Deluxe Rooms are by far larger and more comfortable than Fairmont Gold Rooms, 500 sq ft vs 250 sq ft. I stay with Fairmont a lot and the old Canadian Pacific Properties are very grand. Staff is excellent. Restaurants offer decent food at a fairly high rate which you would expect at a hotel. The fireplace in my room is silly and its fake, they should just put a fern inside it. Housekeeping crew was great. I always tip them. The air conditioner was awful in 17-135. They tried to fix it twice. It was hot outside and the room was cooler but not cold. There was really nothing else I was unhappy with as I love Fairmont's high standards.

The location can't be beat. It's near the entertainment, arts, and business districts. Union Station is right across the street. The hotel interior is gorgeous. In a city of glass and steel the old stone/marble really feels nice. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My room was not renovated like some of the others mentioned by reviewers. The decor was dated but comfortable and good enough for the stay.

We were upgraded from 1 room - 2 queens size beds to a renovated 2 bedroom suite upon arrival! It was a special BD celebration so it couldn't have been a nicer surprise. The suite was gorgeous, with 2 king size beds, each room with separate luxurious ensuites, full living room, dining room and kitchen. The only problem was, we didn't want to leave to explore the city. The staff was exceptional. I'd come back in a minute and I'm in Toronto every day.

I very much like the fact that the UP Express is just across the street from the Royal York, making the trip to the airport just so easy. That convenience is such a bonus and should be a good part of your advertising.

Clean, staff were very courteous, location excellent (but the continuing roadworks along Front Street is a headache). Room size - Tiny room. We were informed that we were being upgraded but when we got there the room was tiny with a spacious adjoining bathroom. I would recommend that clients specifically ask about room dimensions when booking.
