The hotel creates a resort-style atmosphere with its selection of pools and eateries, ensuring that no one will be bored during their stay here. The hotel can feel very big and it caters well to families so is often busy, but it's well positioned with plenty of facilities for everyone.

OUR OPINION:

The Chelsea feels like the large hotel that it is but the facilities and location mean that it’s excellent value for money. It’s a good, simple option for a base to explore Toronto.
