Very hip and cool place, with a nice rooftop bar and a restaurant. The Crash Pad room was small but comfortable, which is all I needed it to be. Location is great if you want to be in the arts district.

The restaurant turns into a club at night, and it is loud til late if you aren’t the clubbing kind. Also - and this isn’t the hotel’s fault, of course - if you are counting on the Queen St tram to get you downtown, be sure to check beforehand to see if road construction is going to alter the route!

The Drake is fun and funky - a younger staff and clientele but we certainly don't feel out of place as mid-40 somerhings. The rooms are very comfortable, immaculate, have nice modern amenities, very comfortable beds, high quality linens, modern bathrooms, and very accessible. Lots of thoughtful details like many hooks, full-length mirrors, small bar fridge, Google chromecast on the TV, etc. The rooms aren't huge but they make excellent use of the space. The staff are overwhelmingly pleasant and helpful, and there is fantastic food, coffee and cocktails available at the restaurant and cafe in the hotel. We like the Parkdale neighborhood, close to great restaurants and bars on Ossington and walking distance to the ever changing shops and restaurants on Queen west. This was a weekday stay and the hotel was quieter than it usually is on weekends. It wouldn't be my first pick for a business trip if I had work to do at the hotel, but it's ideal for a leisurely escape to the city. I wouldn't pay rack rate, but it's good value at Booking.com prices.

We were expecting a good sized room based on the square footage, however about 1/3 of that space is a wide hallway leading to the main room, which was itself pretty small - not helped visually by the funky but very dark wallpaper. The window wasn't very big and provided limited natural light and view of tiny internal courtyard surrounded by other windows. There's no in-room coffee maker (however I got the best latte I've ever had at the cafe downstairs).

The 3rd floor quiet was definitely worth the $25 upgrade. Julia at the Front desk was THE BEST front desk / Reception personnel I have ever encountered. he is a huge asset to this hotel. MVP !!!

The lighting in the bathroom was not bright enough. We were never able to enjoy our complimentary drink tickets at the lobby bar, say for an after dinner drink, as it was closed.

The room was clean and thoughtfully decorated. Nice bathroom, I liked the products provided (hand soap, body wash, body lotion - because of my curly hair I used my own hair care products so can’t attest to those).

I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the warm / hot water in the shower. The outlet (where you turn the water on - sorry, I don’t know what they’re called in English) only turned in one direction and that seemed to regulate the amount of water coming out. I didn’t find any buttons or levered I could push / pull / turn to get the shower to tun warm water.

Room was decorated really well and bed was comfortable. Loved all the toiletries.

Would have liked a kettle in the room as I don't drink alcohol. Staff accidentally charged me again for the room when I checked in even though I had prepaid on booking.com. This was resolved very quickly though by another member if staff and refund came through promptly.

The staff was so helpful. They knew the area so well. When a needed a niche place to eat, they are ready with a great suggestion. The ease of staying there when you have a show at the Underground is matchless. I will definitely stay there again.

There is nothing I didn't like. It was a pleasure staying there.

This hotel exceeded my expectations and I only rented a crash pad (the smallest room I believe). Sure there were minor issues and I had issues with my partner, but the staff were almost all overwhelmingly positive and they went above and beyond to say the least!!! Beautiful place!!!

The property is beautiful!!!

Room style, all the amenities, room size and comfort, bathroom size.

It's confusing how guests access or book the on site restaurants and there is extremely loud music being played early in the morning which can be heard from some rooms which wasn't ideal.

Awesome art, cool aesthetic and a very convenient location. The staff was also cool and the food at the cafe was great.

i was in the classic wing unfortunately there wasn’t an elevator like what the Morden wing has.

We were expecting to have in our room a coffee machine and some coffee and tea, a small refrigerator, a Bluetooth alarm clock radio to listen to some music we have on our phones. These basic things are available in almost all hotels and motels.
