Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Westin Harbour Castle is favored for its location on the harbourfront, offering easy access to attractions and the water taxi. Guests appreciate the newly renovated, spacious rooms, often with lake views, and find the beds particularly comfortable, although some have mentioned the bathroom doors could offer more privacy and a microwave would be useful. It's conveniently close to the ferry for trips to the Toronto Islands and within walking distance of downtown, and while some found the in-hotel dining pricey, the hotel's proximity to a 24/7 kitchen market provides convenient alternatives.

adequate stay near the waterfront

convenient locationoutdoor loungesmall roomexpensive food
the location was convenient, close to the ferry terminal. i visited the islands. i found a kitchen market across the street open 24/7, convenient for getting fresh fruit. THE outdoor lounge area was nice, and i watched planes from there.
The room size was small for the price. I expected more space. i thought the food prices were high. $25 For a cheeseburger is expensive.

i loved the smooth check in. the staff welcomed me warmly. the arcade room and the pool offered great leisure options. breakfast had tasty choices. the location was excellent for visiting center island. it made exploration simple.
my car got a flat tire from the valet service. it required an immediate repair to drive home. the tire now has a bulge and i must replace it. this incident marred an otherwise expensive experience.
