- "The Idlewyld Inn & Spa is certainly a very beautiful place to stay. It is in a terrific location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had dinner there April 30/24, and stayed overnight. Our Server was Katherine, and she was superb. So were our meals, and our room! The next morning we had a great breakfast. Michelle and Melissa made us feel very comfortable. After checking out, we went to an amazing show at The Grand Theatre, which IS only 2km away."

- "Everything. Location, staff and amenities" - "Room 207 (Dundas Street View) Hotel uses digital entry code for building and room. Rooms are Loft Style and oversized everything includes a Rain Forest Shower. Many restaurant's within a five minute walk. Hotel is Clean, Safe and Quiet." - "Great location. Modern amenities. Cool place" - "Spacious room, central location right near Covent garden market, close to restaurants, bars, cafes. Perfect for a business trip. Room was exceptionally clean and it felt like a luxurious experience which was a nice treat after a long day of work and meetings. I particularly liked the no room-keycard experience of just receiving a 4 digits code by text or email which was smart and efficient. I will book the Hotel Metro again next quarter."
