The Novotel Toronto Centre is frequently praised for its proximity to Union Station, making it convenient for travelers. Guests often highlight the spacious rooms, especially those with two queen beds, and appreciate the comfortable beds.

The hotel is near Union Station. Many good restaurants are just across the street. The room seemed recently renovated. It was also clean.
I did not like the breakfast buffet. I prepaid for it. Everything was lukewarm and soggy. I expected freshly cooked eggs and hot crispy bacon.

Adequate stay

convenient locationmany attractionsquick meal optionpool areaannual maintenancedifficult usage
The location was convenient. I could walk to many attractions. The restaurant inside the building was also useful. It provided a quick option for meals.
The pool area was closed. The saunas were located inside the bathrooms. This made it difficult to use them with a partner.
