Review from Luisa D.
This place is gorgeous!
I loved the big bathroom with the separate room for the toilet. Great when you're sharing a room. The huge, deep bathtub was so inviting. I managed to find time for at least a quick bath. My colleague told me the shower was amazing too. The bed was really comfortable. My only question is why hotels rarely have outlets beside the bed. Most of our use our phones for alarms and need to charge them.
In the morning we were rushing off to the airport and it was a real treat to be able to make a latte in the comfortable lounge before we left. -

There seems to be an obsession with apples at this hotel. They were randomly placed everywhere - lining the halls, in the conference rooms, etc, but that's okay because this hotel is pretty awesome.
Like many others, I loved the waterfall shower. The bathrobes were super fluffy. The bed was incredibly comfortable. If I were back in Toronto by choice, I would totally stay here again.
On a side note, there were some well-known Canadian actors/comedians at the bar one night (as I was told by the crowd). At first I was excited but then I was like meh, its Canada, and went to sleep. -

Hubby and I came here for a saucy weekend away from home. We also love Hotel Germain as they are super dog friendly and allow bigger dogs like our 60 lb Amstaff to stay for a nominal fee of $35. We checked around at other hotels (who shall remain nameless) and they all only allow dogs or cats 25 lbs or under, but who's gonna bring a 25lb cat along for a naughty weekend??
They really go all out to spoil the dogs at Hotel Germain as they get their own food/ water bowls and a little care package with treats and their own doggie bed. It was so cute as the hotel mistakingly gave us a mini toy dog sized bed, and our 60lb baby still slept in it even when they brought a replacement big bed just for her!
The interior of our Luxury Room was spacious (at 475 sq feet) and gorgeous with high ceilings modern wood panelling and a plush king sized bed outfitted with egyptian cotton sheets.
My favorite is the bathroom with a sexy shower/bath with a full glass pane that faces the bed with blinds (open of course!) so you can get your rub-a-dub live shower show on. Our dog was not impressed!!
Hubby took advantage of a special "Romantic Weekend" promo offered from Germain which for $375 (taxes inclusive) included a voucher for discounted dining at the Victor Restaurant. It was a sweet deal complete with Champagne chilled in ice, fancy little package of condoms (x2 + lube!!!), a good sized green tea scented soy candle plus a healthy serving of strawberries dipped in chocolate which we tried to erotically feed each other "91/2 weeks" style, but klutzily ended up smearing chocolate all over the sheets...I felt bad and left a good tip plus a note for housekeeping that read
"Don't worry... it's only chocolate"
My only complaint was the outside noise as it was a Saturday and 905ers partied loud at Rockwood & Grass across the street. I guess technically we weren't there to sleep anyway...

I love this hotel.. how so beautiful and how so cozy..!!!!
I have stayed at many boutique hotel cross North America and by bar this place is one of my top!
i didn't get room service or had the pleasure to get assisted with any restaurant choices so i cannot comment on the concierges, but can't be worse then Thompson.. sorry but i rather stay here then the Thompson by far
it's comparable to Hazelton but with little less price tag and better location in my opinion..
or is u r from Vancouver Opus would be a great comaprson, as far as the look and the location goes.. -

Wow, this place definitely deserves a 4 or 5. I can't comment on the price, since I didn't pay for it.
But its located in a nice area, just steps away from the restaurants on King St. If you're thinking of visiting Toronto, this is a good place to stay. The theatre district and clubbing area is just a moment away. The hotel room itself is nice, with a big comfortable bed, and room service all throughout the night.
The shower was my favourite part. It has a huge shower head with low flow, so it feels like rain is gently pooring on your head. I wanted to stay in the shower for hours!
The TV needs an upgrade, that is my only complaint. But it did not ruin my night in the slightest because it is still a fairly decent sized tv.
Highly recommend this place.

Oooh la Le Germain! I try to stick with Starwood and Kimpton Hotels during my frequent travels since I"m a sucker for the points system, but nothing quite compares to a boutique hotel like Le Germain.
This quaint, fancy hotel is fit for a queen! I didn't get to spend much time in my hotel room, but the time I spent was certainly enjoyed. The bed was beyond comfortable, the bathroom was gorgeous (the aveda products made me happy too) and I loved the free wifi...especially since I was without cell service during my 3 days in Toronto.
The location was perfect...I felt like I was able to walk to most of my destinations. I hear that this area can get quite noisy during the weekend, but it was pretty quiet during my Wed-Fri stay.
I also had their spacious gym to myself on both occasions that I attempted a workout. I just used their elliptical machine, but thought it was super cool that they had a mini golf course attached to the gym as well. Golf isn't my forte, but if it was I'd appreciate being able to practice.
Hotel Le Germain will be the first hotel I call for future trips to Toronto. It looks like they also have other locations throughout Canada. Hmmm..I may need to see if they have a point system to sign up for?Listed in: Hotels Around the World, My visit to Toronto

A wonderful birthday present two years ago..... what a nice hotel! It's central location is ideal for the tourist and it's gorgeous reception area is just the beginning of what's to come. The concierge is extremely accomodating and helpful as is everyone I came across.
The rooms are spacious and the beds are like big fluffy cotton balls .... but for me the best part was the bathroom. There is only a glass wall that seperates the shower & bedroom and there is a huge shower head above you for the rainfall effect. The camode and bidet has its own seperate corridor (if u will). And they have Aveda bath & hair products which make it a spa experience everytime! -

I've stayed at Le Germain quite a few times now because of company trips, and I have to wholeheartedly recommend Le Germain to ANYBODY visiting Toronto. The reasons?
1. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are wonderful, the showers are unbelievable (modern rain showers with water that gets hot very quickly, sweet!) and the beds are even better.
2. The staff is amazing. Once I arrived for a trip for my company and realized that I didn't have a reservation. Tired and devastated, the hotel staff quickly jumped to my rescue. They called around the Toronto area to book me a room, and one member of the staff walked me to the hotel to make sure that I had a room. When I didn't, he escorted me back with many apologies. They finally booked me a room and had a car drive me. During my most recent trip, the front desk helped me coordinate a car to the airport. Once I arrived in the morning rather bleary-eyed to check out, a cheery staff member grabbed my bags and the car was already waiting for me. A+++++ for customer service!
3. The continental breakfast is one of the best ways to start the day. Yogurt, juices, muffins, cheeses - you name it, they probably have it. Their fruit is fresh and I love being able to sit down and refuel at the mezzanine area. The staff there is always friendly and brings a cup of hot coffee.
If only I could find a boutique equivalent hotel in the US. Keep up the amazing work!! -

Best hotel EVER! I have stayed in hotels all across North America and this boutique hotel is by far my favourite!! The decor is modern and everything is super posh down to the smallest detail. When you enter your room the lights are dimmed and there is classical music playing. Once you have settled in your room a concierge stops by to offer you welcome cookies- yum! When you return from dinner your bed has been turned down with a yummy chocolate on the pillow. Breakfast is covered in your room rate and includes fresh fruit salad, bagels, crepes, smoke salmon, juices and espresso drinks. If you have a short drive to work or the theatre ask to use the hotel car service, another complimentary service the hotel offers.
This is the best hotel in North America, I have stayed multiple times and have never been disappointed. -

Complete agreement with previous reviewer. This is one of the finest hotels I have ever stayed in, especially considering the price, which (even without my corporate discount) is cheaper than places like W or the Four Seasons. I stayed at the Le Germain in Montreal (separate review) and was so pleased there was one in Toronto. I have stayed here on 3 separate occasions, and the experience has never been short of excellent.
The bright, open lobby features a large library and seating area with fireplace. As nice as this is, though, it is the rooms that are truly fantastic. Spacious rooms, featuring perhaps the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in (goose down comforters and super soft linens), are warm and inviting. You can tell a lot of thought went into the tasteful decor. The waterfall shower leaves you feeling refreshed.
The mezzanine level features their meeting spaces and the breakfast servery, where you can get complimentary continental breakfast and made-to-order espresso drinks. Speaking of complimentary, you also get free wireless Internet and bottled water (which is exciting because most hotels would charge you $5 a bottle.)
Victor, the hotel restaurant, appears to be one of the better restaurants in town. I've not eaten there, but have enjoyed expertly crafted cocktails (try the Old Fashioned or Sidecar) and whisky served by dram. -

I have stayed at hundreds of hotels in my lifetime, and none, not even ONE has measured up to the perfection of the Le Germain in Toronto. Service was immaculate, rooms were modern, Aveda products in the bathroom, and an overall great atmosphere. Worth every cent of the $333 paid - will definitely be back!

This might be my favorite hotel in North America. It is completely sumptuous, with beautiful, luxe decor including the most delicious sheets on the planet; a fabulous library off of the lobby, filled with design books and free coffee/hot cocoa; delicious breakfast croissants; a roof deck strung with twinkly lights; and Bruce Mau-designed elevators.
Oh, and the housekeeping staff leaves chocolates on the pillows. CHOCOLATES! Le Germain is unreal. -

Good hotel.... Great location.
Watch out in the summer if your room faces south as it will overlook three roof top bars across the street that will be very noisy until the late hours of the night. ( The hotel recognizes this as they issue ear plugs in the room) -

Fantastic hotel in the King Street Entertainment District area. I stayed in room 711 which is a luxury suite. This suite and the hotel epitomize what a small luxury hotel should be. Fantastic beds, Bose technology with iPod docking stations, free wi-fi, a large deck and fireplace are all highlights of this suite. I would stay here again. I also walked through the Le Germaine at Maple Leaf Square. It looks to be amazing as well.
