The Broadview Hotel

Standout features include a rooftop bar/restaurant, a lobby bistro/cafe, and still/sparkling water stations on guest floors. On-site parking is very limited (many use the paid lot across the street), the rooftop may close for events or early, there’s no gym, and occasional elevator issues were noted.

Cleanliness earns frequent praise, with many describing rooms as very clean or spotless. A few guests reported lapses such as dusty corners, dirty mirrors, mold in a shower, or an isolated pest sighting.

Rooms are stylish and comfortable with very cozy beds and unique touches like in-room record players and some terrace/balcony options. Downsides include some small or dark layouts, thin walls and streetcar/event noise, noisy HVAC, fiddly shower doors, limited storage, and occasional broken amenities or weak TV offerings.

Service is commonly described as friendly, helpful, and responsive, with quick problem resolution and useful text support. Some guests experienced inconsistent front-desk or host interactions, slow or missed room service, billing issues, or uneven VIP recognition.

Set in Toronto’s east end near Leslieville and the Distillery District, the hotel is walkable with streetcars right outside and handy for venues like History. Several guests noted it’s not central to downtown and some found the immediate area gritty or noisy from streetcars.

On-site dining is a highlight for many, with good breakfasts and a venue praised for food, drinks, and views. Caveats include private-event or early closures, the need for reservations, high drink prices, limited vegan options, and occasional slow service.
