10/10 Exceptional

I always stay at The Drake when going to Toronto. This was my first time in the modern wing and it did not disappoint! Staff throughout was stellar and super attentive.
MARTHA, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This property had a large unexpected deposit fee that I was not aware of and absolutely NO amenities included for the price. The room was very small but manageable if you are traveling alone or with 1 other person. I was not a fan of the location as everything around felt very wary. Overall would not recommend staying here as you can absolutely find better options for the nightly price.

10/10 Exceptional

The Drake Hotel is all you could want from a boutique hotel: it’s full of style and personality, always busy and very comfortable. The food at the restaurant is great, and the staff is welcoming and resourceful. Our 3-night stay there was fantastic and we’ll come again.

Swiftie weekend

We had a wonderful stay at The Drake Hotel. Loved how they accommodated the swifties during Taylor Swift's concert weekends. All of the extra touches helped to hype us up for the big night. We ate at the hotel for dinner and brunch. The sushi was amazing. Would definitely stay here again.

lovely hotel

The hotel is well located. I arrived early and the front desk person was very helpful and friendly, and I was able to check in early. The room itself was very cute and comfortable with a lot of character. The bed was also very comfortable. Overall I very much enjoyed my stay and the service I received.
