumn leaves as we were then you should see Enkoji and Shisen-do (they are next to each other): sublime! Many thanks to Sawaya Honten for a memorable stay in Kyoto.” — cwdbrighton “We stayed there for 11 nights and very much enjoyed it. This was our first Ryokan experience and we would go back there anytime. The place is clean and the owner was friendly and accommodating. It is located in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance of the subway line and bus stop.

Huge private hot tub made with hinoki wood was the most exciting part of this room. Two rooms were in good size and beddings ,mattress and futons were in excellent condition. Staffs were very helpful and fluent in English as well. Great service, great breakfast (as we did not choose dinner option) and more than great bath.” — hkjerry “This homely ryokan exudes a warm welcoming feeling with its super comfortable futons, yummy breakfast and friendly staff. Prices are steep but worth every cent. We walked to all the major scenic spots in Arashimaya and enjoyed the crisp fresh morning air. Will most certainly come back here when we next visit Kyoto.” — raykuan “Food, hospitality, and location were incredible. The location could not have been better. We ate dinner over looking the mountains, river, and bridge. And the private onsen..... so relaxing. This was one of our most expensive excursions while in Japan but it was worth every penny to experience this traditional Japanese inn. We had SO MUCH food and were so relaxed.

Food popular here * Special Braised Pork Over Rice Bento * Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea * Grilled Chicken Steak Let’s see how people review this restaurant “Taro milk tea with tapioca is my go-to flavor for bubble tea. This place does it right. Very popular spot in Chinatown a few blocks from the Chicago Chinatown gate. It was a little extra thick and the tapioca balls were nice and chewy.” —Dennis D. “If you watched YouTube you might think they are still located in the underground food court in Chinatown but that is not true. They have moved a few blocks away but  still close enough to walk to. We parked in the public parking lot and walked there to grab some boba drinks and you can't forget the popcorn chicken! My wife and I got the Taro Milk tea and the brown sugar boba drink along with their popcorn chicken spicy level. The boba drinks were great! You can adjust the ice and sweetness level. We both just got regular sweetness and ice. The drink were satisfying, we ate the popcorn chicken on our drive back to Milwaukee. I would definitely go back and try their other drinks and food items.

And their beef noodle soup has these really tender beef shank pieces that melt in your mouth. The owners are there every day and are super friendly.” —Justin H. “Wonderful comfort food for carry out.  Their package the noodles separately for their spicy beef noodle soup so it doesn't get soggy.  Rice with pork and their chestnut chicken dish were perfect for the fall weather.  We always get the popcorn chicken and sticky buns.  Looking forward to picking food there again.  And they use paper boxes whenever possible which is wonderful!!!” —Yvonne Y. “This is a great dinner spot!

Love the option that you can combine flavors into one bowl. This dessert is super refreshing and very fruity. The shaved ice is more of a shaved milk which is so nice as it adds onto the creaminess of this treat. In addition, they have syrups of the flavors you get on top of the fruit which is very natural tasting and not artificial. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the city for bingsoo! A perk is that they have a free small parking lot if you're able to find a spot if it's not already full!” —Kelly L. “TSAoCAA's snowflake ice transports you to the night markets of Taiwan. Soft, creamy, cloud-like shaved ice melts in your mouth. The aesthetic is super instagrammable. Perfect for cooling off in the summer heat or a meal (they also serve Korean fried chicken). The only downside is their AC is not as strong but it makes the snow that much more enjoyable” —Phoebe C. “This was my go-to place in Chicago! My favorite fruit teas I had in Chinatown, hands down. My favorite I kept coming back for was the grapefruit rose oolong tea and I always adde lychee jelly :) Please come check it out!” —Eve T.

Walk-in and place your order on a kiosk, tip is automatically applied to order (but can be adjusted), place order, give it about 3-5 minutes, and your drink will be ready. My first time ordering bubble tea, grabbed the Matcha with Mango boba, and while I would have liked the matcha just a pinch sweeter, I would def order it again. Mango was delish.” —York P. “I've walked by Vivi Bubble Tea a million times and yesterday I finally decided to give them a try. So happy I did! We ordered the honeydew milk tea with bubbles and Oreo crème brûlée milk tea with bubbles and both were so good!! Bubble tea can be either hit or miss and this place is definitely a hit! The honeydew had the perfect amount of sweetness but could have used a bit more honeydew flavor. The Oreo crème brûlée was unlike any other milk tea I've ever had. So flavorful and such a unique taste! The Oreo and smooth milk tea flavors are a perfect combo. Will definitely be ordering this again!” —Salina R. “I ordered for the first time today from Vivi bubble tea. Normally, I go for a Taro tea (slush if available) but I decided to try something new. Instead, I ordered a thai milk tea, full sweetness, full ice, with boba. It was delicious! I would definitely recommend Vivi they were super quick and I'm looking forward to trying some other flavors soon.” —Rebecca K.

Food popular here * Japanese Matcha Strawberry Latte * Brown Sugar Bubble Tea Latte * Assam Milk Tea Let’s see how people review this restaurant “4.5/5, rounded to 5/5 Is boba just better outside of Chicago? These boba places seem to indicate it's a possibility. I loved the tea flavor, the fact that it was not overly sweet. I especially loved the brown sugar tea latte, and I only tried a few sips. The tapioca was only okay, but the rest of the drink was very solid. Highly recommend!” —Peter S. “Fun little hangout in downtown Evanston, I ordered an egg waffle original and matcha. Crunchy, chewy center and enough flavor to snack on it's own. Especially the matcha flavor. I also tried the black sugar tea boba and I was delighted that it was customizable, I asked for less sugar and it was perfect for me.  The lunch bentos look great, I will have to go again for more of the menu. I only wish parking was easier around there, and they didn't have my favorite coffee boba, but the black sugar tea was very nice.” —Brianna P. “This place so far is my favorite bubble tea spot in the North Shore. Everything is so customizable to fit your preferences! The milk is real milk and not powder. You can pick what type of milk you want to add and the sweetness of the drink.

My vegetarian friends also enjoy their food very much. I don't remember what they got though.” —Lily W. “This is my go to spot for lunch! They have great combos and so many different options for boba. The chicken steak is to die for and so are the fish balls! Staff is super friendly too. Definitely one of my favorite boba places.” —Geneva R. “Hello Jasmine is one of my favorite boba places in Chicago. I'm so glad a Lincoln Park location finally opened up so I don't have to make a long haul all the way to Chinatown to get some boba. My go-to boba is their brown sugar milk tea (50% sugar) and their peach green tea. Tapioca is always fresh and chewy. If you're hungry, I recommend getting some of their popcorn chicken. Tasty and hits the spot every time! The shop itself has self-service counters. Staff follows COVID-19 guidelines and wears masks at all times. P.S. Students get a 10% discount (bring an I.D.)” —Bernadette D.

Decided to come on a whim after a concert at Hollywood Bowl. Sampled a few things and everything was yummy! The winner was the crab legs.. to to perfection and the sauce was Bomb! I need two orders next time! Drink is were delicious and beautiful!"—Loya A. "Great place, excellent Sushi and veggies - possibly the best eggplant I ever had, with the most excellent service and a great vibe. However, in their price range, they should devote a little more love to the bathrooms - and sadly, the wagyu was waaay to salty and overcooked - a no-go at $75. I will surely go again, and maybe they will improve and get five stars. They certainly have the potential for it, even by my high standards."—Guido K. "amazing! 10/10 highly recommend. the food, the vibes, the drinks- did not miss at all. my friends and i tried a little bit of everything and we had no complaints. i need to come back as soon as possible! only thing i will say is they should up their dessert game but other than that, the experience we had was perfect."—Amauri M.

Food popular here * Shiizakana * Zensai * Mushimono Let’s see how people review this restaurant "After trying for years to get reservations it was super exciting to finally get a table (we got it via waitlist and would recommend the same).  Not going to go course by course as stated many times the food is spectacular, with each course extremely well executed.  The couple of things that really stood out: duck liver macaroon and dashi were above any other variations I have had in the past.  My biggest complaint is I did not get more macaroons in the take home dessert.  The service was friendly and interactive and made you feel right at home.  Will definitely come back assuming I can get reservations again."—Erik L. "Still the best of the best! I actually think n/naka deserves a 3 Michelin star given the quality of Michelin star restaurants in LA (very low obviously). Best service, best food (both taste and the presentation). Love this season's menu, everything was pretty, besides my all time favorite abalone pasta, we tried this scallop yesterday that was very delicious! Everything else was good as usual, but that scallop really stood out! Please refer to pictures."—Jasmine J. "Every single bite was absolutely divine and delicious. From the outside it's unassuming in the middle of a neighborhood. Super quaint inside with 5-6 tables in total with nobody at the bar as it looked closed. Everything I ate was scrumptious and was so full at the end but had to finish everything. Really $$$ bit k guess that's what you pay for. Would go back for a special occasion."—Alice Y.

This was also my first time trying out Okonomiyaki and to be honest, I am glad that I did. The food was amazing. I definitely would go here again with my friends and family. For the price, you get a lot of food. Service is not bad as well."—Arthur C. "I was curious about this place. The okonomiyaki I feel like was alright. I've had better ones. The takoyaki was pretty good if you like the inside to be a little more running/watery side. I feel like the price for the food is on the more expensive side, but I wasn't quite impressed by the flavors of the okonomiyaki. Nevertheless, it's a nice shop for Japanese street food and I'm glad it's available."—Helen Y. "I went with the classic, and was grateful that they were more than accommodating of dietary restrictions and were willing to make the okonomiyaki vegetarian by excluding meat, and even asked if the fish powder was okay for me or if they should remove that as well. It was definitely something different for me, but the crispy noodle with the egg and cabbage and sauce was a really delicious lunch. Everyone I was with loved their meals as wel."—Daniel B.

Would definitely recommend!"—Sadi K. “We had our date night here. We didn't drink but we ordered a lot of food. All dishes are flavorful and recommended! Super delicate and tasty! Please order the yuzu sparkling drink! Will definitely come back again!"—Paige M. “It was mid-afternoon and we were really hungry. Hatch had an intriguing menu, so we hoofed it over there with the help of the maps app. Our waiter walked us through the menu explaining that the plates were for sharing and each person should order 2-4 yakatori skewers. My personal faves were the black chicken karaage and the onigiri. I was, however, disappointed in the lack of seaweed on my grilled onigiri despite the illustration in the menu which was wrapped in seaweed.”—Allie C.

The YAZAWA experience is dedicated to serving the best WAGYU beef Japan has to offer. Food popular here * YAZAWA - Yaki * Beef Tongue * Garlic Japanese Wagyu Rice Let’s see how people review this restaurant "One of my favorite Japanese BBQ places in LA. We got the base set meal, which comes with a trio of appetizers and meats. We ordered a side of the garlic rice (highly recommend). The waiter was busy so we grilled the meats ourselves, which meant some of the meat ended up over cooked or undercooked. However, service has always been great here in my experience. The meat is always fresh and well seasoned. However, I always recommend getting additional sides/salad/rice as the food is very heavily and oily. Parking is easy with street parking and public parking lots."—Brian C. "They are famous for the A5 Japanese Wagyu Beef. Their A5 is not frozen, really good, very fresh. The sad thing is that due to US Customs and regulation reasons, they don't have A5 beef tongue and harami. But the US ones are also good enough. The oxtail soup and the special rice are really good too, great compliments with the A5 course. Here is my advice for someone who thinks A5 is too fatty, try their shabu shabu store called IMA, which is right next to yazawa."—Skye S. "This place is worth every penny. My fiancé and I came here for our anniversary and we each got the Yazawa Omakase. The meat is amazing and literally melts in your mouth!! Would recommend to everyone.

8 French restaurants in Auckland that always got my attention

8 French restaurants in Auckland that always got my attention

"Impossible n’est pas français." in Auckland, New Zealand. 1. Crêpes A Go-Go This shop is the perfect place to come and take the time to eat a fabulous crêpe on the spot. You will be able to seat and relax here while enjoying your treat! The shop offers a wide variety of both sweet and savory crêpes, so there's something for everyone to enjoy. The friendly staff are always on hand to help, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect place to sit back and enjoy your crêpe. Food popular here * Banana loving Crepes with NUTELLA * Pear Nutella and nuts * Sun dried tomato and mushroom galette Let’s see how people review this restaurant “In the Ponsoby area, this is the perfect place to grab a quick snack or a light breakfast before you get going. They have a small stall in the food market and an expansive menu of sweet and savory crepes. I went with a simple passion fruit curd crepe, while my boyfriend was more adventurous with a maple and bacon topped crepe. The base crepe is thin, light, and only just slightly sweet (which I think is pretty good, as far as crepes go). The passion fruit curd was delightfully tart and was, in my opinion, a perfect topping. To add even more to your experience, they serve the crepe on a wood block with a dainty pizza cutter for what can only be described as an instagram-able plating experience.” — Laura S. “I think half the fun is watching the creeps be made. It's like an art in itself. The only other place I've had a crepe was in France, and these were just as wonderful. The only downside is having too many options. No matter what I were to choose, there'd be someone ordering a different sweet or savory that I'd wished I'd ordered. In this case, I was craving something sweet and got the strawberrys and caramel Nutella...then saw the "savory" ham, cheese, egg and carmalized onion one my brother bought and wanted to switch when he wasn't looking. I guess the solution to my dilema would be to go in a group and order a bunch of sweet or savory, then share. The location of Crepes a gogo is right on the water and in the middle of everything so you can also order pizza or nachos right next door and make a meal of it all.” — Laura C. “I love this place ! I go here often, especially  when I am on the run and needing somethin quick and easy. It was the last & first place I visited when I travelled overseas for a few months... I missed it THAT much.” —Keryn F. Restaurant Info * https://www.crepesagogo.co.nz/ * 021 952 323 * 136-138 Ponsonby Rd Ponsonby Central Auckland 1011 New Zealand 2. The Engine Room They always cook with seasonal ingredients, sourcing them from local growers or growing them themselves whenever possible. While using high-quality produce and employing skilled cooking techniques are essential to creating great dishes, they believe that the best meals are also about the overall experience. Every dish is inevitably connected to a memory, such as where you ate it, who you were with, the surroundings, the weather, or the ambience. All of these factors contribute to the taste of a dish. Food popular here * Rabbit rillette * Confit duck with grilled peach, Israeli Couscous and babaganoush * Cheese soufflé Let’s see how people review this restaurant “We took the ferry from Auckland to Northcote and walked up to the Engine Room. What a great spot! As expected, We thoroughly enjoyed the soufflé as a starter. For our mains, we had the duck (delicious) and the snapper (fine but not out of this world). We split the panna cotta for dessert, which was amazing! The wine list tended toward the pricey, but we found a Pinot Gris that we both enjoyed.” — Jason L. “Everything they say about the twice baked goat soufflé is true! A classy local joint for a romantic dinner or a culinary trailer for a Bridgeway cinema experience. Great cocktails and wine list and helpful staff. Worth a sunset trek over the bridge.” — Hiran T. “The Engine Room offers a great dining experience. It's not a formal, stiff, high end place with lots of carefully thought out areas and an excruciatingly well-paid interior designer. It is a high end restaurant with an open plan, a view into the kitchen, a chalk board menu, lots of ambience and amazing food. I had the Steak frites (steak and chips in French) which were absolutely to die for, followed by an extravagant chocolate dessert. Probably my daily food budget, both calorific and monetary, in one meal, but it was definitely worth it.” — Sarah B.

Food popular here * Salad,Sorbet, Freeze-dried elements: avocado, cucumber, sweet secrets * Faijoa, cardamom, raspberry, chocolate * Cucumber sorbet and cucumber slices Let’s see how people review this restaurant “I need to give 6 stars seriously. The food is so so good over my expectation. The 2 and half hour lunch ( well organised timing) I had fish, venison, beef and other 2 dishes for 5 course just cost me $65 dollars, unbelievable for the service and quality of the food! I go to good restaurants every year at my birthday for a good meal compared to those Michelin restaurants the cost of a great meal in Auckland is just 1/4. Last time went to Grove was great too a bit more fency but I like Sidart now , it's fantastic. Recommend for a special occasion you won't be disappointed. Love it.” — Pearl L. “I was really excited to finally try Sidart's Tasting Menu. The waitress was great. My partner and I had the 5 course and they gave us different dishes so we could try a bit of everything. The service was impeccable and the food almost as good as the waitress. Can't wait to go there again once their menus have changed.” — Evelyn W. “Phenomenal experience and food. Our server, Katie, was both very knowledgeable and professional. She also went out of her way to ensure our experience was as good as possible. The fixed menu is rotating so there's not much use in going into details on the food -- suffice to say everything was excellent. Would definitely recommend doing at least one wine pairing for the table as it really completes the experience.” — Aaron B.

Food popular here * Venison tartare * Deconstructed dessert * Canneloni of crab Let’s see how people review this restaurant “What else is there to say others have not already said? How about this? We were seated at the table right next to the pass and we were able to watch Chef Sid our whole meal. Great service and delicious food, a very pleasant experience all around. Great thing is that we happened upon this restaurant sort of by accident since it's hard to find on Yelp and did not come up in our search initially. Even better was that it was literally two blocks from our Airbnb. We ordered a la carte and were very pleased to be given four different amuse bouches to start. The service was impecable, food delicious and ambiance romantic. Great way to start a special anniversary trip!” — Betty C. “Armed with a very generous gift voucher we arrived at 'Sid at the French Cafe' to be greeted by a group of welcoming staff . Our table was in the gazebo area of the restaurant facing an internal garden court yard warmed by a fire and gas heaters. The waiting staff were amazing their polished appearance matched their attentive polished performance. We chose the four course meal after discussing portion sizes as the aim was to enjoy the food but not to excess. Each course contained the elements of taste , texture , colour freshness and in true Sid-Art style huge visual appeal. Good use was made of the on-site vegetable/ herb garden to enhance the plate. The whole experience was amazing and we could see the care , time and thought that went into every dish. Fine dining at its best. Wine selection was huge and international however we chose NZ, appropriate at this time. A place to go for a very special occasion.” —Sandra H. “I ordered their tasting menu. The snacks  are all good and I like the lettuce the most. The sauce for kingfish ceviche and butter poached crayfish is a little salty. The lamb was perfectly cool, right enough pink, juicy, yummy yummy~~” — Vivian Y. Restaurant Info * https://www.sidatthefrenchcafe.co.nz/ * 09 377 1911 * 210 Symonds St Auckland 1010 New Zealand 5.

Food popular here * Prawn with chorizo * Fish rubbed with black garlic, sweet corn puree, charred corn, and a clam * Stone fruit dessert course Let’s see how people review this restaurant “Huge kudos to the Grove's groovy team for going above & beyond, especially the kitchen team working hard behind the scenes & Megan(?) the sommelier. They have a great passion in each of respective fields, are knowledgeable & observant without being overbearing or pretentious, particularly when it came to explaining the dishes coming out of the kitchen. A warm ambiance, well balanced & presented dishes & a wine list that will make you feel like a child in a candy store- everything you want. My partner who doesn't like meringue, feijoa or licorice loved her absinthe flamed dessert, assembled at the table. The chef's choice petite degustation was flavoursome, exciting, filling & accompanied by delightful amuse-bouches. Thank you for making us feel extra special on our anniversary weekend, we will definitely return.” — Te Rangi R. “Perfect place to celebrate an occasion with your loved one. The grove is more of an experience rather than a restaurant. We sat at this place for around 3.5 hours mainly due to the way they serve food here and the type of degustation we chose. We went for the the full degustation was which was 7 courses. The courses were small so we didn't feel fed up by the end of it which was good. Between each course you should expect to spend between 5-10 min for the next course which is why I'm saying it's more of an experience here rather than a restaurant. Our favorite dishes were the fish (6th course) and the steak (7th course) plus the soufflé which was one of the three desserts we got. A bit pricey but worth it if you have a special occasion” — Khaled A. “THEIR BEEF FILLET IS THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD! Extremely tender and fresh. The service here is just excellent. We felt the pork belly is of too much fat and they quickly replace it with another off menu dish. Food here makes you feel the nature. They present you with the fundamental taste of each ingredient. Overall a very good experience. Will definitely come again.” — Yubo Z. Restaurant Info * https://thegroverestaurant.co.nz/ * 09 368 4129 * Wyndham St St. Patricks Square Auckland 1010 New Zealand 6.

We popped in for a dessert crepe and a coffee. Service was prompt and very courteous. We had a crepe Mont Blanc with the poached pear and almonds. It was very delicious! I can't say much more since that's all we had but the rest of their menu looked very enticing!!” — Lucie W. “Jetlagged out of our minds we wanted a quiet breakfast/brunch w good coffee-This cute little place hit the spot. Relaxing, well located, pleasant service & one sweet one savory crepe for us.

Dinner was conveniently located near our hotel at VR Queen Street!” — Belle A. Restaurant Info * http://www.legardemanger.co.nz/ * 09 362 0655 * 466 Queen St Auckland 1010 New Zealand 7. La Tropezienne French Bakery - Browns Bay Food popular here * Chorizo sausage omelette * Religieuse Coffee * Palmier Let’s see how people review this restaurant “simple casual french foods made well. Their sandwiches run out the fastest... Lunchtime and there's only two flavours left. Next would be their desserts and pastries, those babies fly out the door. My favourites so far are the chocolate eclairs and basically all their sandwiches lol... their ficelle are simple ingredients but the bread makes it something else. Their chicken sandwich roll has the yummiest pesto inside and the bread for this was similar to a giant soft pretzel with rock salt on top... made the sandwich THAT much better... pretty much what im saying is, their fresh baked breads/goods are AMAZING. their Baguettes sell out fast so get in quick! That chocolate eclair though.... that chocolaty mousse like texture inside and the glorious puff pastry outside.. wow. i could eat 10 of those... i mean... that's what gym is for, right? Go earlier! like, before 11am to get all the REAL goodies that sell out super fast as these guys are ALWAYS busy no matter what time it is.” — Aimee J. “If you want to treat yourself to a good breakfast and a great coffee, then La Tropezienne French Café is the place to go on a Saturday morning. Don't let the parking lot front scare you off, once you're inside it is pure France. The smell of fresh baking fills the air, and the hot chocolate is almost mesmerizing. The pricing is not cheap, but the quality of the food is good, and after all it will be the atmosphere that will promote you to regular status. My favourite is the éclairs, but there are plenty of other desserts to choose from. What I liked about this place, was that I could bring my dog along, and we could both enjoy the sunshine outside.” — David M. “These days you can buy croissants and french sticks any old where! But it's not until you devour one from a genuine French bakery that you realize how unexceptional they are. La Tropezienne is exactly the place that makes you turn your nose up at run of the mill croissants from your average local bakery. My friends and I call it "The French Bakery" simply because we are too lazy to try and pronounce the name properly. Which is a bit sad as we all took French in high school. My first memory of La Tropezienne is actually back in my French class days. As part of our learning we were to venture to Browns Bay to experience food the way the French do it. We were also supposed to be practicing the language but who cares about that when you get to ditch school for a feed!?

Food popular here * Beef bourguignon * Madeleine * Duck liver parfait Let’s see how people review this restaurant “The north of Ponsonby eventually creates a decent place to dine. Yes you will attracted by the perfect transformed "Old Ponsonby post office" into a bistro Augustus, named for the postmaster, Augustus Edward Braithwaite. And it won't be too difficult for locals to find out this new venture is a contribution from SPQR Owner Chris and his daughter Courtney Rupe to Ponsonby vividness. Entering the high-ceiling lounge, expecting yourself in a tropical resort, surrounded by greenery with a courtyard extended your dining imagination. Perfect for most of Auckland's beautiful blue sunny days. In between, you will find yourself sitting in a cream and chocolate interior dressed in white linen.  Simple, smart and classy. Menu is focused in French bistro bites, you won't be surprised by meeting escargot, king crab cocktail, crab bisque, French onion soup, steak tartare. As for the main, from fish to pork belly, from Confit duck to veal cordon bleu, what's more you can even get treated by special Beef bourguignon,  beef wellington. Yes what more can you expect? Crab bisque serves warm with  a heap of white flesh in the middle with a hint of basil taste. However, I prefer they have it served in front of customers, just adding a sense of warmness. The duck liver parfait with wine jelly is a bit average and dull, if the toasted bread could be a better quality sourdough or baguette to pair with. Bread is pale speaking of a proper bistro for Augustus. However, this is soon saved by Beef bourguignon, which is perfectly done putting time and efforts in the whole dish. Every bite is enjoyable. Soft tender beef texture, crispy pancetta, juicy shallots, all the ingredients are cooked in a beautiful balance. They nailed this classic dish. Then the yellow belly flounder is comparatively  less scored even with its crab mayonnaise dressing. The rhubarb tarte tatin and creme brulee for dessert is a perfect choice for most people. I do go for a bit old-fashioned, the humble Madeleines with lemon curd and cream. Baked to order, within 7 minutes, it came out freshly to your tastebud. Trust me, you wouldn't find a better lemon curd to match this happy ending. Deserves a second and third visit, for sure, Augustus has more to come in the pipeline.We just wish the summer would never go away.” — Angel D. “Had lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere - beautiful old building. Friendly and attentive service. Decent food.” — Alison H.

Here are the 9 Best Korean Food Restaurants in Vancouver we recommend! 1. Sura Korean Cuisine SURA is a Korean restaurant in Vancouver that has been providing an excellent dining experience to food connoisseurs since 2008. The restaurant has a modern interior with a traditional Korean atmosphere. The food is authentic and contemporary Korean cuisine by master chef Sang-jo Han. Food popular here * Pork Belly * Set Course Ra * Kimchi Fried Rice Let’s see how people review this restaurant "We stumbled into Sura Korean Cuisine for a Saturday lunch not knowing anything about the restaurant.  A NYC dining experience at JUA turned us on to Korean food, but we had no idea how to order.  Fortunately, the 25 Canadian dollar set lunch took ordering out of the equation, and we told the kind and welcoming servers to bring it on. Holy Gopchang!  This set lunch was amazing.  Dishes kept arriving, and kept arriving, we didn't have enough room on the table.  I was bamboozled, having no idea this was what Sura's set lunch was all about.  We had no clue what was being served, but almost everything was delicious, and I mean orgasmically delicious.  Our favorites: The fried fish, Kimchi pancake, Spicy Sliced Pork, Potato Noodle, Deep Fried Fish, Deep Fried Sweet and Sour Pork, and Soy Bean Paste Soup.  My least favorite was the Pork Belly, but that's my personal taste.   Each server was infinitely patient with my multitude of questions. and I was overly excited about the food.  I had a wonderful time, and I loved the food.  Sura Korean Cuisine was a memorable dining experience."—Phil G. "Love it here. Came up to Vancouver for the day with a couple friends and this was our first stop. We ordered lots of little things, not to mention all the banchan, and our table was very eclectic. Cool decor on the inside and great for groups!"—Bennett S. ''Food was very delicious. Portions are good too, four dishes was just the right amount for five people. The meat was very tender, falls off the bone very easily, slightly sweet. Seafood pancake had the right amount of crunch. Bossam wrap had well seasoned pork belly.'—Pauline S. Restaurant Info * https://www.surakoreancuisine.com/ * (604) 687-7872 * 1518 Robson Street Vancouver, BC V6G 1C3 Canada 2.

Food popular here * Rice Bowl * Foie Gras * Korean Rice Cake Let’s see how people review this restaurant "This cute, hip place has my favorite cocktail of anywhere. Try the one eyed samurai and you will be forever changed. So delicious! Every time I visit Vancouver I hit up this place for this drink. It's always an enjoyable time to sit at the bar and sip on this watermelon flavored masterpiece. (And yes, you do have to go through a sketchy area to get there, but it's worth it.)"—Autumn M. "Frightening location. Amazing, fun, creative food that is designed with love and imagination. Here are the pro tips: 1) order the tasting menu 2) on a weeknight 3) at the very start of service (around 5 pm). 4) Sit at the kitchen window booth. We did this and got served by the restaurateur himself. He provided us amazing commentary on each course and it's wine pairing, including the personal stories of the vintners and their wineries. Expect unique, sometimes challenging dishes. That's the fun of it! This is a culinary adventure, not Tim Horton's. Disregard the obtuse, buffoonish negative reviews ( Crystal G.), PiDGiN is the real deal."—Ian K. "Amazing service, delicious cocktails, and incredible food. If you're visiting Vancouver, do yourself a favor: make a reservation here and do the tasting menu. The lamb sirloin was unbelievably good!"—Johnny M.

Food popular here * Spicy Pork Bulgogi * Short Rib Galbi * Beef Bulgogi Let’s see how people review this restaurant "My family and I loved this place so much we came here two nights in a row! We ordered the ox bone soup (both days), seafood pancake, tang suyuk, and the bossam. You get very decent portion sizes (especially the seafood pancake - it's huge and can easily feed 4 people) for the price. Their bossam is seasoned super well and is tender too. I came around 7pm both days and didn't have to wait too long (at most 10 minutes). It is pretty small and cozy inside so if you have a large party, so expect to wait a bit more. I'd definitely come back again, especially for their bossam! They also accept credit card here!"—Liona L. "Their portions are huge! The sundubu has a lot of tofu in their -- very generous! A lot of mushrooms on the vegetable soup as well. It cones with rice. I love their banchan too! When we were there they had the potatoes (in sweet sauce), kimchi, seaweed, and fish cake  they have freeflow barley tea."—Esther Y. "Seriously great place for lunch. Their food is delicious with decent portion size and variety of options on the menu that includes nice soupy options fitting for the cold weather. Covid measures wise, we had to leave our name/number at the front, vaccine passports checked, plastic hanging barriers between tables, QR code scan for menu, and servers masked up. Food wise, I got the Lunch Set Pork Bulgogi - Little Spicy and it was just enough spicy for me!  (I've tried Medium before and it was too much for me.)  The pork had good, strong flavors. The rice cakes was a good contrast on this dish to counter all the spice. I'm craving it again as I write this. As usual, it came with 4 complimentary refillable side dishes that were also delicious. My friend got the Duk Mandu Guk which came in a giant bowl filled with gyozas that she said was good but the beef broth was a bit underseasoned, but maybe intended that way. They have an online menu you can order take out directly from them too and choose your pickup time."—Mandy T.

Pass by them to grab some tacos on your way to the game, or come hang out on their outdoor patio with friends after a concert! Food popular here * Bulgogi Burrito * Spicy Rice Cake * Fried Chicken Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Food- delicious korean Mexican fusion, with variety of options. *Bulgogi burrito- good meal size. Looks small but heavy. Comes with a few chips, though were a tad stale. i would get this again. *3 tacos (shrimp, bulgogi and Kalbi) - prefer Bulgogi, meat soft and tender. Shrimp was lightly fried, slightly a little watery, but overall good,  Kalbi tasted similar to Bulgogi, but the meat was chewier. * rice cakes on the sticks- one soy, and one spicy. I can live without these carbs. If I can handle spicy, I prefer that one, slightly more flavor. Service- fair, nice. Ambiance - handful of seats, inside and outside. Though outside (Early April) was pretty cold and dirty at the time. Locations next to Chinatown train station, directly across from Rogers arena, facing Expo Blvd. Super easy by foot if you're in downtown. Less than a minute walk to Costco, so consider eating here with next Chinatown Costco trip! Value- fair! Recommend- YES!"—Helene L. "New to Korean fusion but I am a big fan of burritos. Tacofino has been a lunch time favorite of mine, but I wanted to try something new. Visited TAKO for the first time today intending to try the Bulgogi Burrito.  I ended up trying BBQ Short Rib Burrito on recommendation of the person serving me. I was very impressed! The BBQ Short Rib Burrito was big on taste and filling. I will definitely be back to try some of their other offerings."—Christian C. "Have seen a few stores that have done the Korean/Mexican fusion idea, but none in Vancouver that execute as well as TAKO. Nestled right by the south western entrance of Stadium Chinatown Skytrain Station, this place is great option for takeout on the way over to a meeting or on the way home. The bulgogi burrito is a nice balance of all the delicious Korean meats in flavours packed into a burrito (everything from kimchi, corn, lettuce, cheese + the meat of your choice). For $12 they are packing a lot into this meal and I was pretty content after one of these burritos I got to-go. Happy hour is 2-5pm from Monday to Friday, so if you're curious, you can try them out between these hours. They need to definitely think about adding kimchi fries for a perfect combo! Overall, great place for takeout due to close proximity to the Skytrain. Can't comment on the indoor dining experience but can say it's very convenient to pack while commuting -- no utensils required!"—Justin K.

Food popular here * Korean Fried Chicken * Lettuce Wrap * Fried Rice Cakes Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Good korean bistro vibe, really big dine in space indoors. The fried chicken was good and comes with fried rice cakes (which was actually my favourite part, more than the chicken!). The only thing missing are the amount of side dishes. They could have served them right at the beginning. But I get the side dishes only comes with the combo sets, which we got the Salisbury steak and pork. The combos also come with rice as well. Overall, not a bad spot for Korean bistro fair. I would go back again."—Bill L. "It was a great night with very delicious food,  warm and friendly staff and good prices.  We ordered 3 dishes. Big portions!   thank you"—Banafshe A. "You can't tell from the outside, but on the inside the place is gigantic. On the immediate left is a smaller more cozy dining area. Further in is a much larger and open dining area perfect for large parties and celebrations. Service was polite but not too efficient. Several times we were trying to flag down our server but had difficulty finding him. The food was tasty! piping hot and full of flavour. We will definitely return here!"—Allison K.

We were promptly seated and our server was polite and diligent. We ordered the combo for two and quickly had a plethora of sides brought to our table. Shortly after the meat was brought out and our server was laying it on the grill. A number of servers watched over us and helped us know when something on the grill was ready and got the next course started. The whole process was efficient. The sides were divers and delicious. The meat was flavourful and perfectly cooked thanks to the help of the wait staff. I definitely will be returning."—Adam S. "Love how they give 15 banchan (side dishes) when you order from their BBQ menu. Enjoyed the variety since most places only offer two or three (plus, they were refillable). We ordered the bbq combo so it came with the banchan and doenjang jjigae. We were beyond stuffed by the end of our meal. Service was also amazing because their staff was very attentive. Highly recommend you make a reservation if you come here because they can get really busy."—Nina T. "Loved it here. Incredible food and service. Our waiter was on top of all our needs (ie. replenishing the side dishes and changing the grill when it was getting too burnt). Price point was great for what you get and my whole family was stuffed and even had leftovers! This place is always busy and has line ups. Definitely the place to go if you're craving Korean BBQ!

Inside is pleasant to look at with all the various plants."—Kelcie Lei A. "Delicious! Nice decor, good service. Spicy dakgalbi was sooo good with mozzarella, served sizzling on a cast iron platter. Mandu gook dumplings were housemade and perfect consistency. Comes with many side plates of condiments. Such a great, flavorful meal."—Tom E.

The korean fried chicken wrap was delicious too."—Wilson L. "Before moving to Vancouver, I had heard so much about this place that I honestly wondered if the place can live UpTo the expectations and the buildup - it does and more. Their portions are amazing. I am not a tofu person but their Tofu rice bowl is finger licking good. There is not just rice but also edamame beans, pickled cabbage, greens and corn in it. I had also ordered their friend chicken and even that was delicious and super crispy. I would absolutely recommend checking out this place's tofu rice bowl if you are even in Vancouver"—Neha R. "Oh man! Some of the best karaage I've had in a long tome. Vancouver is well known for its Asian street food and cuisine and this is one of the places to go for just that.

"A bit of a wait (you have to scan their QR code to get onto the waitlist) but luckily there's the Candy Room nearby and some benches to pass the time! We were seated about 45 mins after. We ordered the pork belly BBQ and the dakbal. Both were delicious and the portion size was more than enough for 2! The dakbal was spicy but we kept going back for more. The staff were super friendly and didn't seem too frazzled even though the restaurant was insanely busy. Will definitely be back but will be more prepared for the wait."—Tram V. "We went on a Saturday evening and didn't have to wait for a party of 3 people. We order the pork feet and bossam set and the mushroom bulgogi hotpot. The pork feet was pretty spicy since we don't have good spice tolerance but it was really tasty. The bossam was alright, I think I liked the flavor and the texture of the pork feet more since it was softer and more flavorful. The hotpot was my favorite part of the food we ordered. The broth was light but had a lot of flavor. I added some rice into a bowl of broth and it was delicious. The meat and the mushrooms were also pretty good. We definitely got too much for a group of 3 people though so I think this would have been better for a group of four or maybe just get the hotpot for the group of 3 and something else. The price was really good for the amount of food we received. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're craving Korean food."—Alan Z.

I will bring my family to eat here, it has become one of my favorite places.” —Gloria M. “Summed up quickly, the best Mediterranean food I've had in awhile. They give you so much food and one platter us easily enough for 2 people. We left with so much leftovers. It does get a little confusing if you go order in person but you just go up to the counter and pick your entrees and sides. It seemed a little disorganized but the food more than made up for it. The Lamb Shank slid right off the bone, I highly recommend it.” —Justin N. Restaurant Info * http://www.aladdinshouston.com * (713) 942-2321 * 912 Westheimer St Houston, TX 77006 15.

Make pretty good coffee and drinks as well, and the deconstructed teas on the menu looked quite fun. We're excited to stop by the takeaway counter later for cakes and pastries.” — Bri P. “It helps to have a waitstaff who can give you recommendations. We had some wonderful food: grilled cuttlefish (very and perfectly spicy), a surprising and wonderful salad, the venison shoulder pappardelle, and then - a mediocre salted caramel dessert that we were honest about. So we were brought a much better cheesecake to make up for it ("I prefer this," he let us know) , and a lovely cappuccino. All of this for a very reasonable price and a splendid ambience.(And some unrequested advice: folks, put down your phones and talk to the person at the table with you. They're much more interesting than watching your little TV screen.)” — Dan S.
