I ate lunch at the Broadview Hotel today with my daughter, son in law and grandchildren. The service was slow, the servers didn’t know the menu like which items were gluten free, dairy free or if the ricotta cheese was on top of the pancakes or inside. This is 2026. You need to have menus that indicate allergens and offer options to people who deal with allergies daily. We frequented this restaurant during the winter months and had much better luck (omelettes with no dairy or gluten) and servers who were very helpful. You can do better.

The location is great if you’re going to a show at History and the rooftop restaurant is pretty with nice views but that’s pretty much where my positives end. First, the bed. You get one thin “duvet” and that’s it. Ours had multiple stains that looked like blood. The pillows were way too soft for my liking. I woke up both mornings with bad lower back and neck pain. The bathrooms are tiny and the shower ran out of hot water by the time I finished my shower and my friend started hers. Housekeeping never came to attend to our room at all. I had asked if they could come after 12pm because we were going to be heading out for the day. We arrived back at midnight that night to find it had not been done. One other thing to note (not the hotels fault but something to keep in mind) is that there are street cars that go by right outside the windows and they are very loud. My friend barely slept while we were there. Luckily I had ear plugs. For $600/night, I probably won’t stay here again.

Amazing experience! Such a nice hotel with wonderful staff. Isha at the front desk was very helpful and kind. My partner and I were exhausted from a long drive, so I greatly appreciated her helping us bring our luggage from the parking lot behind the hotel street. Breakfast and dinner at the rooftop were amazing as well. Highly recommended!

I had a really nice stay here. The Bistro was closed because of construction, which was a little disappointing, but the food was still great in the Rooftop restaurant and the overall experience was comfortable. Check-in was smooth, and I appreciated being given a quiet room. That made the stay much more relaxing. The team was welcoming and attentive, and Isha at the front desk in particular was very helpful. I always enjoy coming here, and this visit was another good reminder of why.

We chose the Tower floor at The Broadview Hotel for our 12 person wedding, and it was a great fit for an intimate celebration. The location is very convenient, right between downtown and the east end, making it easy for our families to get to. We also booked a couple of hotel rooms for ourselves and the wedding party. The Corner Room was perfect for getting ready and for pre ceremony photos, while the Deluxe Rooms were comfortable for other couples in the group. The Tower space comfortably hosted both our ceremony and dinner. We were initially concerned about lighting, but on a sunny day the room really shines. The large windows bring in beautiful natural light, especially around sunset, and the exposed brick and chandeliers add a warm, rustic feel. The hotel has a charming vintage vibe, with thoughtful touches like the record player in the rooms. The second floor balcony and nearby streetcar line made for some classic Toronto photo opportunities, and the surrounding neighbourhood has plenty of great spots for coffee and brunch. The catering was excellent, and the staff were friendly, professional, and accommodating throughout. They handled dietary needs, including gluten free, vegetarian, and halal options, without any issues.

Booked the winter market room package for a couple nights to attend a nearby concert and the the distillery district winter market. The hotel itself is a beautiful heritage building conveniently located a short trip from both HISTORY and Rebel concert venues (walkable, just maybe not great in the winter!) as well as the distillery district. Package included two priority access winter village tickets, two complimentary cocktails at the rooftop bar, breakfast for two, a bottle of Broadview Hotel Red, and a cute lil' candle. Extraordinarily fair value for everything included. The room (king sitting suite facing Broadview) was lovely with exceptional amenities, (save for the unsurprisingly mold-ridden coffee maker, but that's expected) and very nicely decorated. Loved the provided record player and selection of music - couldn't find the record library, but love that it's available! Glass bottles are provided for water, and refill taps were bar-style with both still and sparkling to our pleasant surprise. Provided towels and bathrobes were quality enough to be a highlight, and the selection of organic soaps were quite lovely. Bedding was unbelievably comfortable. I can't stress enough how much of a highlight the towels and bedding were - we took every extra second we could to just stay cozied up before checkout. Worth mentioning as well that despite being on a fairly busy street corner, it's exceptionally soundproofed and my VERY light-sleeper partner had no issues. The Rooftop has lovely views day & night and the cocktails were fantastic. Worth a visit itself especially in the warmer months when the patio opens. Calabrian Cauliflower and the focaccia were incredible, and they were more than happy to accommodate my request for an all-mezcal 'Smoke Show' which was lovely. Only downside - the breakfast in the lobby bistro was frankly abysmal in both quality and service. The manager/supervisor was oddly hawkish and outright rude, very obviously trying to push out every patron as fast as possible despite the room being near entirely empty - none of us were lingering, either, this was happening 5 minutes after receiving our food. On that note, the food was underwhelming and multiple components of both our orders were completely wrong - wrong toast on both plates, wrong proteins, eggs cooked the literal opposite of each of our requests. When we raised this concern, they brought out extra of each of the wrong items. It was impressively incompetent. There are several lovely breakfast spots a short walk down the street that I highly encourage any guests to mosey over to before even thinking about popping into the bistro (check out Bonjour Brioche down the road!). On a similar note, coffee was just fine, but given the area and how many excellent cafes are in walking distance, I'd skip on it. If the meal hadn't been complimentary with our booking, and the coffees comp'd without request (only upside), I'd probably be a lot more than miffed. Unfortunately, The Civic was closed during our time there, and it looks like they're set to launch a new restaurant in the space that I'm looking forward to checking out as soon as they open. Not sure what the updated space is going to look like, but the former setup was visible in the lobby and was gorgeous. Check-in and check-out was wonderful and lobby staff were great to chat with, giving us some much appreciated history on the building and local recommendations unprompted. Key card access to lobby was great for all of our late night outings. Assuredly not just a would-stay again, but a will-stay again.

We came last summer to scope out The Broadview for our micro wedding by having dinner on the rooftop last summer and knew within minutes this was the right place. This 135 year-old building is beautifully restored and brimming with vintage charm everywhere. Food was delicious and the vibe was great. Rooms are unique and beautiful, The Bistro restaurant on the ground floor also a classy spot. And the views of downtown Toronto from the Rooftop Bar and Patio is fantastic. We had our wedding in late January 2026 up high in the Tower Room with our small group of 14 and it was the perfect private dining space for our party. Our friendly, caring and lovely Event Manager was Kathleen who patiently answered all our many email questions and met with us to go over the details before our event. She was amazing, super-organized and took excellent care of us throughout the entire process making sure every detail we needed was accommodated. The entire Broadview Team was excellent, friendly and professional. They set up the dining tables and chairs against the walls first to allow our wedding procession and afterward the ceremony they put the two tables together in a square so we could all sit around the perimeter for dinner. The setup allowed us to have the wedding ceremony, procession with flower girl, unity candle, signing, first dance, music and dinner all in the same space. All our guests had rooms there as well for two nights and we went into Toronto for other events making it the perfect venue to get married in. The food, drinks, staff and service were all 5-star. We had a great time and highly recommend The Broadview Hotel. Also a big shout-out to The Marry Men officiants and The Eastcore Photojournalists all of them are best in the business. Thanks again Kathleen and everyone at The Broadview, we'll be back on our first anniversary!

We booked this hotel because of its proximity to the Opera House which was about a minute walk and it couldn’t have been better. The hotel itself has such character and beautiful rooms. We went to the rooftop bar for happy hour and the atmosphere was great (so were the cocktails), and the coffee bar in the lobby was perfect in the morning. They have parking as well but it was full, so we parked in the lot across the street.

We had an amazing stay here! Loved the room with the balcony area even in the winter. Beautiful hotel. Really nice touches like the record player. We can’t wait to stay here again.

It's a beautiful hotel; it has a very unique and bougie vibe. My room was clean, spacious, and well decorated. The bathroom was very clean as well. The room also has blackout curtains which is a nice touch. I ordered room service twice and both times the food and drinks were delicious and delivered in a timely manner. Isha at the front desk was so sweet and super helpful! I will definitely be staying here in the future when I'm in Toronto.
