We enjoyed our stay at the Fairmount Royal York mainly for its proximity to everything downtown. Conveniently located in the financial district across from Union Station, the RY is also within walking distance to some great venues such as CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and the Lake Ontario waterfront.
Our room was quiet and clean though a bit small. Maybe if we had royal last names we would have recieved an upgrade. Loved old the vintage decor. Historical hotel where many dignitaries stay while in Toronto. Ample selection of shops and restaurants (Epic, Piper's and Benihana) on the lower level. Easy access to subways too.
