Dragon Gate Inn - Toronto

For what you pay the place isn’t that bad. Some comments are a little extreme to be honest, if you just need a place to sleep for the night then its fine. No its not a nice place, no its not the cleanest, my girl used towels to create paths between the bed and washroom and couch/tv area. We ended up drinking our wine straight from the bottle because the dishes were pretty bad, glasses were so un-used that they were stuck to the shelf. My girl washed them in the bathroom, kitchen had no sink, but we still had no confidence in using them, had this dusty smell to them. The tv had 4 channels, 3 worked. Thermostat needed new battery, and there was some kind of beeping noise in the building somewhere. The bed seemed fine, clean, the bathroom was clean and the parking is in back behind the collective arts restaurant. They got paper signs on the front door, and front desk door. The “back in 5 mins” is a lie, sounds like they been using that sign for months, just call the bottom number, top number is just call back music. They’re nice people, english ain’t their thing but i had no issue checking us in. $100 deposit when you get there, my advice is give them cash so that when you check out there’s no games tryna get refunded.

It’s what I expected for the price. I do recommend requesting a room with a window in the wall, if that matters to you, our first room only had a skylight, made me anxious, but the gentlemen at the front desk was completely accommodating and found us a room with a window, made sure I was comfortable with it and offered a room with a bigger window if I needed it. (The window was larger than egress so I was content with what he offered)He stood out in the rain to show us where to park, offered to carry our bags. Super polite and helpful.The rooms are not so clean but the sheets are, which is what matters to me.The hotel is bizarre and quirky so it was “an adventure” but we laughed off the oddities and the low budget amenities and not so great cleaning. You get what you pay for and we paid for a 2 star.Beds aren’t too comfy but they aren’t the worst I have slept on either.Cheap accommodations with no frills in a decent location, is what you get. The lay out of the hotel is interesting too. The first room he brought us back outside to the address of the hotel. When I let him know, I needed a window (fear of fire) he accommodated, without hesitation and found a room with a window.If budget matters I recommend this place. If cleanliness, security and perks matter, I don’t. Depends on what your priorities are.We decided to call it an adventure and that’s what it is

Great 2-3 star budget accommodation. Front desk staff were prompt and accommodating. Our room was tidy, pretty basic but had almost everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The ducted air-con was pretty loud, and it would have handy if there was cutlery in the draws. Otherwise, great location with lots of hip food options in the area.

If you've ever been the adventurous type to go to safe non-gentrified parts of cities or travel abroad and stay in hostels. This is like a five star All-Hostels, the price can't be beat the rooms smell clean as you walk in. There's some age and character to the premises which I absolutely loved not to mention the staff was as cool as it gets. Location is mint, parking for a small twenty.

Cheap and not very cheerful.Dirty rooms, with poor quality bed and linen. Very noisy too. Aircon didnt work.Would not reccomend at all

This is NOT a five star hotel . Rating is a lieThis is a hostel . The place is gross dirty and not nice at all . Hall ways dirty and dusty walls goss. No windows i feel like im in a jail cell .. with netflix (the only good thing)1st of all the pictures are not the hotel at allNo sign at the door .. so dirty and grossTook me forever to locate the hotel" as it was un-named and is nothing like the pictures shown... it is in Chinatown.Super gross location is u want slumy then this is it.Room is tiny.The check was akward

This hotel is not fancy and there are aspects of the building and neighbourhood that are a bit run down, and the building itself is somewhat strange. But, it was a very reasonable budget hotel with helpful and friendly staff (the gentleman I checked out with brought me coffee and offered to fix my broken suitcase) who were very accommodating to requests. The room was very large with really high ceilings, which is rare in Toronto, and the price was right. I did not notice any cleanliness issues; my room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The unit featured a functional kitchen, which I value very highly when travelling. It was in a location easy to navigate with public transit and the area was funky and full of interesting restaurants and venues. The water pressure in the shower was excellent and there was plenty of hot water, and the number of towels as well as quantity of complimentary toiletries was generous. It was quiet and calm, and I was very comfortable here.Don't expect the Ritz on this budget, but don't be put off by the bad reviews either. The hotel had idiosyncrasies, sure, and the decor is a little dated, but all in all I had a great stay and staff went out of their way to respect my privacy but make sure that I had everything I needed.

We found this place very adequate for the price. The room did the job of being a place to stay in Toronto that is affordable. It’s located in a very cool strip of Dundas with some decent local restaurants and Kensington Market is within walking distance. It’s close enough to everything and the TTC gets you everywhere you need to go. I would stay here again.

We got robbed at Tim Hortons. Graffiti everywhere. The hotel dosent have a sign and the windows are covered in paper?? Its like a third world country insde. Pretty sure we had an illegal sweet as there are no windows in my room, only a sky light 20 feet up you can't get out of in a fire.Dirty rooms, hair and grime everywhere. There was a kitchen but the fridge had a very bed smell, and was very dirty along with the microwave.

nothing flashy or special but it was relatively clean, comfortable, and safe for the price. if you need a good place to stay on a budget in downtown toronto, this works. We had a room on the courtyard with huge windows and a newly renovated bathroom. I’d go back. Just don’t expect 5 star accommodations.
