not good at all
I would never stay at this hotel again and I don't recommend it. The room was very small and didn't even have a cabinet for clothes. The bathroom lacked basic amenities like a stand for toothbrushes or other products. After 2 AM, the door locks and your key card won't work, requiring you to contact someone to let you in, which is highly inconvenient. While the staff is nice, the hotel is overpriced at $500 a night given that it lacks standard facilities such as a gym, swimming pool, and parking. It's a joke for the price.

Great hotel in a lovely Toronto neighbourhood!
We had an amazing stay at The Drake! Staff were friendly and helpful and our room was something special, not your typical hotel room at all. Lots of thoughtful touches like water and a free snack and labels on all the switches to make it easy to use.

I travel extensively around the world in great hotels. I didn’t like the messy aesthetic of the property at all. Not sure what the hype about this property is. No parking. No coffee maker in room. Noisy fan and AC that is impossible to regulate. Very confusing. No shower pressure. Breakfast was good. Coffees however were cold. Won’t be back. Sorry

This place was beautiful and the staff was so kind at every stop of the way from check in to dining at the rooftop patio restaurant. Super unique hotel with the coolest art work. Definitely will be staying here when we come back, wish I had found it sooner.

Was not as advertised. Booked a room that stated it slept 3 - it slept 2. The cot provided was a lawn chair with sheets, no pillow or blankets. There is no parking available at the hotel. We were also charged the same fees twice with the refund taking 7-business days. Do not recommend.

Loved the location & the cost! Took a while to get a staff's attention at night since I had to check in super late after my flight. But once I got into the building, I was able to check in very easily. Room was clean & comfortable. Would stay here again!

Too expensive for what you get.
The positives: The location was good and the room was clean. The negatives: tiny room, queen sized bed, air conditioner did not work despite using controls in the room, no convenient parking. And all for $725 CAD a night. Definitely not worth the price. Would not stay here again. As a matter of fact, we are driving back through Toronto and have made arrangements to stay elsewhere.
