Review from Rafael G.

The Grange gets four stars for giving you everything you need and nothing you don't for a low, low price. Your reservation gets you a clean room in a central location. And that's about it. Most everything at the hotel is old, they have very limited staff and there's not even really a lobby. You can cook at the kitchenette in your room, and there's a tv and free wifi, but no ironing board! If you stay at the Grange you can reward yourself by using the money you saved for to a nice meal.

I came into Grange Hotel for a photo shoot. The scene for the shoot was a 'seedy hotel room concept' and GH somewhat fulfilled that description, but I'm sure theres far seedier hotels out there.
The room was small yet organized and clean. I noticed there was a small kitchenette with a microwave and hot plate in there,which I'm sure would come in handy. The quarters were realy cramped though as there was hardly enough room for all the equipment we had brought in.
I also couldn't help but notice that the toilet had tape over it reading 'Sanitzed'. NIce.
I could see this being a good option if you're looking for a cheap room to spend a few nights in. Location is decent and easily accessible by public transit. Need to mention though, if you're driving there its an extra few bucks to park in the hotel's lot.Listed in: 1 Review A Day For Every Day…

I was visiting Toronto to see my Mother who was at the Toronto Western Hospital for a few days, which is just 3 blocks or so away from this small unique hotel on the edge of Chinatown, right near Kensington Market, and spent 5 nights here at the Grange. This is a small several story slightly dated-but-modern building, which was once apartments (still some which are Grandfathered in). It's exceptionally quiet, very pleasant, very budgety, with a pleasant but slightly withdrawn representative at the desk at all times, and is set inside a slightly downscale neighborhood just one block from a school and major street, with free broadband Internet.
The room I stayed in was VERY small, with a 'kitchenette' (microwave, fridge, stove top, sink, utensils, a pan or two), a small tub/shower, and a decent view toward one end of downtown, with a REALLY nice (barren - it was Winter) Birch tree outside the one window. I can't overemphasize how quiet it was. This would NOT be the place to have friends over or stay up late with a loud TV on (there is one), use it as a party base, or frankly have anything other than silent 'intimate' moments with another person.
That said I LOVED it! It was PERFECT for my purposes. The Internet connection was flawless. The mood was delightful. The room was toasty warm, and i moderated the temp down by using the open window to cool it from time to time.
If you want simple, SUPER CHEAP (was $70/night plus tax), super quiet, homey, warm, in-neighborhood comfort, surrounded by ethnic Chinese and other locals then this is the place. I will go out of my way to send friends who like what I like - REAL and CHEAP - to the Grande! -

I was a bit hesitant to stay in a hotel because of the price. However. . . this hotel was deffo a bargain for the price!! The location is so convenient and the staff was wicked nice!! It's a quiet neighbourhood just off Chinatown and just minutes from Queen street!! It was clean. . . a bit shabby if you're used to The Hilton. . . but nice enough that I'd go back!!

Love this place. Came here all the time during college during our road trips to Toronto. This is a place you can love only if you are a student on a budget, looking for a place with convenience (walking distance to Chinatown, free parking) and a clean-enough vibe to crash at. Man, I have such great memories. Amazingly, during one trip, we didn't make a reservation before heading up, figuring there'd be room at the inn, but turns out they were sold out. Yes, they are that popular!
